Otaku
A word that simply refers to people with an obsession for anime, video games or anything kinda like those things. Has developed a taboo because often times otakus are seen as the scum of japanese manga society. This taboo has been reinforced by otakus committing mass murders, rape and other crimes. In america to some people it is known as simply a fan, which for the most part it is, but also as an unhealthy obsesser. In japan their really isn't quite as much taboo since a huge portion of society reads manga, probably about 80 or 90% of males between age of 5 and 40 read manga on regularly. Even their Prime Minister, taro aso, who is an avid manga reader, refers to himself as an otaku, so really it isn't meant to hav any negative meaning.
Example:
Oh yeah hes an otaku
oh.... better make sure he doesn't get a gun
naw dont worry hes not one of those hes just a big fan
ohh... ok... but really make sure he doesn't get a gun
Oh yeah hes an otaku

ohh... ok... but really make sure he doesn't get a gun
Otaku
The Japanese word "Otaku" is the meaning of a nerd. Later on, people such as the anime fandom use the term for people who watch anime. The reason why they put otaku as a anime lover because back in the days, people use to make fun of people who watch anime and call them "weeaboo" but then they called them selves "Otaku" so that they can hide the shame of being a weeb.
Example:
Sora: "hey dude what's up?"
Minori: "Nothing much Sora-tan b-baka, but I just got a SUGOI collection of anime! I also got a body pillow of my favorite waifu UWU! I love my waifu Chizuru so much, aishteru Chizuru-kun~!"
Sora: "Your such a fricking weeaboo bro-"
Minori: "YAKAMASHI, ITO SHIZO, I'M NOT A WEEABOO OR ANYTHING BAKA; I'M A OTAKU! A PROUD ONE OKAY Y-YAMAETE KUDASAI~!"
Sora: "hey dude what's up?"
Minori: "Nothing much Sora-tan b-baka, but I just got a SUGOI collection of anime! I also got a body pillow of my favorite waifu UWU! I love my waifu Chizuru so much, aishteru Chizuru-kun~!"
Sora: "Your such a fricking weeaboo bro-"
Minori: "YAKAMASHI, ITO SHIZO, I'M NOT A WEEABOO OR ANYTHING BAKA; I'M A OTAKU! A PROUD ONE OKAY Y-YAMAETE KUDASAI~!"

Otaku
From the literal translation of the word toku, meaning "house. In Japan, Otaku means somebody with an obsession. From anime, manga, vedeo games, computers, to things from train sets, stamps, spoons, ect.
In the 8o's, Otaku was used for a Japanese case where an obsessed fan murdered a voice actress for not sounding th way he invisioned his favorite character.
Otakus in Japan tend to be under-weight with poor hygen and little to no life outside of their obsession, i.e. only leaving outside of their home for their care or additions to their collection of what they are obsessing over. Thus, having their society look down upon them.
In the U.S., fans of anime and manga tend to mix up Otaku for "guru", or master. A large amount of the fans of products of Japanese entertainment tend to view Otaku as a good thing. Otaku, in the West, normally means "fan of anime/manga/video-games".
The "otakus" of the US. tend to be over-weight, have poor hygen, and have little to no life outside of their own obsession.
People in the U.S. tend to make jokes about "otakus" and their Western version of "Comic-Book Junkie" to live in their parent's basement while obsessing with their collectables.

Example:
I am such an otaku because I love manga's and Kishimoto-chan!
Yuu only leaves his house in order to get a new train set... He must be an otaku.
The Otaku had murdered the voice actress because he did not like her portrayl of his favorite character.

Otaku
Someone who will never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever get laid and are a social fucktard. Honestly, if you have to beat of to an anime girl you should honestly just die because your life will always suc. And for God's sake move out of your mom's basement!!!!
Otaku
Someone (such as me) who has an extreme love and obsession with Anime, Manga, Japanese Video Games, Cosplay and anything that has to do with Anime in general.
As you may notice most people define Otaku as someone who has nothing else better to do with their life but sit at home and watch/do the things I have listed above. Which is NOT true. We Otaku have many things to do, wether it's watching Anime or stressing over if our Cosplay is going to get here in time for the next Convention/Expo, I can assure you it is over infinity times better than what most of the people that say those things do. Which is most likely sitting at home eating them selves to death because they wish they had something to do.
And to note that in a previous definition of Otaku, that person said that the word "taku" means home and that that links to THEIR so-called definition. If you know Japanese at all you would know that Otaku (おたく) means "Geek" or "Nerd", which clearly shows our (being us otaku) love for Anime, Manga, Cosplay, etc.
I made this to show my love for Anime and to stand up for the TRUE MEANING OF OTAKU!!!!!!! >:O
