Otaku in USA - Part 2
Coal has posted the second part of Otaku in USA with excellent translations.
Comparing these guys to the clip that I just posted below, it definitely highlights the differences between how the two cultures define the role of Otaku.
This clip also highlights the extreme nerdiness that really goes into any obsession. I would imagine that the Japanese would find some of our pre-game football rituals to be as amazing and as strange as the visitor’s obsession with their culture.
Here’s the clip but make sure to go to Coal’s site for more info.
Also, thanks to Rick for making the videos available.
