Otaku Boom
Associated with
Seichi Junrei (pilgrimage). It denotes instances where other Japanese industry sectors received economic boosts following the otaku's involvement in their business. For example, otaku visiting the Washinomiya Shrine featured in Lucky Star boosted the local economy. Some companies and interests outside of the otaku industry are starting to take advantage of this phenomenon. As a result, anime featuring real-life scenery are now more common than ever.
