Your Otaku Type

you forgot to add figure otaku

I started off an Anime Otaku, then I found out more and more.
Now I'm a Mecha, 2d Girl, Game, Anime Otaku.

kowai dechu ^^; this scene reminds me of some parts from rosario and vampire lol!

OMG! he got photo tiles.. ^____^;

Started out as a western comic book collector and gamer, moved on to anime and then recently have been spending more time and money on Gundam related stuff, always loved 2d girls and always dig Japan related stuff. I am a little bit of everything I suppose but my collection screams Gunota.

didn't vote BTW. ^^,;

Anime, manga, and 2d otaku. Well, computer otaku too but I don't know if that counts.

i was the first to vote for japan!

I'm a mecha otaku, robots/mechs have always been what I loved since I was a toddler. I love Gundam above all mechs.

I'm not so big on anime since I don't get obsessive and try to watch every show that's currently on.

Im heavily addicted to really good graphic games. Any games that looks good I'd buy...

i also like anime,but im more into manga

I'm into idol, geimu, anime, 2D girl, mecha, food, itasha otaku... I not sure which should I vote...

I'm a pretty new otaku - still learning a lot, so I'd say I'm a general Japan Otaku.

BTW - what's up with the cake in the middle of the picture? haha

What, no all of the above choice? Since I own a lot more games then I do anime, I guess that makes me a game otaku.

Yep, I'm between anime, figure, game, gadget, japan and 2d girl.
Not an idol otaku though.

start off with games anime and manga separately, move to Gundam, then other mechs. then stop.. got back in a few years later, now into everything :P

Anime. I would be a game otaku but college is making me poor. I can't afford to get an xbox360, PS3, or even a decent gaming computer.

I'm sort of a mix otaku. Anime Otaku being my primary hobby, Game Otaku and Persocom Otaku which follows.

I have way too many eroge ( TДT) and not enough time to play them all!

And although I listen exclusively to Japanese music, I don't exactly worship bands or idols so... you need a music otaku category ^^

I think the closest that would fit me would be anime/figure. Though I don't have too many figures...yet.

I'm into anime, games and mecha.A bit of Japan and 2D Girls, but not too much of an idol otaku.

Game Boy otaku. Maybe should promote to portable, solid-state media, 2D game otaku.

Anime, 2D Girl and Train/Railroad/Densha Otaku.

is there such thing as a jack of all trades otaku? =P

I started being an Anime otaku ... but now I'm 100% idol otaku :D

I think I am mostly anime otaku. But thanks to Danny's efforts, I am thinking more and more about buying figures. So thank you for teaching me this very expensive hobby:P

I started as a video game and american comics geek when i was just a young lad. Then I found Ranma, Vampire Hunter D and Ninja Scroll. SO it was all anime and games for me, didn't even realize what I was until some years ago, lol.

I still enjoy pretty much all of otakuism, but anime is what I find to be my most essential form of life.

Anime, mecha, game and now, Japan.

I started with anime & tokusatsu, but now anime is pretty much what I like. So anything related to that including figures & games are my otakuness. I'm a jack-of-all-trades anime otaku, master of none.

I have my interest mainly on game. But I started off as an anime watcher so I voted for that.
I'd would like also Japan and 2D Girl. Heh

Game, Anime, Japan, Mecha(Gundam) ^^

Started off as a game Otaku but now I'm mainly a "japan" or "2d girl" otaku. lol

anime ,figures,2d,mecha,japan idon't like idol and sentai or tokusatsu.

anime, figures and 2d girls ^_^ pretty soon will start manga too.

akibakei ^_^

akibakei ^_^

Anime, idol, game and Japan otaku and recently getting into 2D girls.

I'm an anime geek since I'm just a 6 year old kid and now I'm 23 and that's quite long! I think *and actually all the people around me* that these seem obsession of mine will eventually subsides as I reach the right time but I guess that right time would never happen! Lolz

Had myself so tangled with animes that I didn't have enough time to transform myself into "game beast". Now I'm starting to love collecting mechs and figs and I'm undergoing some metamorphosis. Hihih! XDD

I started as just a Game otaku.
Now in addition to that I'm also an Anime and Japan otaku.

Anime otaku, manga otaku, doujinshi otaku and lastly figure otaku. Fujoshi all the way though.

I don't collect as much misc. merchandise as other people, since I always feel they are overpriced and could just get the real deal with the monies.

wow are those all different idols?

