Haruhi Suzumiya Dollfie

On the heels of the article yesterday about the Dollfie's, I thought I would post a picture of one of

the more sought after limited edition Dollfies that has been made.

Isn't she beautiful? Like all of the Dollfie Dream line, Haruhi is 60 cm tall, made of soft vinyl and is fully poseable.

Otaku

Otaku is derived from a Japanese term for another's house or family (お宅, otaku) which is also used as an honorific second-person pronoun. The modern slang form, which is distinguished from the older usage by being written only in hiragana (おたく) or katakana (オタク or, less frequently, ヲタク), or rarely in rōmaji, appeared in the 1980s. In the anime Macross, first aired in 1982, the term was used by Lynn Minmay as an honorific term.^[1]^[2] It appears to have been coined by the humorist and essayist Akio Nakamori in his 1983 series An Investigation of "Otaku" (『おたく』の研究, "Otaku" no Kenkyū^?), printed in the lolicon magazine Manga Burikko. Animators like Haruhiko Mikimoto and Shōji Kawamori used the term among themselves as an honorific second-person pronoun since the late 1970s.^[2]
