Someone (such as me) who has an extreme love and obsession with Anime, Manga, Japanese Video Games, Cosplay and anything that has to do with Anime in general.
As you may notice most people define Otaku as someone who has nothing else better to do with their life but sit at home and watch/do the things I have listed above. Which is NOT true. We Otaku have many things to do, wether it's watching Anime or stressing over if our Cosplay is going to get here in time for the next Convention/Expo, I can assure you it is over infinity times better than what most of the people that say those things do. Which is most likely sitting at home eating them selves to death because they wish they had something to do.
And to note that in a previous definition of Otaku, that person said that the word "taku" means home and that that links to THEIR so-called definition. If you know Japanese at all you would know that Otaku (おたく) means "Geek" or "Nerd", which clearly shows our (being us otaku) love for Anime, Manga, Cosplay, etc.
I made this to show my love for Anime and to stand up for the TRUE MEANING OF OTAKU!!!!!!! >:O

In literal, it means "house"
Otaku is a Japanese name or title for people who are obsessed on anime, manga, drama CDs, etc.
It is also a word for obsession of anything (e.g. car, toys, transportation)
Although the people who are entitled to this didn't mind or being welcomed by the people or the society outside of Japan, this name is an insult or a taboo in Japan. Primarily because of their behavior and their lifestyle. The main issue is the "Otaku Murder Case" in the 1980s, where the case is that a man killed more than 5 girls because they are look like of this idols.
Otaku may or may not related to Weeabo.

An over excited geek that thinks they can speak Japanese just because they're anime fans. These specimen are also found at Anime Conventions dressing up as their favorite character, usually making asses out of themselfs while they pose for a picture.
Sure signs that you might be an Otaku;
1. You memorized every single anime song that you've heard.
2. When you turn down a college because they don't have a decent anime club.
3. If you start daydreaming that your girlfriend or boyfriend is an anime character.
4. You've seen one anime over 100 times.
5. You start wearing Sailor Moon underwear.
Please, stop the madness.

In Japan, the term OTAKU is normally deragatory, meant as an insult. It basically means 'lifeless loser who never leaves their house'.
In America and Canada, though, it is used to refer to anime/manga fans and sometimes video gamers. It is used to refer to somebody as a geek, opposed to a loser, and is not a deragatory meaning.
So it is important that if you go to Japan that you do not use the word without clearly stating what you mean.

A term that is miss-used by both the Japanese and other countries.
In Japanese its the honorific of home. meaning the person is a shut-in. They also refer to a community that visit certain places such as akihabara, Tokyo train station, ect. Otaku in America and other places is a term to describe fanatic fans of a certain thing ,mostly anime. In japan there are also other types of otaku such as train otaku "IE train station", Bridge otaku, anime otaku, music otaku, ect...
In America people think that it is being used wrong, but in actuality its just being used in the alternative term.
In japan the term is sometimes refereed to as something really bad. But their is a growing population that take the name otaku with pride. Demonstrations are being held. ect ect...
