Resistance is Futile! You will be Otakunized!
A true treat for true fans of any genre, Otaku no Video ("Fan's Video") is an outrageous mockumentary that combines the superb animation that made GAINAX one of Japan's best-loved animation studios with truly strange interviews with "real animation fans." The result is a thinly fictionalized history of GAINAX that segues into a truly strange SF adventure.
Sit back and enjoy as a small band of Otaku (fans) set out to "Otakunize" the human race!
A special limited edition!
AnimEigo's special limited edition Blu-Ray Otaking Edition of Otaku no Video contains both episodes: "Otaku no Video 1982" and "New Otaku no Video 1985", multiple subtitle options, 3 commentary tracks, copious extras, liner notes, mini-poster, new manga, and an exclusive embroidered patch.
