Before I knew it, I was one.

Started with Ranma/DBZ. Moved from there to learning Japanese. Changed paths midway through highschool after I started getting laid. Tried to go back to the Otaku path in college... but became a frat pres instead. Now I'm too busy with work to really deep immersion in this stuff.

Still want to tho.

I dunno, I was attracted to cartoons since a kid. After seeing an episode of Inuyasha I was highly interested and started to explore this "anime" thing. And before I knew it I was already an otaku.

Shitty, typical otakuforum-like thread.

But /jp/ is a typicical otaku forum.

ITT: People say they aren't otakus when they clearly are.

Just admit how pathetic you are.

>>5491171
no it's not.
>>5491186
saying "I'm otaku" means you are probably one of those fucking retarded weeaboos that makes shitty posts with tons of emoticons on crappy forums, etc, etc, etc, etc.

Yeah, but kids refer themselves as otaku because they think it's cool. They aren't admitting to anything. Of course, real otakus probably wouldn't just go on everywhere that asks and admit to their faggotry.

How is /jp/ not a typical otaku forum? You've got all the weeaboo shit every other otaku forum has. The only difference is that most posters are in their early 20's and just slightly more mature.

Well I had watched some anime for quite some time before I considered myself an otaku, I say the defining moment was when I found Nico Nico Douga, a few months later I when I was looking through the songs in the Ryuuseigun medley for my itunes library, I found either Marisa Stole the Precious Thing, Kero ⑨ Destiny, or UN Owen was Her, I don't remember which one came first, either way it didn't take long for me to find Touhou. I think around that point I considered myself an otaku.

anime is my escape from lonliness

>> No.5491984

Anime and such present an idealized world. The real world is shit. Humanity is barely one half-step above beasts and it's filled with disease, injustice, hatred, cruelty and fear. I've never understood how anyone can bare living fully immersed in reality.

>> No.5491997

It was the only path

>> No.5492013

I started out watching the usual mainstream japanimation in open TV. Then I moved on to shit like Locomotion and SNES JRPGs but I still wasn't conscious of my "otakuness". Self awareness probably came with Ragnarok Online and my first broadband internet connection.

They can't. That's why so much of mankind uses religion to pull themselves away from the reality of the world in front of them, since the beginning of time.

oh, yeah that's true.
