Spring sees yet another crop of otaku rooms from 2ch, with most evidently not much in need of any spring cleaning, and with some rather impressive collections of such otaku staples as PC hardware and anime goods well in evidence.

Superb blog! Do you have any tips for aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own site soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you recommend starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m completely confused .. Any tips? Cheers!
Right away I am going to do my breakfast, afterward having my breakfast coming again to read additional news.
I am no longer positive where you are getting your info, but good topic. I needs to spend a while learning much more or understanding more. Thank you for fantastic information I used to be searching for this information for my mission.
Sorry to burst some bubbles, but the room shown in pictures 58-60 are Victor & Soeun V’s room in NEW YORK. Here’s the link: http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/11-victor-soeun-21235
I highly suspect that some dishonest otakus have decided to copy-paste pictures of award-winning interior designs in an effort to show up their otherwise inferior rooms.
some of them are pretty nice and i want a room like that,
put that aside, i wonder if those otaku wear an audiophile headphone as i see they do use headphone
Okay, where to get that giant clock screensaver?
Weapons Rack
Suuuuweeeeeeet
What is that plug in one of the pictures?

Very interesting how these rooms range from “that’s terrible, get your act together!” to, “I envy you!”
119!!! where can i buy NAOO. someone tell meee pleease.
positioning the snake figure is extremely creative.
Can we get more female Otaku rooms?
Some of those rooms are so nice(and expensive looking), they must work at a host club to afford all that.
Some of these have to have been taken in the US or at least on base, firearms are illegal in Japan as are all forms of swords unless allowed by a public safety committee. As for the computers, anyone who’s worked with a Japanese computer has seen the rather insane amount of hiragana scattered across the keys – unless PC’s use western style keyboards as a standard and only factory computers have the character-laden ones.
Or he just bought a US model or something.
The guns could be fake/replicas. There’s nothing in the law saying they can’t have a toy gun, even if it’s a fancy, realistic one.
When will girls realize this? Otakus = Wealthy.And guess what? They’re not ugly either đŸ™‚
Otaku might be rich but they’re anti-social, disgusting, ugly and hate 3d girls lol
But that is the problem with generalization.
People always generalize.
If image 119 is a clock; than I am mad jelly.
Some of the rooms are cleaner than mine, LOL!!!
Wow. Some of these rooms are pretty legit. Good use of space, clean, and well done. Actually got a few ideas from some. (^_^)
I want that steins;gate divergence meter. Although from the pics it’s setup as a digital clock.
Simple, make one yourself.