"I started off being a game otaku and then adding japan, idol, anime, mecha and 2D girls over time."
Pretty much the same as me ^-^ I also enjoy Mecha-musume, Tetsudo-musume, Military, seiyu, art books, doujinshi, remix music.. and more ^^;

mecha (which is essentially gunpla making), then anime, then games
I might have to add ggarage kit into that fray -if I am successful in the two kits I bought

That is a very scary picture.

Started off as anime, just add mecha and sprinkle in some japan with a pinch of 2D girls

Is that Yaguchi Mari I see there? That guy has some good taste.

Anime came first which got me interested in to Japanese culture. Which then branches off to stuff like figures and manga.

Mecha all d wae ~
not rly interested in moe stuffs
but moar into elegants figs to be put beside my mechas

OMG he's a Yaguchi fan!
MoMusu forever!~

I started as a game otaku but grew more interests from that.
Now, mainly anime followed by figures, tech stuff, games and Japan ^^

Oh.. dedication indeed, nice one! to whoever is in the photo ^^

More of an anime fan.

That's why I collect the figures hehe

School otaku. -__-;;

2D for me. All of the things I love are related to 2D (and 3D), whether it's bishojo figures, anime with predominately female leads (e.g., Clannad, Ikki Tousen, Da Capo, To Love-Ru, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, etc.), Hello! Project idols, etc. And no, I don't need a girlfriend... unless I meet a cute cosplayer, that is. haha :P

Well, mainly anime otaku ^^ Thats the start for most of us right?

I suppose I'm mostly an anime otaku (but I am really REALLY into 2D girls). Was torn on what to check. Most of the animes I like have really cute girls.

But, I am also a Japan otaku. Most of the time, I am out in Japan taking walks while snapping photos. Though I do the same thing in other ports too when I can (only Vietnam and Cambodia so far).

More of a Game and Anime otaku here.
Tons of collection!? 0.0

Man's he's dedicated. Anime otaku wooo but slowly straying off it because of school yay

ゲームです。
Even though I like other stuff as well.

Is there some sort of subOtaku category covering tech,IT,gadgets,etc?

i would've ticked that

My otaku affinity is categorized into two classes: hardcore and casual.

Hardcore:
- 1/6 action figures.
- Non-scale action figures.
- Mecha.
- Guns and weapons.

Casual:
- Anime.
- Manga.
- Gunpla.

I think Anime/Manga otaku might be more descriptive of myself, but Anime is definitely the closest one here.

Very addict to anime, games and Japan

I'm not much of an anime otaku but I am an otaku when it comes to guns, the military and aircraft x_x

those photos lying on the ground can be his room carpet/bed. step into room lie down slp. ^.^;;

I started out as a anime otaku -> 2d girls -> Japan not so much of the other categories i guess.

Started off from Anime Otaku then now Anime & Game Otaku XD

Started off as an anime otaku, but the garnered an interest in just Japan in general, especially some of the design that comes out of there. Naoto Fukasawa's work in particular is just awesome.

i originally started out with mainly mecha-related anime, and games. eroge came in later, then the whole world of anime came in. and Japan came in through my taste for J-doramas as well. now, through DC.com, i also picked up Idols and 2D girls, more of the former though since i like 3D. =P

started off as a game otaku, and when i arrived in US and the wonderful world of anime, manga and japan were discovered, they transform me. HENSHIN!!

Mainly anime and Japan, but I dabble everwhere.

Used to be a gamer, now as i get busier, figu+idol collector

I started off with Pokemon and games and any anime that was shown on terrestrial that I could watch(Beyblade, Cardcaptors, Digimon etc). And then it evolved into more in 2003, to include more esseteric manga and anime. Tokyopop stuff. I evolved again last year, when I got wireless broadband, that let me download fansubs for the first time. And in october when I got a job I could buy bigger pvc figures. I'm a full blown otaku of Japanese things. Anime, manga, games, mascots, the place itself, the music etc etc. The Majority of my obsession is anime/manga though. Games are secondary, cos I have hardly any time for them... (I'm making time for Clannad.....)

Big time mecha fan. Own magazines, gundam models, and countless info about different gundam series.

Mainly anime.
I started with anime and games. Then came japan, 2Dgirls and figs.

Started Off as a Gamer than Manga, not long after Anime than Gunpla, after that PC Mod than Finally Fimga collector. And Until now I still an Otaku for all that I mention.

