Animals”, and Mimi Ito (Ito 2005) explains “Anime otaku are media connoisseurs, activist prosumers who seek out esoteric content from a far away land and organize their social lives around viewing, interpreting, and remixing these media works.”
What is Otaku?
One of the articles entitled "OTAKU--- The Living Force of the Social Media Network" written on September 12, 2009 written by Biljana Kochoska Taneska, it says here that:
"The word comes from Japanese and its denotative meaning is your house" (Eng 2001) but the primal use is as honorific second person personal pronoun. On the other hand, having in mind that Japanese have a dozen of words for this purpose -- addressing someone as "you" -- the subject becomes even more complex. Addressing itself depends on the social position of the person who is addressing in a relation to the social position of the one who is addressed. So, it turns out there are different words for a social equal or a superior, inferiors and sometimes equals, intimate friends and inferiors. Otaku is a polite way to address someone whose social position in relation to you is not yet known. It keeps he distance. Used between equals it sounds quite ironic or sarcastic but is meant to be used in the sence of "Stay away from me."
On this article, it says that Otaku means ""home". So, some of you are maybe thinking what's the connection of home in being obsess to anime. Well let me explain it to you, based on the article, if a person is to much obsess to anime what will going to happen is, that person will be tired of going out of his/her house because she/he likes to watch anime than to go out and hang out with her/his friends. Sometimes, Otaku chooses to be alone and watch anime and read mangas. Mostly, Otaku are those not sociable with others.
Otaku they are the kind of person who have an overwhelming live to anime. Otaku's everywhere, swear. We're not sure maybe you yourself is an Otaku.
