Home of Otakus

What is meaning of Otaku? Otaku is the honorific word of Taku which means Home.....The term otaku is used in the Japanese environment to refer to someone who is an extremely obsessive fan of something. It is a person that is devoted to something - anime, manga, movies, music, computer gadgets, computer games, and other fields of interest. Literally, it means "your home" or "you" in formal terms.Some people say that otakus are people who have no social life, no love life etc. well I guess its true, that's why the ANIME was invented. Usually an otaku person has nothing better to do with their life so they pass the time by watching anime, playing videogames, surfing the internet. Otaku's is also a nerd/hacker and programmer. So basically we are a total loser who can't socialize with other people except through the Internet. But that is not a bad thing. Is it? I dont know but being an otaku can be either a positive or a negative force in a person’ life. But what’s the difference between a good otaku and a bad otaku?. First lets start the positive side of being and Otaku, a good otaku shares enjoyment and information with the people around him, so that everyone can feel happy. A bad otaku forces his/her tastes on others, picks fights with people who have a different way of looking at things than he/she does, and makes the people around him/her feel uncomfortable.So if you are an otaku be a good otaku. That's all for today. A little tip for you just be yourself if you want to become one of us so be it, but dont force yourself to do it.
