OTAKU -- OED word of the day

otaku, n.

[‘Originally in Japan: a person extremely knowledgeable about the minute details of a particular hobby (esp. a solitary or minority hobby); spec. one who is skilled in the use of computer technology and is considered by some to be poor at interacting with others.’]

Pronunciation:Brit./ə(ʊ)ˈtɑːkuː/, U.S./oʊˈtɑku/

Inflections:Pluralunchanged, otakus.

Origin: A borrowing from Japanese. Etymon: Japanese otaku.

Etymology: < Japanese otaku (1983 in this sense), literally ‘your house, home’ (in formal speech also as a 2nd person pronoun: see note) < o-, honorific prefix + taku house, home. With the respectful metonymic usage, compare Mikado n.

Japanese otaku is also used as a more formal and polite 2nd person pronoun than the usual anata. The term apparently arose amongst certain manga and anime fans in the early 1980s, first as an affectedly formal way of addressing fellow insiders, then as a noun referring to any member of the subculture, and only later acquired pejorative connotations when it was taken up by media commentators. Compare:

2002 S. Orbaugh & S. Buckley in Encycl. Contemp. Japanese Culture at OtakuIn Japan, the word has connotations similar to ‘nerd’, or, worse, is even sometimes used to suggest an obsession bordering on psychopathy. Outside Japan, however, the term otaku is used for the most part positively among manga and anime fans to designate the true aficionado.

The earliest occurrence found in an English context is in quot. 1990

in the Japanese coinage otaku-zoku ‘otaku as a class’ [ < otaku + zoku], which did not gain general currency either in English or in Japanese.

slang.

Originally in Japan: a person extremely knowledgeable about the minute details of a particular hobby (esp. a solitary or minority hobby); spec. one who is skilled in the use of computer technology and is considered by some to be poor at interacting with others.

[1990 Asahi News Service(Nexis) 15 Mar.The otaku-zoku are distinguished by their deep interest in specific hobbies or subjects..to the exclusion of other concerns.]

1991 San Francisco Chron.(Nexis) 4 June a13SDF [sc. Self Defence Forces]? That's otaku (slang for square or nerdish)... Only country boys join the SDF.

1992 Asian Wall St. Jrnl.(Nexis abstract) 24 Feb. i. 12/3Otaku are homebodies, mostly men, in their teens and twenties who tend to pursue such solitary pastimes as playing computer games.

1992 Face Oct. 60The otaku are socially inept, information-crazed, often brilliant, technological shut-ins... They relax with sexy manga or violent computer games.

1994 Asiaweek(Nexis) 21 Dec. 38There is also the special type of fan we call otaku—trivia freaks who pride themselves on knowing everything about their favorite subject.

1996 W. Gibson Idoru xii. 88The otaku guys at my last school were into, like, plastic anime babes, military simulations, and trivia.

2008 M. Ortabasi in M. W. MacWilliams Japanese Visual Culture 277Genya..is also a gendered cultural problem, one of recent origin. Defined in relation to the object of this obsession, he is the Otaku.

Feeling a million things for a one Yashiro Taku as of late... I don’t even know if I can put it all into words. It’s 2:30AM, I have a 10AM client tomorrow, and I am working pretty much solidly through until 7PM. I really don’t have the time even to write all my feelings out.

But well...I’ll write them out anyway, ‘cause I don’t know if I’ll be able to sleep otherwise lmfao

I’ve been feeling kind of stressed and anxious and also kind of lonely and depressed the last couple of days, but I’ve been hanging in there... by listening to old Murashiro radio episodes, and listening to or watching other miscellaneous Taku-related content... which has resulted in a massive influx of feels, haha.

I guess it’s to be expected, though... It’s probably been a little under a year since my last massive Taku phase. I kind of rotate through my top three every few months, but for a long time I just was never really in the mood for Taku content, so I had started to wonder if I’d maybe finally ended my Taku phase...

Well, never fear @ self LOL I guess I will never get over him (thank god) lmaooo

I think at this point I’ve come to realize/understand the things that keep me coming back to the same three seiyuu over and over again; they each offer something different, but each of those things are either important to me or things I admire/wish I had in myself, hence why I end up following three instead of sticking with one.

With Taku, his positivity and earnestness have always stood out to me. Of course, his visual specs are incredibly high, and I’ve always found his smile to be as clear and bright as the shining sun on a cool autumn day... But when it comes to his skills as a modern-day seiyuu, watching him at events and listening to him during radios, it’s clear how much of a forward-facing, positive person he is, and how much he applies that to his work. He’s always striving to be better, to learn more, to perfect his craft, and after all these years, it really, really shows. His earnestness too is a strong point I’ve come to notice and appreciate over the years, and it goes hand in hand with his positivity, combining forces to become his strength. One could also say he’s tenacious and patient, always biding his time, quietly studying his peers and absorbing his surroundings when no one’s looking, so that he can become the best version of himself.

