Otaku

What does otaku means? Although in English or internationally otaku means anime or manga fan, it could actually mean a person who has obsession or interest to any certain topic or hobby.

For example, even a person who has the obsession in everything about military is actually an otaku too. So yes, maybe otaku refers to geek or nerd in English.

There are types of otaku:



-Anime otaku
-Manga otaku
-Pasokon (computer) otaku
-Gēmu (game) otaku
-Tetsudō otaku (metrophile)
- Gunji (military) otaku
-Etc.

So it doesn’t have to be anime-related topic.

But yes, otaku may have a negative meaning, especially when it’s said by non-otaku people. But somehow the otaku are rather proud calling them as otaku.

Well, I myself think it’s everybody’s choice what topic he will obsessed with.

But it would be different if that makes you isolated from the society.

So if you are anime otaku, I think it’s not so bad if you’re obsessed with anime. But please go out and play too. Keep communicating with the others!

It’s sunny outside. So, what are you doing sitting in front of the monitor?! Go out and play!
