You might be addicted to anime, if....

[joelgundam01]

Here I am running into the same problem, that I ran into last week and after watching a few stand ups on Comedy Central. I think I've came up with a fun New Year's game, that might need to be moved to the Off Topic thread, if it gets a little out of hand.

I think everyone knows those "You might be a red neck, if..." jokes. Let's substitute "red neck" with "addicted to anime" and see what we come up with. I'll go first and you'll see what I ran into last week.

You might be addicted to anime, if...
...your body clock gets messed up, because of reading Shawne's weekly TRSI post a day early. :sd:

Yeah! On Christmas, I kept on thinking it was Friday and it went like that until I got to Sunday.

Ah, and here was my 2007 Christmas dinner (http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/1240/dscf0163hu3.jpg). As for this year, I just played RPGs.^^U

[Serial Experiments Nobue]

I forgot one that should have been plainly obvious to me...

You might be addicted to anime, if...
...your online persona is that of a fictional character.




...or is it (fictional)? :devil:

[Draneor]

I think it's kind of cool. And really, it's not meant to be taken seriously. It's just good old fashioned otaku self-depreciating humor. In any case, there is no need to pity anyone that enjoys their life, however they wish to live it.

[Suwako Moriya]

Ah, but fictional characters exist outside of anime.

Guilty. I always feel most pathetic at times like this. The fact that I'm not alone makes me feel bad for those others out there feeling like this too.

I never feel like I'm missing out on the alcohol part though. I think it's the single most overrated social activity in the universe. Of course I'm biased since the powers that be gifted me with a body that reacts to alcohol in much the same way most people react to a minor OD on sleeping pills. :relief:

[HitokiriShadow]

You might be addicted to anime, if...

I would think it would be the opposite. You might be (and probably are) addicted to anime if you need an Excel document to keep track of what you are collecting.

[superdry]

Hehe...I think that too...either wife or girlfriend. I sometimes think to myself it would be interesting to date a girl like Shana or Louise.

Let's see...I have one partition just generically named "ANIME." My laptop is named Lucky Star, and the majority of my DVD collection is anime.

Anywho...

Uou might be addicted to anime, if your bookcase is filled with manga and light novels (and you own series in both formats!) as your only reading material.

[mato45]

My anime DVDs are my entire DVD collection.

I feel kind of awkward having my sole exception being there, which I got for free at work.

Anyway, I have to go with having anime dreams. My Berserk and Magic Knight Rayearth crossover dream was both extremely bizarre and quite memorable! :p

[Garasharp K7]

You can sing the OPs and EDs of shows even though you don't speak Japanese.

You might also be addicted if...

You look at most of the posts here and say "Me too", "I've done that", "ditto" and "I have that pillowcase", etc.

[Kellory]

I'm so glad I apparently am not addicted to Anime.

Well, I might be based on the number of DVD's one. I'll have to check since I dont have a real count, it'll be close though between Anime DVD's and non-Anime ones. I only have the Anime ones on shelves though, everything else is stacked in various spots and in the spare bedroom since I dont watch a lot of it very often. Why the heck do I have Supernatural anyway? Seasons of Buffy. Stuff like that. The Star Trek collection alone is probably over 200 discs, and that's just a small bit. Scary, but regular DVD's are so much cheaper than Anime and friends tend to sell me their used normal DVD sets cheap.

I did watch Anime on New Year's Eve, but mostly I slept through it. I try to ignore New Year's up here because it just gets me homesick and frankly...it's boring compared to Hawaii. That and I cant drink so even that part of it is rather pointless.

The collage...hmmm...no dont think I can identify half of them. I see some Fate/Stay Night, Rozen Maiden, Shuffle, and I think I saw a Strawberry marshmallow shot in there. I dont think that's half though.

Oh, btw...I really didnt need to see that shot in the bottom left corner...probably qualifies the picture for a (NSFW) tag as well... Kinda funny...but so didnt need to see it.

Hmmmm...well, my online handle is that of a fictional person I suppose...but it's not Anime related so I dont think that counts. If anything it shows my addiction to AD&D and MMO's. My personality is me though.

Huh. Yeah, sadly I dont appear to be addicted to Anime. Dont think I can come up with anything to add either.

You might be addicted to Anime if you think a 12 step program is a new Haruhi or Kodocha dance routine?

[Draneor]

Apparently though, it didnt matter, as apparently I did come up short on the Non-Anime to Anime DVD count by a few hundred. Guess I need to go off and find some cheap deals on non-Anime boxsets. heh.

Well...by few I mean about 800 fewer non-Anime DVD's. Which sounds like a lot till you look at how many Anime ones I have. /Sigh. It's less an addiction and more a way of life at this point I think.

I only own something like two non-anime DVD's. That's like 2% of my collection, though it doesn't include video games.

[Blackthornhiei]

...you name your cat Luna, after the Sailor Moon character.


My bunny is named Arashi, after that Clamp character.



...your anime DVDs comprise the majority of your total DVD collection.

My collection is half anime and half non-anime. Though I don't know where the Azumi movies stand in this case. It's live-action but based on the manga...

[Suwako Moriya]

Though I don't know where the Azumi movies stand in this case. It's live-action but based on the manga...

If the movies are live action then I'd count them as live action. Any given adaptation should be categorized solely based on the format of the adaptation and the format of the source material should not be relevant to the categorization.

This is probably the simplest way to do it. After all source material to adaptation can happen in a variety of ways. Manga to Anime, Manga to Live Action, Anime to Manga, Game to Manga. Heck there are cases where both the manga and anime are adaptations. You probably get the idea by now.

