OTAKU USA x FAMITSU: "Otaku World Culture" explosion

Hear ye! Hear ye!  The long-awaited fruit of the most recent, and certainly most wall-shaking, collaboration between Otaku USA and Weekly Famitsu is on sale now! The 9/24 issue of Japan's venerable TV Game magazine offers readers a trip through "Otaku World Culture" via the results of the 2009 Foreign Otaku survey and special contributions from the OUSA staff. The Famitsu spin machine is promising a thorough look at the "rich and realistic" lives of Western otaku and gamers.  And since YOU supplied the raw data, this epic celebration of international-brotherhood-and-understanding is very much yours to enjoy as well!

Gosh, I haven't seen the issue in question yet and wasn't privy to the editorial side of the feature aside from contributing and wrangling up images and data. I'll be sure to follow up unless someone else does first.

In the meantime, here is a *real gripping* conversation about the use of the word otaku!
