The question is pretty complicated because it relates to ideologies of Japan and what people are experiencing as they grow up. I feel kind of uncomfortable saying that I like or dislike people because of that. A somewhat extreme example: human rights in Nigeria are appalling, so people brought up there soak up those values; I wouldn't say that I dislike Nigerian people by default because of that. I suppose the issue I have with the question having the implication of tying culture and heritage directly to individuals.

That being said, I don't have any Japanese friends, I can't speak Japanese competently and I have never been to Japan, though I imagine this is true for most people in the thread. Anything I see from Japan is second hand, so largely entertainment media and news coverage, so not exactly extremely reliable. An issue I imagine a lot of Westerners would take with Japan is to do with how harsh the law is on recreational drug use, cannabis being the main offender. Imprisonment/deporture for that is obscene. Some quick research also found that the antidepressant I take (which has been extremely helpful and without the side-effects I got from fluoxetine) has only been approved for use in Japan since 2011 despite being approved since 2002 in the US, so I would be kind of worried about medicine in general in Japan.

I also love gaymers.

My experience with Japanese people are kind of polarised and you may find it hard to believe. I'll say it anyway since imo one learns more from analysing negative comments rather than compliments.

A huge number of Japanese students I met in Australia dislikes social interactions with people of other Asian cultures; some are so extreme that they even refuse to talk to other Asians in the same class. I don't know if that can be called "conservative" anymore but it's not quite racist (except a few extreme examples).

Having said that, I know a small number of Japanese people who really enjoys mingling with everyone and they're great friends too. So it's like seeing two extremes with nothing in the middle...

EDIT: Forgot to add that through my observation, Japanese people are generally very polite towards white people (some to the extend of showing fear). So if you're of Caucasian appearance then chances are you'll never encounter any "rude" Japanese lol

it seems a lot of white men have been misbehaving in japan, thinking that it's okay as long as it isn't their own country or something like that. hence "whiteu piggu".
that's kind of sad, though.

I think of these Japanese people that they're polite, responsible, friendly, hospitable and creative even they can be easily embarrassed.

Therefore, I love their personality even being perverted at the dark side. XD

I understood that Japanese people is so awesome. Especially, waxman and Bluoxy. By the way, I'm afraid of what Japanese people can't write and pronounce exactly. As you can see, I suck at English. We have no communication to talk to foreigners. So I would like to ask you about Japanese English skill. No one talks about that (´・ω・`). Perhaps, it is what I really want to hear foreigners discuss it.

I had an Japanese exchange student staying over at my house for 3 nights during 2011
It was fun and nice taking him around
He was very polite and a lot of simple things seem to amaze him in our country @.@ (I guess this applies to any person travelling to a foreign country)
I still remember him panicking over a house fly that might be just a little bigger than average over here

I was realised by how he was so good at bargaining for prices even though he doesn't speak English/Malay/Chinese ^^"

I also have a few notable Japanese friends on osu! who can speak very good English

On another note: Some Japanese people actually do have a bias against foreigners
actually i take that back because I sometimes catch myself judging based on someone's race/nationality
Like how I find it difficult and fustrating to deal with Indian customers
But certainly I am not implying that all Indian people.
It applies to a lot of human beings @.@

i'll gonna emphasis on that bolded text, yup some Japanese people are a bit xenophobic. Even there are many Ethnic minorities in the country,i dont really know what's really goin on there. more info on this:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_issues_in_Japan

Yeah, they're like that and I think its because of their English skills and their accents.

Wow, I feel flattered >///<....thank you!!

Back to the topic, My impression about Japanese here in game that I know are...frankly, feel pretty much just like any Japanese anime-obsessed players from anywhere else. (but definitely have more intelligence, more rational than your average Taiwanese in some way for sure) Don't know about them in real life though.

Kawaii, and pretty shy and fragile. My friend Yui (she's an exchange student) usually doesn't talk much, but it's cause she's pretty quiet and doesn't really know English much. I also find the Japanese to be extremely polite.

they make good sushi

they suck at web design though

you might think that japan is the "technological center" of the world but it's mostly stuck in the 90s.

Judging the entire population because according to that study, older people prefer not being online is a pretty harsh generalization isn't it?

On topic: Of the people I personally have talked to I doubt there's much of a difference in human behavior compared to the average otaku in any other modern country. I don't see how that would come as a surprise either, They are the same as you but with a different history.

If we're talking about waxman Idk, I haven't really gotten to know him!

this. If they have a nice web design, it's likely they hire a gaijin (Few of my friends work at Pixiv as webdesign), of course no harsh generalization :D

They make nice AV, also have sexy legs
Don't forget awesome music.

Their censorship policy is fucking stupid though, what's the point of censoring when you still can fap at it? What's the point adding so many black bars in comics? What the fuck?

They are pretty cool people when you play MMOs with them, unless you delay them off in a party, and make them piss off at you, but other than that, they are quite nice senpais :3

Japanese people in general seem very polite, abiding by the rules and ready to help.

There's a huge difference with western people though : I feel that Japanese people try to not be noticed, be loud, or stick out in general, when westerners like to stand out and show off if they can.

I also feel like there's always a bit of xenophobia from Japan. It looks like a very welcoming country to visit, but I feel that you can't ever integrate the society because you are not born Japanese. It also explains why no Japanese players ever come to English speaking channels, waxman obviously being the exception :p

It's very different from the western culture. I hang out on English channels and communities and it's not even my first language, and I don't even share the same culture, yet I feel like I am a part of the community, and I definitely didn't feel like a stranger when I went to the US.

Although the language barrier is hard to overcome, I wish more Japanese people would talk with us in English channels.

I agree with this.

I find Japanese people to be polite and respectful, and also hard working. Sometimes in 'Straya I find people, esp. teens can be very obnoxious, with drinking playing load music late at night, and I think 'this wouldn't be happening in Japan'.

I also like how they have and preserve their unique culture. Though on the other hand, they do seem somewhat xenophobic, insular and ignorant of foreigners and other cultures. For example the 'no gaijin' signs on some shops there, and some landlords not allowing and foreigners to rent their units. While this can be understandable to some degree, because there are some ignorant gaijin a**holes in Japan taking advantage of Japanese kindness while wilfully not bothering to follow their customs, generalising and stereotyping is never the right thing to do.

I was just looking through this thread and I wanted to ask you guys if you actually had enough experience with Japanese people to actually formulate an opinion on them. My bet is that most of you did not, because what I've seen so far are stereotypes, really. And anime doesn't count, of course.

One of my roommates went to japan. He said, in general, they're conservative and don't talk to strangers. Also there's a lot of xenophobia but that's mostly the older generation. Also apparently restaurant service is fantastic even though they don't accept tips.

Oh, and if you don't speak Japanese, you're going to have a bad time unless you're in a tourist-heavy area. And even if you do speak Japanese many people will shy away from you cuz you're a foreigner.
