Lucky Star is an anime about the ordinary lives of Konata, Miyuki, and the Hiiragi Twins, Tsubasa and Kagami. Watch as they go to school, eat lunch, play video games, and so much more! Every day may seem ordinary, but these girls make it extraordinary!

Lucky Star is perhaps one of the biggest anime when it comes to otaku culture, especially with a heroine like Konata. However, let us take a look at Miss Patricia Martin. Patricia Martin is a transfer student from the United States of America. Patricia is not just any type of otaku; she’s a weeaboo.

Patricia has learned all of her Japanese through anime and manga, which has led her Japanese to be a bit unusual and improper. Patricia also makes generalizations about Japanese culture based on what she knows from anime. Patricia doesn’t even listen to any other Japanese music aside from anime themes. To top it all off, she’s making her livelihood working at a cosplay café. Considering Lucky Star is an anime that parodies real life, you can clearly tell that Patricia Martin is a parody about Americans and weeaboos. Patricia is a character based on a stereotype of any American who goes to Japan, which is clearly not always the case. Sadly, though, this is a very common depiction of Americans in anime.

Mashiro Moritaka has always dreamt of becoming a mangaka, but gave up his dream when he was coping with a tragedy. One day, he is approached by his classmate Takagi Akito, the school’s top student, who had witnessed Moritaka’s artistic skill and wants to ask if Moritaka will join him in writing manga together. Fueled by his desire to get his crush, Azuki Miho, Moritaka decides to take on the venture. Together, Moritaka and Akito work under the pen name Ashirogi Muto in hopes of becoming the best mangaka in Japan.

Technically, Bakuman. does not depict any weeaboos in the anime, but it does show a lot of earnest devotion to the art of being a mangaka, which many weeaboos do aspire to become one day. Many weeaboos and anime otaku develop an interest in drawing after watching anime or reading manga, so Bakuman. does show us how difficult the road up ahead is for those who seek out a career in anime and manga. It is a very tough road!

Also, Bakuman. gives us a good idea of the inner workings of a mangaka: how it works, what to consider when writing, how do publications work. There is so much that needs to be considered that Bakuman. will allow many adolescents to understand what they need to do if they want to achieve their dreams. Being an artist is a tough job, but working in anime without being Japanese? That may be even harder! We can’t all be waitresses in a cosplay café like Patricia.

Hino Akiharu is an orphan living with his uncle’s family, but to lessen his burden on his uncle, Akiharu enrolls himself as a butler at a boarding school where expenses are paid. Unfortunately, Akiharu has the appearance of a delinquent so most of the girls avoid him! It is then when he meets his childhood crush, Tomomi.

A shining example of a weeaboo has to be Pina Sformklan Estor! Pina is a European princess who has come to Japan because she believes Japan is the best country. Pina states all Japanese manga is better than her country’s historic novels! As you can see, Pina believes that Japan is ultimately better than the country that she runs. This is a tell tale sign of being a weeaboo if there ever was one.

While not everyone is quite as exaggerated or critical as Pina is, you can probably remember someone who thinks along a similar wavelength as Pina. Those types of people do exist whether you want to believe it or not.
