Basically Japanese for "nerd".
It has been adopted as a description by many anime fans who are either too retarded to realize it's an insult or are so obsessed with Japanese culture that being called a Japanese word is great no matter the meaning. These sub-categories of anime fandom need to get a proper education and get a life, respectively.
I'm so otaku >.< :D :D :D
Shut the fuck up you retarded piece of shit. Otaku is a fucking insult, okay? Learn to read and maybe you'll figure out these "complicated" definitions. Fucking illiterate bastard.

Sometimes used in reference to a fan of anime (Japaense cartoons, examples are the popular television show Dragon Ball Z or Pokemon. *proceeds to stab eyes out with spork*), although actully meaning geek or nerd in Japanese. Think about that, its not very hard to figure out the transition.

Means "Nerd" in Japanese.
People who don't know it call themselves otakus because they love anime and they're addicted to it.
Like weeaboos,for an example,they love anime too much.
This isn't anything good if you're trying to use it when you know its meaning.
What it means is an Japanese Nerd.
He has been calling himself an "otaku" for a half year now. He still didn't realize at all it means a Nerd,in the Japanese genres.

Annoying nerd: in schools there is the chart of ranks baiscly, each person in each year is in a class on that chart, popular kids like the preps and all footballers etc etc are neard the top and it works down to us geeks and nerds. i am in the geeks and nerds section we are baisicly seen as cast outs, we watch cartoons, play massive abounts of games and generally are nerds all around.
Awesome girl: I am aware of sub-culture...I dont need someone like you explaining the obvious to me...you may not be aware of this but I am not a spacker.
