Well the specific meaning is a more polite version of Anata (you) like when you're talking about the other person's family or such. And I heard the little kids are using otaku as someone obsessed with
anything
But yeah, otaku has become a word for anime obsessed people. And I mean like anti-social, never seen the sun; the works.
