Otaku Hot Girl

"Otaku Hot Girl" is a song by American rapper Megan Thee Stallion, released on June 28, 2024 from her third studio album Megan (2024). Produced by Bankroll Got It, it samples the theme song to the anime series Jujutsu Kaisen.

Background
Megan Thee Stallion revealed in an Instagram Live session on June 26, 2024 that she recorded the song before securing the clearance for the sample. On the night of June 25, 2024, she received an email from the production company demanding her to either remove her use of names of the show's characters in the lyrics or the entire sample and restricting her from cosplaying any characters in a music video. Due to these complications, Megan re-recorded the song without using names of the characters in a makeshift studio, hours before performing in Dallas as part of her Hot Girl Summer Tour.

Composition
The song contains trap production alongside a sample of the Jujutsu Kaisen theme music, and features an intro from Adam McArthur, the voice actor of series protagonist Yuji Itadori in the English dub, who says "I like a tall woman with a nice big ass. Just sayin'. Like Grammy winner Megan Thee Stallion." Megan makes references to Jujutsu Kaisen characters in the lyrics, such as Satoru Gojo, as well as Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha from Naruto.

Critical reception
The song received generally mixed reviews. Music critics have compared the song to "Mamushi", another track from Megan. Karen Gwee of NME commented the song "sounds like the shonen-spirited flex she was destined to write." Mankaprr Conteh of Rolling Stone praised the line "Bitch they not pro-you, they anti-me", which she cited as an example of when Megan Thee Stallion "lets her jokes and entendres simmer", and regarded "Mamushi" to be not as "exciting" as "Otaku Hot Girl". Alphonse Pierre of Pitchfork had a negative reaction, writing "Bankroll Got It's drum-heavy flip of the soundtrack is uninteresting—though it's not like he's working with an anime renowned for its music—and the character references are earnest but unbearably corny." Lucas Martins of BPM stated the song "attempts to bring Megan's love for Japan into the mix, but the overbearing trap production muddles its uniqueness."

Music video
An official music video premiered on July 3, 2024. It shows various clips of Megan Thee Stallion's trip to Japan earlier in the year, including those of her presenting at the 8th Crunchyroll Anime Awards, meeting fans, shopping, eating local food, singing karaoke, cosplaying and going to Universal Studios.
