Yeah I remember posting that one. I got mildly chewed out by Shooraijin for it. Be interesting to see how many links are floating around the site...

:sweat: I guess I'm one of the few who didn't find it that funny (though the commentary on Japanese culture was pretty accurate. O.o). Oh well. *wanders off*

I don't wear my Cowboy Bebop shirt every third day to art class. Really. I mean it. And I totally didn't wear it to the Cherry Blossom Festival and get pathetically excited when I saw a passing dude in an Evangelion shirt.
Now that I've got that out of the way, funny stuff.

Oh man, I laughed through the whole thing. Yeah, I know I'm a dork. I'm comfortable with that. The Japanese word "otaku" roughly means "dork", right?

it means unhealthily obsessed, I believe, and a derrogatory term to boot.

Whee! Didn't it come from a word meaning "house" because the person stayed in their house all day doing whatever it was?

Actually it was coined by a writer of a lolicon magazine in Japan who took it to describe the phenomenon of the loser geek. They may have used the term to adress each other, but the term stuck after this article (1983).

Story can be found in "Dreamland Japan."

otaku is kinda the equivalent of the 35-year-old male who lives in his mother's basement and avidly collects comics, anime, etc.

Learning Japanese doesn't make you an otaku. It's an obsessive attachment to your hobby (and in Japan, you can be an otaku over many things, including computers, electonics, etc), to the point that it becomes the top priority in your life that everything revolves around.

I've actually been in that stage in my life, obsessing because it was Tuesday and I didn't have enough money to buy a new DVD and pay for gas to get to work until payday. I have a more normal interest now, but you can get pretty low with an otaku level obsession...

I've taken Japanese for around 3 years and found it very rewarding. Never accomplished my dream of fluency, but it's been a good bit of knowledge to have.

I'm Japanese, but my family came here several generations back. :sweat: I personally don't find learning Japanese as difficult as the article makes it out to be. >.>; It's a lot of memorization, but that's the hardest part, I think. =/ The language is definitely less wonky than English.

It's more logical (Wonky? I guess I'm old and out of date with that term) than ENglish, and I'm glad that English is my native language, since it looks like it would be hard to learn as a second. It's the kanji that makes Japanese hard (well that and politeness levels).

This is OUR generation, these are OUR brothers and sisters and we commit to fighting for their lives. You will not silence our message, you will not mock our God, and you will stop killing our generation!
