What is the meaning of otadesho? otadesho consists of two words: ota and desho. Ota is the short version of otaku (explanation on the next paragraph), and desho is something like “isn’t?” or “right?”. so the meaning of ota desho is, “otaku isn’t?” which then you can reply “ota desu” (similar with “yes, I’m otaku”, desu is word of confirmation).
Otaku is a loan word from Japanese which refer specifically to a fan of japanese anime and manga.
For more explanation about otaku, refer to my post “Otakuology lesson by Shoko-tan”
This Blog
This blog was made to express my otaku life. You won’t read anime review in this site (yet), but mostly you will find my personal thoughts regarding otaku related thingies (figurine, game, etc), anime merchandise that I purchase, or Otaku lifestyle (such as eating ramen!) related post.

Did you use the wrong katakana for “ota” on purpose or are you just bad at Japanese?

Hi ron…long time no post…..wondering if we/you/or me can start an X-Edge PS3 Guide if there isnt 1 already….???
September 30, 2008 at 9:22 am
haven’t bought x-edge yet, going to buy soon. Quite busy at the moment. There are like 4 games waiting for me to be finished >< (I haven’t even finished my Tears to Tiara!!)
September 30, 2008 at 9:34 am
oooooooohhhhhhhhh is tears good??? ive been trying to increase my jap games……but hard to find good opinions
September 30, 2008 at 9:43 am
Tears to Tiara is quite okay.. agarest senki is better, and I’m quite sure that x-edge is better than tears… (well etna alone is more than enough to beat Tears to Tiara haha)
September 30, 2008 at 9:50 am
etna? that sounds neew to me….any website to check/find info?
September 30, 2008 at 9:53 am

How would one distinguish between “ota deshou” and “ota desu yo”?
February 16, 2009 at 10:53 am
@watson: desu yo is emphasizing, while deshou is either inviting or asking for confirmation.

Hey!
Nice to see another Australian otaku blog. I was wondering if you might like to exchange links for blogrolls? I’ll be adding you to mine regardless, but here’s mine if you’re interested:
http://stevelikes.wordpress.com/
It’s not strictly otaku-based, but most entries end up that way regardless. I’m enjoying going through your entries and I hope you might enjoy checking some of mine out too!
Keep up the good work. :]
Steve
