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.

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.
