Otaku no Video

Otaku no Video (おたくのビデオ) is a comedy anime spoofing the life and culture of otaku, or Japanese media fans, as well as the history of Gainax, its creators. 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.
