Ever watch an anime set in a Japanese high school and think, "it shoulda been me"? Well, you're in luck. A company in Japan is inviting tourists to attend an abandoned campus in Chiba and live out an authentic Showa high school experience.

I'll go a step further, gulag the attendees, reeducation

funniscrem.bsky.social•53 days ago

They should be forced to live there for 4 years with no contact to the outside world, I wanna see what happens

mecha-bunny.bsky.social•53 days ago

On the way to the school you get hit by a kei-truck, blindfolded, and dropped off at a LARP in the woods.

patrikharnes.bsky.social•53 days ago

Frankly, anyone who wants to enter any high-school they are not legally obligated to enter, is immediately suspect in my eyes.

muzzleblast.bsky.social•53 days ago

Wow. This might be the damndest thing I have seen so far today

stochasticooze.bsky.social•53 days ago

Why don't these people just play Persona like the rest of us

suckonda4evr.bsky.social•53 days ago

I say we give them the full experience and send them to one of those anime high schools where they have to fight yokai to the death.

Mr. Beast has done it again

scratchbomb.bsky.social•53 days ago

this could supply content for about 9000 seasons of To Catch a Predator

theturtleman.bsky.social•53 days ago

if the rehabilitation happens in japan and comes with health care i can pretend to be an aniboo or whatever for a couple years

If you have regular nosebleeds you have to sign a waiver, they do not insure against pulmonary embolism

walterpeck1.bsky.social•53 days ago

I have an idea

archivedspork.bsky.social•53 days ago

That was my first thought

bscherzer.bsky.social•53 days ago

I’ll never quite get adults who want to re-live high school in any context. (And my high school experience was great!)

STRAIGHT TO THE FORCEFEM BASEMENT

trigonabee.bsky.social•53 days ago

The solution can't be forcefem *every* time. Save a little for later.

jazzguineapig.bsky.social•53 days ago

forcefem em all and let God sort them out

trigonabee.bsky.social•53 days ago

Oh most definitely! But immediately?? Let's tease it sometimes.

lordbenne.bsky.social•53 days ago

This is even funnier if you know anything about the Japanese education system and the insane demands it puts on kids.

airbudddwyer.bsky.social•53 days ago

they're all instantly banned from trying to become English teachers anywhere in Asian

jasonpaul.bsky.social•53 days ago

We have lots of drones.

alopex-ii.bsky.social•53 days ago

It’s the “abandoned” part that’s really suggesting this turns into Battle Royale as soon as everyone’s inside

irontuna.bsky.social•53 days ago

One can only hope

secondskeleton.bsky.social•53 days ago

Yeah this screams battle royale to me

bensdecoy.bsky.social•53 days ago

Unless this is going to be REALLY screwed up and supply you with a childhood friend who doesn’t like you or anything baka, or some other kind of love interest with a crazy melodramatic backstory (all for a nominal fee) then I don’t really see the point.

haileyisheretostay.bsky.social•53 days ago

Is it bad that I know at least two people who would sign up for this?

teflonslinky.bsky.social•53 days ago

An authentic showa era high school experience should probably involve being firebombed and joining the army to commit war crimes across asia and die from dysentery.

With that in mind good luck to them.

humidbeing.bsky.social•53 days ago

anyone who signs up automatically gets put on a special fbi watch list

mcchef.bsky.social•53 days ago

I guess it’s kinda comparable to dude ranches? Not sure how popular those are with Japanese tourists though haha

realsayyadina.bsky.social•53 days ago

I'm a massive anime nerd and even I think this is creepy/weird/disturbing.

kencf0618.bsky.social•53 days ago

Just as well I didn’t peak in high school.

iroiro.zone•53 days ago

I’ll do it but only if I get to be a yanki

hayao.lol•53 days ago

WEEB TRAP, coming this fall to Crunchyroll

bizarroland.bsky.social•53 days ago

NGL I would totally watch that

mfgink.bsky.social•53 days ago

100% would watch

karlrolson.com•53 days ago

They would never do anything that fun any more, but if they were still a Warner subsidiary, maybe.

To Catch A Predator: Weeb Edition

glossariez.bsky.social•53 days ago

I love anime as much as the next person, but wut did I just stumbled upon

osullyville.bsky.social•53 days ago

Something I remember thinking walking through certain neighborhoods in Tokyo was that if I see another Westerner, it is a problem.

kokorozek.satan.social•53 days ago

Imagine the smell

elwoodan.bsky.social•53 days ago

I would 100% take a job here as the weirdly old looking pompadour delinquent guy who gets to bully these nerds, seems like a fun gig.

kentbrockman.bsky.social•53 days ago

definitely the gaishan

patomicbomb.bsky.social•53 days ago

Japan’s To Catch a Predator

mrpothead.bsky.social•53 days ago

Is Chris Hansen hosting this?

holyshitimfucked.com•53 days ago

I am safe unless they announce that they are doing a reenactment of the video for the Stance Punks "No Boy, No Cry" from the opening of Naruto season 6, in which case I will be arrested at the airport dressed as a Japanese punk scene extra.

roshinotabi.bsky.social•53 days ago

If one of my friends did this I'd probably have to block them and pretend we never met
