Happy Valentine’s and Happy Beta Launch Day!
To celebrate, we’re beta launching the Untitled Drama Site, named Drama-Otaku.com, that we’ve been working on for the past 3-4 years (I’ve seriously lost track).

Our Mission

To create an inclusive and welcoming online community for fans of Japanese entertainment.

What is Drama-Otaku?

A platform and online community built from the ground up for Japanese Entertainment fans and fansubbers alike.

Painpoints

  • Major mainstream sites focus on Korean entertainment and this has drowned out Japanese entertainment.
  • “Owners/entrepreneurs” who have no vested interest in the Japanese entertainment domain or its fans.
  • Platforms hacked and built upon forums and wikis are outdated, hard to maintain, and aren’t user-friendly.
  • Restrictive online communities that are unwelcoming.

Our Solution

  • Focus on Japanese dramas, movies, and specials.
  • We love Japanese entertainment! Some of us have been fans since high school–that means decades of passion for J-ent!
  • Built a platform from the ground up with requirements from fans and fansubbers.
  • Strive to create an online community that follows a simple rule: Treat others how you wanted to be treated.

With that out of the way, here’s some links and tips to help you get the most out of the site during this beta phase.
