What the dicks is it with Japan boasting about how their country has four seasons? Half the planet has four seasons!

Global warming will hit Japan too, no worries.

it cant hit them if they're underwater though

it's also hard to overstate just how deeply the four seasons and seasonal awareness meme runs in Japanese culture. It's in ancient heian court poetry, it's in culinary traditions (new cooking that suits the seasons), it's in their ways of socializing (let's go see the sakura/cicadas just make you think of summer don't they? Etc)

imagine being so ignorant in geography that you think having distinct seasons are unusual.
There are a lot of exceptions, I'll give you that. But those exceptions are only significant because most places actually do experience the full seasonal effects

Japan is pretty full of itself. They're one of the few countries that still uses a world map with itself in the center.

Though in it's defense, lots of places are full of themselves. Ever heard that saying "If you don't like the weather in blank, wait 5 minutes!".
I've heard people from tons of different places all say this about their particular place, and they all think it's special to them.

having 4 nice seasons is noteworthy exactly because most places have shit seasons

name one. I'll wait.
Explain what place is known for its absence of 4 seasons, which season is absent and why.
And then take a fucking geography course because you're wrong. most places have a full summer, winter, autumn and spring.
Even indonesia experiences a rainy winter season, and they never go much above or below 80 degrees

>one of the few countries that still uses a world map with itself in the center
Pretty much everyone who matters does that, Europe created the standard that puts it right in the middle, and then Burgerland will actually split Asia in half to put itself in the center spot.

I wouldn't take anything the virgin prostitue says seriously.

Unless either of you is actually willing to find some statistics of what percentage of the world experiences 4 seasons and what percentage has less, you're both just monkeys flinging your own shit at each other.

That said, I'm pretty sure the first guy is right. Most places have 4 seasons, and even if they didn't the ratio has got to be pretty close to Japanese people are stupid for thinking their country is some kind of rare exception.

Wasn't "four distinct seasons" meant as an implication that it lies in a temperate climate?

>and then Burgerland will actually split Asia in half to put itself in the center spot.
No it fucking doesn't retard. This is the only style of world map I'd ever seen all my life in America. It wasn't until I got onto the internet that I saw other countries draw themselves as the center.

It's ironically one instance of the stereotype of America being arrogant and thinking it's the center of the world being completely inverted, and all the other countries being full of themselves.

Could this be the political platform we were looking for? We have to save the anime?

I cringed so hard in Gosick when MC is introduced and is apparently "bullied" by European kids because of his (wait for it) BLACK hair and eyes and they call him BLACK DEATH or something like that. Had to drop it after that.

It depends on where you are. 4 seasons is generally the case in a very noticeable way for countries in temperate climates. Japan has lots of contact with countries in sub-tropical climates though, so the 4 seasons wouldn't be as noticeable there.

I've seen dumber. Like in Kiniro Mosiac when a white british girl gets bullied in Japan by the native japanese people for having such narrow eyes.

It's not the other countries being full of themselves, we just had to have the prime meridian SOMEWHERE and we picked Greenwich because most of the sea charts used for maritime commerce at the time it was standardized worldwide used Greenwich.

Japan is the country equivalent of a chuuni. They think they're unique and special, but they aren't.

In prisma illya a character expresses how happy she was to be born in a country with baths (referring to japan)

Yes, japan thinks BATHS are something unique and special that they came up with and the rest of the world hasn't figured out. Keep this kind of thing in mind when you watch anime.

And here i thought it went straight through London because Great Britain was a big deal when the map was made

Hold on, everyone stop for a minute.
I thought Japan had 5 distinct seasons?

To be fair, for Japan Pacific is a lot more relevant than Atlantic, so it makes sense to cut the map at the latter.

Attached: real-inter_wmp-006s1.jpg (640x428, 88K)

How do they have a map like this but still think of themselves as "the east" and places like america as "the west".

That shit was also present in this anime when that ninja girl only wished for an "eastern style" bath to be built in the new villa.

Because Europeans first called Japan "the east" and America "the west".

Nah the bongs aren't that arrogant, surprisingly.

A lot of tropical places have two seasons, wet & dry. Also, several places you don't get a very good distinction between all four. Like further up North you get, Spring & Summer are too similar to one another before it quickly becomes winter skipping fall.

