the OTAKU culture

Evening everyoneDTWW hereTonight I will introduce to you a kind of interesting and charming culture.Some of you might know of it.Let's do a little test at first. What does ACGN mean

A is for the animation (i.e. anime)C is for the comic(i.e. manga)G is for the game and N is basically for the light novel.By now you will have guessed the topic I want to sayyesit's the OTAKU cultureYuan fangwhat do you think

Otaku, meaning probably "venerablehouse," refers to someone who has a devotion to a subject or hobby (not necessarily anime) to the point of not leaving home. It refers to somebody with an obsession, from anime, manga, video games, computers to things like train sets, stamps etc.

In a narrower sense, it is confined to a fan of ACGN.Otakus are groups that have a wide knowledge about ACGN and a deep understanding of them.They hardly go outside unless for necessary activities. Otaku culture has developed into a pop culture in recent years. The base of Otakus is Akihabara(i.e. Akiba)

Akiba-kei is a Japanese slang termjust like the well known gang nan stylecan be called

“Akiba style".Akiba is originallya street famous for electronic products, calling the electronic block. Since these Otakus frequentlybuy products, nowadays the shops swift their goods from electronics to comics, anime books and game softwares.

Then let's talk about what Otakus like.They would be normally fond of the following things

1. Collecting various items related to their obsession, such as comic serials, games, Doujinshi, clothes, cartoon figure modelsbolstersand so on.

By the waythe Four CardinalPrinciplesof OTAKU are collectingarrangingsharing and creating.Especially the Otakus creations lead to many wondersfor example the Touhou Project(i.e. Eastern Project)Higurashi no NakuKoroni(i.e. When They Cry) and the Tsukihime(i.e. LunarPrincess)witch are known as the top three wonders of Japanese Otakus.

Many Otakus upload their illustrationsdrew by SAI or Photoshop to the Websites like pixiv to share with thousands of net friendsFurthermore you can attend the Comiket (i.e. ComicMarket) to buy Doujinshi you prefer to and to enjoy the Cosplayperformance

2. The Maid cafes: Akihabara now boastsaround many maid cafes that cater not just to male geeks but also to couples, tourists and the merelycurious. Whats more maid shops that sell specialkinds of goods, mostly to the taste of Otakus.When you get in the shopthe maids always sayお帰りなさい,ご主人様(Welcome back homemy master)with a deep bow;before you enjoy the food they may say おいしいくなれ,もえもえチュー(To be moredelicious moemoekiss~);and while you are leaving they will say行ってらしゃいませ,ご主人様(please take caremy master)with a deep bow again.

With beautiful hair hoops and sometimes animal ears like nekomimi(i.e. cats ears)and a lovely




pose, the maids wear cute servant clothes or those that imitate cartoon figures, which gain favor with male Otakus very much. One section of the maids clothes that gainsmoe points a lot is the Zettairyōiki(i.e. Absolute field)which means the part of thighs between the skirt and the over-knee-socks.

3. Voice fans:some Otakus adoreseiyuu’s voice much. For examplelots of men like the voice that sounds moe. They have their favorite voice actresses; they also spare no efforts to collect the audiosthe seiyuu dubbed; they buy the CDs of their favorite voice actresses and go to their concerts.

4.Others

Comiket(Comic Market)CM圣战

[Comiket, otherwise known as the Comic Market is the world's largest Doujinshi fair, held twice a year in Tokyo, Japan. The first Comiket was held on December 21, 1975, with only about 32 participating circles and an estimated 600 attendees. Attendance has since swelled to over a half million people.It is a grassroots, DIY effort for selling Doujinshi, self-published Japanese works. As items sold in Comiket are considered very rare (because Doujinshi are seldom reprinted), some items sold at Comiket can be found in shops or on the Internet at prices up to 10 times the item's original price, and in certain cases, more than 100 times.]

Cosplay:真人秀,角色扮演 Maid cafes:女仆咖啡屋 moe:萌

[Moe is a Japanese slang word. Moe does not have one concrete definition, but is used in a variety of ways. People use Moe as a feeling or characteristic. The term "moe" can be tacked on to the end of any personality trait or physical trait to create a new type of moe. According to Patrick W. Galbraith it means "a rarefied pseudo-love for certain fictional characters (in anime, manga, and the like) and their related embodiments." notes that it is a pun derived from a Japanese word that literally means "budding," as with a plant that is about to flower, and thus it can also be used to mean "budding" as with a preadolescent girl. Since this word is also a homonym for "burning" pronounced moe (燃え), there is also speculation that the word stems from the burning passion felt for the characters. The word has come to be used to mean one particular kind of "adorable", one specific type of "cute", mainly as applied to fictional characters. The word is occasionally spelled Moe, and was originally related to a strong interest in a particular type or style of character in video games, anime or manga. "Moe!" is also used within anime fandom as an interjection[citation needed]. Girls who are moeare called moekko (萌えっ) from the honorific "" meaning "female child".]