Mainly anime otaku. The rest of my otaku-ness is split among the other categories.

Anime otaku but slipping into game otaku cos I don't that much time to watch anime anymore.

anime->manga->game->japan :D
and Japan spawns the endless pursuit of more things otaku

For me it will be

Game > anime > mecha

YAGUCHI! I think its Japan, idol, game. :)

I don't know what I started off with xD; Either games or anime, but I think games.

As for now, mostly manga, then anime, music, gaming, gundam and lastly figures :3

I want that cake~ (~`3´)~

I started with Anime. Over the years, it has really got me into Japan. But I had to vote anime since that was the root.

mainly game otaku but now it has gone further with anime and japan

I followed the same progression you did, but still leaning on being a music and video game otaku.

Its be Anime, Game, Figure, Mecha, 2d Girls and PC Hardware, i dont know if the last is an otaku mania but i like to always check and if possible get the latest powerful hardwares.

Aww, a shame there wasn't a manga category.

Anime, manga, Japan, games, Jmusic, japanese, figures...

I love diversifying :D

Been a mecha fan/Gunota all along..

Anime, manga, figures and the odd game here and there. That pic never fails to scare me every time I see it.

Anime, and later focusing on mecha.

I hope the dud didn't just trip and fall...

I've always been game whether the games were imported or not. I at some point was into gundam collecting and now, after a long absence, I've started it again.

Started off as an anime/game otaku, then manga/mecha, then Japan. They more or less happened one after the other within a span of one to two years ^_^v The last one is figure otaku which only happened this year ^o^;

I was originally a game otaku. Playing all the games. Then I got into anime after watching FMA. Then manga spawned from anime. And then figures after watching Eureka Seven and seeing the Nirvash review on I'm pretty sure this website. But I remember it looking a lot different.

When I was a wee lad a French television channel aired dubbed anime on Wednesday afternoon (over here kids are off from school on Wednesday afternoon) which I watched and got hooked on. But as I grew older they were no longer airing any anime on television anyway.
With the possibilities of the Internet I was able to get back into anime several years ago.

So I'm pretty much an anime otaku though I like a few manga and am not indifferent to images of kawaii 2D girls.

Im a Mecha/Tokusatsu & Anything kawaii & Cool anime otaku type....

I've begun with manga and games then anime. Now I'm manga/anime/2D girl otaku.

At first i was into games....but started on my anime craze when i watch FMP , after that i just got hooked on anime and just was never able to break free ^.^

Started as an anime otaku, now i´m an anime/japan/2D-girl/manga otaku.

Started off with a regular dose of games and anime. I got more into it and now im balanced in all aspects of the subculture-anime, manga, games, japan, J-music, and some other subjects.

The first thing I did when I saw this picture is laugh.
Then I noticed a cake, and started wondering what he's doing exactly.

Got started when a friend lent me his manga in my junior year in high school, then went into anime, and then figures...

My interest for Japan started with manga and anime but today I read and watch all about Japan I can get - excepting some political topics.^^;

Mecha otaku all the way.

i´m the anime-Japan otaku kind XD i have my room full anime posters, figures, etc. oh! btw that pix looks sick haha but anyway i guess that´s how he expresses himself hehe

You forgot garage kits and manga.

Damn, that is one sweet room. I'm a wota.

I would probably say I'm a anime and game otaku. Though I do enjoy learning about Japan quite a bit. I would like to get into mecha more but, I don't know if I could handle making them. -_-'

Anime. Mecha and 2D of the ones in the list.

i used to be all mecha but i've expanded into 2d, anime and idols

I'm more of a game-type otaku. I enjoy watching anime but not into it enough to consider myself an anime otaku.

Mostly anime, with a solid dose of moe and a side of gaming.

I'm all about anime and mecha!!

But If I had to chooose.... Mecha!!!

Probably like many people, I started off as an anime otaku but now I'm more of a Japan otaku I guess you could say. I love learning and experiencing the cultural aspects of Japan outside of just anime.

Right now... I am more of an Anime Otaku. Growing up, though, I was something else. Plus, as we speak, I am finding myself becoming a Manga Otaku since I am finding myself either buying or wanting to buy certain Japanese manga titles as well as their English counterparts.

And FYI, I blame The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (the manga) for starting this trend for me. :P

I started out an anime otaku, but as I learned more about japan I became everything but a mecha and idol otaku.

