an anime fan watches animes and that’s about it (btw watching bleach/naruto/one piece doesn’t qualify u as an anime fan. my humble 2 cents)

an otaku not only watch animes, he read mangas, buy figures or anything anime related and maybe even cosplay etc.

actually i would think an otaku would be someone who will actually spend money on products and merchandise from his/her anime/manga/game and of course loves this hobby alot, whereas an anime fan probably just watches anime on dvd or downloads them for free, which sadly makes up most of the “otaku” bloggers ie; Watch anime freely downloaded and not buy anything related.

I would have to agree with issa-sa’s definition. As I am also an anime fan, I don’t think we rank lower than otaku. It just means we have a lot more variety of topics to talk about. (Or, we don’t have as much time to watch anime.)

issa-sa > Yea, actually it doesn’t really matter. Although anime fan does sound slightly less crude as compared to otaku.

Anonymous > Otaku with willpower? Otakus with willpower are those who queue for hours in the freezing cold for their favourite comiket doujin shi.

It is everyone’s duty as a human being to give back to society. Anyone who lives as a NEET leech would be better off dead!

And you can still be an “Otaku with willpower” or a “self-aware Otaku.”

I suppose by otaku you mean one who lives breathes eats sleeps (and of course, watches) anime, while ‘anime fan’ would be the more casual type who has OTHER anime unrelated interest in life. In which case, they’re both obviously two different people, though in some cases like mine I flit from one to the other quite easily Perhaps you know you’re leaning more towards the former group when you start relating your real life activities like work/school to anime, lol (am I the only one who does this?). As for which would rank ‘lower’, since it’s just a form of labeling, whether you call yourself an otaku/anime fan/watcher/afficianado, it’s really up to what you feel comfortable as (or what rolls off the tongue easiest :P)
