otaku Mug
The term "otaku" seems to have been introduced to anime fans in the US and other countries via Studio Gainax's "Otaku no Video 1985," a self-parody film. Otaku, meaning probably "venerable house," refers to someone who has a devotion to a subject or hobby (not necessarily anime) to the point of not leaving home. For instance, an otaku fan of a particular movie star could quite possibly know all of the films s/he has been in, their birth date, time of birth, shoe size, favorite toothpaste, etc. Generally speaking, calling someone an otaku in Japan is an insult, implying that their social skills have atrophied or never even developed, due to their manic involvement in their chosen fandom. In America, the term is used to denote a zealous fan, usually of anime and/or manga. Due to its introduction to most people's vocabulary through its tongue-in-cheek use in Gainax's film, "otaku" tends to have a much less dire definition overseas. When dealing with Japanese people, however, it may be best to keep in mind the modern Japanese image of an otaku -- Someone who only leaves their home to eat or shop, if at all, with an overwhelming and unhealthy obsession about something. It can as easily refer to a stalker or sociopath as it can to a harmless anime buff. Best to avoid the word altogether if one is not sure of the context in which it will be received.

This mug was a Father’s Day gift for my dad, and let me tell you, it is the greatest mug ever produced by humankind. Not only does it have a simple, minimalist design on it with my father’s name, but also the witty definition on the back that perfectly describes him. While he only uses the mug to hold his pens, I’m sure it would act perfectly fine with any sort of beverage in it as well. Urban Dictionary, let my just tell you that you have sent me the finest piece of art I could have possibly asked to hand over to my dad. Thank you, and I’m sure I’ll be purchasing another one of these fine crafted mugs some time soon. To whoever is reading this, have a nice day, and enjoy your summer.

Great mug! Customizing was great!
why i want this mug i want this mug because I LOVE JUDE :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
Great as a little joke gift! But a little on the pricey side for a coffee mug. If I didn’t love the person as much as I do, I would probably never spend that amount on a normal coffee cup.
It is perfect. I purchased the mug aa a gift and the recipient loved it!
It’s so good and can hold my coffee all day long !
My favorite mug ever
Small cup printing is well done.
It's perfect. Just what I thought I would be getting. Love the definition on one side and the "phrase" on the other.
