| 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.
