Far from it actually. Shenmue is really my only Otaku-esque interest. And even that's a stretch.
Based on your reaction I'd say I struck a nerve. You don't need to be a cock about it; as long as you're happy who cares where you're into.
Nah bruh bruh, don't try and do the ol switchero. The point of my post was kind of that it's a wee bit strange to assume that most people on this forum act like unbalanced 100% obsessive anime freaks. It'd be strange (and obnoxious) to make that assumption on a dedicated anime forum let alone this one. Even you state that considering Shenmue "otaku-esque" is a stretch. I'm not saying that there necessarily isn't anyone here like that, but you either have to have your head up your arse or be projecting your own bullshit to be making stupid "observations" like that.
