Anime otaku are inviting their possible brethren to see just how badly they place on this ranking of the most pernicious signs someone has progressed to the level of otaku…
The ranking (which specifies only “otaku” or “ota” but is obviously chiefly referring to anime otaku):
1. You only listen to anime songs now
2. You have no interest in 3D
3. You just can’t stop listening to seiyuu voices
4. You go to Animate [the store chain]
5. You gladly pour all your passion, money and time into otaku pursuits
6. The posters in your room? All anime
7. You instantly pronounce the most hard to comprehend anime titles correctly
8. You’ve got all the character profiles memorised, all of them…
9. You sit around fantasising all the time about you know what
10. If the talk turns to your favourite anime you can no longer control yourself
11. You actually check seiyuu blogs
12. You even admit you are an otaku
13. You’re amassing doujinshi
14. You’ve been listening to anime web radio shows
15. You attend anime and seiyuu events
16. Nobody wants anything to do with you! ｡ﾟ(ﾟ´Д｀ﾟ)ﾟ｡
17. You could not possibly live on without anime in your life
18. You buy anime dakimakura covers
19. You’re sure to buy up all volumes of the DVD and original work
20. Other people even call you “otaku”
21. You make use of the word “moe”
22. You have played love sims at some point
23. You actually got all the references in Haiyore! Nyaruko-san
24. You become exceedingly busy in the run up to certain summer and winter festivals
25. You call Chitanda Eru “Erutaso”
See also the rather different ranking of same, as compiled by non-otaku.
>>11. You actually check seiyuu blogs
Maybe I’m the odd one out, but I don’t really give a damn about Seiyuu.
It seems I am cured!
1.
Not only. But from approx 27GB of music on my PC at
least 3/4 is anime OST, and part of other is
JPop/JRock.
2.
Whoa? Wrong! Maya…
3.
It`s good after all but what they mean “can`t stop”?
I “hate” dub after all (“hate” – means – I know some
of other like it but there`s nothing to do, but I
dislike it), but i didn`t get a thing – what they
mean?
4.
Not know what`s that (probably my bad engrish)
5.
1/3 of mind resources. No more – no less.
That enough.
6.
No one. They all in my head.
7.
Reason is other. But mostly correct.
8.
No one in this world can do that IMHO.
All what seen, they mean?
9.
Not so enlightened, and still have a some to do.
10.
Control! Yourself! If you cannot – at least learn
how to create sandboxes in your mind.
11.
No. Simply get more anime – it better.
12.
I don`t care about that words.
13.
Yes.
14.
It`s a waste of traffic, that can be used for anime.
15.
Some.
16.
I don`t want to do anything with they too.
17.
May be. But I cannot check it, since memorized so much, there`s no way to clear memory, fulled with
anime-related things.
18.
May be later, but it`s some betrayal of 2D,
don`t you think?
19.
In Soviet Russia… You know what I mean…
20.
What? Other peoples? In my life? May be.
But I don`t care.
21.
Yes. If I see it. And I see it…
frequently, but not so.
22.
At that moment. Yeah.
23.
I actually don`t know what the subj is. But added it to queue of TODO.
24.
Not right.
25.
Same as 23.
At the end. The OP, IMHO, have a some narrow angle
of view to Otaku, also quantity of points is tailored
to be a semi-round number. But no one have a wide
enough look, and thanks for sharing knowledge – its
only the way to get a bit nearer. Sorry my bad engrish.
YES! I’M NORmAL!
They forgot the real number one true otaku sign:
Celebrating the “Birthday” of anime characters!
Anyone who is not as irrational enough as to do that is just an anime fan in my books