*nihonjin

>Spain is on the center of the map even when we are not relevant anymore
So sad

In my country we have three seasons, the one where it's cold, the one where it's neither hot nor cold and the one where it's hot

My country have 6 seasons. But sadly no snow.

I don't understand. We have 4 seasons in bongland, despite the temperature not getting extreme. What metric do you use to define 4 "distinct" seasons?

Yeah not that snowy

I would bring it up more but in pretty sure that's a fast way to garner hatred of every Japanese in the country

No, it's not.

Summer, Rainy season, autumn, late autumn, winter and lastly spring.

Kind of irrelevant when one survived to modern times while the other did not.
Then again, you have a point since gate primitives are roman stand-ins.

You can still find it, albeit its not as popular as soi sauce.

now that's actually interesting. Does it have a name (or available recipe) so I can keep an eye out for it?
Even if I end up not liking it I'd like to try it.

It's called Garum. A better fish sauce.
youtube.com/watch?v=KLDlUGXJMFY

And it's not even correct, they have 5 seasons. For some reason they often neglect to mention the rain season.

>survived to modern times while the other did not
Of course it did and then it was improved
>"A fermented fish sauce called garum was a staple of Greco-Roman cuisine and of the Mediterranean economy of the Roman Empire, as the first-century encyclopaedist Pliny the Elder writes in his Historia Naturalis and the fourth/fifth-century Roman culinary text Apicius includes garum in its recipes. The use of similar fermented anchovy sauces in Europe can be traced back to the 17th century.[5]

The Lea & Perrins brand was commercialised in 1837 and was the first type of sauce to bear the Worcestershire name.[6] The origin of the Lea & Perrins recipe is unclear. The packaging originally stated that the sauce came "from the recipe of a nobleman in the county". The company has also claimed that "Lord Marcus Sandys, ex-Governor of Bengal" encountered it while in India with the East India Company in the 1830s, and commissioned the local apothecaries to recreate it."

My city only has summer and winter now. Fuck climate change ;_;

The problem is that typical Anime artstyle makes it hard to make ethnic differences clear beyond skin tone. So you can't have a Japanese kid be bullied for the shape of his eyes when everyone's eyes look the same.

Enlighten us, what does it mean?

Seasonal awareness is deeply engrained in European and American culture due to how important it is to farming.

Superior nippon seasons folded over one thousand times

Thank you for the enlightenment, Anons.
I had just assumed soi sauce was popular due to lack of direct alternatives. But it seems it's just my own ignorance at work here.

Dunno, but as a coastal Texan, I would kill to have something other than HOT and humid, not so hot, and I’m breathing FUCKING SOUP.

I don't really want to take the Japanese side, because that's not the point, but I still find i bit funny that when a Japanese anime written for Japanese says, covertly, something like: "Japan is the best country in the world". A lot of people immediately go into full triggers.

And Gate was pretty good at triggering.

Well I am sorry, there are better ways do this than what Gate did. Holy shit that was retarded.

It certainly wasted some of the opportunities the setting and characters had, although there can be disagreement about what parts were good. I wish there were more that used gates like that so we could have more like it but done better.

The difference between climate is important that's one of the first sections on wikipedia pages of any country. Where you live is irrelevant: there are countries without distinct 4 seasons like Russia and Egypt, then there's Japan with distinct 4 seasons.

There's nothing wrong with diplomats noting that detail to describe their country climate is important as fuck.
Well it really depends: Russia is big and I'm exagerrating but most densely populated areas are notorious for their shitty cold climate. There's continental parts in it that have -40 winters and +40 summers °C

Japan has this "thing" with the four seasons. There's even a huge book they're forced to study for school in which a shitton of classical poems are divided up into the seasons and the poems themselves wax poetic about the seasons, so it has a huge cultural impact and significance for them. You can even see this live and in-action when you hear your anime characters going "When you think of [Time of year], what do you think of? Of course, you think of [Subject]!" You know why Japanese McDonalds has so many random creative menu items that will never show up Stateside? It's because they have to have seasonal foods to match the season.

I actually had a couple of friends that moved to America from Japan, and they were quite shocked to find out the silliest things, such as certain parts of America having four seasons and Spring blossoms, like Japan does.

