Viewing Notes
Pretty dated look at various otaku in Japan. I figured it was from late 90s but it’s even older. Tends to focus more on the more sexual nature of otaku but given the time it was made I suppose that was a bigger deal. Would like to see an updated account of otaku with a broader range on the subject. This is more of a time capsule but provides an adequate overview for those unfamiliar with the topic.