Fuck yeah, The Mask
Oh damn I KNEW I recognized what was on those TVs! Good taste ^^
#76 and 77 stock trader otaku
Lots of audiophiles in Japan
@065
So…… Mashiro’s uncle was an otaku?
58 to 60
WTF?!
The nice and tidy rooms are really nice, but the cluttered ones…..are just…..no. I mean really who has a bed stuck to a WALL!!
125-126 is the best one. Like a Sir.
People have way too much money.
because this internet color identifiers are really true. OH MY GAWD LET IT RAIN BRAINS!
pink is not gay. completely not. just 90% of them wear it. while only 10% of heteros wear pink.
damn gotta love some of those rooms. D:
pussy right there
otaku rooms like a “BOSS”
Extremely jealous of the Sonico otaku and also a lil creeped out…but I won’t complain…if I had that kind of money my room would look the exact same…lol
Personal Favourites:
18 – Boby Marley!
67 – High quality Scotch. Like a Sir!
One thing I don’t get is why so many of them have desktop computers. When living in a small home, wouldn’t laptops be a lot more practical and space-saving?
Laptops have sucky keyboards and graphic cards, so no, not so pratical. They’re nice to put in a tiny little space, if you also have a honest-to-goodness desktop somewhere else for stuff a laptop won’t do for.
Less overheating when watching anime, and most likely its cheaper to have a better performing, with more memory and space, desktop.
Laptops are limited to how much you can change and improve them, desktops have a lot more options and usually are more durable.
laptops suck tho ;o? and mobility isnt all that useful for most people. desktops have better displays and theyre nicer to use keyboard wise generally. Screen doesnt have to be super close like a laptop either and of course theyre better for gaming. Also if something craps out it can be replaced much easier and one can always upgrade stuff with relative ease. My thoughts at least. Ive had 2 laptops in the past but built my first destop last year after the second one crapped out and now Im never going back.
What, and run the risk of having your battery die while you’re right in the middle of…well, you know…
Interestingly populating your room with half-naked Sonikos makes it rather gay, because it’s all pink and white…
“Pink is the color of universal love and compassion.
Emotional love of self and others. Brings you in contact with your feelings of caring, tenderness, self-worth and love, acceptance.
Heals grief and sadness. Smoothes difficulties in both romantic and family relationships and assists with self-esteem and self-love.
Pink is a combination of red and white. The quality of energy in pink is determined by how much red is present. White is the potential for fullness, while red helps you to achieve that potential. Pink combines these energies.
Wear pink when you are around people you care about and that care about you, or if you want to smooth over or encourage the one to one relationship, whether it be friendship or romantic love.
Pink suggests softness, sweetness, innocence, youthfulness, tenderness, romance, nurturing, friendship, femininity, soft and kind people. A pink carnation means ‘I will never forget you.’ ”
How is that gay?
You know, that’s actually a good question. Anyone knows what is it that makes pink gay?
It’s actually not gay.
But all those macho guys don’t want to have “softness, sweetness, innocence, youthfulness, tenderness, romance, nurturing, friendship, femininity, soft and kind people” associated with them. That’s just how assholes are.
Then again, ‘gay’ isn’t what I’d worry about, regarding the image of me it would project.
Anddd… still no living female to be found inside the room :\
Why would they randomly post a picture of their girlfriend, even if they had one?
there aren’t any girlfriend, because they only have their hand and imagination
06:11 Wow, someone sounds insecure. I’m sure some of them have girlfriends, so what’s the problem? U jelly?
I see two Xbox 360s (#11, #34). I guess more otaku have Xboxes than have girlfriends (of the non-plastic variety).
Soniko-chan room! I’m in heaven!
065 – He literally has a wall of texts.
No females for miles… đŸ˜‰
check under the bed
LoL xD
i c wut u did thar
the textures on the one wall make it look like concrete; irony
#64
#65
these remind me why I prefer scans to the actual thing
A lot of those rooms are actually pretty nice.
with special reference to 56 and 58, i totally agree. those two are swankier than many rooms i’ve seen.
I agree. Usually on these I’ll chime in with how damn creepy most are, but it looks like the majority have taken it back a notch to sane levels. The cover story pic is clearly a hoarder, but after that they get pretty damn normal.
like for pic 119
Nixie tube nostalgia! When digital displays meant high voltage and neon gas.
Someone is going for an unusual design, rather than steampunk. No brass, no rococco decoration.
Brings back fond memories.
How could someone be forever alone when so many smiling faces surround them?
Laugh, but I scientifically verified that being surrounded of these gave me more energy than not having them. The kind of energy you get from living with real people.
For people like me who should have no-one, it’s better than no-one.
It is because they were never alone in the first place.
where can I find the item in picture 119? đŸ™‚ Totally need that!
most of the rooms are pretty tasteful and clean. Its hard to see otaku as poor single bums living in his parents basement.
Guts figurine! Awesome.
Some of those rooms are REALLY nice looking, like 58 and 75. Eh, the collections of manga and figs are impressive too I suppose…. but those other rooms… like a Sir.
I’m wondering where they get all the money from to own so much stuff in the 1st place…
Uh, they work?
I could easily own ten times that. These stuff are cheap compared to nice clothes, girlfriends, cars, traveling, going out and generally having a social life.
lol yeah totally.
Yeah, whatever you say.
Pic 75. Triple monitors, nice.
Pic 76. 5 monitors, WANT THAT!
I cant help but wonder if that bed will fall down
I especially like the white room with the “office” inside the box with the bed on top of it, its a very nice space saver with the added privacy (for those nights spent playing eroge).
Some of these rooms have some nice arrangements ideas, definitely will apply them when possible.
Ye, looks very nice. On other hand rest of the room was pretty much empty.
minimalistic otaku

nice collection of cheap toy guns that still look like toys hanged on the wall

Otakus are wealthy, aren’t they?
Some are sponsored by their parents….those NEET otakus.
women and families cost money, so if you dont have one… đŸ˜‰
Indeed. An otaku isn’t necessarily a hikikomori. Many otaku have a job.
Dat Norman Rockwell postcard at pic 68 D:!
Where do all of these people get that clock screensaver?
Here: http://9031.com/goodies/#fliqlo
much obliged!
Some of these room are Fucking Cozy
and nice and clean
Nice whisky stand. Made me thirsty.
Pretty impressive.
lol @ buying manga
I don’t see what’s so nice about your hdd, if it even shows without taking your computer apart.
But maybe it’s just me.
It’s just you.

What a waste of space for more posters..
Then again, these photos are the main reason why I always drop a tear everytime I heard someone says “Get a room!”..
He or she (lol) uses that wall to project stuff like you can see in other photos
