America’s Greatest Otaku?


Written on September 22, 2010 – 4:37 pm | by ohstalon06

AGOTokyopop is busy trying to find a junior film editor in order to edit their net-based reality show “America’s Greatest Otaku.” This show according to Tokyopop is “to find America’s Greatest Otaku, the person who best exemplifies a truly unique fervor and passion for all things influenced by Japanese pop culture.”

I personally believe that if this thing isn’t going to be on the air on television, I don’t know why Tokyopop is even bothering with a show like this. They were at one time the biggest manga publisher in North America and now that they have been shut out of the big titles from Japanese publishers, they are trying desperately to find ways to make them more money and they continuously fail to do that. Its not going to be too long where they are going to have to accept where they are in the market now or just continue to fail over and over again and maybe go under.

    Why are you so opposed to them running it online? Tokyopop’s had its problems recently, but I think this show sounds fun, wherever it runs. Careful of run-on sentences, and remember that interstitials need to be shorter. 3/4
