Takeshi Kubo has a job, a girlfriend, and zero interest in anime. Then a friend drags him to one gathering, and something clicks. He starts buying tapes, staying up all night, filling his room with model kits and garage kits until the shelves groan. The girlfriend leaves. The job goes too. He trades all of it for a single goal: to become the king of otaku, the Otaking. That is when the story splits in two. Between the animated scenes of Takeshi's rise, real cameras roll and real otaku sit down to talk. Anime fans, sure, but also the sci-fi crowd, the military model builders, the ones who can tell you the exact year a plastic robot kit went out of production. They speak calmly about their collections, their budgets, their lives. Nobody is joking. Takeshi pushes further than any of them, and the cost keeps climbing. Friends drift away, money runs out, and the line between devotion and obsession gets very thin. So who exactly gets the last laugh here: the man who gave up everything for his hobby, or the ones filming him?
