| While browsing the thread that people were reporting the cookie issue, i also noticed people were stating their country. I saw no Japanese users (or they don't have cookie issues), how popular is MAL in japan anyway? there might be other sites that have anime lists but do most Japanese people use MAL at all? |

| This is an english speaking site. In Japan, they speak Japanese. So to answer your question, I'm betting very little native Japanese have accounts. |

| Not as popular as Godzilla, I tell you that. |

ParaParaJMo said: the japanese could be extinct in 4 to 5 generations From what we learnt in geography class, the current age structure of Japan is that 1 out of 4 people are over the age of 65 and that the TFR is below 1.4 so yeh. 4-5 would seem right. |

That population thing always confused me. How is the problem of old people boom going to somehow destroy Japan? All they gotta do is just proceed life as usual until the aging population dies out, then it'll balance itself, assuming the birth rate stays the same (even if it's insanely low). That whole attempt to pump out more babies just sounds like it's gonna make an even bigger problem when all those babies turn old in turn. /derailthread |

The birth rate must be 2.1 or above to sustain the population. The low TFR was supposedly the result of woman 1. focusing more on their career rather than starting a family and 2. marrying at a late age such as 35+ which reduces the chance of fertility. Anyways, the Japanese government implemented some 'angel plan' which gave woman cash incentives and allowed easier return to workforce and stuff like that in an attempt to revive birth rates. Yeh all that really didn't go accordingly to plan. :\ |

The problem they face has nothing to do with any natural problem, it's simply a financial problem based on the current way the system works. Simply put when you have too much old people compared to the other population you will have a problem paying there pensions since the money are being taken from the taxes you put on the salaries of the working force. |

Your actually wrong sure Japan faces a financial problem but the true problem they face is that when Godzilla returns. This may actually lead into the end of the world talk that has been going on. |

| Well it would be like asking how many english users use a japanese based site, assuming this was in a vice versa situation. I would have to say very minimal. ParaParaJMo said: well, the lower birthrate is really hurting in some smaller cities outside of tokyo. the japanese could be extinct in 4 to 5 generations What i found when i used to to french class was that the europeans face a similar but less significant issue with that. The french responce is to place family or maternal benefits that increase with higher family birth rates. Also you would need to consider the fact that japan has 1/3 of the US population in a country the collective size of Oregon and land is scarce for that reason. Urbanization in the US makes a large part o the US virtually uninhabited( but not necessarily undeveloeped). While this may sound rather immoral (im sorry ;_;) but when the older demographics die off, the younger demographics wont need to place resources to support the unproductive elderly and it could result in generally higher birth rates when the distribution shifts. |

Just cuz i wanna learn japanese ~.~ Are we going to have to fight over the definition of weeaboo? Red_Keys said: This is an english speaking site. In Japan, they speak Japanese. So to answer your question, I'm betting very little native Japanese have accounts. Do you know just how many non-native English speakers are on English websites? I can't even hold all these Scandinavians and slavs, practically everyone in Brazil and their mom speaks English, and we got plenty of other people from Europe and South/Central-America who speak English. I know there's plenty of English speaking Japanese on the english web, just not that much comparatively. SSJgoku91 said: Most Japanese don't speak English, and I'm betting that otaku are even less likely to be able to. I though it would be the opposite. I'm sure there's some English otaku/westaboo's over there. |
| They see anime different from us. Maybe a little more casual. Also, forums are not for everyone. |

| Your actually wrong sure Japan faces a financial problem but the true problem they face is that when Godzilla returns. This may actually lead into the end of the world talk that has been going on. i actually almost passed out from laughter from this possibility. |
 |
| So basically what I'm gathering from this topic is Japan's biggest problems right now is a low birth rate and the possibility of Godzilla attacking them while their at their weakest? |

| Thank you for creating this post, because I was also interested in knowing what is popular today in Japan, since there are usually new fashions all the time |
