PROFESSIONAL OTAKU.

May 29th, 2009 | Category: Random | By: sentinel011

Yes, there’s a way for one to be a PROFESSIONAL OTAKU, certified in Japan, no less. \

Just go here, and apply.

Not to mention it’s ‘endorsed’ by the Queen of Akiba, Momo-i Halko.

It’s just like JLPT. But it’s anime related, and for the budding otaku who aspires to be a PROFESSIONAL.

Now excuse me while I try to refrain from any adverse reactions, because I don’t think being a PROFESSIONAL OTAKU gives you any jobs other than bragging rights to your fellow otaku friends that you’re certified as one.

-EDIT-

Alright, so it seems that after asking from various sources in the industry, you -do- need to have that if you want to work at anime-related companies, like Animate.

But it’s still amusing to me.

    Isn’t this quite old already? I remember it started back in ‘06 or ‘07.

    Wow. Seriously. Wonder what they would think of next? A cert for being a professional NEET?
