 Otaku Elite training program? Should I be scared? This is really bizarre, yet they are otaku.

Toshio Okada, when he was teaching "otaku culture" at Tokyo University in 1995, said it was his deliberate aim to brainwash the next generation of young Japanese leaders. It looks like ten years later his efforts have borne fruit.

It does sound rather theatrical, but the term is Okada's; he even wrote a book called THE BRAINWASHING SOCIETY in which he analysed the battle for minds and worldviews in the contemporary world.
