If you can sing you're favorite anime song perfectly and word for word

One of my favourite scenes in anime. *sigh* Nikaku order arrives next
week. Mail ordered stuff arrived last week. Must be the end of the term.
How about:
If you upgraded your computer to a 486DX2-66 and got a LARGE harddrive
just so you can download and play all of the quicktimes from various sites,
you know you are an Otaku.

Worse still, make quicktime movies (about 3 hours) find out that you
can't ftp from this STUPID computer! and so you have to spend another 2
hour segmenting the 13 MegaByte qt movie into individual HD disks, then
copying each segment to another computer's harddrive, joining them and
then uploading them to an ftp site.
Yeah, I'm doing this darn exact thing, pisses me off.. Have you ever
tried segmenting 13 MB ? Let me tell you it ain't fun.

Shows what you know... Lum, Ranma-chan, Nausicaa, and Laputa are on my jacket's
collar (It's as close as I come to lapels). The Catbus is a couple of inches
above one of the pockets.
Hmm... there's another one:

Well, it beats "Are those from [Speed Racer|Robotech]?" or "Oh, like

How did you know that.... I lurk for a year, only post 2-3 times, and you
knew..... WHO ARE YOU!!??!! :)
BTW:
If you've used subtitling scripts to try to figure out the plot to an anime
you've never seen..... you really need professional help.

Anyone need a system manager in Tokyo? I'm cheap, for Japan that is.
If you are on first name terms with certain seiyuu, you are in so deep
you may never be de-otakified.
If one of your favourite seiyuu takes your picture, you might be an otaku,
but you might just be lucky.
If you get up at 5am, travel to Makuhari and queue for hours just to see your
favourite seiyuu, you might be an otaku, you might just be mad.

All right, i just have to get in on this fun thread. ^_^
You might be an otaku if:
..You try to start a Ranma sing-along during your math final..
(this happened just this morning. ^_^)
..You had to buy about a gigabyte of extra storage space because you filled
your 1/2Gig HD with anime clips already
..Your friends keep asking you when your getting that inflatable Skuld doll
(despite the fact that you keep telling them it doesn't exist)
..Your college nickname has its origins in an Urusei Yatsura song
..You keep wondering when a small furry doll that looks like a rabbit and a
kitten will make it to the US
..Your friends know the words to "I, I, you and Ai" from listening to you
play it
Just a few from personal experience. ^_^ I'm sure there's more but i
have to go study for more finals.

Hmmm... the irony here is striking...
I just spent the last 3 hours as follows:
1. Take gorgeous Gundam mech picture (300k JPEG) into university's
department of Computer Services (DCS) where they have a Canon Colour Laser
Copier (drool...)
2. As per instructions, load JPEG into postscript-translation computer.
Print to file.
3. PS file is 12.8 Megs. Mutter a bit.
4. Ask DCS technicians if they have a copy of PKZip.
5. Explain to DCS technicians what PKZip is (!)
6. Mutter more loudly. Go upstairs two floors to terminal room. FTP PKZip
into my account.
7. Go back downstairs to FTP server room. FTP PKZip onto a floppy.
8. PKZip file. Now 4 megs. Still won't fit.
9. Repeat steps 6-7 to get ARJ.
10. Arj file as a multiple-volume archive, using one disk (a neat trick if
you can do it.... lots of disk-flipping)
11. Out of space on printer server. Mutter very loudly, drawing stares.

You might be an otaku if your children learned Japanese from watching

You might be an otaku if you think Disney needs to put more cool robots

If you name your cat Jiji, Nuku Nuku, Luna, Artemis, or Shampoo...
You might be an otaku.
If you name your cat Kyoko, Red Battler, or Mikan...
You probably are.

This is funny story that happen to my friend several years ago.
I'll just call him Jake. Anyway, Jake was very much into anime and being
single with an engineering job gave him a lot of money to burn. Well, to
get to the point, he went to Japan one time and bought a lot of LDs. I
mean a lot of LDs. So much that he went over his weight limit. He
finally came home _with_ his LDs, but he's gonna need a new vacation
wardrobe because its stuck back at Tokyo International Airport! I ROTFL
when I heard this. A true otaku.

Sorry, I don't have the COMPLETE list....but here is my original posting!
Some of you may have heard of Jeff Foxworthy's "You might be a redneck..."

If you ever ate rice for a week because you spent your last dime on

If you have so many video tapes you use them as furniture....you might be
an otaku.
If you have replaced all those boring desktop patterns with the faces of
Akane, Belldandy, and Lum....you might be an otaku.
If you ever spent $30.00 on a magazine you can't even read....you might be
an otaku.
If you've ever called an anime mailorder shop and they recognized your
voice....you might be an otaku.
If you here the word "shampoo" and DON'T instantly think of Prell, VO5, or
Johnson&Johnson....you might be an otaku.
If you bought the laserdisc player with digital effects just so you could
look at those special effects frame by frame....you might be an otaku.
If you've been banned from listening to music at work because everyone's
tired of hearing that "damn wierd Japanese crap"....you might be an otaku.
If you're in your late 20's and your room is STILL full of Japanese
toys....you might be an otaku.
If you've got pictures in your wallet of the girls you WISH you could

If the interviews in "Otaku no Video" made you feel uneasy....you might be
an otaku.

