Japan Editorial Review

"Otaku: Japan's Database Animals” provides an in-depth exploration of the Otaku culture, analyzing it from a postmodernist perspective without the flowery language and obscurity of French philosophers. The author presents his "database animal" theory which has a more extensive application beyond the Otaku culture. However, some readers found the writing style to be lacking and hard to follow. Overall, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in Japanese fan culture, postmodernism, and critical theory."
