Haven't watched the others in years.[/quote] Its not a bad thing to be a Otaku. But a closet Otaku is someone that hides his love for anime.[/quote] Actually an Otaku is a Japanese slang term used to describe someone who has obsessive interests in specialized subcultures and hobbies, particularly in regard to anime, manga, pop idols and video games. With the international success of Japanese cultural imports, the term has gained recognition among manga/anime/j-pop fans overseas. In English, it is usually used to refer to an obsessive fan of anime/manga and/or Japanese culture generally, and to a lesser extent Japanese video games. Haven't you heard of military otaku? There are so many in America. [Edited on 01.07.2013 9:45 PM PST]
