In the first episode they talk about how otaku can have a negative meaning and that there are many types of otaku. But yeah, they are really just looking for the biggest anime fan. They are definitely not talking about the strange, pervy, awkward old man otaku.
This girl must have lived my story. I found Ayu through a Sailormoon website, and then I found Inuyasha in 2001 because of Ayu
. If she was on AHS I think she would have made herself known by now.