Huh at first I thought the four seasons thing was just japs being ignorant about the rest of the world like usual but now I see they are right and japanese people are actually very wise and japan is the best and most unique country in the world

I think you'd have to make it rotate along that second axis, but complex rotations are confusing.

Okay what causes winter in northern hemisphere? I thought it's earth rotation angle compared to it's orbit around the sun. A lot of atmosphere for sun to go through before reaching planet surface because angle is sharp. Then there's solar day length that is short in winter, it's due to elliptical orbit of Earth around the sun or something it rotates relatively faster to the sun in winter thus making days shorter.

pretty sure it is a thing, but it doesn't have a strong effect on temperature. It's just just the angle of the dangle, a surface perpendicular to the light source will have all of the light hitting it, the farther away you tilt it, the less it will get.

The closer you are to the equator, the less seasons matter.

Miso BTFO, the romans had fermented fish stock a millenium earlier

You were, on just about everything else in that post. Earth's orbit is basically a circle anyway, so the actual distance from the sun doesn't do a lot for the climate.

But user, how do we get night time if it isn't us slingshotting our eccentric orbit out past Pluto all comet-like?

In that case, a more normal thing to say would be "we have good weather". Saying you have 4 seasons is neither nice or bad, it's a completely neutral statement that means nothing.

It's really not. I don't know why you think this. I've lived in like 7 countries and only 2-3 of them ever has actual winters. And a few of them just had wet and dry seasons. It is in fact noteworthy to mention you have all 4, I'm shocked you're STILL being autistic about this.

This is a thing in other anime, not just this one. It's a big part of Japan's culture that they always talk about how they specifically have 4 distinct seasons

I'll admit its really comf to take a walk at night while its snowing though

Slush is terrible its true, but I'd say that the "week counter" is reset so long as you keep getting fresh snowfall. It's an added bonus that 99% of insect life is dead and gone when you get snow.

>tfw currently living in a country with only wet and dry seasons
Majority of people here have never seen snow so yeah it's a kinda noteworthy thing. Just cause you take it for granted doesn't mean it can't be special to some people.

Also what's wrong with simply describing a place as an introduction anyway? Climate is probably one of this biggest and most notable features is a country, you'd probably want to emphasise that it has 4 district seasons, or the other person may think it's a desert or tropical paradise or tundra for all they know.

>forgetting eyeholes
You still have much to learn...

You never see Westerners be they real or fictional describing their countries as having 4 seasons though.

>you fell into his trap!

Because most westerners are unaware of the fact places can not have 4 seasons since they don't travel. Japan is quite near several countries that don't have 4 seasons. Funny how that works isn't it?

Don't they have multiple cities with 10+ meters of snow a year. That's pretty substantial.

youtu.be/zhGnuWwpNxI

No, I've just visited places that aren't a huge city so I've seen how seasons work in small or medium sized towns as well as unpopulated areas.
Most of Europe has 4 distinct seasons if you don't look at huge cities that are like a minimum of 10 degrees Celsius hotter than everything around them.

They still cucked

eh the janitors will nuke them like they always do

Make a list with all the countries that have snow at some point of the year, then after that make a list with these countries that also have a perfect dream summer with the classic cicada noises everywhere, now out of the countries left make now a list with those that also have the classic orange auttum and the pink blooming spring, i'm pretty sure not even the 20% of the world can tell they have all perfect 4.

You don't really need to make a list. points out why it's something worth mentioning. Half or more of the world doesn't have 4 seasons, so it's worth mentioning to someone if you don't know where they're from.

Still waiting for that list, cities are usually so polluted that the change of station are not noticeable, which is the main point of this discussion.

It's kinda stupid, but Orario is clearly in a dry desert environment so it's a big difference compared to it. And there is no internet, TV or radio to get all the info from around the world. It's entirely possible for people born in Orario to not have seen all 4 seasons.

Onions sauce bragging on the other hand can just fuck off. Plain white rice with onions sauce was and will never been anything more than filler food. A salted roasted potato is more refined than what Japan brags about in isekai.

>cities are usually so polluted that the change of station are not noticeable
Pollution doesn't stop snow in Russia. You just have nickel open-mining waste seep into snowflakes.

