About The Otaku's Study 1

Founded in May 2006, The Otaku’s Study began as a humble anime blog by the name of Sam’s Anime Study. The site was initially developed to join the many others who were carving out their audience by reviewing the latest and not-so-latest anime on an episode-by-episode basis. While its beginnings were not what you could call “off to a great start”, it has built itself up to be what it is today.

The Otaku’s Study is about sharing news, reviews, interviews and other articles around storytelling mediums. From its roots as an anime and manga blog, it quickly branched out into video games, then a wide array of other topics including live performance, visual novels and more. Even if “Otaku” is most commonly associated with the Japanese anime culture, in the context of this site, it is based on the English translation “Fan”. A fan, with free time on their hands, geeking out to those interested in topics of interest to them.

To this day, Sam manages The Otaku’s Study as a lone-wolf writer – with big expectations in 2020 and beyond.
