Research Abstract

This study situates otaku culture within varied cultural and social conditions. Fandom culture is situated within the transnational media culture of the Digital age. Drawing from detailed ethnographic work, I characterized the internal learning of specific niche communities within the broader anime fandom. I found three key conceptual frameworks : 1) the DIY ethics(cultural logics of fandom culture), 2) the underlying peer based reviewing, and 3) reciprocal learning within the varied niche subcultures.
