When confronted with the spectacle visible here, even 2ch’s main anime board quailed and wondered if the room’s owner might not better rethink his life…
2ch surmises from some of the texts visible in his shelves that the occupant is studying or working with patents and public works, so the inhabitant may be far from a family dependent NEET, not that this is exactly reassuring.








Hell...oo
ando heaven!
I can tell you something for sure: that room is not fire prof in any way...
If that guy smokes, is life is at stake...
Judging from this picture, this guy
- Can play music(he has a keyboard, some scores and some guitars/bass). For the guitars/bass, maybe he is just another K-on fan, but I think he can play keyboard
- Has money(he as a big ass LCD TV and PS3, not to mention the TV can be from Sony)
- Fap everyday/night
honestly, i don't mind living in a room like that, except a fact that no one can come into that room, so this guy may not have any GF right now, but if he feel comfortable surrounded by 2D girls, there is no need for 3D bitches anyway
This all boils down to personal taste. If he can support his lifestyle and it makes him happy why in the world should anyone else care what his room looks like.
Hmmm *nod*
All I can say is, this is just another area to spend money in. What does it matter if he wants to spend oodles of money on anime-chara goods? Its just another option of choice to splurge on.
Examples of other options: Cars, shoes, clothes, books, games, consoles, toys, drugs, weapons, guns, knives, swords, antique goods, relics etc. etc.
This guy may of gone a little overboard but if he did it because he liked/wanted to, thats fine with me and i applaud him. Only problem with excessive spending on things is if you're doing it to impress other people and only because its the 'in' thing to do. Thats just stupid.
Sir, I applaud your percieved dedication.
I envy this man...
well said Kortaku
if he's happy
Fuck it!
Anonymous, this is unlike you. More trolling plz.
... Why are people so sure that people like that *points to owner of the room* will not have a girlfriend?
Not all girls are against this. I, for one, wouldn't mind living in there.
(And I'm pretty sure I'm female.)
I liek you already, anon @ 12:17.
"Pretty sure" meaning that you are not 100% sure, meaning that there is a slight glimmer of a possibility that there may, or may not be a penis in your your pants.
ITS A TRAP!!!!
My Anon-copter goes troll~ troll~ troll~ troll~ troll~
Burn baby Burn!
Its On Fire...
"Pretty sure" meaning that I know I'm a girl unless for some unknown reason these boobs and the lack of a package down there are fake.
I am 100% girl, thank you very much. I like my feminity.
^ I (being 100% female also) completely agree. I mean, look at those guitars for one (Yui Les Paul Gibson and Mio Fender Bass ftw!
LET'S ROCK!!!
Wow! I have posters on my walls to but not to that extent. And wouldn't want to go in there coz I'd have no idea where he'd fapped. (^w^)/
GAO...!GAI...!GAAAAAAR!!! Nice way to turn it around Anon 4:40!
he must be a professional otaku
I cannot live in that room.
...but only because the chances are too high that I might accidentally step on and damage something.
EPIC WIN Anon for the GaoGaiGar reference
I just noticed that some of those posters are pinups from the most recent megami magazines....
I swear this room is perfet for some Where's Waldo?
Replace Waldo with an anime character in this case.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT.
That's epic.
HELL
YEAH

C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!

can someone add that up for me ? xD somehow I think I beat the last record breaker lmfao
adds up to infinity
I was surprised that the calendar wasnt anime-chara good related...
Lol... me too..
What are you talking about! Mitsubishi is an anime! Mitsu-BISHI!
That's what I said, "What's up with the calendar?" You'd think that would be one of the first things to be replaced.
Take out a the excess posters and that's an awesome room.
Excess posters?
thats what i thought..... its just a normal room (+fridge) with too many posters...
That room looks quite fine if the posters would all be taken off and instead stored as a book or such. There's no need to stick them everywhere. As long as you've got a computer you can get your anime girls pictures at any time =)
instead of hanging up a bunch of posters he should hang up a bunch of monitors so he can keep changing the pictures anytime all the time :3
most of his poster are up to date or recent anime, suggesting he replaces them when they get old
just look at all the wasted space in the corners there's room for all kinds of stuff there
I don't know whether to be jealous or disgusted by this room. But if 2ch is asking you to rethink your life about because of the massive amount of anime in your room, then maybe you should.
