I guess Otaku thinks he can just go around inventing new words. That’s fine, I guess, but… otakusphere?
Otakusphere?!?!
The sad thing is I know I won’t be able to resist using it. It’s going to leap out in conversation sometime soon. And I know I’ll get strange looks when it does.
[…] Update: Ok, now I’ve watched the episode, and even if it’s not as insanely funny as many of the others — Kyon’s sarcasm is definately lacking here, the series continues to intrigue because of all the mysteries. What happened in the cave? Did Haruhi make a change? And what’s with the mole on Kyon’s neck? I dont’ believe that’s just a red herring. Of course, with this bunch, you never know. And when is that talking cat from the first episode going to show up? From what I’m reading on the web, the studio only committed to 14 episodes. I don’t think they expected it to be such a runaway hit in the otakusphere. […]

Of course, I was writing about the popularity of Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya when I wrote it…
