Get the Otaku Ear mug.In Japan: an otaku is someone without a social life whatsoever and is an insult of the highest regard. There is a negative stigma associated to the phrase otherwise that involves a Japanese murderer who killed women because "they didn't have smooth faces like women in anime."
In America: a badge of honor worn by fans of anime, in lieu of simply calling themselves anime fans. Overused slang that has lost its meaning to many fanboys and fangirls.

In Japan: "With the amount of pornography that man buys, it's no wonder they consider him a disgusting otaku."

Get the Otaco mug.When someone who is not an Otaku but fond of anime/manga feels the need to buy everything related to their favorite anime/manga once it goes out of print. Usually due to a fear of an extreme increase in price.
Oh shit, Bandai dropped Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, I better buy all the DVD from Amazon before their value increases. My Otaku Itch is acting up.