^
Still gotta love those Horo,UBW,and Index posters.
hmm I'm jealous of his self confidence that he actually dare to make his room look like ( assume he does not have appartmet as its a fridge in his bedroom). I for one could never do that unless i had a double lock on the door and a security camera on the outside of the door to make sure none stands outside when i open the door
I wonder if he's brought a woman back to his room yet.
Not willingly.
Also, I'm disgusted with this man.
He can clusterfuck his room with posters and yet I don't see a single model kit on his shelves.
What a wannabe.
agreed.severe lack of figures as well.
theres a gundam model box...
evidence that he probably tried model kits but it wasn't for him
NO SPACE FOR FIGURES OR GARAGE KITS
If he invested half the money he spent to make that room, he'd have a substantial Ita-fund building up.
Posters are relatively cheap, so it probably didnt cost him the same amount as filling it with models or figures. I say around 500$ at the top end, for that room.
well he does have some guitars and a synth,.. so he's probably awesome.
yea.. the room does seem overboard but it is notable that posters take up a lot of space each, so in a way you could call it the "budget" way to achieve an otakuish room. Also, I may be wrong it seems like many of those posters are actually from Megami(magazine), so that really cuts down on the price because each volume doesn't cost much and has many posters.
If you strip the room of the posters, I'd think that it would look just like a regular room. Exceedingly so
I think it's from SEED, thus lowering my opinion of him as it is.
Melon Pan's room was crazier I thought. So many figures..
But Melonpan isn't with us anymore... :'(
His Burogu crashed long ago and he didn't want to go on - PLUS: I think there was more, when he ripped off his posters and so on..
Well now, I hope, he will have a naisu taimu with his waifu, getting some lolis instead of figures.. ^^ We (German-speaking-Otakus) miss him though..
http://austrianotakulife.wordpress.com/2009/06/11/meidocafe-jp-rest-in-peace/
meh, once an otaku, always an otaku. Those who fall from the light are weak willed; truly.
His clusterfuck of posters is impressive though, there isn't really a single space of white on the wall, it almost seems like his walls and ceiling was already made out of posters from the start.
Ya trollin'?
I was an otaku for like... 15 years, and I only amassed around a dozen figures/kits. Not enough surface area to spare for them, and they don't really... DO anything. My walls looked like this in high school though.
But really, why buy a $200 figure when you could buy 20 $10 tankoubon?
because 200$ figures are usually well sculpted.
but 10$ tankoubon are usually well written.
$200 figure? wtf? My most expensive scaled figure was $80. :P And that was in Canadian dollars.
Normally I'm not so disparaging about the human condition...but this chap needs help...
...
...
or a bullet
when otaku on 2ch say you have a problem, then there must be something really wrong with him.

LET! THIS! FUCKING! MEME! DIE!
I say C-C-CCOMBO BREAKER!
The nice thing about posters is that they're cheap and make you look like more of an otaku that you really are.
The lack of posters and huge shelves of DVDs or manga show that this isn't actually that impressive.
That doesn't mean I'm not jealous though..... I don't even have enough for my ceiling...
all you need is 20 or so issues of megami to have enough posters to cover the entire room..
I spy... Primula from Shuffle!
yeah his room is one of the great rooms for a I spy game of anime.
imho hell O_O
finally someone with the sense to buy a proper, playable RIGHTHANDED j-bass.
Rethink his life? There's mostly poster in there, not the usual shelves of figures. If anything 2ch needs to rethink their lives.
he should rethink about having a bottle of soy sauce in the living room
I really hope I'll have enough money to afford a room like this one day. It's practically my dream, and it makes me study hard.
I would give everything for a room like that, and fuck, it even has guitars.
I'm so envious, but at the same time impressed. Very beautiful.
aim higher. namely more figures and guitars.
It's nice to have dreams.
It's nice to have dreams... wait WHAT? Your goal in life is an otaku room??? Can't you at least dream of something more... like 2D VR or real combat-capable gundams?
