   HOW TO I.D. AN OTAKU...
hell-o everybody!! im sooo bored.. theres nothing to do but to surf the net but i have to go to the library soon so i have to get off to get ready im still in my pjs yay!! hahahaha... i went on-line and searched for pic from anime expo because i never been there before and i want to go next year so i wanted to get some ideas on what i should dress up as... but some how i found this list its soo funny.. its on how to identify an otaku...


HOW TO IDENTIFY AN OTAKU
The fact is you can't easily identify a otaku at first glance. Otakus come in many different shapes and colors. Most are men. Some are high fashion otakus and are clearly visible by their dark blacked out Gucci shades from Milan and shoulder long hair while some look like they have wandered off the street and haven't seen their own face for years nor lived in anything more luxurious than a used cardboard box. Remember the main criteria: obsessive about a hobby. This can be fashion or anything else.
There are however some tell-tale signs of the anime otaku. For the first you can immediately disqualify anyone who rents anime at a local video rental store as an otaku. An otaku gets his anime before it airs on Japanese TV and has a collection that would easily send any video store out of business. Many "friends" use this to their advantage and make frequent visits. The anime otaku is usually found in worn T-shirts and tries to spend as little time as possible on such inconsequential things as bathing. I mean why bath when you can glue your eyes to a anamorphic wide-screen DVD player.

Is your next door neighbor an otaku? Are you one? If you match these following characteristics then maybe....

-It was a week since you last spotted daylight
-Around your house your guests complain about all the leftovers of Evangelion model kits that get stuck between their toes.
-You ordered the Tenchi Muyo In Love Special Edition Imported LD for $149.95
