Week 2: Otaku!

What is an Otaku?

Otaku is a Japanese term used to refer people with obsessive interests, particularly animemanga, or video game. Not just that! 


It can also include...




Dolfies. (really pretty ball joint dolls)

Credits from Windy @ 


Nendoroid Saturday outing
& nendoroids.




Do you know those terms?? Haha .




I am quite an otaku myself, these are my collections that i could find at home.


Dvds!

A drawerful of it !

Mangas!(was very obsessed with fruit basket when i was young)

& Some white & black loki  book 



I am proud to be an otaku (: 


You are 75% Otaku!

Well you are considered a fellow Otaku. Welcome to the family! But You aren't a leader yet so you don't get to know the Otaku pledge. Oh well you tried. Put in a little more time and you will soon be considered a friendly rival to my Otakuness. Are you getting bored of anime around this point? Well here is how to spice it up. Meet new people. Cosplay at least once a week- make it like a holiday. Whach wierd off the wall anime that no one whaches except for the people who never go outside. Experince what it is like in their life in the basement.


(you can try doing it too! :D)



There is a misconception that otakus are boring , no life people who spend 90% of their life in fantasy.
They also cut off any connection with any real human being & indulge in sketches done by manga artists.

You are wrong!
Otakus are people with great passion of japanese products!
&& the right term for that genre of people is Hikikomori.
They read manga & play videos to avoid people, so please dont mix up otaku with hikikomori. (:







And i have something to give away this week (:




Its just a small keychain with minato inside (yondaime from naruto)
Because this poor fellow has been rotting at my table corner, i think i should give it to a new owner.



So if u are interested, please leave a comment(with a name) on how otaku you are / how much you like it.
I will pick the best out of the lot ( if there is), or i may just have to keep it myself if no one wants it :/



P.S its a really small keychain only, not a full fledged nendoroid (:

  6. All the dolls (if it is the correct way to refer it as) is extremely cute!:D I bet that dolls sure would cost a bomb. Approximately, how much does it cost in general?

    Haha sure! If that person loves anime and or manga. You could be an athelete & an otaku at the same time. It is more of a quality than a genre of people.

    -marcisbored
    Yea naruto could be the most awesome anime, if not for the fillers :(

    -Fizah

    I would consider crayon shinchan or even pokemon as an anime. Sure you are more than qualified to be an otaku. Maybe just that u are concentrating on xiao xin only :D
