7. Weeaboo - Any self-proclaiming anime fan who alienates themselves from their own society and assimilate into the Japanese culture from which they know little-to-none about; using their so-called anime knowledge as a guide, which destined them to ultimate failure in assimilation. As far as anime goes, they know only little. For example, the average weeaboo knows only Americanized anime; preferably uncut with jap. audio and Eng. subs ( E.g. Naruto, DBZ, Bleach, HaruhiSuziyama, Lucky Star, etc...) and memorized every japanese song from their favorite shows. Otaku – Literally means fanatic. Otaku are obsessed Japanese anime and manga fans. (While it has negative connotations in Japan to be called otaku, in America and the international anime community this term is more flexible.)
