Considering the fact that my last girlfriend was a French Otaku, and the fact that she is an absolutely lovely person, I think the both of you need to shut your fucking mouths.

Fanaticism is a part of every fandom; anime, sports, sci fi...
I dare say anyone who doesn't understand that is just looking for an excuse to bash someone.

If she was not one of the idiots in the funeral, I do not have to do a damn thing and even if she was, I would like you to come and make me shut my mouth.
The Saiyans are very much like the Klingons and Jem'Hadar.

The funeral thing is a bit of an overreaction. The concept is funny. But actually acting it out, and recording it, its a little ridiculous. It would have been really funny as a webcomic or a short flash animation.

I dare say you're over reacting. So what, some people like the movie. Get over it.

No thank you, when you squint and hold up the peace sign for photos, eat pocky non-stop and use random Japanese mixed into your English you deserve to be called a moron.
However the tern "Otaku" is used loosely nowadays. It's thrown around in situations like "OMG U LOVE YUGIOH AAAAAND DARGONBALL UR SUCH AN OTAKU!"
For the record being an "Otaku" isn't a compliment, it's actually more of an insult that has been severely misinterpreted in American culture.
Maybe it's not a huge insult but I'm really sick of people dancing around and screaming "OMG I LIKE 4 ANIMES I'm SUCH AN OTAKU!"

So is it weird that the Madman store's clothing is called "Otaku Wear?" Doesn't that mean they are basically insulting people who wear them?

Can't we all just get along?

Clothing for extremely obsessive fans...yeah I'd say so although once again over here calling yourself an Otaku is the trendy hip thing to do.

There's still things in the movie to talk about. Once this thread gets closed, I doubt it will be the last Evolution thread.

I don't think there's much need to lock the thread... this doesn't seem like a disagreement that will go too far. I mean, it's already gone too far, but I mean, not one that will last a long time. Just overreacting from both sides, too be honest.

Stuff like this ain't worth getting upset over.
Let's all hold hands.... here on the forum.... 'coz we've been stuck here in the dark for way too long!
