What is your personal definition of an otaku?

some think you have to have watched a certain amount of anime, other think that you have to have watched certain anime certain to be an otaku, and others think that it's simply someone who's obsession/passion is anime in general. What's your opinion?

Also asking this because my friend was confused, and I told her "Why not go ask the fanpoppers?" XD

Well, I dislike the term otaku tbh. It's a negative term overall, plus whenever I think of it I think of the link which is just,, ,, horrible and disgusting (just gonna put a major warning on the link but if you want to read it,,,)

So, I'll use the term I use, "Anime Fan". To be one, you have to (wait for it...) enjoy watching anime. Big Anime Fans? They enjoy watching a lot of anime, or they watch a regular amount and enjoy those shows a lot.

Easy enough, right?

For me, saying that one is an otaku is saying that you are dedicated to anime. Not to be confused with "Weeaboos" (the negative versions of otaku in my opinion), I find that otaku are people who basically live and breath anime. They collect merchendise, watch an extensive amount of anime, draw tagahanga art, write fanfiction, etc. As an otaku myself, I don't really think of it as derogatory and actually am pleased when someone calls me an otaku. I know some would take it as being too obsessed and losing touch with reality, but for me, being an otaku just means that you're dedicated and care very strongly about your fandom.

Hmm.. I learned the term 'otaku' from a friend who I'd called an 'anime freak' and he sinabi he preferred the term 'otaku'. In Hapon though, an otaku is pretty much a bad thing. Watch Ouran High School Host Club and Kaichou Wa Maid-sama and you'll see evidence of this.
I like calling myself an otaku though, because being an otaku doesn't necessarily have to mean anime oriented. An otaku loves anime, and wants a Japanese name to go with their love, like MLP mga manliligaw are known as Bronies and Pegasisters.

Wel I heard Otaku is used to refer to people who have no social life and have a weird obsession about something and it's called otaku because taku means tahanan in Japanese and if you are an Otaku you almost never leave your house.

I know it is really negative xD

But I like to call myself otaku because I don't think it is a negative word.. and you can just use it to say you ar an anime tagahanga (because almost everyone does that)XD

WOW I'M SO AWESOME IN EXPLAINING THINGS AND ANSWERING QUESTIONS....
I hope you understand at least half of it >.<
