Jup, het was alweer zo ver; het zesde topic is ook alweer vol. 
We worden steeds sneller. Let's rule Quizlet, otaku's! *O*
Je mag hier alles, maar dan ook alles dumpen wat maar met anime, manga of Japan te maken heeft. (:
Wat is in hemelsnaam een otaku?
In modern Japanese slang, the term otaku is mostly equivalent to "geek" or "nerd". However, it can relate to any fan of any particular theme, topic, hobby or form of entertainment. "When these people are referred to as otaku, they are judged for their behaviors - and people suddenly see an “otaku” as a person unable to relate to reality". The word entered English as a loanword from the Japanese language. It is typically used to refer to a fan of anime/manga but can also refer to Japanese video games or Japanese culture in general.

En wat zijn manga en anime dan?
Manga are comics created in Japan, or by Japanese creators in the Japanese language, conforming to a style developed in Japan in the late 19th century. They have a long and complex pre-history in earlier Japanese art.
In Japan, people of all ages read manga. The medium includes works in a broad range of genres: action-adventure, romance, sports and games, historical drama, comedy, science fiction and fantasy, mystery, suspense, detective, horror, sexuality, and business/commerce, among others. Since the 1950s, manga has steadily become a major part of the Japanese publishing industry, representing a ¥406 billion market in Japan in 2007 (approximately $3.6 billion) and ¥420 billion ($5.5 billion) in 2009. Manga have also gained a significant worldwide audience.

Anime are Japanese animated productions featuring hand-drawn or computer animation. The word is the abbreviated pronunciation of "animation" in Japanese, where this term references all animation, but in English, the term is defined as a Japanese-disseminated animation style often characterized by colorful graphics, vibrant characters and fantastic themes. Arguably, the stylization approach to the meaning may open up the possibility of anime produced in countries other than Japan. For simplicity, many Westerners strictly view anime as an animation product from Japan.
Anime is an art form, specifically animation, that includes all genres found in cinema, but it can be mistakenly classified as a genre. In Japan, the term anime refers to all forms of animation from around the world. English-language dictionaries define anime as "a Japanese style of motion-picture animation" or as "a style of animation developed in Japan".

Wil je ook mede-otaku worden, wees niet bang en laat een reactie achter! We zullen een poging doen niet te bijten, al kan ik niet beloven dat er niet toevallig ergens wat vampieren in de lijst staan.

Geef je voornaam door als je dat wil!

Shion/Syll had het geweldige idee om ook de MAL-profielen (My Anime List) achter de namen te zetten, zodat we kunnen zien wie welke anime/manga kijkt/volgt/leest. Dus vind je dat leuk, geef dan je MAL-profiel even door. (: (Of, als je je anime's/manga's ergens anders mee bijhoudt, mag je dat natuurlijk ook plaatsen.)
