I became an otaku because of one friend. Naruto was a cultural phenomenon but it didn't extend to anime in general so the amount of otakus around here are extremely small. That friend introduced me to FT and One Piece too as well as many others.

Once I got over my stupid block that I won't ever watch subbed anime or read manga online, my life became so much more interesting. Now I watch/read practically anything if it looks decent.
