Hmmm....

I think the term Otaku is used differently in the West than in Japan.

My language buddy describes Otaku as guys who are into anime/manga/video games, who can't find a girlfriend and who are just all round, anti-social losers.

Whereas I believe people in the West call themselves Otaku if they are simply into anime/manga/video games but aren't necessarily losers.
