Patrick Macias, who we frequently feature with his awesome TV appearances, is getting ready to write his new book. Titled Fierce Legend of American Otaku People (yeah, dont ask), its a quest to give credit where credit is due to the many Americans that through their endless geekdom transformed foreign Japanese cartoons into the gargantuan industry it is today. But beyond that Patrick is also looking to tell the story of other huge otaku who’s life’s where forever changed by anime and manga in a drastic way, he calls them “Legendary Otaku”.

Here’s where you come in, if you think you’ve got what it takes to be a legendary otaku and be featured in this book or you know of someone who has gone beyond the call of duty in the name of true otaku-spirit, Patrick wants to hear from you. He’s even agreed to give a free book to whoever reffers him to an appropriate subject. You can reach him at otackers@gmail.com and leave your info. This is shaping up to be a great historical text on western otaku and Uncle Macias wants YOU to be a part of history! This is the part where if i had photoshop available a mash-up of him on an uncle sam’s poster would appear.
