Name: Oldtaku Mug
Brand: Urban Dictionary
Price: 25.00 USD
Availability: InStock

A portmanteau of the words "Old" and "Otaku": i.e. an old person that comes off as disenfranchised with Otaku culture; seemingly uninterested in current trends in anime fandom, but is still passionate about old anime because "they just don't make 'em like they used to!".

Jack: So what do you think of the Summer line-up? Anything you're looking forward to seeing?
Ben: Pfft, I'm not interested in that moé weeaboo crap. Cowboy Bebop was the greatest anime ever made! The Japanese should know that by now. Why do they even bother trying?
Jack: Oh Ben, you're such an Oldtaku.

Oldtaku

An elder otaku. The highest population of oldtaku are Gen X-ers and Millenials. These otaku were around when anime was on VHS tapes and/or during the transition from VHS to DVDs that had to be purchased in stores such as Suncoast or SamGoody. They most likely watched anime on Midnight Run and pirated anime on their windows 95. Oldtaku are not restricted to watching only vintage anime, however if you tell them you are a fan of Evangelion or Cowboy Bebop you better be talking about the originals.

Look at all those oldtaku in 90’s cosplay.

Surf Dracula Syndrome

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.

I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
