malltaku
an apocryphal term used by old school anime fans (aka “otaku”) to describe a type of fan that came into the genre after the medium went mainstream.

malltaku usually range in age from early teens to mid twenties, are known for grasping j-panese visual culture as an object of status (ie: “because it’s cool”), have elitist tendencies that gravitate toward a well-known series (usually shown on cartoon network’s “adult swim” or any other m-ss-market broadcast network), and take j-panese language cl-sses with the sole intent of “wanting to read the manga and understand the anime directly from j-pan.”

other traits of the malltaku include unhealthy obsessions with snack foods, television shows, video games, art styles, symbolism, and fashion with more regard to trend, status, and even the fact that “it’s from j-pan, so it’s kewl”; while paying less regard to the culture of the country itself and its’ people.
