/jp/ - Otaku Culture

What does it even mean to be part of Otaku-culture?
I don't know.

Anyway, I think the mid-2000s Otaku culture appeals to me more than what we have nowadays.
In a sense it was still a bit rough and had character, compared to today, where everything seems a bit too polished (on a surface level).
The OP pic shows what I mean quite well. I guess I just enjoy the aesthetic.
There used to be more fun and silly things as well. From Shaft anime shenanigans to simple 2000 video games.
Maybe I'm just biased.

>Another thing that bothers me is this "collection of girls and boys" thing that's happened.
I don't like that shit. Gacha-trash is something else that I strongly dislike about todays Otaku-culture. Love-live being both at the same time.
