I scored 20,250... Yet I've only watched maybe one or two full series of anime (10-40 ep series, only long series I have, and will ever watch is Dragonball!) in the last 4-5 years, same for buying dvds/manga/figures/expos.

Who knows what I might've scored had I kept up with amassing my collection!

19600 counted at the least .

8240 I was kinda thinking that I would be over 9000, but my score will definitely increase over time.

I figured buying DVDs/BD or other things involving purchasing and not downloaded would be worth more than 1/5 of just "downloading" something. Since the otaku would spend his hard earned cash other than his hard drive space.

I got 13,670 mostly from being obsessed with Naruto when I was younger. Though my score was higher than I thought it would be!

12 455

and lol on the "Has girlfriend" one XDD

28,550... and yet I still managed to get married and have 2 kids LOL

4970

10,800. That's not bad, I guess. But at the rate I collect anime and manga, I imagine that score will rise dramatically by this time next year...or the end of the summer.

I guess I'm FOREVER-ALONE.

lmao has a girlfriend -1000 points

i fear that im somewhere in that forever alone category

roughly 18,000 - 19,000 (I estimated the dvds but it was likely a low estimate...) A lot of these apply to me too. Biggest one was number of anime seen. I'm at about 320 different titles.

I got 18,358!!! I am a hardcore OTAKU but close to a whitebeard lol XD

8610 hmmm

It depends on who you ask. It WAS a negative word meaning a person who has no life that is way too into anime and manga but I like to believe we pulled a yankie doodle dandy on that shit in the US so now to me

Otaku = someone who likes anime and/or manga beyond the casual watcher ...... not that there is anything wrong with watching anime casually. It just seems easier to say "I am an Otaku" rather than "I am really into anime/manga/ect ect ect (vocaloids, figurines conventions, cosplay)" it kind of differs from person to person so I would be an "Anime Otaku" since I have favorite characters, genres, VA's (Voice actors for the US or some people like to call them seiyuu for Japanese subs), and generally spend a lot of time thinking about anime.

I'd like to think the negative connotation is gone but it isn't ............ yet

There is also something called a weeaboo which is a WHOLE NOTHER TOPIC LOL ..... that one I think will always have a negative connotation to it. The gist of it is "I watch anime/read manga thus I know everything about Japan" .... the lines between Otaku and weeaboo can sometimes blur but I'd like to think of myself as an "Otaku" and not a "weeaboo" since I don't love every single thing about Japan ... I just like their anime. .... maybe too much but meh, whatever.

These are all my personal opinions but I kind of think they are good ones
