"9. You sit around all the time fantasizing about you know what"
So I should fantasize about what I don't know what?
"15. You attend anime and seiyuu events."
Just Toracon annually for the last three years.
"22. You have played love sims at some point."
Love Hina Sim Date RPG is still a work of art, fuck you.
Other than these though, nothing fits.
2 3 8 11 18 19 23 25
Except those - all fit, mostly because some of them no idea what they are referring to.
19 because face it, I download my anime, and buy manga instead.
18: havent seen one yet :[
Not really fond of Seiyuu's though not totally true to all.
8: Im bad at remembering characters.
2: Fk no I love my all Dimensions.
I really do not understand the last one;
25. You call Chitanda Eru “Erutaso”
??
It's "Eru-tan", but "n" and "so" writes ﾝ and ｿ in katakana, and they look similar.
So, you pronounce as "Eru tan" but writes "Eru taso"
1,4,5,6,7,17,22, and the other is a no. Is this enough to to say that I am one as well?
When can we get some happy news about Japan? Not just the insulting people in certain categories or bad, messed up news...
Well if you want that you are in the wrong site XD
Sankaku only selects and posts about weird stuff about Japan.
aw =( ...okay
I came to this site a few days ago because of the sexy anime news and maybe some stuff about Japan, but all I been seeing was bad stuff about it.
lol, you need to figure out their twisted sense of humor. As long as you don't come in taking everything at face value, there are actually profound and controversial topics that they touch...
lol
and explosions in china.
Go to an actual news site, this is just a biased blog reposting news and (often worthless shit) polls.
23...... that starts something... kind of obvious for a lot of matter which Seitokai no Ichizon also harbors.
erutaso means eru (taso in japanese means look like)
wad's 16. means? >.<
No sex for you.
Formerly Guilty:
5. You gladly pour all your passion, money and time into otaku pursuits
9. You sit around fantasising all the time about you know what
Still Guilty:
7. You instantly pronounce the most hard to comprehend anime titles correctly
10. If the talk turns to your favourite anime you can no longer control yourself
22. You have played love sims at some point
You can still be guilty for number 9
you can thank OreImo and AnoHana for number 7. double points if you can type it out in both romanji and kanji.
"You only listen to anime songs now"
"You sit around fantasising all the time about you know what"
Oh god, that's me.
me too
Suddenly I'm not alone.
yeah, me too
26. come across a random 2d picture and check out the girls on it.
* bro hug *
only 6 on the list fit me
in america it is easier to be an otaku that japan
4 ^^
And indeed it is mike
Played love sims, well that's the only point for me.
here here
"You sit around fantasising all the time about you know what"
dido
It's "ditto" unless you're actually talking about that crappy female singer, who was once in that Eminem music video with the guy who wants to be Eminem and drives a car off a bridge and kills himself and Dido, because she he locked her in the trunk/boot of the car.
Dumbass.
you nvr know, he might have meant
"dildos"
don't put words in someone's mouth.
Well, I do listen anime songs alot but not the crazy ones. Also, I find myself listening to Video games ost's as well, does that count? :/
I do download doujinshis but only by high quality artists so i wouldn't say I get them "en masse"
I wouldn't really say I'm an otaku bcuz I don't go hardcore like the actual ones do. I'd say I'm casual I guess...
You are in self-denial. If you are finicky about what you want, you are as hard-core as the indiscriminate, just in a different way.
Oh lol only #18 #24 #25 missed me XD the rest were right on mark
And 26, You check sankaku complex web site-
same here
my brethren!!!
OTKs UNITE!
lol yeah thats me as well. i prob satisfy 50-90% of these numbers here
Only the 6th. Actually is not in my room, just on a box.
7, 12, 17 and 22 are true... Does pirated doujinshi count on 13? And on 23 I think I got most of them...
So I only qualify for
#7 - You instantly pronounce the most hard to comprehend anime titles correctly
I guess I'm a poser anime fan.
Which titles to you consider hard to pronounce? Worst thing I encountered was a character name. He's called Nrvnsqr. Good luck pronouncing that one. (In Carnival Phantasm his Seiyuu actually managed to pronounce it, which blew my mind.)
Wow, none of these apply to me. I guess I successfully navigated out of the otaku hole (by moving to Japan, no less!) See, there's hope even for the worst shut in.
You come to Sankaku, but you've never tried playing a love sim before?
If FSN counts as one, I guess? Apparently "fapping to hentai" isn't one of the categories because it's mainstream, so I'm apparently safe.
i'm not really sure, but i think most games in the VN format are labeled as "eroge" or "Dating-sim"
not really a good stereotype if you ask me.
Don't worry about the mundanes - just enjoy what you like.
17. You could not possibly live on without anime in your life
15. You attend anime and seiyuu events - I only go to anime conventions
13. You’re amassing doujinshi (for me it's virtually anyway)
10. If the talk turns to your favourite anime you can no longer control yourself
9. You sit around fantasising all the time about you know what
7. You instantly pronounce the most hard to comprehend anime titles correctly - It took me an hour to learn how to say Ore no Imouto Ga Ko Nani Kawaii Wake Ga Nai correctly without bitting my tongue >w>
6. The posters in your room? All anime
5. You gladly pour all your passion, money and time into otaku pursuits - Figma and Gunpla FTW ^w^
1. You only listen to anime songs now - About 80% of all the music on my iPhone is anime... the other 20% is Tokusatsu >w>
Come on,.. you could do without anime. Just use visual novels, manga and light novels.
The 1st one should include Vocaloid songs, too.
2. You have no interest in 3D
11. You actually check seiyuu blogs
I like the contradicting choice.
16. Nobody wants anything to do with you! ｡ﾟ(ﾟ´Д｀ﾟ)ﾟ｡
And FBI is completely not interested in my stash of loli porn. Right?
21. You make use of the word “moe”
It brands you weaboo in the West. Many otakus there are usually in name only, not enough obsession.
