So guys... do you guys know many femal Otaku?
Do you even date one??
I got a otaku-girlfriend, she also draws doujinshi.
Shes more like a doujin-otaku.
I'm an Anime, Manga & Game Otaku.
What Otaku-types match the most?? i really wonder...
your turn.
i think being an otaku is ok as long as they dont get too annoying. i consider myself one but i dont go around travelin in packs talkin bout how awsome naruto is(narutards ftw!?!) and bla blah. but i think its a good thing to be proud to a certain degree. ;O
Recently I found someone that likes anime at my junior college but I don't really feel like I can connect to him with meaningful conversations because all he likes is pretty much anime he has seen on TV and Shonen Jump magazine. I have a broad knowledge of all kinds of anime so it's kind of hard trying to relate to him.
I think the problem here is that these kind of people, as well as narutards and whatnot, are beginner anime fans. But I think they are also not willing to go outside their usual anime watching preferences and expand their mind with different genres.
Narutards aren't real otaku in the first place, they're mainstream wannabes.
It's not as bad as meeting a decent looking girl that you connect well with, only to learn that she's going out with a weaboo you've had problems with in the past.
Na ja. If not for said weaboo, all the other geeks I get along with wouldn't gather at that same place on campus every day.
It's a vicious little mixed blessing...
I think it would be pretty cool, to meet a otaku girl at my college, I my self watch anime and read manga pretty casually nothing crazy, I don't have a room wall to wall with figures or anything. Then again I have got friends who were not into anime at all and because of me they are now fans. So heck I'd be fine to just meet a girl I can get to like anime, I'd be a super plus to find a girl who's as big a One Piece fan as I am but, I am probably never gonna happen.
You have a much better chance of finding a female One Piece maniac than a female Lucky ☆ Star maniac, but that's just a guess.
>>174 one piece? yuck! Lucky star!!! lucky star!!! lucky star!!!!!!!! How do i type the star symbol? I = female. you're probably right though... I've met more girls who like one piece than I have who love lucky star ... and those were my age :( and i'm college aged lol
I'd be afraid to meet anyone who liked Lucky Star and wasn't aware of context. (that it is an empty marketing campaign for haruhi)
I would say it's an empty marketing campaign for (insert almost anything here.)
im engaged to one.. and she's pretty hot as well. it's like a living paradox in western society. She's into the classic stuff like Berserk, Vampire Hunter D; that sorta thing
Hidamari Sketch is the best slice of life I'd seen for a while. Minami-ke is currently battling it in my mind.
I don't know any otakus, with the exception of myself.
type "hoshi" in hiragana mode, then search the symbol with the space button
Why should I do this Anonymous? Will you pay me, or give me candy?
>>185
Y'see the thing that has the number 176 next to it in that post? You click it and it refers you to a different post.
If you'll notice, you'll see she was asking how to get the star symbol people typically use when typing out Lucky Star.
It's not that hard of a concept to grasp, really.
i know a lot of female otaku, just lucky i guess
176 here :)
an empty marketing campaign? really? are you sure? [L.O.L] doesn't stop it from being adorable and funny.
hidamari sketch is still on my list of things to check out.
>>183 thanks!
you son of a bitch nigger women disgust me! Anime female rules!
I think female otaku like mangas which have boys love.
I don't know that much...
In Japan,women who like boys love
are usually called "HUJOSHI"
It means corrupt
in b4 fujoshi
Otaku is for retards. If you actually like anime you don't need to act like a otafag who munches on pockey and draws animu all day.
No real otaku draws animu. That would be a useful skill.
Uh, dude, >>195: Pretty much everyone who "draws animu" is a raging otaku.
I find it hard to meet female otaku where I live. Its a shame, I would love some company. >_<
I think I met one at the cinema the other day.

where i am, female otaku arent all that uncommon. well, i guess thats an exaguration. there are a few of us, but we have quite the oposite problem
there seems to be a general misconception that female otaku like "real food" and "nice clothes"...as well as that they dont like hentai. I will voice against that, while i might be alone on this one. Yuri, Yaoi, Hentai. Its all anime, along with the furufuru shojo type. As for the real food thing, why spend money on food when you can have manga, anime or pirated pocky? [the real stuffs much to expensive]
I guess my sister is semi-otaku. Japanese food, a few animes. That's about it.
