Sit back and enjoy as a small band of Otaku (fans) set out to "Otakunize" the human race!ĪnimEigo's special limited edition Blu-Ray Otaking Edition of Otaku no Video contains both episodes: "Otaku no Video 1982" and "New Otaku no Video 1985", multiple subtitle options, 3 commentary tracks, copious extras, liner notes, mini-poster, new manga, and an exclusive embroidered patch. Now, let’s see what kind of Otaku exists in Japan! 1.A true treat for true fans of any genre, Otaku no Video ("Fan's Video") is an outrageous mockumentary that combines the superb animation that made GAINAX one of Japan's best-loved animation studios with truly strange interviews with "real animation fans." The result is a thinly fictionalized history of GAINAX that segues into a truly strange SF adventure. Even Japanese government has focused on the promotion of the pop culture as “Cool Japan” policy since 2010. Internationally, the number of Otaku is increasing as those contents are delivered from Japan in various languages. That is to say, people say Otaku just since they are a little more addicted to that culture than other people.


However, the impression of Otaku is changing these days since the Otaku culture has got more popularized by spread of Japanese manga, anime, idols (especially girl groups) and video games to everyone. They were also identified with their typical clothes: wearing glasses, tacky shoes, checkered shirt tacked in, a rucksack and character and girl idol goods with their hands. They deeply familiar with or crazy about something related to computers, video games, other electric devices, rails, etc. Otaku or the word of Otaku was born in Japan about half a century ago, and they had have a kind of negative meaning since then like this: Otaku is geeky but nerd and lame.