Naturally (as a voice actor), he’s always had a lovely voice, and his voice acting skills have always been decent, but over the years his acting really and truly has improved. His voice has always felt warm to me...something that vibrates comfortably inside of my soul and warms me from the inside out, but also carries a kind of brightness and lightness to it...almost like a top layer? I don’t really know how to explain it, but it’s just a voice pitch and combination of tones that I absolutely love. In the end though, as much as I love his voice, the thing that always ends up standing out the most for me when it comes to Taku has always been his character and personality, particularly the way he connects with his peers, his colleagues, his characters, his works, and his fans. It’s the warmth of heart, the earnestness that he puts into every aspect of his work that really makes him shine for me, and I really appreciate the warmth I always feel from whatever he does.

Probably the main things that stand out to me now in terms of like...concrete technical skills are of course his voice work, but also his conversational skills. Listening to his radio programs, or watching/listening to when he guests on other programs, or when he’s hosting events, it’s plain as day how much he’s grown and evolved. Really, his many, many years of working in the radio industry with bayFM have truly paid off. He’s become such a good listener and such a good reader of the room, and he always has good things to say, be it serious, full of warmth, or lighthearted and comical. I think this aspect of his technical skill has probably been what’s grown the most, and I’d like to think is perhaps something that has also become a part of who he is as a person. But, that last bit is perhaps just my own wishful thinking, haha.

In terms of his actual voice work, he’s really improved and polished his craft. He freely and flexibly uses an impressively wide range of tones and voices now. The depth of emotion he can convey with his acting has gotten better, too. He’s not typecast into the same sort of roles all of the time anymore, which is also always a good sign, and he’s consistently been getting into series that are either quite popular or are long, on-going franchises. Even if they’re not for the main character, the fact that he’s in them and always returning is a good sign. Then there’s his skill with character songs... He’s gotten really, really good at them. Every character he has, he manages to sound just different enough that you can identify the character and feel the difference in personality and tone. Before, perhaps due in part to often getting typecast into similar characters, so it perhaps felt harder to feel the difference, but these days, his range has become quite impressive, even when it comes to his singing. It’s awesome, honestly, to hear the wide range of voices he can use now.

Back in January, he proclaimed on a show he was guesting on that his wish for 2020 was that he would be striving to become his final form, or the best version of himself, so to speak. I really and truly think he’s taking that to heart and hit the ground running in 2020. It’s been a spectacular year when I look back at all that he’s done and continues to do this year, despite the setbacks the pandemic may have caused. Naturally, the previous couple of years were also insane for him (what with everything that led up to the photobook and all lol), but it seems this year he’s finally been able to make huge strides in his actual line of work, which has been fulfilling to witness, as a fan.

For many, many long years now I’ve felt kind of bad that it seemed I only liked seiyuu with pretty faces... But of my most recent and longest-running (4-5 years now) trio of favorites, Enokiya proved himself to be full of acting talent (and not to mention also full of passion for the technical skill and art of acting) the last few years, and continues to impress and climb ever higher. Shugon has always been something to behold when it came to music, and then finally at long last he had his artist debut. And so that left Taku... who I really wondered if I really did only like because of his face. Those couple of years (2017~2019), there was so much focus on how much of an “ikemen” he is, that I doubted myself. I knew deep in my heart I ultimately liked his personality and his natural speaking voice first and his acting second, but even still it got hard trying to defend myself when he’s so handsome, haha... Granted, it shouldn’t matter what other people think, but it feels nice to see more and more tangible growth now on the actual seiyuu side of things that I can share with others in a way that doesn’t have to take away from his credibility as a seiyuu. (’:

That all being said, I still appreciate a handsome face, suave moves on stage, and cute antics, and I know there ain’t no shame in that. Taku’s still the number one little devil who can totally murder me at moment’s notice whenever he’s on stage, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Just check out his live performances when it comes to SideM and B-PROJECT... you’ll get what I mean. (;

About Sword Art Online Alicization War of Underworld:

“And so the grand finale of the Alicization arc begins…”

The final load test… The war between the Human Empire and the Dark Territory has engulfed Underworld entirely. The battle has shifted course with the Dark Territory army led by Gabriel, who seeks to capture Alice, the Priestess of Light, in their fight against Asuna and the Human Empire forces fighting to save Underworld.

As Kirito’s consciousness remains buried in a deep sleep, Gabriel, standing in as the Dark God Vecta, has recruited thousands of American players to log in to the Underworld to annihilate the Human Empire forces.

In this great war, the stakes are not only the Underworld’s continued existence, but also the bottom-up artificial intelligence, the ultimate AI, and even the very future of mankind!

