otaku no video

おたくのビデオ

Otaku no Video (おたくのビデオ, Otaku no Bideo - The Video of the Otaku) is a two part 1991 comedy OVA spoofing the life and culture of otaku, individuals with obsessive interests in media, particularly anime and manga, as well as the history of Gainax, its creators (who are all otaku themselves) during the 80s.

It is noted for its mix of conventional documentary film styles (with actual film, no less), with a more traditional anime storytelling fashion. It is licensed in the United States by AnimEigo.

The anime includes a Disneyland parody in Otakuland, implied to be located in the Urayasu, Chiba, the same city of the original Tokyo Disneyland.
