Otaku Medley
You don't know what's an otaku? Let's see what Wikipedia has to say about it:
"In modern Japanese slang, the term otaku refers to an overtly obsessive fan of any one particular theme, topic, or hobby. Common uses are anime otaku (one who sometimes enjoys many days of excessive anime watching with no rest) and manga otaku (a fan of Japanese graphic novels), pasokon otaku (personal computer geeks), gēmu otaku (playing video games), and wota (before referred as "idol otaku") that are extreme fans of idols, heavily promoted singing girls."
Following the popular otaku japanese forums 4chan and nikonikodouga, probably the modern anime and game otaku is now:
- Controlling their favourite idol girl in the arcade game Idolmaster
(and get this: when it was released on the Xbox 360, The Idolmaster has been credited with making Japan's ratio of Xbox Live sign-ups to the number consoles sold the highest in the world!) - Dancing to the sequence of The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi and Lucky Star
- Watching psycho-moe animes like Higurashi no Naku Koro ni
- Still crazy over Pokemon, Digimon and Yugioh (yup, they still haven't got 'em all)
- Looking at their DVD boxsets of Madlax, Aquarion, Air, Bokurano etc.
- Playing back prequels of Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy and Rockman
- Playing doujin (amateur-made) games like the curtain shooter Touhou Project
- Watching YouTube videos made by other otakus
- Playing popular hentai games, or at least watching their intro sequences
Well, this guy does exist. If you do or are at least familiar with ANY of the activities above, or if you just wanna catch a glimpse of the otaku world, then you should watch this:
It's one guy singing all the otaku-medium songs in one remix. Pretty cool.
Otakus rock!
