Anime is awesome!  The Japanese culture has created so many examples of both computer and hand-drawn animation that Americans love.
Anime is really interesting. I wonder when it first came to America. 
I'm not certain when it came to America for the first time, but the earliest commercial Japanese animation was created in 1917!
Wow that was a long time ago. Do you have a favorite Anime? 
I'm not certain that I can name just 1.  I love them all, and some have even called me "Otaku", due to my crazy interest level.
Interesting. Does Otaku refer to someone who loves anime a bunch? 
"Otaku" really just means that you have an obsessive interest in something, but its definition has changed over time.
Neat. Did the word arrive when anime emerged? I really like Dragonball but I'm not sure I'm an Otaku. 
The Otaku subculture really began in the 1980s when people began to realize that such obsessive fascinations would result in becoming a social outcast.
Makes sense. I bet having a term like that helped fans rally together into a community of sorts.
