the proper term for an anime addict is otaku (which means an extreme fan).. but most anime addicts are considered otaku

A Japanese word, basically the equivalent of 'loser'.
Many Western anime/manga fans use it as a positive term for themselves, even though it is in fact negative.
However, there are people who know its correct use but are proud of being one anyway; just as some people are proud to call themselves 'losers'.

Otaku is a person (typically male) who has absolutely no social life. Thus an otaku may sits around playing World of Warcraft, trading Dungeons and Dragons cards, watching Japanese animations, and jerking off while relishing pornographic material when he is alone. An otaku will be proud of, and will boast about his mighty forearm that developed over the many years of "over-masturbation".
Whilst leading a life of this sort, an Otaku will complain that no girls are willing to give him pussy.
WHYYYYY?????????????? Strange isn't it?

"Fuck, that otaku left cum stains on my sailor moon comic book!!"
"That guy's such an otaku. He plays WoW all day long and goes for a wank before sleeping."

The Anime Eletists or Anime Leet. People with years of "expirience" in anime-watching. To be an otaku, you must have at least 5 years of watching, 300 series & OAVs watched, more than half of them have to be subtitled or raw, you have to own at least 1 fansub, 1 ufo catcher doll, 1 doujinshi, 1 untranslated manga, 1 shitajiki, been to at least 1 con in full cosplay, one anime ost, knowledge of Japanese popular subcultures, a fleet of Japanese slang words, plus the ability to read katakana, hiragana, & instantly reccognize a few kanjis.
Someone who only watches dubbed anime on TV or borrows dubbs from their friends will never become Otaku.
Otakus have little to no tollerance for noobs, but will take one under their wing & teach them how to properly enjoy all Japan has to offer.
An anime fan is just a n00b, but an otaku is l33t. (noob/newbie) (leet/elite).
