| I once literally socially killed a guy who was a self-proclaimed Otaku, man fuck that guy. |
 |
| yes, just yesterday i was on a four-hour long bus ride and a girl sat next to me who was watching Mushishi and Tsuritama on her phone. it was weird... but at least she had a good taste. |
If life ain't just a joke Then why are we laughing? If life ain't just a joke Then why am I dead? |
| I saw a girl in Attack on Titan cosplay in the mall a few years ago. She even had the full 3D Maneuver Gear setup... As far as I know, there wasn't any kind of convention going on in the area at that time, either... and all of her friends were dressed in regular clothes. I guess she just felt like it was a cosplay kind of day. XD |

| How does doing any of those things make someone an otaku? |

| If people wearing anime tshirts are otakus, then I'm one of them. I've spoken to only a few people who read manga/watch anime, but out of those 10, 5 were freakishly obsessed with these things. One actually had pictures of anime/Japanese people on her Facebook timeline.ALL THE TIME. The other had a collection of anime plushies that she slept with. She was 16 when I last talked to her. It was awkward. But yes, I've met otakus in real life. |
-_- |
| I have seen a few at a convention but they are just hardcore fans. For otakus...not yet but soon..Though I'm not ever going to go into a maid cafe. |

Sorry, I just wanted to use that phrase at least once today. :'( You just happened to be the target this time. I don't want to name the people that are my friends 'Otaku', which the OP seemed to be asking. My friends aren't afraid to admit it, but it's not like they go out of their way to spread it. >.> |

I already mentioned that I used the term "otakus" (I use quotation marks for a reason) just to shorten the thread title. Okay sure, I probably should have just said anime fan or sumthin', since using the word "otaku" out of context seems to have gotten a lot of you people's knickers in a bundle. Why so sensitive? Are you perhaps otakus yourself? :o (the traditional otaku) Seriously though, this is like someone getting pissed because they call a snake poisonous rather than venomous. Calling it poisonous technically isn't incorrect, since venom is still a kind of poison.

My friends aren't afraid to admit it, but it's not like they go out of their way to spread it. >.> This thread was just meant to be a discussion on whether or not anyone has seen people in public that excessively display their interest in anime/manga. This wasn't meant to be about people's friends, and I didn't mean any offence by using "otaku". I guess that word is either the bane of mankind, or something someone proudly pro-claims themselves as, depending on the person. |

| noticed some loser dressed up as Maka Albarn when I was at Cinema 1 a couple years ago. I got outta there pretty quickly lol then there was also this angry 8 year old who was wearing that Attack on Titan hoodie with the wings on the back. That was pretty recent. lolatusenpai said: I prefer the title "Enlightened Weeaboo" thank you very much.People who claim they are not weebs here on MAL are actually weebs |

Rumanshi said: Really bored, that's all~ But I don't like the use of derogatory terms by anyone except for the person themselves~ Well, I'll admit I probably shoulda just used "anime fan" instead, I'll change the thread title to reflect that. When I made this, I was just thinking more along the lines of someone who's more a "massive" anime fan (e.g. cosplaying in public), so otaku came to mind more than just your average fan of animu. I'm sure some of these fans would actually feel complimented if you called them an otaku, as I said, it just depends on the person: Massive insult to some, awesome compliment to others. |
|
| Never seen any in my country but I saw some when I was in China. Cosplayers :> |
| Never seen a real otaku, my friends are alright |
| I've been here way too long... |
| I've seen a real otaku, holy wow... They had so many issues. I'm so glad he failed University, never get to see that again... The above sounds harsh. But believe me, if you saw him, you would feel the same way. |
| Well yeah. Most of my best friends are anime fans. |

| Selfie thread go |
| friends and a twin sister who are fans. :3 |
| In one of the classes I was in last year I did, she was way overweight and wore a EVA shirt. |
 |
| Nope :( I did see one guy in college reading a manga on his laptop though :) |
| Yeah, I have. |
 |
| I have, but sadly never interacted with one. |
| There's this nerdy Asian guy that works with me. I instinctively asked him if we watched anime, and he went on and on about all his favorite anime. I guess it's easy to spot one. |
| Yeah, the majority of my friends are anime fans. |
| Outside of cons, I've met a few. Thankfully all of them were chill about it. |
 |
| One time i have seen someone with an uchiwa t-shirt. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| I don't see many but sometimes when im in the bathroom alone this crazy otaku appears on the wall. |
| I mostly see people who fail to cosplay there Anime characters...I have never once seen an ordinary Anime Fan in real. |
 |
| I see myself in the mirror |
 |
| yep, i live in a a place that holds a pretty big anime con around this time of year so it isn't unusual to see someone walking around with a soul eater or kill la kill shirt. |
| cool |
| Yeah at my local campus. |
| Of course, I'm an anime fan as well. A better thread would be "do you know any weeaboo irl" because being an anime enthusiast doesn't make you a weeb. |
 |
| No, but I've never been to a con either. I plan on keeping it that way. |
