I am an otaku.
Ask me anything.
>>39261406
whats your favorite animu
and do you speak nihongo
Nan desu ka? Originaru
Are you cute? That's what I'm asking you.
>>39261406
wow, welcome to the club. We're all otakus, you fucking moron. Unless you're one of those people that things watching anime means you're an otaku
I love thinking about great anime I've seen in the past and resent the thought of watching another anime ever.
Is this what it means to be old?
>>39261438
Personal favourite of mine is Gurren Lagann.
The only Japanese I know if what I picked up from anime.
>>39261444
Ore wa Anon desu~
>>39261456
I am to a degree.
>>39261406
Yes, disgracefully so and completely detached from reality and deranged and it keeps getting better every day
>>39261560
i haven't watched gurren lagann, but i often see people recommending it, is it a good show? what do you like about it?
So you're a weeaboo then?
>>39261706
It's an amazing production.
Music, animation, designs and voice acting are all fucking great.
The progression of power is nice, most people will tell you that.
I really like the main character and how he develops.
Overall the story can be enjoyed as a stupid action show but it's got some interesting ideas and stuff that you'd notice on a rewatch when you're not so focused on all the awesomeness.
Also Nia is literally perfect and I love her.

No.
>>39261870
>no
define "otaku" then
>>39261889
As it's used in the west, someone who really enjoys Japanese media like anime/manga and spends a lot of time consuming it.
Define "weeaboo".
>>39261950
no, you fucking moron. That's your romanticized definition. An otaku is someone who spends so much time invested in a hobby or interest, that they start to become isolated. It doesn't matter what culture it is.
A weeaboo would be someone who spends all their time consuming Japanese media
>>39261870
oh i see, sounds interesting
the style and designs do look pretty damn cool, i agree on that, maybe i'll give it a go when i'm in the mood for some animes, thanks!
>>39261994
That's not my definition, it's as I said how it's used by Westeners.
It applying to any hobby and implying isolation is it's original meaning.
>A weeaboo would be someone who spends all their time consuming Japanese media
That's not what that word means.
"A non japanese person who basically denounces their own culture and calls themselves japanese. They try to learn japanese through the anime they watch and usually end up pronouncing it wrong and looking like a complete idiot.
KEEP IN MIND: that a non-japanese person can like the culture, watch anime, speak the language and RESPECT THE CULTURE, while still keeping in touch with there own. Which keeps them from being a Weeaboo, japanophile, ect."

Hope you'll enjoy.