I would say I'm in despair but the phrase has become too much of a cliché around here. The abuse of perfectly good quotes that turns them into overly used memes has left me in... oh damnit.
that dream makes "i want to one day live in japan" seem ambitious
Most people who "want to live in japan one day" cant speak a word of the language.
I can't live in that kind of room. There are eyes EVERYWHERE!!!
Most of those posters are from Megami and Nyantype magazines, so the amount of them isn't surprising. What surprises me is that he has put like very single of them on his walls (and ceiling, most likely there are a few on his floor too). I bet he isn't even fan for most of the series, he just likes to look at little girls.
Impressive room nevertheless.
Also, what the hell G.A Megami poster? Want.
Maybe he had a huge stack of those mags when he went to live on his own and did this to save money on paint and wallpaper.
And since when does 2chans opinion matter much? 2chan makes /b/ goers look like gentleman.
"Also, what the hell G.A Megami poster? Want."
Same here~
At first glance, this room looks pretty crazy, and I guess it is, but the longer I look at these pictures the more I realize that this person here seems to have limited him/herself to printed works. Dakimakura, posters, and magazines.
If the collection included a batshit of figurines and merchandise as well, then... that would be another story altogether, as figurines, especially, are much more expensive than posters, most of which you can get as extras in magazines.
I'm not jealous, some of those posters are nice, but a lot of them aren't. I have posters in my own room, but I've chosen all of them carefully, since they'll tell all my visitors what kind of person I am, and then I don't want something tasteless on my walls.
At least this person seems to be a student. And a music-enthusiast? That or K-On-fan... but I suppose that can be out ruled, since there are no K-On!-posters on the walls.
he does have a bass similar to mio' and a guitar similar to yui's..if they're not cheap clones they'd cost a bit.
im sure we've all known someone at some point who covered an entire room or garage wall with cut outs from porn magazines or bikini pictures
I agree, too many posters but not enough figurines and merchandise.
Maybe he's a K-on fan but he doesn't have enough space to put up a poster?
i think i saw 3 K-On posters but they arent easy to find
OMG, I want that room!!
Don't see the problem with it...oO
Just think: when you want to beat off or shlick to your heart's content, you will be doing it in front of thousands of eyes that never, ever blink. They are always watching you.
That reminds me, I used to work at a morgue.
Legally, I can't tell you any more than that.
Ewww!
I concur with that, i don't see the problem with it.
It's just a massive amount of posters. And posters themselves don't cost alot of money. I mean if he had a shit load of manga, figurines, and other items then there may be something wrong.
How do you sleep in that room...
...with a thousand eyes staring are you at night.
hugging Hatsune Miku... <3
1)Turn out the lights.
2)lay down and hug dakimura.
3)Enter sleep and enjoy wet dream.
lololololol
how does an otaku afford all this stuff?
The posters are about two bucks a piece, maybe less even. He doesn't sport the amount of DVDs or mecha models or figurines that I've seen others have. The only remotely expensive thing in the room might be the bedspread and his flatscreen.
Apparently this neet is letting his parents work as he does nothing letting them pay his rent and give him pocket money to buy this stuff.
read article foolish mortal
Cause they don't buy $300 designer jeans every week...
OH SNAP!
he also doesn't spend money on a girlfriend, whom he probably replaced with that pillow
I guess they don't blow their money on cars,cloths,and other things.
I'm jealous but disgusted
cluttered....
quiet neat i say.. everything is so organised
the bass isnt even a genuine fender. this guy's not that rich after all...
Genuine fender bass guitars are not that expensive so spare the guy for it, that fake gibson sunburst on the other hand...
oh..looks real to me.. i see "epiphone" on the headstock.. =P
otherwise, please enlighten me..
All those posters are way to much, I don't think I'd put posters up on the ceiling.
But there really isn't much else to the room except posters?
So I'd say hell.
Holy fuck, I couldn't sleep in a room like that with all those eyes looking at you!!! ;>.<;
I want his Taiga-chan and Minorin pillow ~ 3 ~
It's awesome untill the person get's a boy/girlfriend ._.
they never will get a boy/girlfriend, hence the reason for the disgusting clutter... he never has and never will have anyone in there for "romantic" purposes
thats not an issue of concern, none of these people are ever going to get a girlfriend.
