Otaku no Video

Otaku no Video main image

OVA (2 eps) | 1991 | Gainax

As a "mockumentary" of an Otaku's life, this anime is a hilarious take on the sometimes weird and abnormal life of an extreme Otaku. Based loosely on the origins of Gainax, the anime intermixes nicely drawn animation with truly strange interviews with "real fans" that segues into a very bizarre SF adventure. Follow a band of Otaku as they blunder their way through hilarious situations on their way to "Otakunizing" humanity itself!
