THE ANIME INFLUENCE

In Japan, Otaku is considered a pejorative word that defines who shoots an excessive way to a certain hobby. The origin of the term takes popularity when the columnist and humorist Akio Nakaori to realize it was a word used among young people who love animals, used it in a manga story of its creation which surrounded the back of a man fascinated by anime and manga Hentais and recreating the stories of raping young girls drawings. This story was inspired by a real killer in Japan, so the term Otaku at the time, was akin to unhealthy obsession, and appointed people who were more obsessed with a certain subject.        However the term had become popular outside of Japan races came the Internet and groups of otaku who identified with each other.       In Brazil, the term was used by the magazine Animax as only a label used by fans of anime and manga in Japan and creates great impact ma together with older fans of manga and anime who knew the true meaning of the term.

The otaku are not necessarily teens, there are also many adults who like to read manga and watch anime. And somehow, these designs end up influencing the way you dressand act these fans, mainly but not exclusively of teenagers.
