  >Can you suggest somewhere to start?

  Watch movies. These are usually short and sharp. As you are new to the scene, try not to pigeon-hole yourself yet.

  Anyhow there's:
  Nausicaä by studio Ghibli
  Paprika by director Satoshi Kon
  Summer Wars by director Mamoru Hosoda
  Totoro by studio Ghibli

  Alternativelyt google " standalone anime movie " and check those out.

  Nothing new, trying to find time for the last cour of Gintama, but I'm putting that off even as I type. There's a new Aria movie in December I think, so I'll watch that.

  I lost my motivation to watch Jahy for 23 minutes at a time so I'm just gonna keep reading it. It's better in smaller doses anyway. The funniest part to me is that the creator made the smug loli and main fanservice girl the same person.

  I don't think Japan-obsessed creeps will stay that way if they manage to get permanent residency. It took 7 years for this guy. Probably the foreign paradise wonder would wear off by then.

  There's no need to concern troll. If the Japanese are overly permissive and can't get their shit together, then they deserve it but I doubt it.

  Japan is a horrible place to live. It’s best that you just vacation there and get out with great memories.

  My quick guide to forwarders/proxy services:

  - Tenso is reliable, but a bit expensive for forwarding. For some retailers you may experience phone number or address blacklisting. Buyee (affiliated with Tenso) is great for auction sites, e.g. Yahoo Auctions, Mercari.
  - BigInJapan is dirt cheap and offers barebones forwarding, but if anything goes wrong you will not be able to reach someone for support. To my recollection it's also forced EMS, which is a problem right now. Avoid for proxy service.
  - Goody-Japan is my longtime go-to for proxy service. They aren't the cheapest, probably something of a middle ground, but they are quick on support and are willing to keep packages in their warehouse for longer so you can consolidate on international shipping. They've also added pretty good auction site support.
