K-ON! has long been notorious for selling large numbers of musical instruments to fans, which naturally go unplayed, but in this rather extreme case the otaku seems to have assembled instruments for the entire band, as well as headphones, a Mac and much else…
“Please stop me!” he begs, though it seems 2ch is unlikely to be of much assistance.
With fans like this, it seems little wonder that the likes of Endless Eight can sell 14,000 copies…

WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY ARE OTAKU SO RICH? I DONT UNDERSTAND!
Because they don't have girlfriends.
They cost nothing actually.
Please Ayu, stop with that bullshit. You know, I know and EVERYONE in this page knows that being in a relationship of ANY kind cost a SHITLOAD of money unless you happen to be a PIMP.
You really are a jerk and your comment comes in the worst time possible. I had to give my wife like $100 usd this week and she haves money of her won. So, please stop that BULLSHIT.
Why let your wife bully you like that.
Because otherwise she can divorce him and get 70% of his assets due to the mental abuse she suffered from not having enough money.
You will understand if you happen to marry someday.
Really? that sucks, is divorce really that easy to manipulate to a woman's advantage? What about prenuptial agreements and the likes? and whatever happened to good old counseling and talking about problems.
Anonymous 20:37 understood. ^_^
At least I will not raise any fuking money sucking kids ;) preffer to cut off my balls myself than have childs ^o^
You need to have a prenup planned BEFORE you marry. Otherwise, you're skrewed big time.
@Anon 20:42 There are two kind of beings who you cannot negotiate to: bitches and terrorist. Try to express your discomfort about something and you loose.
By the way, prenups are not available in all countries in the world, you know?
I know my fellow anon 20:47. in any case thou, I do believe that the attitude of women vary from country to country and that legalities aside, there is always a good woman for a good man.
Yay for ayu
Well, there is no ill that last 100 years, nor a moron who can endure it ;)
Yay for ayu
Said the gay troll
>she haves money of her won.
Cool english bro.
Thanks, obviously I'm not a native English-speaker. So, please help me to improve by pointing at my evident mistakes.
It is "owns"? Have?
A plural entity can 'have' something, a single entity 'has' something. EX:
Ayu has a nice ass.
These otaku have too much fucking money.
Unellmay: indeed, her comments always spawn the best reactions
Its amazing how much freedom a person can get before being considered a troll by just proclaiming yourself a girl. And women want equality damn...
Has! Thanks a lot Arcana. I appreciate. So, the paragraph should read as:
“She has money of her own, but still asks for my money”.
@21:30 Anon totally agree in that point. Saying that having a GF cost noting is poisonous, but applauding such a comment is just pure trolling.
Women don’t want a fair, equal treatment, they want to turn men into their bitches, with is what some of us are right at this moment.
BTW: does she really have a nice ass? At least that would justify her occasional bitchness.
Correct as you wrote it. You could also say:
"She has her own money, but still asks for mine."
Since 'money' has previously been used as the subject.
Ayu's ass and I are unacquainted, but I direct you to this comment,
http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2009/10/04/sexy-chinese-clubbers-bare-all/#comment-312244
which seems to confirm my theory.
Thanks again Arcana, and well, good for you, keep that dream. BTW I must insist, it was a poisonous comment.
LONG LINE OF COMMENTS IS PRETTY FUCKING LONG SAYS KORTAKU.
That's a lie. you still need to pay for Love Plus.
Having an otaku room: $20000
Having a wife and one kid for 20 years: $140000, or $200000 if the kid goes to college.
You see a difference here?
ok ok ok... first of all. women cost a SH*T TON of money whether you are in the relationship or trying to get out.
second of all, all women are whores. they think their buhginas are made of gold and worth the hassle. they also think the buhginas are a carte blanche to do what they want when they want regardless of how it impacts the other person. they can attest their independence all they want but ultimately most of them just desire to manipulate and canoodle their significant other until they no longer amuse them.
third of all, being an otaku is expensive but getting a divorce is SO MUCH MORE expensive and at least otaku have thier toys, games & dvds to show for it. all poor divorcee suckers have to show for it is their poverty and broken hearts. i have never paid $40k for any of my figures or dvds. i had to sign a check for the same amount to my ex-wife, may she burn in hell for all eternity.
fourth. yes, kids are expensive, but they are your children and your responsibility and if you raise them properly having kids can be extremely rewarding. my son and i watch anime, play video games, collect toys, and get enthusiastic about pretty much all the same things. this is freaking beautiful, guys. they can be a pain in the ass sometimes but AGAIN never even close to the level that women are. also, providing my son with a good education will leave me with AN EDUCATED AND INTELLIGENT heir. this makes me proud. another positive experience.
i have been married twice and all i got was buyer's remorse.
/THREAD
The thing I like the most about this part of the thread is absolutely no response from Ayu
It was pretty amusing though, having a feminazi amidst us.
Feminazi? You sure you don't mistake her for Mimi?
She stated several times that she hated radical feminists as much as anyone else here. If opposing the misogynist cancer that is slowly consuming SanCon makes you a feminazi, then I'm one as well, and proud of it.
Took the words right outta my mouth.
@Y10NRDY: Bro thanks for sharing, your post was really interesting. Not interested in raising kids myself but totally respect your point of view.
@04:13 Anon: Like some other Anon said before: she can keep replying and show how retarded she is or just fucking shut up and keep us doubting.
