Have you ever heard of a word ‘otaku’?
Literally ‘otaku’
is a Japanese term for people with obsessive interest, commonly the anime and ‘manga’ fandom.
In modern Japanese slang, the term ‘otaku’ is mostly equivalent to “geek” or “nerd”. When these people are referred to as ‘otaku’, they are judged for their behaviors and people suddenly see
an ‘otaku’ as a person unable to relate to reality.
In Japan the word ‘otaku’ has become taboo
because of Miyazaki Tsutomu who went
on a toddler murdering
spree
in the 80’s, videotaping the young girls he had murdered from an obsession with
‘lolicon’(female pedophilic manga)
Differently in the western country, they use this
term to call themselves ‘fanboys’ or ‘fangirls’ with almost no knowledge of
the horrific
roots behind the word.

| Anime Nerd |
Now days, the word ‘otaku’ has multiple meaning. Casual anime fans use this word in the
context of being a well established fan who know much about anime and ’manga’. Japanese see this term as derogatory
which represents a person who is a lifeless nerd.
Most of the ‘otaku’
actually has Schizoid Personality Disorder. When they usually:
Don't want to get close to people.
Like it best when you're alone.
Don't have much, in any interest in sexual experiences.
Don't react much at all to criticism or complements.
Appear emotionless.
Paranoia
They also have ‘chunibyo
diseases’ which they cannot tell the different
between reality and fantasy. They usually imagine they had some-sort of supernatural
power when they had to defect the evil and bring
the peace to the
world. This diseases is actually affected because they watched too many
supernatural anime or ’manga’.
