Google Trends: Ranking The 50 States in America That Identify As Otaku From Least to Most (PART 5) 10-1

NOTE: This is the final part of the article

Last year, I made an article that covered the ranking of all 50 states based on the popularity of anime from worst to best, on Google trends. As a result, that article was one of my very firsts. As I was starting, I noticed that although it received a positive fanfare among readers, I made quite a bit of mistakes in regard to the info and resources that I wrote in that article. In fact, I missed out on a lot of important info that should have been said during that time. Now, here I am with a new article of the same subject, but now added with a nicer layout, updated info, better research, and custom descriptions said by me that is based on my research.

The popularity of anime has grown incredibly for over the last decades. While the medium itself always had an American presence between the 1960s to the 1980s. However, it was not until the 1990s when the medium began to knockdown the mainstream audience thanks to the introduction of anime on children’s television channels. When the 2000s dawned, the popularity of anime increased only more tenfold thanks to the advancement of the internet and the availability of forums, websites, fan subs, and social media. Throughout the 2010s and 2020s, the medium has enjoyed unprecedented growth thanks to the rise of streams, social media, and more websites and forums that make it easier for otakus to access too. Now, anime has become so popular now that you can pretty much find fans of anime in the middle of nowhere. Even in those middle of nowhere places, goodies for otakus exist at every corner of the map, and all 50 states have anime conventions or some kind of ComicCons with anime and manga stuff located.

Continuing on from my previous article. I used Google trends to see which state searches up on anime the most, and the results were interesting. However, instead, I wanted to see which state identifies most as otaku by simply seeing which state looks up the definition as the most. Not only that, but I will also be using sources and research backup to explain the possibility of the question on why the state is ranked on that number. This list, unlike the previous one, makes a lot more sense now, and some of the states that you will see ranked will probably surprise, and number 1 may surprise you the most. Also, unlike my previous article of the same topic which contained all 50 states in one article, instead, I have decided to publish separate articles by adding only 10 states to the article ranked from least to most. So that way, readers won’t be turned off by the horrific TL;DR issue, by scrolling through a long page with nothing but texts, and instead, enjoy reading the article with a moderate amount of reading and waiting in anticipation for the next article of the same topic. Without a further a do, let’s get started!

THE iDOLM@STER (TV Animation) – Amami Haruka – SQ – Masters of Idol World!! 2015 (Banpresto) Review

My fellow otakus. For two years, my Konomi Yuzuhara figure from Kotobukiya that was made in 2005 remained my number 1 figure. Even though, like most things, favorites don’t last forever being number one. As predicted, eventually, my Konomi figure was eventually to be dethroned by another figure. Now, at long last, the time has officially come. After more than two years of enjoying the title as “best figure” of my collection, she’s no longer number 1. Now, we have a new queen in town.

Haruka Amami, the cute idol girl from The Idolmaster Series. She has now taken the throne as the new number 1 figure of my collection. All credit goes to the brilliance of Banpresto. Their amazing efforts have created a figure so extraordinary. Anyone owning this figure will stare at her with massive awe. The best part is, this figure is priced for peanuts. This figure will only cost you around 24–27 bucks in total. For such a cheap figure, she is well-designed.

My dear and fellow beloved otakus across the state from Florida to fellow neighbors Texas. I do indeed have some very bad and awful news to tell you. This news is truly disappointing. As a Floridian otaku, I urge all of you to spread the news on what’s going on in Texas. It’s important for the anime, manga, and video game content. This topic is about censorship. It’s not only about how it will affect you. It even lands you into prison if this bill is passed.
