The Otaku Myth

As you can see from the following photos, otaku get to wine n dine with a gorgeous girl - and with a different girl every night.
Below: two chicken drumsticks - one for him and one for Nanoha.
Images via 2chart where you can see even more pics of otaku dining with gorgeous girls.
If you are new here, you may want to keep up with more of the same via RSS or Danny's other networks. (dont show again)

This is not possible, these guys should go to a psyc XD. Hum the question is a hard one. Otaku is a term used to refer to people with obsessive interests especially on anime and manga. Since I'm not obsessed with anime and manga, I only care most part for the art itself and a good story in animes so I don't consider myself an Otaku.

i was thinking near that cause the theme of the pictures are obbviously the same but the elements are amusingly the same: 1. chicken leg cooked in 2 variations 2. wine 3. lots of cake 4. and the occasional pasta
(ID #410672) Posted on 2008/12/14 01:15
And the funny thing is, this doesn't seem all that rare anymore. I remember Danny posting about this maybe a year ago, and at the time there were only like 3 pictures (Though it could've been that he just didn't bother posting that many at the time). With this many pictures, it's starting to look like a new trend in Japan.
(ID #67134) Posted on 2007/12/17 01:40
Lol....good for them. I guess I "technically" do this. I like to watch anime when I eat lunch lol, but nothing as extreme as to eat "with" what I see on a screen.

I'm pretty sure (not really, actually) the guy doesn't do this. In any case, if I was having a dinner with wine with Louise, I'd watch out... It would probably make her more tsun tsun

I'd prefer to dine with somebody who I can talk to and listen from. Exchange smiles and words and actually see them eat my cooking or I eat their cooking :D But hey, some actually looks aright in the photo 'cept the chicken drumsticks... o.O How many here do that?

*ROFL* Ah Danny, sometimes your humor just kills me. I laugh so hard my nuts hurt... oh wait, that's from something else. Anyhow, the gf came over to see was so funny, and didn't quite see the humor in it when I jokingly said "maybe I should get one of those". Evident by the smack upside my head. It's love.

(ID #67147) Posted on 2007/12/17 02:51
the obvious next step is to combine this practice with some kind of motion sensor and a follow-me flash movie, such as the haruhi/mikuru/yuki ones on the website for the haruhi psp game, so you can dine with someone who follows your movements.

is this phenomena real or just for show? If it is real the people who do this will probably find the guy running down the street with panties on his head quite normal. see Dannychoo-"Naked in Akihabara" the disturbing part is I've seen many other picture like this.

Ehhh this is a hard one to answer for the poll- at best "Otakuish" tendencies. I really enjoy anime and collecting stuff such as figures and model kits from Japan, however going as deep as eroge, those pillow things (I should know what they are called! I am studying Japanese) or staying in my room all the time is just not me. I venture out of the room and socialize with people but not to a great effect- According to the Myers-Briggs test I am a 19/20 introvert with some extravert tendencies (6/20)- so I do like to talk with people and socialize when they arn't being idiots. Am also in the same category with many who have no boyfriend or girlfriend. I never played the dating game in high school and I won't start now in college; I am waiting for that right time and that right moment to meet that 1 woman out of 3,000,000.000 of 'em. As lonely as that is I push on and hold onto that value that my day is someday. Until then I push on with my studies. I have sympathy yet share a curious interest with the Otaku mind. Anime is awesome and I think I will enjoy it for life: however Eroge and all this "deep" deep stuff is not really my game. I can understand the otaku mind, yet at the same time I can venture around and try to make the best of my current situation. Thats not to say otaku don't make the best of their situation- I make the best of my situation how I see fit. Power to otaku!