Though he has yet to awaken, only one man holds the fate of this world: the Black Swordsman.

gundam ibo rewatch for the orgamika, shinoyama, mcgae

at first i was gonna make an orgamika manifesto (a why ship orgamika?, type of thing) so i rewatched ibo, but then it devolved to just me flailing about and compiling all the orgamika per episode, then the tracing of how/when did mika/orga’s goals changed, then all the shinoyama, then mcgae, then galigali...

but i’m posting anyway, so i don’t forget to finish it eventually lol

this is part one, bec i’m only up to s1e19 as of now:

s1e1 - 1st scene is when mika, after killing someone, presumably for money based on orga's orders, asks what he needs to do next // next scene is mika waking orga up w/a smile, SMILING MIKAAAA // shino tries to discuss girls w/Mika, only to be shut down. also, they explicitly say that mika's not interested in girls // mika pinches eugene's ears off when eugene fights w/orga // orga talks w/ossan & tells him that he can't be seen as uncool, while ossan correctly guesses/adds "by mikazuki...?" - it's correct because orga smiles lol // during the fight, mika reacts when orga finally takes command // mika's dynamic entry has been timed / coordinated by orga // first mention of the "we'll go to somewhere not here, to someplace where we truly belong"

s1e2 mika learns that piloting barbatos can fry his brain, and he says it's ok bec he doesn't use it anyway // during their initial strategy meeting as to how to betray CGS, orga says that he forgot to call mika (is he assuming mika's already tailing him?!), tho he tells them that if mika is against his plan, then they won't push through. shino & eugene are confused, tho orga says that mika won't go against it anyway, because if orga shows his serious, mika will surely respond to him // when mika sees orga beaten up, he LAUGHS and calls orga an "iro otoko" pffft // mika also smiles when he quotes orga re: living instead of dwelling over comrades' deaths // when orga tells mika that there's a job he'd like him to do, mika agrees before orga's finished, taking the gun // when orga teases him that he doesn't even get the specs of the request, mika says he'll listen, but he'll do whatever it is anyway, if orga's already decided on it & orga thanks him for that //

s1e3 pretty domestic scene of orga & mika hanging out in the engine room, while mika eats his favorite; he offers one to orga, tho orga declines --- and they're apparently chilling just before they plan on killing off the CGS higher ups // mika acts as the bodyguard during their coup // when crank appears, orga simply calls out to mika and asks if he "can do it" while mika answers "sure", and everyone's confused, so orga clarifies that he asked mika to kill crank // mika tires of the discussion w/crank and just tells him that orga told him to kill him // mika smiles again when he says that 'tekkadan' (a name that orga decided for their new group w/o any input from others whatsoever, to eugene's annoyance) is a nice name

s1e4 mika shows disinterest in the talk about the future

s1e5 when atra asks them in public to be hired as the cook, mika doesn't react - orga has to prompt him (so i guess orga, like everyone, KNOWS that atra likes mika, while mika's more or less oblivious // also as a sidebit, yamagi asks shino if he likes girls (not if he likes girls *only*, mind) and shino says sure lol! //

s1e6 orga watching over mika & takaki & co learn how to write // and mika ofc reacting to orga's presence // orga & biscuit's convo about orga being so risky - to which orga replies that he feels that mika's eyes are always watching him & asking him as to what to do next & what kind of WAKUWAKU thing he's gonna do // and that he always wants to be the best and coolest in front of mika (cue biscuit's unimpressed look lol) // and we learn that mika was looking for orga // and then mika says that he prioritizes reading/writing so he can help w/mobile suit maintenance AND THEN reading books about farming // cute banter about being tired // orga says that while earth is far, they'll keep on moving forward AND THAT THEY'VE FOUND THEIR PLACE // mika says that orga's decided on it already // orga says that they'll make mika's dream come true //

s1e7 mika being so calculating lol // mika's watching orga as to how he'd react to naze & orga's watching mika back before he decides to do the crazy thing // when naze generously offers to take on tekkadan under his wing and have them work (separately), mika says that he doesn't want everyone to be separated - it's all orga needs to turn down the very reasonable offer // (also omg that shinoyama moment ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)

s1e8 mika was... down? after not winning against lafter, but he does cheer up once he hears about orga's raid being successful, so // and mika does consider himself not doing a job well done, he's mopey on top of barbatos even when orga praises him // when orga tries to dissuade him from that thinking, mika still pushes on with the "i need to do better", orga relents and says that "he needs to be better too" // mika reveals that the reason he tries so hard is because he doesn't want orga to have a reason to ditch him - though orga says that there's no such thing as ditching when it comes to family (orga does get embarassed as he says this tho lol)

