No, Otaku isn't cool period.
OtaGamer Says: There are many otaku who are cool or popular. Just because you enjoy Japanese anime, that doesn't mean that you are non-social. There are many famous otaku (one of the previous prime ministers of Japan was an otaku), and many people that enjoy anime have many friends and aren't known as nerds.
Otaku means an "obsessed" fan.