>>204 i wouldn't call that otaku, just...posibly a fan? not even that.
Yeh, I guess it doesn't really deserve the term.
This whole conversation is moot
Everyone knows there aren't any women on the internets.
Go back to 4chan, idiot.
...I get this shuddering feeling there are only like...5 people who even bother with 4ch.
I am prettymuch an otaku I guess. But not in a bad way.
My girlfriend and some of her friends are otaku. Kind of. Otaku, but with no way of obtaining much stuff. She owns some manga, but she lives in a place where Japanese goods are somewhat rare. But she is practically otaku lol. Her problem before finding me was finding another guy like her, who was in to the whole japanese media/anime/manga/etc. stuff lol. So we're a perfect match. ^^ I love her. She's amazing.
>>210 Congrats! Good luck on your relationship!
my GF is otaku,japanese and is a maid-con HURRAY
>>213 if you're telling the truth, I hate you so much and give me your girl.
I know a lot of female otaku, but I don't have much in common with most of them because I'm not one.
But right now I has a crush on a /b/tardess.
>>212 Thank you! It has gone quite well so far over the last 2 years. ^_^
>>217 You're wrong. ^_^ Very wrong. I've seen female otaku with my own eyes that aren't ugly at all lol.
But really now, are all male otaku incredibly sexy? They're usually ugly/fat too lol. Yet there are normal ones too. geez.
Though notice how 2D female otaku are almost always cute. The artists might put a flaw in somewhere in an attempt to make them less cute, but it hasn't worked yet.
>>217.
Female otaku here.
Thin, and at least reasonably attractive. Maybe the misconception that there aren't any/many good looking otaku out there comes from some of us not being obviously otaku. I certainly don't hide it, but I don't announce it... you'd be unlikely to suspect i was an otaku just looking at me or having a casual conversation.
ITT self-deception
Whenever I go to a convention though, the ratio is something like 1 cute to 9 ugly.
>>223 You're a lucky one. They never number more than a handful where I am. More like 1 passable to 9 (ohgodmyeyes)ugly.
Well when I say cute, perhaps 95% of the cute ones are also underage. :-(
>>225 You'll have to wait for them to grow up(or grow ugly) :-(
You don't even want to know what lurks around Sacramento's anual Anime con....shivers or do you? XD
This was no ordinary otaku girl...this was a fat lady in her 30-40's+, who cosplays prettymuch any character with a short skirt or school girls.
She's usually found bending over in front of cameras. >.>
What's worse, is she was one of the staff, and runs the cosplay skit session...shivers I think those dimply-chunky legs burnt out my eyes and ruined every character I ever seen her cosplay.
(not to mention her face looked like the witch from Wizard of OZ.)
>>This was no ordinary otaku girl
That's no moon.
Alright, so I'm seeing a distinction here between Otaku, Weeaboo, and two other things that have no name.
Otaku = Knows Japanese terminology and anime as if they moved to American from 2CH land (slight exaggeration, obviously), who are otherwise mentally stable people
Weeaboo = Japanophile = Eats pocky/gets keychains/gets excited about anything Japanese for the heck of it, but never really attempts to learn any of the various aspects of Japanese culture or sub-culture in detail
Unnamed = Fan? = Individual who enjoys watching some anime, reads some manga, might know some Japanese (or be fluent), but isn't a philiac and has a somewhat normal interaction with the world (even if they may be the shy/reserved/anxious type, though this person may also be otherwise socially normal)
Unnamed = Cultural Interest in Japan = Isn't really into a lot of anime or manga, mostly enjoys Japanese culture, history, etc.
Can we get some terms defined here?
You are much more my kind of girl. I don't know what this would be called according to ^, but if there's a typeset, I want it.
Ie, Girl with varied tastes who can appreciate style, is at least decently intelligence, and has a decent level of grammatical concern.
lol hiya everyone ^^ im new to this forum. this thread made me laugh when i saw it! b/c i know several girls that r into anime ^^.

may be you can be more friendly with female otaku"Fujoshi"
When you buy BL book from Japanese shop and give it to them.
