Awesome, I'd love to go to japan, forgive my ignorance, But whats otaku japanese?
I'm moving soo off topic, but you found my weakness.
"Otaku" technically me "you", but was used by anime fans to donate themselves as set apart from others.
In real Japanese, getting called an "Otaku" is really derogatory. It's the equivalent of "Get away from my you head-up-your-ass loser and take a fricking shower!" It's not a mark of honor and when foreigners call themselves that, it's really embarrassing.
