What is an Otaku?
Otaku, it's a word that has gone international. But it wasn't always a good word, in fact it has spent most of its short life as a perjorative, a word you never wanted to be called. Or...did you?
We go over the history of the meaning of "otaku," from its stereotypes, to murder, to counter-culture, to what we now mean. What does it mean to be an otaku? Who is an otaku? Am I an otaku?
