I have been working for 2 months now, but I have never dared to tell anyone that I like watching anime. In today's society, some anime should not be offensive to people, right? But there are always some that are not... What kind of works do you think people who are caught watching are otakus? Like "Pretty Cure" or something like that?

Nowadays, most otakus like to watch school-themed animations, right? If you are old and still watching high school students, you are definitely an otaku. So starting from "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya", any work set in school is not suitable for ordinary people to watch. Also, you said Guangmei? Those who can watch that movie are not ordinary otakus, right?

This is definitely a case of everyday yuri, like "Would you like a rabbit today?" To be honest, when you watch such a work, you might as well look in the mirror and see what kind of face you have in it. It will probably lead to self-loathing. In addition, all works for children cannot be watched, anyone who watches them will be a otaku.

There are a lot of cute girls appearing, this is the characteristic of otaku works, right? On the contrary, in recent years, many rotten girls have a higher social status, and not many people would find it strange to chase after people like Osomatsu all day long. In addition, idol-themed works are undoubtedly the favorites of otaku, such as "Lovelive!"

I think if you are over 18, watching any animation is like being a otaku...
