La comunicación en los creadores de contenido otakus españoles: Lolweapon y Wade Otaku

Abstract

The social phenomenon otaku (manga-anime fans) attracts more and more followers, and it gets more relevant thanks to the feedback given by the way they relate and develop their hobbies, its influence among young people and, ultimately, on the global market. This paper carries out a mixed investigation, whose first objective is to identify the most followed communicators among the Spanish otaku collective and their most used online platform to access their content. The second objective is to acknowledge the identified communicators approach to the public regarding their publications and other kinds of content. The results of the surveys carried out during the elaboration of this essay conclude that Wade Otaku and Lolweapon stand out among the Spanish otaku community, being YouTube the most used platform to access the content. Manga-anime related topics make up their most watched videos. However, they both differ in some features such as publication frequency, content format and audiovisual resources. Even though Lolweapon does have more subscribers, Wade Otaku's metrics corroborate a greater interaction with the public.
