In modern Japanese slang, an otaku refers to an overtly obsessive fan of any one particular theme, topic, or hobby. Common uses are anime otaku (one who sometimes enjoys many days of excessive anime watching with no rest)

To become an otaku:
1. Loves to watch animes everyday and read mangas.
2. Loves to say this word to express your feeling: "Moe~~~"
3. Love to collect cute anime merchandise such as figurines and such.
4. Tend to be a little anti-social
5. spends most of your money on anime merchandise.
6. Willing queue to buy anime merchandise during Japan's Animate festival for days and nights.
7. Love to cosplay, playing dress up.
8. Often visiting Nakano Broadway for anime merchandise in Japan.
Hope it helps.

Get a subscription to any and ALL Anime magazines you can. Learn how to cosplay. Develop an addiction to "Pocky". Attend any/all anime conventions you can afford or get the time off to go to. Buy as many seasons of anime shows as you can afford, or suggest them as Christmas gifts ( I recommend classics such as Ninja Tai Gatchaman, Space Battleship Yamato, the Gundam series etc...) And lastly , learn the English AND Japanese names of all Anime and quote them at will.
Good hunting fellow Otaku-in-training.

Otaku just means somone that really enjoys anime. You are probably one already.
But if you want to get more involved in Anime, I suggest going to some conventions or hanging around anime websites.

Buy as much anime as you can, memorize all the lines you can, cosplay all your favorite characters, go to as many conventions, start your own anime club if you want.
