I am not an Otaku. For some reason, I am not really into anime like some of my friends, who live for anime. It is just something that I watch to relax and have fun, but I am not an addict.

Most addicts don't know they are addicted.

In Japan, otaku is a fairly derogatory term used to describe an obsessed fan of something (not necessarily anime). In North America, however, the term is often a badge of honor for hard-core anime fans. Sometimes also used to refer to anime fans in general.

I would say that the word is over used in the sense of the number of true hard-core fans, but that there are a number of people that truely are classifed as such. I would say that the word in the sense of a derogatory statement is perfect for some of the "otaku's" around here.....

I just said my opinion, isn't that the point of a discussion thread? Anyways! I live in the country, where anime was born, but I admit I don't have A LOT of interest in it. Life is more than just anime, you know. There is a lot more to it.