I DID get it--from what little I can tell, the song actually uses
mah-jongg terms to express the <ahen> interesting relationship between
Ranma and Akane. The "shrew" bit comes from an attempt to translate
jajauma {wild horse}(also a pun on Ranma) to an equivalent English
expression.

The video quality - so lousy you need a separate sheet to read

The audio quality - so bad it makes Pinesalad productions look good!

I discovered fandubbing in a small (well, it started small, anyways) Seishun

entertainment system in the hotel room, and after some anime music videos
to warm up the crowd, they treated us with the two most hilarious fandubs
I've ever seen (nevermind that I've only seen 4 or 5):
Gundam 0069: The Jion Years: Imagine a cross between Gundam 0080: War in
the Pocket, the Wonder Years, and America in the 1960's. What more can I say?
Also:
Anime Bites. All about a small rock band trying to make it without selling
out and sacrificing their artistic integrity (with the obligatory kawaii
anime cat-girl, of course). Great music.
Believe me, Seishun Shitemasu is as good as Mr. Horn claims.

FFFF was in fact the (only) fandubbing project undertaken by Jerry
Cheadle and Shawn Alisea's VF/X-Hollow Western Isle. Jerry Cheadle is
currently attempting to secure financing for his own anime studio,
White Radish (he aspires to make an American OAV in anime style). I
also found FFFF to be very funny, and remarkable in that it manages to
satirize one of anime's most noted satires.

Gundam was, of course, long, long overdue for the Seishun Shitemasu
treatment. Ironically, they went after the best-written Gundam, the
idiosyncratic WAR IN THE POCKET. But it's a measure of my respect for
Seishun that I laughed even as they trashed Hiroyuki Yamaga's dialogue :-)
Anime Bites represents a new direction for Seishun, as it's as much a
parody as a spiritual transposition of the OAV it's based on (TO-Y)
from Tokyo to "Neo-Seattle." Often their "parody" dialogue was,
unbeknownst to them as they were writing, the same thing that was said
in the original. Anime Bites reflects Seishun's love of "loud,
intelligent" music and their own involvement with the vital San Diego
band scene--three local bands are featured on the dub's soundtrack.

You have NO worries. You can't possibly be an OTAKU...
this is the kind of bill a real ***** should have.
excerpt from bill for this month:
invoice date is 10th.
94.12.12 91,000
94.12.13 262,000
94.12.14 153,000
94.12.16 357,000
and that is just this week! there's more for today too!
In a good month, I only spend about 1mYen. In a bad one ...
Well, the bill for 3mYen stunned me. (KOR boxes ...)
lets see what we got. about 200 CDs, looked like about 50 LDs,
2 MI CD boxes, 12 Mac+1, 5 DUNE, 4 Blue Velvet, 30 Lodoss CDs,
10 Itsumo my darling CAV special, 5 Ranma 1/2 special (came
out today)
If you ever wanted to see how tiny 153,000yen looked, buy LDs.
you get about 30. Or 12kg.
...
Did you know theere is a TENCHIMUYO CD BOX in March? 10,000yen
for 5 CDs... including CDG Karaoke!!

How about giving me your VISA number? And I'll guarantee you
guys the charge of your life time:-) BTW, WHY??? Being an OTAKU is not
THAT addictive is it? I personally find Computers significantly more
addictive than cartoons. My ratio of fiance:
NECESSITIES: 40%
COMPUTERS: 50%
CARTOONS: 10%
Next year, I fear things would look lik:
NECESSITIES: 10%
COMPUTERS: 85%
CARTOON: 5%
Of course, 2 Years ago and last year, my spending looks like:
NECESSITIES: 30%
COMPUTERS: 30%
CARTOON: 40%
NOTE THAT CARTOON NEVER CROSS THE 50% MARK. And to think necessities
used to be in the 90% range (prior to computers).

Even more remarkable, it is probably the only fan dub I know of that doesn't
rely on cheap sex or Carl Macek jokes for it's main theme. Truely a work
of art.

I didn't originally intend to bring this up, but the only point of
disagreement I've found with Jerry Cheadle (whose efforts to emulate
Gainax in America I find very admirable) is his dislike for cheap sex
or Carl Macek jokes. I like both the relatively "clean" humor of FFFF
and the ultra-raw such as Pinesalad Productions' "How Drugs Won The
War" or Seishun Shitemasu's "Ranma 1/3."

If you fly to Japan for an anime event and to meet Peter and Hitoshi,
you're just nuts, trying to be Otaku. (takes a bow, this is me.)
And then, 8 months later, take Trish out to lunch, and meet Gaver, Akane,
and Conty for battletech in Chicago after meeting at the Anime-Condo of
Doom... its starting to look a lot like an otaku.

But he's turning 30 in a couple months! No more anime after that, just
enka and Samurai drama!
(Anyone remember a Samurai drama from the '60s featuring a samurai
called Shintaro and a ninja by the name of Tombe? I met someone called
Shintaro several years ago and he told me that EVERYONE he met from
South East Asia equated his name to the hero of that show..)