Where do I, a MANGA otaku stand?! *cries*

Started out as a game otaku with Final Fantasy and fighting games (Guilty Gear, Marvel vs. Capcom, etc.) After that I discovered anime through Naruto, manga after that and figures from here. So I guess now you could say I'm an game/anime/manga/figure otaku. XD

Started as game, then added anime, and now gaming is less than the anime portion.

I think he can just fall there happily in his nsoebleed and not wake up again

I started as an anime otaku... then Japan... then game...

game, mecha, figure, anime, [computer?] 2d otaku =w=''

Definitely tied: gaming and anime otaku.

I'm an anime otaku, but I'm slowing becoming an idol otaku as well ^^.

I started out as an Anime Otaku >.<, buying anime series, movies, posters, figures, trinkets, games and such all on anime, then i really started on games getting the, n64, Nintendo, play station, ps2, and the games too >.< then i got extremely into anime everything anime and by now i spent about $80,000 lol...and it is still counting, i always got the game magazines, idol magazines, and anime magazines as much as i could lol then after that i just stuck at it for many years till now and i just recently starting on my figure collection, ill be starting to get allot of figures soon ^^ right now i got 5 in the past 3 weeks but it will go up i have allot of ones i want b4 i get all i want and then get all the new ones i want ill have around a room full of figures by then lol and right now i have spent about $180,000 on everything lol...and lots more to come lol and every day it increases with something lol, i got lots of music, magazines, games, figures, trinkets, and lots of anime stuff lol ill never stop collecting lol i love everything just too much >.< im a big otaku lol its best to start out young lol i started at 10 years old lol now im 19 lol still a long ways to go and lots more to collect ^^...

I'm agame otaku. Started off as one and then got into anime later. Later still my fascination with anime turned me into a 2D girl and Japan otaku as well. But I'm still mainly a game otaku.

I started as a Gaming Otaku, but now I'm mainly an Anime Otaku. I find myself buying more Anime and Manga than games, especially with new games nowadays being $60 USD. I'll just get the latest volume of Bleach and FMA instead.

i think i am more obsessed with Gundam mecha than anime. =3

I've always liked games since mario bros on the NES. Then I was introduced to Cowboy Bebop and Spirited Away around the time it opened in theatres in North America, and thus I was hooked. From anime comes the figure and Japan interests. Gaming still dominates my spending.

I'm a "Jack of All trades" Otaku. Don't have any specialization, but I like them all. :D

Im definitely into games :3

Anime, 2D, Gundam, Figure, Japan~~~~~~~~~

I jump around a lot. It depends on how much time I have to focus on a specific area of fandom, how much progress Im making in a game, and a lot of things.

I jump between anime otaku, game otaku, figure otaku (though with a tight budget), computer otaku, 2D otaku, mecha otaku, and Japan otaku.

Im all of those at once (and much more!) but my main otakuhood changes between anime and game depending on how much time I have to devote to watching anime on my computer in a given week. :D

I also have some singers I listen to but I dont consider myself an idol otaku since I dont follow their public appearances or hunt of images. :D

I am all-purpose otaku. A little bit of everything from the list.

Hey, that looks like me... :o
But...to get to that position he must have stepped on some photos >_> OMG! What sacrilege, stepping on the girls!
Still, I'm a gamer. Gaming is my life, and that's how it'll stay ^^;

i guess i'm a "Jack of All Trades" Otaku since i love anime, music,idols,figures and gunpla~

so many musume pictures...so little time...

Figures, Anime, Mecha, in that order.

Started with Games, Anime >_>
And I guess thats where it kinda stops.... -_-

That pic is a little disturbing...

that pic...is insane...i mean...great..yah...
anyway...i'm a anime, mecha, game and figure-otaku...(umm...yah, i think)

Mostly Anime, manga, Mecha... and the occasional game play.
Basically everything.

hmm my otaku type is: games, anime, figures, mechas, 2D and japan. and i also love computers.
i just love mechas. i like the mechas from armored core 4, battlefield 2142 and nge.

Overall, I am anime type Otaku. I have allot of my DVDs proudly displayed along with some commission art work.

I voted game but I have interest in all fields. Does Japanese car otaku count?

I started as an anime otaku on a partial scale.... Then I became full fledged when I started watching Initial D and Air Gear...After that, I became a Mecha and Japanese Car Otaku..... Hail Danny!