Or take her to Otome road.
Otome Road? If they like BL they prefer Okama Road. Amirite?
Welcome animegeek!!

any girls are OK! I don't ask if she is OTAKU or not! I need girl! I wanna make love! I wanna have my cock sucked! I love human hole except anal one! I can't stand anymore with my fuckin' crazy donut! I will give you every money I have! Suck me please! Could you mind making me suck you please miss! Please! PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZE
Somehow, this necrophilia is completely acceptable.
i'm a female otaku
Currently I don't know any female otaku. But I do know a lot of female narutards.
>>243
Narutards are common nowadays... Especially in fangirls
omg saskay <3
Hello, my girlfreind is kinda an otaku like me but she claims not to be she just thinks shes a fan-girl. She loves anime,shota,yaoi,games,manga you tell me
You+are+so+wrong+dude,+I'm+a+female+who+loves+eroge+and+hentai+(with+my+husband)+and+buys+manga+and+figures+with+all+the+money+left+over+after+things+required+for+life+(sorry,+I+don't+spend+100%25+but+I+don't+live+in+my+parents'+basement+like+you+do!).
I never heard of any Fujoshi that wants Otaku as her boy friend.
will be good if I ever meet any of em in RL though.
I don't understand why being otaku is cool...
My girlfriend and I watch anime and play alot of games, but I don't think either of us would call ourselves otaku. More like just... nerds. Same basic thing but with less association to unwashed weeaboos.
i KNOW a ton of female otaku heck i room with 3 at the convention here last year and gonna again this year but i will admit none are my girlfriend and im still single but hey that can always change....i hope T_T
I'd say I am a female otaku.. I know other people who read manga and watch anime, but they are nowhere near as obsessive as me. I'm a manga otaku, more specifically shojo manga. Though.. I don't really like the term Otaku. It's like being called a geek; It's an insult!!
I am also technically a fujoshi.. as I really like reading shonen ai manga. >_<
lol shoujo is great and shonen too both have good and bad ones so i cant complain about either and im more obsessed with anime than anyone i know too XD
..............hey isn't an otaku...a boy??...in japanese??
What would life be like without animanga lol...I wonder would most people actually go out more...but I'm happy now and would never want it outa my life lol...anyone think the same?
>>256
Otaku is just a word in japan for obssessive geeks, normally talking about gamers or anime fans. Not really gender specific as far as I know, but the stereotype is that they're male.
>>257
Argh, a life without manga would destroy me. I'd be sitting at home in my room, staring out of the window all day. Manga is my escapism and my obsession!! >_<
as long as she's kind at heart, don't see a problem
>>257
Life without manga would destroy me. Not only the physical hard copies missing would suck.. but also online translations!! I live for online translations!! They are my source of life. How could I live without my weekly updates of shoujo manga and my shounen ai downloads? >_<
> How could I live without my weekly updates of shoujo manga and my shounen ai downloads?
Honestly?
>>258
sen i want to chat with you <3...got MSN?
>>262
Is the question directed at the shoujo bit, the shounen ai bit or the fact that i can't live without them in general?
Either way, yes. Honestly. I spend almost all of my spare time reading manga online. They're a major form of escapism for me.
I'm a romantic at heart, hence the shoujo and shounen ai in preference to shounen manga. Not that I don't like shounen.
I'm currently reading liar game, for example.
>>263
Sorry, but no. Plus.. even if I did have MSN, why would I post my address on an anonymous bulleting board where everyone can see it?
¬_¬
Come on, Basic internet safety.
>>264
Thanks for telling me. Not that I would have given my address out anyway.. but still, thanks!
I used to date a female otaku, she was quite attractive too. Every friday she'd come around my place and we'll watch some anime but because she wanted to go home early, about 4pm, I only had about 3 hours with her a week, barring the anime club we met at we didn't get far and broke up a few days after her birthday.
Thinking about this I should post this in the romance board since I want some advice so I'll keep this version short. Most female otaku are either fat or not used to relationships. Admittedly so are men so it's hard for both genders to stop being ronery and discuss how kaiji is moe. The only way I got with her was her non-geeky friend to say "She wants to date you. I gurantee it."
