Explain OTAKU culture for oversea followers.

KirimiSakana/切身魚 @Kirimisakana

To take an example, the difference "for boys" ANIME and "for girls" one is clear in Japan.

KirimiSakana/切身魚 @Kirimisakana

It is based on the needs from the character business: VIDEOs, CDs, Books, and more goods.

KirimiSakana/切身魚 @Kirimisakana

Some anarchic OTAKUs, as I was, ware sensitive to those commercialism. They ware tend to enjoy an opposite side contents.

KirimiSakana/切身魚 @Kirimisakana

Not exactly intentional, but somehow they think " I have a good sense to distinguish real good one...

KirimiSakana/切身魚 @Kirimisakana

Even if I am out of its purposed customer."It may be a revolt against adults. How complexed feeling young OTAKU had!

KirimiSakana/切身魚 @Kirimisakana

It should be emphasized that such a consciousness is came from my background.

KirimiSakana/切身魚 @Kirimisakana

After 2000 period, the genders in our culture became more loose. I feel.

KirimiSakana/切身魚 @Kirimisakana

Being more loose and widen its range of watcher, ANIME is our best favorite culture in Japan.

KirimiSakana/切身魚 @Kirimisakana

My father whom age is 63 and his granddaughter(my niece) whom age is 5 are watching "The Beast Player Erin" at night before some day .

KirimiSakana/切身魚 @Kirimisakana

They enjoyed the program, and think about it differently from their own background.

KirimiSakana/切身魚 @Kirimisakana

The most important thing is that they can talk in same topic as we can.

KirimiSakana/切身魚 @Kirimisakana

Families in oversea(non Japanese) are shareing their interests in some kind of soap-opera. It is surprise to me.

KirimiSakana/切身魚 @Kirimisakana

It is similer to some kind of Japanese ones, too. I guess the number of them is less than other country.

KirimiSakana/切身魚 @Kirimisakana

Two reasons are given to explain.First, educational adults are expected to share interest with children.

KirimiSakana/切身魚 @Kirimisakana

ANIME is "traditional" contents in media. Easy to talk about and have an educational lesson.

KirimiSakana/切身魚 @Kirimisakana

Variety show highlits this tradition constantly. When TV show starts, a cartoon becomes a puppet show with stuffed figure.

KirimiSakana/切身魚 @Kirimisakana

Some of manga chenged into character show with "headgeared player".

KirimiSakana/切身魚 @Kirimisakana

Parents(grandparents, too) who want to be more educatonal are tend to watch "more educational" ANIMEs than "commercial" ANIMEs.

KirimiSakana/切身魚 @Kirimisakana

Well, there's no choice to "do not watch TV with cildren". It is considered an incommunicative non-educational attitude.

KirimiSakana/切身魚 @Kirimisakana

Second, the ANIME and manga has a good-enough quality. "Pokemon the movie" is the best blockbuster in summertime vacation.

KirimiSakana/切身魚 @Kirimisakana

For example, "Ghost in the shell(GIS)" is considered to have deep philosophy. The TV series of GIS are high quality animation "for adults".

KirimiSakana/切身魚 @Kirimisakana

I'm sorry to exclude the weekly animations. They are not worth to this reason because its picture quality and obvious commersialism.

KirimiSakana/切身魚 @Kirimisakana

They have another value for us, even they are made for selling goods.

KirimiSakana/切身魚 @Kirimisakana

Even in Japan, narrow-minded people think that adults shouldn't behave openly as OTAKU.

KirimiSakana/切身魚 @Kirimisakana

I feel the prejudiced people assult to what they hate in technical way. They think it is "good" for children and youngsters.
