Otaku Zone

Otaku Zone is a forum based website to discuss anime and manga. In which a user can sign up for free and create an 'avatar'.

You can dress the person, give the accessories etc.
The whole idea of Otaku Zone is that people from other countries can discuss their love of manga.

It's highest user rate is from Eastern countries, and it is an English website.
A user on there would be called an 'Otaku'

otaku

1: Another version of the word "you" in Japanese (which includes anata, omae, kimi, and so on) this word when used by someone, connotes that that person would like to stress the boundaries between your relationship. You are only to be acquaintances and not friends.
2: A new slang term, rooting from the first definition, referring to fanatical or obsessed people, usually known to be withdrawn in many cases.

Otaku

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

Otaku

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.
Western Otaku: My friends and I are having a sleepover, talking about what anime we should watch next or how great Levi is.

Nipp-otaku

ニッポタク (nee-potaku)
This word describes a Westerner who is socially inept in (and sanctimoniously disdainful of) his own culture (most of them are male), and decides to go to Japan, hoping that his status as a foreigner will make him friends there. Most normal Japanese avoid interaction with nippo-taku, but there are many foreigner-loving Japanese who will encourage more nipp-otaku to make the jump across the sea.

Nipp-otaku usually marry a moderately attractive Japanese woman, and then do so much more than "go native." They refuse to acknowledge other foreigners when in Japan--instead, they regard any foreigners' lack of understanding of Japanese culture as a negative judgment upon them. Nipp-otaku insist on wearing traditional Japanese garb, even when no other Japanese are doing so, and often insist that their wives treat them like samurai. The basic nipp-otaku attitude attempts to show Japanese people how to be Japanese.

Imagine Sean Connery's character in "Rising Sun"--minus every ounce of coolness. Nipp-otaku don't merely assimilate into Japanese society. They insist on attempting to be Japanese to foreigners, while knowing deep within that the Japanese will always see them as foreigners. This creates considerable self-loathing, and becomes evident in their generally passive aggressive way of dealing with the world around them.

Jack: What? you mean that nerdy douche that always walked around looking like he smelled something rotten?
Jim: That's the one. He moved to Japan, and uhh, looks like he's trying to become Japanese.
Jack: lolz--nipp-otaku!

2) I've lived in Japan for over a year, and I can definitely say that the worst thing about living in Japan is the stigma on foreigners resulting from the nipp-otaku.

3) I'm a total Japanophile. I love all things Japanese, but I am happy with my own identity, and I hate it when people call me a nipp-otaku.

Otaku

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.
