Hello everyone!
Happy New Year!
And since this is the start of 2016, I would like to post
my idea about a documentary that I would like to do if I ever got the chance to
do so.
This documentary is about the life of an
Otaku --- someone who has a deep interest in Japanese pop culture (especially
Anime). This interests me so much because they have adapted their interests
into their lifestyle---thus there are some elements to them that are not
similar with other types of subcultures or lifestyle.

I also want to focus on how they started
being a fan, what made them to be a fan, when was the time they started
incorporating this interest in their lifestyle and what are they getting from
it (advantages, disadvantages). I would also like to see their social circle,
the interaction happening between them and how they behave outside their
circle. If lucky, I would like to accompany them in a cosplay event or any
gatherings to see other fellow
Otakus. In addition, I’ll also get the
perspective of experts about the topic.
This documentary aims to give an
opportunity for these fans to be heard and understood especially by critics. In
all honesty, liking Anime at an age when you’re no longer a kid is sometimes
looked upon as childish and immature. Moreover, having a vast information about
the culture sometimes labels them as weirdos, geeks and etc.
I would like to do a documentary that will
let the audiences especially the critics to see that this lifestyle is a
preference but not a way to destruct their future. These fans are fans for some
reasons and treating them equal should be kept in mind. I would like this
documentary to uplift the morale of those who are in fandoms and those who are
just following their love and passion in life.
