You'd think companies like Nintendo, Toho, Toei, Sunrise, etc. would capitalize on this somehow. Surely there is money to be made by licensing their characters to preexisting Japanese language tutorials, or something of that nature.

Japanese IPs are popular around the world for decades
Unlikely. The seriously popular franchises are for kids, so using them for adult learning materials is as likely to be off-putting to people as enticing. They're unlikely to get used for classes, which drastically reduces the exposure potential students will have to them.
Who are you quoting?
Japanese spoken in anime is different than actual real life japanese you dolt
They don't have to be adult learning materials, though.

Yeah no shit everyone here is well aware of that you fucking faggot. That has nothing to do with the OP question. kys
japanese IP's are very niche user.
>Pokemon
>niche
I'm pretty sure Godzilla was the first Japanese postwar IP to make it big overseas, and he was created 65 years ago. Japanese media is popular all over the world, even if the average normoid only knows Pikachu.
Most foreigners drop the language one month after starting it because they can't deal with it. There is nothing for IP holders since most foreign workers coming to japan are people in 30-40 year range from other parts of asia who didn't watch much anime. This could only cater to western sex tourists who don't plan on staying on japan for more than a few years. Also

get skinned alive and pissed on my aids ridden negros
>There is nothing for IP holders
Tourism bux.
>pissed on my aids ridden negros
Why would I piss on your aids ridden negros?
Targeting kids' is even less likely. Schools aren't likely to get Pokemon books, and not many kids are going to be buying Japanese textbooks at all.
>kid likes anime
>kid wants to learn Japanese
>parents buy Rosetta Stone with Pikachu/Goku/whatever on the cover
Seems pretty straightforward to me. They could even just make sponsored YouTube videos with language lessons to generate revenue.

>JAV or touhou
/jp/ is for vtubers
doubt there would be any actual money to be made
jap shit is just a trend for normalfags, they will scratch the surface, maybe pretend to be into it and then drop it when they realize it takes effort
also
>Japanese IP holders don't capitalize on this
if japs had the balls to risk something and capitalize on something they are not 100% sure about, they might have been winning early ww2 pacific edition
but they wasted every opportunity, because they didnt want to risk losing anything
well this thread wont last long enough to be derailed even more so i dont feel bad about it
Kids sufficiently into anime to want to learn Japanese are a tiny market. Those young enough to still be into Pokemon will be close to zero.
Japan doesn't want to handle Americans. And for good reason, many Americans roleplay as their presidents for shits and giggles on the internet
Vtubers are just the sfw version of camwhores, and most would consider japanese camwhores to be a subset of JAV. Therefore, vtubers are pretty much JAV.
>learn Japanese
Many such cases!
/jp/ is for both, but im sick of the 2hu stuff. i just feel it as childish spam, and i like 2hu
>she sees your dick
Yeah I know my post sounds like a shitpost but there's no way to put it. Its just on a bigger scale, why would anyone want to be with someone who just insults them and degrades them? That with Japan and America
Kids rarely want to do anything educational unless their parents force them. How many kids would learn a musical instrument if their parents didn't make them? A lot of parents want their kids to learn foreign languages now.
Why bring the foreigners to Japan to ruin cultural integrity when you can reap the goods from the decadent west?
We kinda forced Japan to be our ally if that's what you're getting at.
I'm talking about Americans trying to ruin JP careers. The most recent is antis trying to demonize vtubers
Foreigners already want to come to Japan because muh anime. You might as well help them learn a little Japanese so they won't be complete tards when they arrive.
This seems like a very niche concern. I don't think most people want to learn Japanese just so they can post hate comments to vtubers.
elevens can't into language learning or teaching anyone else their language for that matter
that's unironically what vtubers are for
pikamee is a fucking texan
But anime is a fad.
Full immersion is probably the best way to learn Japanese if you had all the time in the world, but even then, you need some sort of frame of reference.
Anime started in 1964.

Don't care about your gay thread but the /jp/ moderation policy is the worst and it's all moot's fault.
fuck moot
fuck jannies
fuck trannies
and fuck niggers
Based and /jp/ should be a board for discussion of Japan/Japanese stuff that's not covered by any other board like Zig Forums or /m/.
