What is Otaku?

Some say that Otaku 

(おたく) is a way of life, a hobby, some say that it is when someone is obsessed by every and all things Japan. (anime, manga, culture, language, etc...)


Who is to say?


Be it a smidgen of curiosity or an extreme addiction

The only person that can decide that is 

YOU!!

In some ways, to a degree, being an Otaku  means that you were exposed to things that you would normally not experience.
