Precisely that, I want to know what are some works that have the otaku culture as it's reason for existing, especially (but not limited to) the mid to late 90s stuff.
What are some anime that only exists because of otaku culture?

I mean shit like Hyakka Rouran Samurai Girls and 7 Sins were literally projects made to celebrate Hobby Japan's original materials

That's the most otaku you can get

Lucky Star, Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, and Dokuro Chan are the ones I think of. Granted, I only saw like on episode of the latter and hated it due to the oddness of it. Sadly, I am not "based" by some people's standards.

Otaku no Video.
Thinly veiled recommendation thread.
Daniel Hill
Wow finally an interesting thread, thanks OP, you sure seems smart
Bentley Richardson
Nah, I'm just interested in how otaku affect the industry and vice-versa

The phraseology of this post, and many similar posts I’ve seen in the past, makes me think these are composed by barely sentient esl types, or an extremely rudimentary AI. The fact that this type of low effort OP gets replies and bumps worries me greatly.

Thanks!

I don’t mean to be confrontational for the purpose of being confrontational, but you have to understand, this is a fucking garbage OP. If you actually cared about the subject matter of your post you’d take the 15~ minutes on google to figure it out yourself.
Aaron Peterson
You're absolutely right, I just wanted to post Dejiko within a context
Kayden Gray
Top kek, fair enough then
Christopher Perry
I guess genshiken counts though it's 2004.
Lucky star too.
Sebastian Wood
We've come full circle, based and cringe look the same now.

If you're going to be commenting on someone's English skills, then I'll point out you've used a standard comma one clause after parenthetical commas. I'm not sure the inclusion of that comma was correct, either.

This. Also, almost every giant robot anime ever.

Phraseology=/=grammar. I was criticizing his choice of words rather than his use of them.

It's sad how the modern anime is normalfag as fuck
Isaiah Rodriguez
Most don't bother going beyond basic shit
Thomas Lee
They just don't make anime with an underlying message any more, just pure entertainment.
Colton Lewis
Animegataris easily
Zachary Carter
This. The interviews are pretty sad too.
Camden Williams
It's that there's no passion there anymore. Everything is done by the book. Sure it all looks great but feels so saccharine. Not like the 1990-late 2000s where every anime felt like someone's fever dream and even mediocre show was a wild ride.
inb4 you only like the anime that aired when you were growing up - I enjoyed both vintage shows and some stuff from 2010s, I only stopped watching seasonal shit 6 months ago
Michael Butler
This one is especially fun because it focused on various otaku cultures and not just the kind of "otaku" we know from Lucky Star and other anime