>cities are usually so polluted that the change of station are not noticeable
So just like in Japan?

Human population is not evenly spread, so you can't just count the number of lines like that. It doesn't matter though because green is easily covering most of the world's population. It looks like basically the entire first world, eastern Europe, Russia, China, and northern India

In Japan the 4 seasons are perfect regardless of pollution, you can even feel it on Tokyo.

But user! Think of the glorious rice, the glorious onions sauce, glorious raw fish and the glorious baths they have and bring to all the underdeveloped and retarded medieval European isekai worlds. Nippon is best!

Most of South East Asia

Reminder that cicada leaves the safe comfort of their underground dwelling and ventures in a world full of mortal danger solely for the purpose of getting laid.
I'm sure there's a lesson for user somewhere here but it eludes me.

Just install Grinder on your phone and get laid from the safety of your basement.

Imagine an anime about cicadas but the cicadas are now moe girls.

I'm pretty sure there's mahou shoujo like that then there's that show with literal cicadas in the title.

poland only has one season - depressing

>mfw both times I was in Warsaw it was +15 and raining
Can confirm.

i wish my country had 4 seasons.
i want to feel snow at least once before i kill myself.

Lock yourself in the freezer.

>tfw Summer and Winter are greedily eating into the other seasons more and more every year

Fuck the east coast. I can't wait for the three goddamn days of Autumn to come four months from now.

Heres the problem with that, the OP says DISTINCT seasons. I wouldn't consider florida and texas as having 4 distinct seasons, let alone distinct in the same sense of Japan and other places along that longitude.
So that green portion should shrink considerably, this map measures 4 seasons in the loosest way possible, not that that's bad, but it's too broad for this discussion. Blue and orange lines are hard and shouldn't change. So its easily more than 50%.

I understand that. But do you really think "black death" is an insult? It sounds like something nips would like to be called. The author clearly glorifies Japanese even when he tries to come up with insults.

>Half the planet has four seasons!
Does it really? Most of Europe now goes from scorching heat to winter, there's barely any spring and summer.

probably the first Yea Forumsnon in 10 years that said that Yamato Nedeshikos are the best

normally they're called "doormats" or "worst girl who won" (unless you are confusing them with himecut samurai girls then you're spot on)

and fall* fucking hell.

Well, here we only get hot as fuck season, random rain season, hot as fuck season again and sligthly windy season.

I haven't seen maps of danmachi world, but in my headcanon, the city exists in the center of the world, which would mean it has no distinct seasons

Uhhh... I also heard the new record breaking temparatures in SOME places for like 0.5 degrees!!!! Can you IMAGINE literally hell. Better stop using plastic straws since Europeans pollute way less than Asians/Africans right?

The whole "Distinct 4 seasons" thing is just something ingrained into their culture from a time when their idea of the size of the world was much more limited. Compared to a lot of their neighbors they experience a more distinct shift between seasons but in the scope of the rest of the world its nothing unique to Japan.

Mexico is the same.

Poland has 6 seasons so it's obviously superior to Japan

I've seen fucking chocolate tossed around a few times

To the north of Japan is Siberia where it’s always winter
To the south is Thailand where they have the monsoon season and not monsoon season.
To the west is China where they don’t have people.
People living in a land with four distinct seasons is unique from their perspective.
Hell, where I live we only have summer, fall, and spring.

shittalk all the other food you want but rice is objectively the greatest starch

I eat rice every single day but Imo potato's are more versatile and sometimes better. I don't think rice is the best out there but personally couldn't live without eating rice for a month due to me growing up on it.

Yeah but acting like it's a Glorious Nippon invention when most of the planet eats their own variations of the stuff is a bit much

pastebin.com/F0C7butq

The point is missing their homeland food in isekai which I did when visiting US because most familiar stuff was elderly/diet page at the end of menu.

well chicago's sister city is osaka so there you go

What cuisine. I'm genuinely curious.

Mushoku Tensei did it in the right way, MC feeling moved that that he finally regained rice and onions sauce in his life while others were polite but not amazed with the combination.

Any that doesn't make me pack 2/3 of diner portion to go. I also honestly don't know I order ready dinners delivered.

