Mr. Oni said it best:§_Akuma_§ wrote:ummm, in Full Metal Panic, if you watch the sub version, they say "otaku" all the time and it translate as "fan boy", now is this just an error in translation (god i hope not) or what? im not trying to prove anyone wrong, just thought i would mention it since it poped in my head
Keyword here is "super obsessed." Again, it's not a compliment or general statement..it's an insult. Watch Otaku no Video and then you'll know.Mr. Oni wrote:Anyway the best translation for Otaku is super obsessed Fanboy of any subject. For example star wars or militaria. The word wasnt even used that much in Japan until Otaku no video came out.

*sighs* I know how you people feel about the word Otaku. I feel the same way about the word Konichiwa. People using it at night and morning...Grrrrr...I hate it when people use a japanese word when they fully don't know the meaning. They think Konichiwa means hello. IT MEANS MORE THEN THAT YOU OVERGROWN ELEPHANT HUMPS!!!!!!!!!! *hyproventalates*

If you know the meaning of the word "Otaku," and have never taken a course in Japanese and aren't a native of Japan.
Given, I have taken Japanese so I guess I'm half way out