s1e9 during kudelia's moment of (in)decision re: her half-metal/mars independence movement, mika tells her that she HAS to decide, because her entire future will depend on her decision. this is a parallel to his decision to follow whatever orga decides on (he even says that this is a moment like the time he first killed someone - implied to be that one scene they keep on flashing back on). something noteworthy here is that mika says that it's a decision that must come from the person itself (which should shoot down any 'orga led mika to being his puppet' theories) // orga just looks on worriedly at orga getting carried away at the treats and at drinking // and then mika ends up just rubbing orga's back after he (presumably) throws up // and the way mika jolts after merribit intrudes lol and his reaction as merribit goes away // also, the translation is kinder - orga literally calls the handkerchief STINKING (not just smelling) like a woman // mika just stares at the drunk orga and says that it's the first time he's seen orga like this // but then mika SMILES when orga babbles that the reason he's so HAPPY is because he finally made a family for tekkadan // mika taking care of the drunk orga again - he's so worried about orga catching a cold, he even drapes his jacket on him; such a cute "taku" there too! // when mika and biscuit talk, mika asks if it's okay that he DIDN'T OPPOSE with the decision (that he didn't make, and not up to him to make) without asking orga // though the 99% of the time they were talking mika was looking at the sleeping orga and not biscuit, how rude // "thanks to orga's guts, we can continue to dream" // (also yamagi sulking after shino's night out lol and yamagi sulking even more when shino appears and is all sexed up) // mika, i caught that stare at orga's clothes // and mika being happy at sharing a kanji with orga;;;; - and thanks naze, for unsubtly pointing out that the kanji (that mika likes!) mika and orga's names share means "oneself" // naze foreshadows that orga should not lose this "self" in his character (so if he loses it, it's still w/mika, and vice-versa...) // after the ceremony, mika calls orga cool lol and orga apologizes for worrying mika;;;; and mika smiles again at orga

s1e10 ossan teases mika about being sad as he's left behind, but mika just admits it lol // and the conversation between shino/eugene/orga... where orga says that he doesn't care for women (women are just fucking betsu ni for him lol), then as they squabble, orga says that he's fine w/the family he has with tekkadan

s1e11 not a lot of orgamika, as the episode focused mostly on akihiro's plot & the gaelio/mcgillis in the middle

s1e12 shino being a bro to akihiro (and mika being a badass by saying outright that he'll try to go easy on his opponent, but he'd kill them if he's in trouble)

s1e13 mika continuing not to mince words to shino // mika looking so unimpressed w/the funeral rites & he doesn't cry when everyone's crying // shino finding yamagi to thank him about the funeral flowers & then yamagi refusing shino's request to make the fireworks again when he dies (though he said it in such a tsundere way tho, just admit that you hate the idea of shino dying already) // also, mika just kisses kudelia after he says that she looks cute after trying to comfort him (hc that he does it so cleanly because he's practiced in doing that lol)

s1e14 mika just goes on as normal after that lol, poor kudelia's so confused // kudelia's side-eyeing mika, but mika's just staring ahead/at orga

s1e15 during the Dolt coup/kidnapping fiasco, orga first checks in on mika's condition instead of y'know, they're client, kudelia // mika being so overprotective of atra and biscuit (mostly atra bec she's the one who's tortured) // also, orga's dynamic entry doesn't surprise mika at all despite hte lack of planning, but biscuit's all surprised

s1e16 not much gay haha;;

s1e17 when they decide what to do re: escaping to the elevators, orga asks mika for the decision, which mika cycles back to "i'll do what you decide, but seeing them getting beaten isn't interesting" // when shino launches, yamagi gives him a video call (as opposed to orga previously just giving him a voice call) and tells him to take care, and shino replies/refers to the funeral flowers again and says that yamagi will not need to make those for him this time // also, when mika recognizes gaelio's voice, he just goes, "you're chocoman's..." lol // also, GALI GALI

s1e18 dat gaelio/ein moment - gaelio proving that he's BEST MAN //

s1e19 such pure gali gali omg // also SHINO trying to console eugene saying that if eugene fails, they'll just think it's good ol' stupid eugene and won't blame him for sending them to their deaths lol // also eugene character dev't!!! // tho shino just laughs at eugene's akogare for orga lol // also, gaelio reminiscing about the past & how carta fell in love at first sight for mcgillis // "the place they truly belong?" "what kind is that?" // amazing + plenty of food + beds, but orga tells him that they won't know what it is untilt hey see it // if i follow you, orga, i'll see lots of things i never have //

#athina's ramblings #like a lot of ramblings what #gundam ibo #gundam ibo spoilers #orgamika #shinoyama #mcgae #orga itsuka #mikazuki augus #just a reminder that mika's stated to not be interested in girls in EPISODE 1 #and that he uses wakuwaku to describe the things orga commands him to do #also galigali is the purest everyone go home #oh and mika & orga share oneself kanji in their names bruh #gundam: tekketsu no orphans #gundam: iron-blooded orphans #this series has so many fucking tags what
