“There are only two types of people in the world--those who became otaku and those who didn't--and the latter just can't understand what the former is so excited about."--Ono Norihiro” Otaku Book:Otaku Spaces Source: Otaku Spaces
“Otaku is a label applied to and adopted by those people who build a culture around anime, manga, videotapes and videogames. Their ideas and values were different from the mainstream, and so they were labeled otaku, or called themselves otaku, to indicate that difference.... In the end, otaku is just a label created to contain difference. --Ono Norihiro” LabelsOtaku Book:Otaku Spaces Source: Otaku Spaces
“Everyone says I am an otaku, but recently everyone is an otaku, even if they just have a hobby. If someone says they are an otaku, I am a little doubtful. --Uchimura Amika” Otaku Book:Otaku Spaces Source: Otaku Spaces