+1
I would date a person with a room like that...
just EPIC
wish my room was like that =)
this guy's room is the best. it's the ordinary person's room that is more ridiculous, the way we surround ourselves with things we don't care about
Do you know how easy and cheap it is to wallpaper a room with anime posters when you subscribe to Megami Magazine? Because that's where they're all from. After just a few issues you have enough to cover your room.
K, so he has 100 posters.
Needs 100 DVDs, 100 figures, and an Xbox 360.
I see he has a BC PS3 at least, and dual monitors.
Are there any windows?
Can you imagine what that room would smell like if it caught fire?
burnt 2D pussy
Who cares what it would smell like? The question is would you die along with these posters or escape and live an insomniac life because every time you fall asleep you see those eyes in agony and hear their respective voice actresses scream with pain.
the lesser otaku of 2ch are jealous
Guy needs a high-definition TV and custom-designed computer.
A real woman has never entered any of those bedrooms
wow that is awesome i need to start buying posters like that but i cant seem to find a good site to buy em
I love anime and i watched lots of anime before but i dont get how otaku get all work up over them. i mean for one thing i wouldt waste $100+ on a anime figurine and buy stuff that appeared in the anime
Now I don't feel as bad about my room being over run by gunpla
when i was a teen i used to have my room decorated like that, but back then we had plenty of playboy centerfolds
to do the task.
He can be....THAT bad right? like...come on, look at all those guitars he has, that must earn him SOME cool points.
I got the same small table just in black. :D
What an epic room...
PS3 yay!
Not a single figure...my room is way better. The same amount of figures that he has in posters takes much less space. Arranging them is easier too, I doubt he sees the ones on the ceiling too often.I see my more important figures whenever I want, as they are placed around the computer and monitor.
Holy shi~ Bamboo Blade poster, with Satorin in green lingeries...!!
I'll say Heaven..
a real otaku buys 20 copies of that issue and covers his room with only that poster
Is that even a question? It's obviously Heaven, now we just need to add a Harem.
Kitch hell.
EPIC ROOM
A bit of both Heaven/Hell
Hell.
Heaven for me would probably be living in the city from Appleseed and have a landmate.
What's with the x-box hueg pill bottle in the lower right corner?

This be Heaven :O
Let's rock!
And the loneliness continues...
What an amateur, only Megami..
My 150 Dengeki Hime + Moeoh posters combo is a lot better to eyes.
He probably doesn't get a whole lot of visitors.
Overkill. It's far too cluttered to be able to enjoy any one individual poster.
Overkill. It's far too cluttered to be able to enjoy any one individual poster.
100% LOSER!
We already know what you are, no need to reiterate.
My eyes!! All this shining stuff is making me blind!
that RX-78-2 looks so out o place.
he was like "maybe i should give garage kits a try..." then totally forgot about it later on
he probably also thought to start watching gundam and not harem shows all the time and then abandoned that idea too
It is neither hell, nor heaven. It is another world. He or she, well we know that "she" is out of question here, has quite a good taste. There is Miku pillow, Taiga pillow, and a lot of very nice posters from Megami Magazine. There is a lot of recent posters and goods from recent series, which makes me think that this decoration of the room has been done in a short period of time.
If I put up all the posters from Megami I have, I would get a similarly looking room.
Its possible he/she puts up the newer posters replacing older ones as time goes on.
I want that Misaka one piece bathing suit poster >_<
Still better than suicide!
He is an honorable otaku. *applauds*
Heaven, this guy is definitely a god in my book
It's still better than suicide.
Some people just can't get anything else.
Geez. I'm all good for collecting things and decorating your living space, but...wow. This is sort of scary. Not to mention that it's so cluttered it doesn't even look good.
Even though he has a lot of stuff..he actually keep it pretty clean..now that's some feats...I know most of us out there has a really messy room....even the ceilings..haha I got to give it to this guy.
I would so want to live in there
I wonder what he'd try to save first if his room caught on fire..
