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!

AnimEigo's special presentation of Otaku no Video contains both episodes: "Otaku no Video 1982" and "New Otaku no Video 1985."

  • Considered the "Bible" for true Anime Fans.
  • Character designs by Kenichi Sonoda (Bubblegum Crisis, Gunsmith Cats).
