Why "Otaku"?
Why do some anime fans call themselves otaku? It's a word with an extremely negative connotations. It'd literally be like Japanese people who like American TV calling themselves "losers". I personally love anime, but I don't let it control my life and I'd certainly never label myself like that. What's the rationale?

2 RepliesThe definition is split into two. There's western otakus and eastern otakus. Western otakus just really like anime. Eastern otakus however are where the negative connotations lie. Having said that I really like anime yet I wouldn't consider myself an otaku. In my opinion it is still a negative term. Hope this helped.
