Interesting topic for the next issue of Otaku Magazine:
http://otakumag.com/v5/nextissue.html

How and when it will happen… nobody knows. But it is certain that, if there will be some to live afterwards, all of them will be Otaku. May it be a battle between giant robots and the angels of the Apocalypse, a God Warriors holocaust which will transform the planet into a Toxic Wasteland ruled by giant sentient insects, the all-destructive blast of rage driven by frustrated mutant adolescents. Otakus have seen it all and more then once.

Maybe when this counter hits 2,147,483,647 it will be the end of everything.