His ass!
Wow. I have posters on my walls to but not to that extent. I wouldn't want to go in there. I'd have no idea where he'd fapped. (^w^)/
Woah! A futon... that's like a dakimakura!?! I didn't know such awesomeness existed...
Sistine Chapel!
hmm well if it really gets banned its a good thing i know how to draw and i havent drawn in a while maybe this will inspire me to.
if anything these articles that are posted are stimulating me and making me want to fap to my loli collection of manga.
aw fuck posted in wrong article , a first kind of fail like this. :b
Pfft, nothing compared to my walls. All of mine got transformed into giant collages.
Also I see he has that shitty Star Wars manga on one of his shelves..the art in that makes me cringe.
https://www.dynamicforces.com/images/starwarsmanga1signed.jpg
Every surface in his house is his "My Pictures" folder.
This is...a reality marble?
「ご覧の通り、貴様が挑むのは無限のポスター、 変態の極致、恐れずしてかかって来い!」
why the fuck are you writing in japanese on an english board, are you trying to extend ur e-penis or something
fuck...
gotta collect it all...
Spend that Yen!
I don't have a problem with what I see.
At first it may seem shocking, but all I'm mostly seeing here is printed posters - they're relatively cheap and can be easy to obtain.
So I wouldn't really call it a "hell" per se. There are far more extreme cases out there where the sanity of the people should be questioned.
The day I find my room like that....I'll probably kill myself. Or celebrate. Depends on my mood....
Someone should immediately call the Asylum for the Terminally Otaku.
anyone else not see a door or a way out of this room not that you would want to leave but how do you get in?
i'm looking at my wall, and seeing which posters i'm missing!!
i have to look through my megumi deluxe magazines that i have not opened yet :P
Cheap magazine posters no figures: Not so much an otaku as I guy who can't afford wallpaper.
Nice room but most of it is covered in posters, which is relatively cheap. I see no grand amount of figures which is where the money is really drained.
The image on the bottom right, my god. This guy jacks off to toddlers, sick fuck!
new to the internet? welcome
The internet is a congregation for pedophiles, yeah thats news to me.
The room is too visually "busy" and has too much color-clash.
How does he get the posters on the ceiling to not sag?
A special Japanese adhesive(glue) called Bukkake(TM)
Oh Snap! My side job has been exposed! The sexy posters help.
FIRE HAZARD Room
That has to be the coolest room in the world!
Ronery otaku I guess.
I wonder how many girls he's scare off onces they have seen his room.
Actually I have to say this is normal...I've seen worse.
Yeah, I've seen far worse too. If there were anime figures littered everywhere, perhaps it would be a hell.
This is really not that big of a deal. Yet.
easily. what about teenagers that have rooms totally covered with korn or matt damon posters?
ohh thats a nice fate/stay night poster on the top right pic
Remind me about the guy who play puru puru rin in NHK.
It's pretty obvious how this otaku isn't family dependant, notice how there's not a single figurine in there?
Too Otaku for 2Chan!? Takes some doing!
Fail due to lack of Asuka
i say its partially heaven because of the obvious reasons, but also partially hell cuz its impossible to stop fapping while being in that room... go on, i dare you NOT to fap while standing in the middle (and opening your eyes) and see how long you last.
HOLY HELL...
Figure models are acceptable but plastered poster walls is losing it....
I would be fuckin freaked out if I was sleeping in that room...
Fail. Nothing before 2000.
It's always the god damn fucking loli and shounen fans isn't it..
Realize it to all you mother fuckers that still are fans of either..
This guy is YOUR "brethren"..
don think this person is family dependant...
looking @ the calender @ the bottom right pic it says Sanyo Heavy Industry...
either it. or this person get the calender from his/her father
THIS IS MADNESS!
So he's one of THOSE K-On! fans that buys the instrument. Seriously, spending money on an expensive lefty bass when you aren't lefty is pointless.
it's right handed. and it's not the real deal.look closely at the headstock. not fender.
i see this room "normal" i've seen a lot crazier than this, he has a lot of posters and thats it
Looks liek heaven to me. If not that, I'd say it's mu (nothingness, of the best kind).
