Another Place to Watch America's Greatest Otaku Outside America

Just in case the previous link may not have worked for you here's another link to watch episode one.

I'm still looking for episode two, so a link to it will be up as soon as I can find it.

America's Greatest Otaku

Just a few minutes ago, I was searching for otaku communities on Live Journal, and stumbled upon Anime North's page, which had an advertisement from TokyoPop about "America's Greatest Otaku".

TokyoPop's looking for the most die-hard otaku in America! Is it you? Reading the part where it said, "Do you have what it takes?" I thought, "YES, I DO!!!", taking a look at my room. After second thoughts, I took it back.
Here's why.


Die hard - otakus:


  • have anime posters plastered all over their walls and have very little white space left. 
  • have an enormous collection of manga. 
  • Watch anime as much as possible. They use their free time for watching or reading anything otaku. 
  • Go to Japan. 
  • Etc, etc. 

I: 
  • have one anime poster (That'll grow sooner or later though).
  • have a moderate sized manga collection. (In my view. Other otakus might consider it tiny. If you're wondering, I'm at 56 mangas and an anime fanbook right now. I think. I have to count again later.) 
  • I've been to Japan once when I was eight, but I was just passing through the airport. 
  • Etc, Etc. 


You can find more of those Die-hard otaku characteristics here. Be warned, this is a very old site, from I think 1998. This quiz has to be the most detailed "How Otaku are You?" quiz I've ever seen in my life. Back when I first read this, I didn't even know what a seiyuu was!


At heart, I think I'm still a die hard otaku. I just need money and access to an otaku empire. T^T


Getting back, you can watch the episodes here. I can't watch it on this site, since it's only available for viewing in the US.


More information can be found on their website. The grand prize is a trip to Tokyo!


I'll have to find it on another site. If it were in Canada, I know someone who would make an excellent candidate!




EDIT: I found episode one that people outside America can watch!
