Otaku Stuff

Hao again ^^;
Not sure if Michael is an Otaku himself, though we all know that he's really into Apple and Mac stuff. I myself am a devoted Otaku when I have some free time (which seems to be lacking as of lately) and bought some animated films (if you don't recognize them then I think you need to reevaluate your otakuness!), as well as many video games, some of the hotter titles you probably know about (read: Final Fantasy) as well as some manga.
If you're ever in Japan, buying used (the yellow 中古 -- chuuko sticker) otaku stuff will prevent you from shelling so much cash on all the stuff that you want. Japanese folks take really good care of used manga particularly, so don't worry about it. On manga, you can save about 50%, but the amazing part is that older classic games go for peanuts in Japan. If you're as much a Super Famicom / SNES fan as I am, definitely go to Akihabara's Super Potato, you won't regret!
Any otaku's around here? ^^

Otaku reporting here. Yeah, now that I'm living in Cyprus, man, it's really hard to get my hands on anything - though, last weekend I was strolling around the shops in the city and I actually found a couple of really good anime dvd's (yeah, man, even hentai) and even a couple of figures - I almost fainted, just didn't see that coming.
So I should hang around a little more, maybe there's more than meets the eye.

@Ragnar, you've gots teh internetz! There are a few European online stores you can use... However, seeing them in a retail store is much more fun^^
Ragnar
@yonasu, Which store do you have in mind? I've found a couple of ones but maybe you know something way too good.

Please, PLEASE! Tell me that one video game is Shenmue?!
One of my favorite games ever!

@Seantaku, Yes, it's Shenmue of course, for about 100 yen! (about $1USD -- yes, $1USD)

Michael Flux
Hao, to answer your question, not really. I mean I enjoy anime, once in a blue moon read some manga but beyond that... nothing more really. Like I don't collect figures and other such things religiously ^_^'

@Michael Flux, don't worry, you'll get there :P
Snark
Is that Nausicaa? Because if that is, I'm going to have to fly to wherever the hell you live and french kiss you.
Hao
@Snark, yes, Nausicaa and Totoro ^^ Mononoke and Howl's Moving Castle were amongst the purchases too