[something]

Considering how many different characters have the same name it is not that hard to accomplish.
Same given names or family names, sure, but I'm always amazed how few (important) characters actually share the same full name combination. It's like there's a central registry of anime character names people check before naming their characters, because just taking danbooru as an example, I can't think (off the to of my head) of a single full name tag for any character that conflicts exactly with any other character.

[Classical]

You might be addicted to anime, if....

Heh, I wonder how many here are guilty of that. Truth be told sometimes I do it as a silly way of indicating that a girl in a given series is a strong favorite. In some ways it becomes more of an alternative to saying favorite than anything serious. Or is it? *Dramatic music*.

I also like to use "(insert female character name) is my wife" as a way to indicate that they're a favorite of mine. Though they also have to be especially awesome to have that honor. Examples being Shana, Saber, and Rin Tousaka.

Hah, but killing off your own people is actually beneficial if you want to add to your count for Dark Knight, I guess (on the PSP version).

One time I dismissed all of my start up people and got new ones so I could name them, and I had a Princess Tutu theme going on with my team (even gave them abilities that made them like characters - Drosselmeyer was a Mediator who could Teleport, Tutu was a Geomancer with White Magic and Ignore Height, Kraehe was a Oracle with Black Magic, Abandon, and Fly, etc.)

If you have ever bought a CD for an anime you haven't seen.

Or a game you haven't played. After hearing a single track from Tomoyo After by coincidence I had to have that CD.

Now that is how you raise a child. ::thumbs up::

Wow, that really is quite awesome. It's interesting to know infants find it very addicting too. :)

Yeah :sweat:

Basically, it started out months ago in the car when my wife & I got sick and tired of Baby Einstein and decided to try out Dango Daikazoku since it sounds like a wicked kids song to begin with. Surprisingly, it worked and she would stop crying in the car as long as the song was on.

At some point, we started having trouble putting her to sleep around 9 or 10 months and so we moved the song onto the CD player in her room. It worked again! (sound asleep)

However...at some point she started pointing and making frustrated noises towards the CD player at random hours of the day. She wanted us to put the song on!

She would actually complain when we would put it on but forget to set the repeat button (in the sense that the song would finish playing). XD

Currently, she insists that the song be turned on anytime she's in her room regardless of the activity.

She will point, say something like, "da, da, da", and will then start humming the song once it comes on, "da...da...da...humh, humh".

It's freaking incredible.

Right now we're trying to avoid having her watch TV purposefully, but what's usually on when she's there with us is anime DVDs or currently airing JP stuff (playing off the PS3).

If anything, she's got CCS waiting for her when's she ready :bigsmile:

…you can identify characters and discuss detailed plot points from anime shows you haven't seen.
Or can identify the work of a (hentai) anime studio merely based on an image's color palette. :sd:

On a related note, for my first car I had a printout of a Ryo-Ohki "Cabbit on Board!" bumper sticker in my rear window for a time.

I should print a new one out and do that again. :bigsmile:


...and until now I completely forgot about my NERV Parking Permit that's been on my front windshield since the day that Eva Platinum vol. 1 was released! I'm just so used to it being there now that I think nothing of it anymore. :sd:

You might be addicted to anime, if...

...you name your cat Luna, after the Sailor Moon character.

...you have an anime playlist in iTunes.

...your computer's hard drives all have anime-related names.
......and they are all from the same show.

...your anime DVDs comprise the majority of your total DVD collection.

How did you know the name of that kitten I gave away? And when did you look on my MacBook? :) I also have rabbits named after Yuna and Ren in Maburaho, and the last time my cat had kittens, they had various anime names including Shippo and Utena.

I think I know where you live . . . .



You might be addicted to anime, if...
Your credit card company contacts you monthly to verify suspicious charges to places like TRSI, HMV.jp, and HLJ.


You might be really addicted to anime, if...
your bank no longer calls you about suspicious charges to places like HJL, HSJ, TRSI and Amazon.co.jp . . . .


I plead guilty

I discovered what became one of my favorite bands through an anime OP... The Delgados, after Gunslinger Girl. It wasn't more than a year later that I had gotten all of their CDs.

Same here actually. I love the Delgados and was sad to see them break up. At least we have Emma Pollock's fantastic solo work to console us. :)

I'd be worried if I start hearing nothing but breathing when I answer the phone.

You consider your baby's first word to be "Uguu..."

:sweat:

[wagr]

Your local librarian calls you to check on what to add to their collection. (Two different counties now.)

You study Japanese (language) so you can understand (some of) what they are really saying.

Your ebay stars are due to filling out your collection.

Friends call you to find out if an ebay listing is bootleg or legit.

You use words real Japanese folks consider archaic.

You've ever heard the words, "Oh, Sakura and Minako!" coming from someone passing by your office.

You safekeep your anime calendars for years when the days-of-week match. Also, you consider the cute zoo animal calendar to be "boring."

Guilty:
> anime to non-anime DVD collection ratio: 98:1
> anime to non-anime CD collection: 1:1
> anime wallscroll to non-anime poster collection: 5:1
> my bank no longer calls about charges to places like TRSI and Amazon.co.jp
> discovered bands through anime, none count as favourite, but I have purchased dozens of non-anime CD's because the artist/band did an anime tune (which count against the ratio above).
> can identify several seiyuu just from the sound of their voice.

Failure:
> manga to other book collection: 1:4
