/jp/ - Otaku Culture

I guess jaypee didn't like @DEEP. That sucks, but I thought it was a pretty good show. The entire cast's hyper autism was pretty fun to watch, and I thought it had a lot of genuinely funny moments. It didn't haven as many super obscure references as you'd think would come from a show of this nature (unless you count Darma's bullshit), but it was still pretty cool, and I especially loved the set design of the heroes' office. But can you really call it a depiction of the early 2000s? I think it'd be better to call it a depiction of pre-Haruhui, pre-Akihabara massacre otaku culture. But I guess at the point, I'm just being pedantic.

I remember reading somewhere that the first episode of the show was based on the post-Koaru Kobayashi murder. That's how I initially found out about the show. I can't find that information at all now, can someone confirm?
