Animation Otaku

'Otaku' is someone who is obsessed with something to the point of un-healthiness by japanese definition, but by american definition, it means 'someone who likes japanese animation a LOT.' So, by japanese def, an animation otaku is someone who loves animated pictures to the point of obsession and only liking animation. By american def, one who likes anuimation, mostly jpanese in nature.

The 'animation otaku' woke up, watched cartoons all day (american or jap or whatever) then passed out after his/her sugar intake reached dangerous levels from eating candy bars, cereal, and sugar packets all day. That also means their fat and smelly. Whee!

Animation Meme

An animation meme is a trend in the animation community (Primarily on Youtube) where an animator makes an animation of a character, set to a clip from a song. The original animation is made for the purposes of being mimicked and spread, as a regular meme would. This is the distinguishing factor that separates an animation meme from a regular animated music video.

The animations vary in complexity, from simple looping dances, to narrative story driven music videos.

Hey, did you see that animation meme I sent you?

Yeah! I think I will make my own!

adult animation

A type of animation that's supposedly meant to be for adults but ends up catering toward edgy 12 year olds who think that over the top swearing beats cleverness when it comes to comedy. There are a few exceptions however, including South Park and Rick and Morty.

Me: "Hey, did you ever go see Sausage Party in theaters?"
friend: "Yeah, I remember seeing half the room filled with 12-year olds and the other half with parents who were forced to take them."
Me: "that's adult animation for yah."
