Hello /jp/! I am a gaijin but here I go.

Tomorrow night I am supposed to go to an "otaku party" with a group of people from which I know only one person. My goal is to learn as much about the otaku culture as possible in 24 hours so I can keep a conversation going without staring at a person wondering what the fuck he/she is talking about. The things I know about this group is that they like to watch anime and read a lot of manga. I also know that the first stop of the night will be at a Japanese restaurant.

What are some things you should never say to an otaku person?
What should I order at the restaurant? (the classic sushi?)
What are some of the most discussed anime/manga these days?
Is there any website that could help me reach my goal faster? (learneverythingabouttheotakuculturein24hoursorless.com doesn't seem to exist)

Thanks!

Why stop there? Have it prepackaged in a pinku bento box along with your favorite jelly donuts.

I don't see why you should get it prepackaged in a pinku bento box if you are at a restaurant but at least I know what a bento box is.

Make sure you take off your shoes before entering the japanese restaurant. The staff will shout "Irrashaimase!" (=No shoes, service!) when you walk in, in order to remind you. The traditional response to this is "Ojamashimasu!" If they have "waraibashi" (laughing chopsticks, so called because they look like the character "ha") don't rub them together or stick them in your nose or use them to move bowls of rice or plant them upright in a bowl of rice and light them on fire or drum the table with them or point at people with them or pass food from them to another person's chop sticks. In fact, it might be better to just ask for a spoon. It is considered good form to dunk your sushi in a bowl of ojuu (soy sauce, lit. "with [its own] juice").

>What are some things you should never say to an otaku person?
Anything you wouldn't say to anybody else. Don't insult their shit, you can disagree with them, but don't tell them that they have shit taste in anime or manga (even if it's true...)

>What should I order at the restaurant? (the classic sushi?)
Order whatever the heck you want. If someone else is paying, don't order the most expensive item on the menu. They aren't going to expect you to eat ramen and get one of those spiral fishcakes on your cheek.

>What are some of the most discussed anime/manga these days?
Anything new, but people like to reminisce on the older series too, especially if they were really good or really bad.

>Is there any website that could help me reach my goal faster? (learneverythingabouttheotakuculturein24hoursorless.com doesn't seem to exist)

he can't be too specific, there are too much old animes to see them in one night(city hunter, hokuto no ken, golgo13....) altought you probably watched some of them , as for the new ones, if your friends are 21 or older they will probablly talk about samourai flamenco and how it reminded them about the sentais they saw when they were kids, it also bacame relly bad after the first 8 episodes, so watch samflam toonight.

You are right, I myself am 21 and the other should be around the same age.
I don't need to watch the whole thing tho, reading the plot and/or episode summaries should do, I guess.

The only thing you have to know about otaku culture is that everyone is gay and likes dicks, even if they don't know it yet. Anime is engineered to do that to your brain.
I'm not joking...
Also maybe you could marathon a meta anime show like welcome to the NHK, but I think the kind of otaku people that would host a party (what the FUCK) are probably tumblr otaku 2.0 idiots that only pretend to like anime because it's cool on their internet circles, so you won't learn anything about them there anymore. It'd be like watching otaku no video 10 years ago.

Why would you want to discuss something you know nothing about ?

It's like going to a meeting about astronomy, and asking people "quickly brief me on the "best" constellations and stars" and hour before going. It's stupid, and your faggotry will be detected. Are you trying to blend in like you're a spy or something ?

That said, the "otaku" you're referring to are probably just western teenagers who like bleach and naruto and will grow out of it at some point, or if they're older, normalfags/pseudo-nostalgiafags knowing only Eva, GitS, etc... Otaku don't throw "parties", except in japan, and it's usually close friends and still very awkward.

.It's more like going to a meeting about astronomy and knowing the names of a few starts and instruments used to study said stars so you can follow a conversation.

They invited you knowing that you weren't otaku. Isn't it obvious? You're not a guest, you're the entertainment. Otaku slumber parties are notorious for the gang raping of normalfags. They're going to take turns spit roasting you and pile driving your soon to be useless boypussy until your mind is completely broken and all you think about is dicks. Why do you think this is such a common narrative in otaku media (not that you'd know)?

Run. Run as fast as you can and forget that you ever met these people. The police won't help, they turn a blind eye because it's just way too much of a pain to have to deal with this autistic kids.

Worst thing that could happen is that they are total weeaboos, they kind that thinks japanese culture is superior to their own and want to adept as much as they can. Usually by using japanese words for parts of the sentence and other shit. That would be about worst case. The thing is otaku is a negative way to refer to obsessive anime/manga fans in japan. So for me calling yourself that is retarded.
