this is a pretty cool thread you got here
i wouldn't class myself as an Otaku. I love anime/manga/japanese cinema,i collect tons of merchandise,i cosplay and i am attempting to learn the language but i'll happily admit there os WAY too much I don't know to be able to call myself one...but I am learning,more of an Otaku in Training (can we call it that? it sounds cool lol)
there's one problem,I live in England and although manga and anime are starting to get really big over here a lot of people are still in the dark. i'm starting to get sick of the phrase "anime? isn't that japanese cartoon porn?" still,at least i've got the forum so i can talk to people who know what the hell i'm talking about when I say Gundam or Ichigo