(ID #67181) Posted on 2007/12/17 07:00
HOLY CRAP... lol You know... they should make eroge dakimakura, but for girls. Like with sexy guys on them instead. ;D
(ID #67182) Posted on 2007/12/17 07:04
a little bit disturbing, but then again no one is perfect. I still consider myself an Otaku since I have GUNPLA, my Japanese friend(who is female) says its "KI-Moe" or bad, but then again she calls most people on campus otaku since they don't dress like people in harajuku or Ikeburo.. she says I am Shinjuku cuz i wear my suit like "sara-ri-man" .
(ID #67183) Posted on 2007/12/17 07:04
I consider myself an otaku but I think I would stop being one if it gets to this level.
(ID #67184) Posted on 2007/12/17 07:55
That's sad to see. Well, if they are glad worshipping their 2D idols, why not? Maybe have they all tried to be in in a relationship and never found happiness. If you consider this to be part of otaku-ism, please count me out. I am quite okay with my life for now and I don't think I'd do something that extreme ever in my life. By the way syrix, my friend, what you do (which I do too) is multi-tasking and nothing else. ^^

Man...those things are kinda freaky.

Too much of something is really bad. and moderation and balance is key to a healthy life.

I first started to learn Japanese (Japanese for Dummies!) and ended up watching anime, learning to read bunko and reading manga. Now I have three English to Japanese dictionaries, Three kanji references, two how to write kanji, two Japanese slang books and one Japanese grammar book(most looked over). I becoming an Otaku through learning Japanese. I think it is not bad but I am a bit obsessed on trying to understand this language and by doing this stuff. I think from looking from Genshiken, there are various things that a person can be called an Otaku, sports, video games, anime, etc.. Therefore it is just another word for Elvis fans ;-) I think the emphasis is on the view towards the Japanese culture obsession, but a fanboy/girl is a fanboy/girl.

I own an anime store, anime fan site, going to marry a cute Euro-Asian girl, vigorously played a number of sports from hockey, football and baseball, and have modeled over here in New York. There are a number of people like me that are otaku and are NOT the stereotype. Granted, yes there are some weird people into anime that fit the stereotype of awkward, nerdy, and have bad luck with the ladies (and men) but I doubt that goes for the people here at this site ^_^. Also, extreme nerdyness in some cases is a mild form of autism so they can't help it. I am an otaku and proud of it! Don't hide it guys; my girl found me because I was into anime so anyone who has problems with the ladies, just be yourself and have confidence and you'll be fine.

Once again, the usual blurb - "I don't have a GF, never had one..." etc. I also have a Becky from Paniponi Dash dakimakura, a Louise cushion cover and some others coming (hopefully) today, but I don't do this. Sure, I've hugged the dakimakura, but that's what it's made for! ^^ I eat in front of the PC, but that's only because it's easier. I eat dinner at the dining table with my parents (yeah, I'm not alone!), so I'm not a room-boy, but I do spend a lot of time inside the room! ^^ I do get out a lot, but the kind of girl I'd like to become a partner with just isn't lurking around the places I go to - and any who *do* like me are much too young for me!

I don't think being an otaku on that level is a goal. It's more like something to avoid since it looks like it's a full time obsession. All full time obsessions will hurt you in the long run. I think it's good that people here still have time for jobs/studies, at least I hope that's the case :)

I believe a similar question was asked before and once again my answer is no. I do not consider myself an otaku. Although some of my interests lie in the same range as most otaku (anime, manga, games, etc) some are a long shot away from most otaku too (outdoor sports, 3d girls, etc). Even then, the real reason i don't consider myself an otaku happens to be my consciousness that i am no expert in any of my 'otaku' interests, let alone the others.

I also don't like many otaku things like doujins, hentai, eroge games, daikimura, fantasizing over 2d girls and such. I think I'm maybe half otaku XD

I don't think us Otakus will be 'so ronery' for much longer.

Staying true to the original connotations of otaku in the Japanese realm, I don't consider myself to be one. I just like anime, manga, eroge and 2D characters, but I won't go overboard like this.

I suppose that was amusing. Though i wonder is this just something a few people did and posted pics of online, thus creating the urge for others to repeat it. Or do people do stuff like this without taking the pictures and actually sit down and eat like that??? If it is the latter that is really quite strange. And as long as these people are happy with what their doing i see no problem with it. Yet i have to wonder....
