A rather interesting image comes our way, allegedly detailing the appearance and fashion sense displayed by otaku hailing from Hong Kong.
“Don’t be taking girls with you to buy toys now!”
A complete translation of the image can be found on the channel.

HK otaku make watching anime seem cool
Emo kid + Otaku = HK Otaku?
Srysly, I don't think this represents all otakus in HK. I mean you will rarely see an otaku who is anorexic and who wears clothes that reminds you of emo kids.....
I think the emo fashion copied Asian kids. They clay their hair, which Asians had been doing for much longer, and their fashion for tight jeans too. It's Emo (who dye their hair black) wants to be Asian, not the other way around.
What all Emo kids really want is to be dead and we should facilitate this every chance we get.
I've seen that image long time ago. Still managed to entice a chuckle from me.
I look around the places where the otaku would frequent, OK, maybe the otaku here are less "geekish" than the folks in Akiba, but this picture still makes me laugh in disbelief.
HK does have their fair share of overweight otaku (not me though :p), but at least they make an effort to conceal the flab in baggy and trendy dark coloured clothes.
This image shouts "Oh, yeah! Being nerd is trend and that's why I follow the nerd's dresscode to attract more cute girls than you, you miserable, lifeless being."
Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame! >.< Ask him if he has ever seen Serial Experiments Lain and he will answer "Is there an anime with that anime? I have only watches Death Note and Code Geass". Like those heavy metal posers who knows only about Metallica and Iron Maiden.
The whole 'thin' idea is not just Otaku's (I've seen fat ones). It's a fashion trend to look thin and wear skin tight jeans Otaku or not. I've seen males with thinner waists than females *shivers* feel like I could snap them in half with my hands. There are 2 kinds that sport those clothing and walks around with a girl like that. Otakus's or really spoiled brats from rich parents. Only difference is spoiled brats tend to have more bling and can be an egotisical ass.
Though I agree with most of it, they sure didn't cover the fat kind of Otaku's lol
The girl reminds me of Sora from Oh My Goddess...
Looks like I'm not the only one to notice that.
Gotta love the megane wearing mousey types!
I would be fine with a girlfriend like that, but she needs an uber personality.
that's my dream girl.....oh yeah, there's nothing wrong with taking girls to buy toys.
"fashion" and "otaku" together in the same sentence makes no sense.
Moe!!
I think more girls should wear tights like that.
*Sigh* With the glasses and the shortness...
I'm gonna overflow! >_<
I have a big bag too. They really are found all around the world.
Oh and I wish I looked that cool and had a girl hanging onto me.
That's what she said.
That's total BS. I've been to Sino plaza and there's overweight otaku there. They don't seem to be too keen on the "moe~" t-shirt thing though.
And the only girls I see are fujoshi anyways, usually in packs.
Totally false. The true otaku is never seen, or heard. A hikikimori's power level is infinite.
Thin because cats don't have much nutritional value, I assume.
I lol'd.
Wow what ignorance.
Not every 'Chinese eat cats' comment is ignorance. Not sure if this guy's was intended seriously, but I personally think it makes a very amusing joke. Stereotypes are great to poke fun at.
Their best ability is plagiarizing, so unless there are otaku that look like this for the Chinese to copy, I'm going to have to call bullshit.
Please, stop lumping Hong Kong (or Taiwan for that matter) with everything negative you ever read about China. They are more different than you imagine, mate.
While politically, HK is part of China since 1997, culturally, HK and Taiwan are much closer to Japan than mainland China ever is.
No, we're more closer to the British!
All Hail Britannia!!!
HK doesn't plagiarize that much. It had been known for it's innovative, that's why it's part of the 4 Asian Dragons (Japan, Korea, Singapore). All 4 Dragons are known to be innovative even with their highly limited resources.
lol yeah i'll have to agree. Wheres the Source image
A wild OTAKU-Hk.ver. Appears!
Wait... if the girl's anywhere near as geeky as you, wouldn't toy shopping be a /good/ idea?
LOL if its true then i need to visit Hong Kong but we need real pictures :P
Too bad it didn't outline how to get the girl to actually hang out with you.
I found the "thin" comment particularly funny.
I like your avatar...
i just saw this on the channel it reminded me of myself... (taking girls to buy toys is not depressing)
No. No. I've seen Honger otakus, and they look nothing like that. Well, they ARE slightly better than what I've seen of Japanese otakus, but they don't look that cool.
How did they get a picture of me?
You the girl?
"You in the girl?"
Fixed.
obviously he is the face on the brown bag
Lol sure, that works too.
"High ratio of cool looking guys"
"Difference from Japan, everyone is thin"
Couldn't keep myself from falling out of my chair. Are these guys for real?
yes, yes they are . . .
No shit, don't take girls with you to buy toys! I didn't need a comparison I'm not familiar with to something I'm vaguely familiar with (albeit with catchy art) to tell me that.
beware of posers :D
yes there are many cool looking guy that often being company by their girlfriend in buying toys, game etc. But I don't know if you could really define them as "Otaku". Why the girl like to hang out with them. simple either cool looking or FULL LOADED with money
Hk otaku make watching anime seem cool
No, no, no, no they're not all thin... I've seen some pretty fat HK otakus~
There's an otaku fashion? O.o
He looks like human... that's strange
They could be buying figurines together, or some copyright Daikimura.
You must be kidding me.. It's the new trend in Hong Kong?
HK people had been watching and chasing after manga and Anime for over 40 years. So it's not even close to being "new"
well, to be honest, that picture's as old as the internet