FUCK YEAH - awesome room
I've seen worse... in pics at least.
But could someone please point out the source of the poster on the last pic?
Delicious bathing loli is delicious.
(+1)
I'd buy a lefty bass, being left-handed. But I've been learning right-handed for years and the only reason why I'd even go back to trying lefty is K-ON :p
Heaven but lack of Gundam
Bottom left picture.
hell and heaven. lets rock!
Storm Earth and Fire hear my Call *Lightning sound*
dude this guy's room is fucking awesome. rethink his life? maybe not actually. i'm sure there are many far more misguided than our friend here.
Amazing and impressive. I wonder if he ever had girls over. Still this is quite an amazing display.
All I have to say is damn that's a lot of money.
i feel like a sad person after seeing this,because i knew many of those animes and mangas in there,lol,but i wouldnt mind having that TORADORA pillow sheet,lol
i spy with my little eye something begining with HOLY SHIT!1!1!one!1
Great design concept for VAULT 13....
This is Otaku Paradise!
8D
The room is pretty scary to me
Damn... so many posters..... wish i had so many XD
It looks like purgatory to me -- not heaven nor hell lol
Meh, the vast majority look like they're just posters from magazines.
I don't really see much in the way of regular merch.
You call that hell then what is this....
http://homedir-b.libsyn.com/podcasts/5c680a0b2bae9e154c0770f90cde1156/4acc4b54/weeklyanimereview/images/otaku-room.jpg\url]
I see Nagisa and Honoka, among others, therefore it's fucking awesome.
Holy crap! There isn't even room to live in there! That is hell! There's no point in having all that stuff if you have to view it from the doorway.
ah that's more like it.
compare this with a Twitard's room...
This is Heaven! Although it is mostly posters I can’t help but envy him. The bead spread is a must have. I want to do this with my room!
looks like heaven to me +1
I can see 3d gurls under the calender!
death by moe now a very real threat
Heaven all the way!
8D
Actually, if you look carefully, he's only got a certain amount of posters. And we all know that posters aren't that hard to find, and they're not expensive.
The other stuff is quite common, his manga collection isn't that impressive at all.
I wonder what someone would look like when entering that room for the first time...
i don't think it's THAT much... people with lots of merchandise are a whoooole more scary... they're just posters, for god's sake *does not want to question the guitars* i once met a girl who had posters to her walls like that, though they were of bands and actors XD
from the books he has, it looks like he either studied or practices in Architecture or civil engineering...
he has a lot of Star Wars books
also a book on Peugeot Cars.
Wtf? he have extrem money for this shit... where is the girlfriend? he play keyboard and guitar...? he have a big LCD, Ps3 and a very good PC... is this a secretroom?... i see... where is the window?
I just keep thinking fire hazard when I look at that room.
Though I have a lot of electronics in my room.
It is defiantly cleaner than the rooms of 90% of the people here...
Wow wtf...and Japanese rooms are sure small ;)
oh thank gawd he isnt a NEET!
Did anyone else see the big-ass jar of pills in the six picture? Talk about buying in bulk.
Eh, I don't feel like logging in today.
Miku pillow (as well as the others) look really fake. :P This rooms fails. Poster collage is definitely not what I'd want in my room either.
good god. This guy defies the meaning of diminishing marginal utility. (microeconomic term)
Yay looks cool ^___^
I applaud and salute. o_o
it is heaven because the kid has a synthesizer
if the synth wasn't there...it be hell.
LOL that looks exactly like my room (having 400 posters on my walls(its nice to have the ability to print any papersize for free))
nice1 sir, this room is like mine
he's right to live as an otaku, the killjoy who criticizes it's just crazy imposing their lifestyle.
Beside the serious lack of figures,tapestry and too many poster making the room confusing I could say it an otaku room
Hell
Freedomforce29- i need to make an account but yeah-
When they say its the end of the world, that room is at the top of my loot list! ^^
lmao i feels sorry for him he has no life i like anime but only to an extent he is a failure as a human being. Hes is another lost cost of a man who will never get laid or married but o well he fails as a man XD
