Does Otaku count also for games? I think it does...I wish I was fluent in Japanese. That way I can play their games AND enjoy whatever text and story it had also. (And no I'm not talking about just Erogs)

I was aiming for 40 but went at only 35.
So I'm only an anime lover.....

Calculate your score. Each question answered gives you five points. Start being concerned with your lifestyle when you get more than 50 points. Because that's the sign that YOU. MAY. BE. AN. OTAAAKKUUU....

Points (maximum out of 100):
10 - Anime Watcher
20 - Anime Lover
40 - Serious Anime Lover
50 - Junior Otaku / Wannabe Otaku
60 - Otaku
80 - Professional Otaku
100 - Otaku Pope

I got 45 on my own test. I'm eeeh. Pretty close to being otaku.
Thanks everyone for your entertaining feedback! As I've sort of predicted, most people on CR are anywhere from 30-60. The Distribution is a little skewed to the lower half, but that's okay since this test isn't a serious one.
This test is for fun and not necessarily an accurate assessment of you being an otaku!

Oh yeah, feel free to add onto the list to determine if you are an oootakuuu....




I know you are -.- with all of those u wrote.. nyway that's too long to read XD not an otaku srry i dont eve nknow what that means
