You say all Otaku's are talking about their fantasy's... Well what are yours?

I'm not an Otaku and I don't have such fantasies. :redface2:

Didn't someone make some funny video of someone humping an anime girl character-shaped pillow (in two-frame loop animation), followed by footage of Densha Otoko?

:rofl:

this is the reason why I get fed up talking to Otakus, all they can talk about is their fucking fantasy. :redface2:

You're always so full of hate and disdain. Seek therapy.

You know Otaku doesnt mean only anime fans, its a word to describe someone who has some kind of obsession or likes a certain thing very much...

Im sure there is something for you...:thumbs:

Kamen Rider Armor Ninja speaks the truth!!!

I'm very much into most Japanese stuff such as Anime, Tokusatsu, Sushi, etc, but I don't like to think of myself as an Otaku or a Weeaboo, I just like to think of myself as a British person who just happens to be very much into a lot of Japanese stuff.

Guys you do know that in Japan, and probably in Malaysia too where Jacky is from(she's going to have to tell us if I'm right or not about the meaning where she is), being an otaku is not a good thing. It's branded on on people who are a little tooo into something, such as the guy in the article. So in this instance she's right.

 

[Kamen Rider Armor Ninja]

Yeah and aparently she loves J-music, which makes her quite an otaku her self she is into something what others in her country probably dont...

:sayin:

 

[scikaiju]

Being into something the rest of your country isn't doesn't make you an otaku. Being into something that you become obsessed or delusional, like the gentleman in the article, makes you an otaku. Just because this part of the world twisted the meaning doesn't make it a good thing.

Thank you! Someone knows what they're talking about. Americans and other non-Japanese put limits on the most universal Japanese words.

Otaku applies to anything, especially tokusatsu as well. And "otaku" is the last thing you want to be called in Japan (it also means nerd, geek, dork, square, and even "freak."). It's a derogatory, even condescending term in Japan to describe hardcore fans of something (pick your hobby), whereas Americans look at the term as something to be proud of (and limit it strictly to anime).

Just like how the American MSM covers big sci-fi/fantasy/comic-book conventions, and they only approach and take pictures of the costumed people, and make sarcastic and condescending comments about them, saying that all people at the con (and I mean ALL attendees) are no-life losers who dress up in silly costumes, and they don't pay attention to any of the casual fans!