@Ninsheart: Agree +1
@Shu & Tex: don't be such a virtual ass licker.
Eh, I wouldn't be suprised if Tex and Shuu are also in on the trollfest crusade that Aya started--Just ignore those idiots.
stay single, fuck prostitute, love is fake, why bother get marry... we live to die!
I just facepalm'd myself really hard.
"Please stop me..."
All it takes is one bullet. I'll go and do it myself. It's been a few years since I went to Japan. :)
These guys live in tiny boxes, never buy new clothing, and are usually extremely close to poverty. Thats how they can buy all this stuff. I would say that some of these guys might even have developmental disorders .
Otaku have different structural priorities than that of 'normal' people:
1. anime goods
2. anime goods
3. protective goods for anime goods
4. food
5. Internet
6. rent
7. cat
8. clothing
So they tend to spend what they make on only what they want, and scrimp on what they need. Its a lifestyle I can appreciate and somewhat also have.
Futsu te yuuna! Don't say normal
If you think clothing is important, then you are just another fucking AIRHEAD around.
I can go naked all the way just fine. FUCK the cloths, fuck the fashion!
Totally agree: while I need some clothes to protect from sun burning or coldness I give a rat ass about fashion. I can buy shoes at the beginning of the year and keep using them until they fell apart.
anon @14.33, +100!
+100 too
AGREED X3
This is true....If you don't have control of your "inner self" and priorities a Women could just 'Take your Soul'...and you'll think it's a bargain- lol.
OTAKU's may just be the 'Last' actual Men thinking for themselves Left on the planet. Beholden to no one but their own tastes & aspirations- Immune to all society peer-pressure.
So... they're self-centered.
Immune to social peer pressure, but clearly like this guy, not immune to capitalistic pressure, or even psuedo-peer (fantasy-peer?) pressure by anime characters.
Streifen:
Animu characters aren’t a coercive influx, as opposed to family or women; so he does on his free will, regardless.
And about capitalism: happens to be the dominating economic system in the world, you can't do shit in life if you are outside it and protesting against it makes you a FAGGOT. Try a better one next time.
Well most are not rich...but just willing to spend oodles at whim on fan material.
he has a B&W Zeppelin... and that thing never was in K-ON, so i guess he cant be that poor
that's why they're envied by many, whether by their carefree-ness to stuff that other people thought "normal", or by their pay check, or just plain otaku-wannabe.
Lol, envy. more like pitied if you ask me.
Yeeeessssss, of course they are pitied by those who are only given 10k yen worth of allowance out of their 500k salary by their wife/girlfriends.
*rolleyes*
May i ask where did you get the notion that these people get only 10k yen out of their 500k salary?
you don't know?
it's the wife doing the budgeting.
Here you go.

http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2009/05/01/80-of-japanese-women-marrying-poorer-men-unthinkable/
Yeah, wife does the budgeting. But why assume that these people will only get 10k? Japanese point of view?
Dude, in the link above you can see that she's giving him 10 dollars a day. That's less than 10k.
Yeah, i guess it does suck in a Japanese man's world. How other men of other countries fare thou, is entirely different i suppose.
because its like this
http://lifehacker.com/5373244/ditch-the-fake-it-until-you-make-it-mentality-concerning-wealth
They're all single and live with their parents, whereas most normal people have to support themselves and have a girlfriend or wife and kids. Mystery solved?
Or simply simply live on their own and don't have to spend money on girlfriends or anything else.
I used to work a $50k/yr job, and I was pretty much able to stash $25k/yr into savings and investments. The other $25k went to apartment, groceries, health insurance, international travel, etc., as well as funding almost all of my otaku needs (which was a lot).
Most people in the U.S. live too much of a credit-based, spend-crazy lifestyle, and wind up paying out the wazoo on interest rates they wouldn't have to worry about if they just saved up money to pay stuff off instead. If you can handle purchasing lots of stuff used isntead of new (clothing, games, etc.) and living off of groceries instead of fast food, you can actually save a shit-load of money.
Totally agree Anon. I'm almost 30 and I have yet to have a credit card (and in the bank they beg me to have one).
Personally I always pay off my balance in full at the end of the month. Helps build credit score in the event I really need it for something (a loan or whatnot) and I don't pay any finance charges since I'm not carrying a balance. As long as you're responsible it's nothing to worry about.
Parent's money.
why do you think most otaku's are rich? Most of my friends aren't rich at all. In fact most of them have financial problems. All they do is spending all their money on anime, manga and other merchandise. Some of my friends are pretty extreme by cutting on their living expenses, like food, clothing and drinks and take two or three part-time jobs. So they could buy all their stuff.
I bet you have something you send some money on too. Like other clothing, games....
it all depends on where your priorities are.
Are you even japanese to begin with?
No no no, it's all simple really. These extreme otakus as you call them are likely something akin to neets that don't really spend on anything else other than their own fetishes and hobbies.
Wow; what's with the excessive reaction? That doesn't look like more than 15k worth of stuff. I hate to break it to you, but that's not a lot of money.
If you mean USD 15.000, that is not enough for Gibson Les Paul Standard 1958 Reissue in Cherry Sunburst Quilt-Top alone, in USA! Check it yourself, you can`t get one below USD 25.000!
Sorry, i got the prices right. It should be USD 2.500 for the guitar. OK, 15k is probably enough.
