If you have done in this article, you are probably wondering what an "otaku" is, or you already know and want to know something more about the origins of "otaku". In both cases, you have certainly done a good starting point for your information.
The "otaku" word was (and still is) used in a way to say "another house" in Japanese, but has recently taken a different turn, which changes its meaning, "nerd" or a "nerd" when used to describe a person. Although it can be applied to almost anyone who has a strong interest in a particular hobby (say a person who really loves to collect rocks and, in practice, the collection is dedicated to the shrine in their house), the "Otaku" is generally applied that are deeply rooted in the souls and manga culture. This is particularly true outside of Japan where the borders of "otaku" is usually only known person who loves anime and manga.
The difference between how the Japanese use the term "otaku" and how other people use the word captures only part of the image itself. Comparing the two customs, the use of Japanese "otaku" has a more negative connotation than, say, an American use of the word. It is because of the stories associated with specific otaku in Japan, where adverse events and / or the tragedies were attributed to the interest of the person in the anime or manga. This has resulted in Japanese society frown of something related to anime or manga at various points in the last decades.
On the other hand, is to be an otaku outside Japan looking for something different. If you are an otaku in another country, so the term "otaku" do not have much of a stigma attached to it because the people around you do not know the specific stories associated with the word "otaku" as does in his native Japan. For this reason, it is generally a term used in the fandom to refer to himself or those like them (where "otaku" is still commonly used when the person looks out each season Anime, read manga that each chapter is released, collects figurines, buy CDs of their favorite anime series, and posters of various anime and manga characters). Even then, there is a gap as to whether a fan in another country would brand themselves as "otaku". This is because the anime and manga fans who are aware of the negative connotation of "otaku" in Japan is wary of labeling themselves as such.
Even with the ocean that separates them from Japan, there are many fans who do not want others to believe they are connected with those who have committed crimes, and just happened to have an interest in the anime and manga.
Regardless of some negative connotations of the word, there are still a number of fans of anime and manga who proudly call themselves "otaku" (at least outside of Japan). They are not afraid to speak to the public on the last episode of Bleach or Naruto, who has come out, or to ask if anyone has downloaded the anime from the current season, so they can see it. They sketch doodles of anime and manga style, and send them to sites like deviantART. Some programs try to make your own anime or manga using programs such as Studio Anime Studio. And 'fandom, which is near and everyone can make friends by asking if they enjoy some shows.
Chiaki Shiraishi is a lover of travel and explore new cultures. After visiting Japan, could not resist the popular culture that was so important to the capital Tokyo. He found differences in the way of taking the Otaku in Japan compared to the country of origin (America), strikes, and asked if it comes from other countries, what was in their country of origin. This inspired him to dig further information required, in which case this article on anime and manga fans.
