28 year-old male from Nagasaki, Japan I am the local Anime & Japanese Otaku. I know lot of things about the Japanese and still learning more too. I'm the Chairman of an Japanese Media Culture Club at Ohio University Chillicothe Campus. JMCClub Not every one can be a Otaku... There is a test! :P
If I made a test it would be a little more harder... But this test will let you know if you on the right path being a Otaku... You have fail right now if you don't know the word "otaku"?
Ok! The test is to watch a Anime called "Lucky Star"
Its a Anime full with puns, daily life silly thinking, and some cameo appearances... The story portrays the lives of several school girls attending a Japanese high school with a very loose humor tone.
After watching a few eps... "You can't judge by only watching one ep."
Then make comments on how you feel about the series... I'll reply to let you know you on the right path or I love your comment.
But you will fail the test if you give it a bad review. Because you must be one with your otaku side. If not? Your just a fan...
Many Anime Bloggers lost their Otaku-ness because they gave a bad review on a Anime... (Because True Fans and Otakus love it more than that Anime Blogger.) I think that Blogger gave a bad review on "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" and got his ass ripped off... lol
Also The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is Super Cool!
Lucky Star is made for a True Anime Otaku... Good luck!
