August 02, about 1 hour ago. The "Otaku Murderer" case gave a negative connotation to the fandom from which it has not fully recovered.
The usage of " interest otaku ", however, is used for teasing or self-deprecation, but the unqualified term remains negative. Otaku were seen by law enforcement as possible suspects for sex crimes, and local governments called for stricter laws controlling the depiction of eroticism in otaku materials.
Not all attention has been negative. In his book, Otaku , Hiroki Azuma observed: "Between and , the otaku forms and markets quite rapidly won social recognition in Japan", citing the fact that "[i]n , Hayao Miyazaki won the Academy Award for his Spirited Away ; around the same time Takashi Murakami achieved recognition for otaku -like designs; in , the Japanese pavilion in the International Architecture exhibition of the Venice Biennale Biennale Architecture featured otaku.
In , the word moe - one of the keywords of the present volume - was chosen as one of the top ten "buzzwords of the year. This study suggests that the stigma of the word has vanished, and the term has been embraced by many.
Akihabara also has dozens of stores specializing in anime, manga, retro video games, figurines, card games and other collectibles.
In Nagoya , students from Nagoya City University started a project on ways to help promote hidden tourist attractions related to the otaku culture to attract more otaku to the city.
Some terms refer to a location, such as Akiba-kei , a slang term meaning " Akihabara -style" which applies to those familiar with Akihabara's culture.
Otaku often participate in self-mocking through the production or interest in humor directed at their subculture.
Anime and manga otaku are the subject of numerous self-critical works, such as Otaku no Video , which contains a live-interview mockumentary that pokes fun at the otaku subculture and includes Gainax 's own staff as the interviewees.
A well-known novel-come-manga-come-anime is Welcome to the N. Works that focus on an otaku character include WataMote , the story of an unattractive and unsociable otome game otaku who exhibits delusions about her social status.
An American documentary, Otaku Unite! The Nomura Research Institute NRI has made two major studies into otaku , the first in and a revised study with a more specific definition in These values were partially released with a much higher estimation in , but this definition focused on the consumerism and not the "unique psychological characteristics" of otaku used in the study.
NRI's study also put forth five archetypes of otaku. The first is the family-oriented otaku , who has broad interests and is more mature than other otaku ; their object of interest is secretive and they are "closet otaku ".
The second is the serious "leaving my own mark on the world" otaku , with interests in mechanical or business personality fields.
The third type is the "media-sensitive multiple interest" otaku , whose diverse interests are shared with others.
The fourth type is the "outgoing and assertive otaku ", who gain recognition by promoting their hobby. The last is the "fan magazine-obsessed otaku ", which is predominately female with a small group of males being the " moe type"; the secret hobby is focused on the production or interest in fan works.
Other classifications of otaku interests include vocaloid, cosplay, figures and professional wrestling as categorized by the Yano Research Institute.
Yano Research reports and tracks market growth and trends in sectors heavily influenced by otaku consumerism. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
