Otakus probably don't care much about the quality of the rice they eat anyways... so a nice illustration on the package is a good enough differential. It's something like maid-cafes.... the coffee and tea served on those might be very crappy, but the "service" is what really matters. A switch of purpose.

Everybody knows otaku cut down on food expenses to buy other stuff, making your own rice is one of the best ways to keep a low budget. They can just store the rise in another container and clean the bag, nothing to it. I doubt buyers would throw the rice, especially if they're otaku.

I fail to understand this man. I'm also pretty astounded by the popularity of the rice. Female personification of objects must really be a lot more popular than I thought, stretching far beyond mecha-musume and Operating Systems.