The one that gets me is when they pretend they're against slavery as a concept but immediately get convinced when they're told just like party members except they have no free will, fight for you, can't run away, you can own as many as you want and you can fuck them.

It's ethical slavery user

>How dare someone miss their home country's cooking

that's even worse just dropping that information and hoping they understand it, if 4 is uncommon will they even understand what the other two are?

Normal human conversation would generally follow user. You say something and either the other party will go "Ohh, I think I've heard about that" or "We have those too" or "No way? Tell me more" and then you continue the conversation. You don't generally go on monologues unprompted unless you're autistic.

Then don't say that specific map is used then retard

Yeah but what familiar stuff. I thought you were referring to a cultural thing. Which unless you were looking for a really specific or niche thing I'd be surprised you can't find in America. Though at the same time it really depends on the state.

Something that isn't 60% fat 3 people portion.

There's lots of things you can't really find in America, or at the very least are a lot rarer, even from something as close by as Canada.

This user is educated and smart.

quinoa > bulgur wheat > couscous >>> rice

That doesn't make any fucking sense. I don't see how complaining about proportion sizes has anything to do with say not being able to find ceviche in Austrailia or the actual topic of muh rice in notDragonQuest fantasy land.

Like taking your shoes off and not dragging dirt and mud everywhere like a barbarian.
Almost no crime so I don't have to be on war standby at every waking moment not to get robbed or killed.
I can keep the house's door open and not worry about being robbed/killed, same for the car or bike

>complaining about portion sizes
Well if you have to either gorge yourself to the point of bursting or take half the meal to go with yourself - that's pretty inconvenient. Actual food being on a smoll diet page of menu doesn't help choices either.

>Like taking your shoes off and not dragging dirt and mud everywhere like a barbarian.
Not him but that's not an issue in states like California or Nevada where it's dry and warm as fuck and people walk on their own 2 feet only inside buildings anyway.

>When it's dry your shoes don't get dirty
Is this dumbass logic why you burgers do this? Jesus christ.

I was just asking about the food he missed. Not this stupid fucking /int/ bullshit. Not fat jabs. Not guns. Not blacks. Not indoor shoes. Not food proportions. Just a single dish because I find food culture fascinating. You know what I give up.

>you
I was only visiting but that's an impression I get. Everything is dry and warm and nobody walks on the streets even their industries look like oversized sheds in those states because they probably don't need solid walls and central heating.

It does just in some parts.

i fucking loved banished user, im glad to see someone else who played it

Just go to somewhere over 4500 MAMSL and enjoy the snow, lack of oxygen and crippling nothingness.

Ever heard of Hookworms? America used to have that. We were taught to wear shoes because Hookworm wasn't almost completely eliminated until 1980.

Hookworm was prevalent in soil and re-infection was easy, bare feet and ankles outside were at risk from Hookworm infection.

Now when someone asks where did wearing shoes indoors come from, you can tell them it was because of Hookworms, a global menace more widespread than today.

People used to think twice about running bare feet outside when Hookworm was more prevalent.

No one's talking about wearing no shoes outside dumbass. If you wear shoes outside and then inside, or no shoes outside and then inside it makes no difference, you're tracking all that dirt back inside.

>themselves
Are you for real?

Do people in the west actually wear their shoes inside...like for long periods of time??

I live in America and where im from it always felt rude or improper to wear your shoes past someones front entry way unless you explicitly asked and especially taboo to enter their bedroom or casual areas with them on.

or is that just my area??

Clearly it doesn't happen all over, but yes, America is infamous for having it be more common than most anywhere else to wear shoes from outdoors, straight inside and not taking them off.

I think the way it works is that you take your shoes off when in your own home, but when you visit someone else's home you keep them on.

Ah, so you keep your own home clean, but fuck everyone else. That's definitely an improvement.

what is this "fall" and "spring" they speak of?

Tonight, Gehrman Sparrow joins the hunt.

Not if Pooh got anything to say about that

the real answer is through all of Japan's history it's been the country to the east of closest relevant landmass and biggest culture influence - China. So in their culture all the Japanese religions, martial art schools etc. were always called eastern.
The west for them is pretty much the rest of the world.
