Quote from Darkchime

11. Get piss when a Fan-Subber group get a translation wrong.

12. Buy the legal version of manga because reading it online isn't enough.

13. Buy the legal version of manga because you want to make sure the Scanlator got it right.

14. Refuse to watch an anime unless it is in sub.

15. Start to find the English language grating - Even though it is your first language.

reasons why those won't make you an otaku:

11. that happens to everyone whether or not they're otaku who watch fansubs.

12. Also true for anything else that can get gotten on the internet.

13. The official version doens't always get it right either. Ever read about half of the crap Tokyopop prints or for an even clearer example, Del Rey's crappy initial translation of Negima. How did they confuse thousand with southern 😔 Also, you should buy it anyway to support the publishers and to a lesser extent the mangaka.

14. So you're a purist. It's not just an otaku thing.

15. Rule of thumb is most dubs suck anyway. The exceptions are Cowboy Bebop, Gilgamesh, Lain, Haibane Renmei, and Beck. There are also exceptionally crappy dubs. Excel Saga and Shin-chan are good examples of crappy dubs that are better than the subs.

Another one. As much as I hate to say this also makes you otaku. Knowing what is and isn't otaku. 😕

Sarcasm just doesn't work over the internet.

You know you are otaku or borderline when

— People come to you for anime or manga recommendations.

J-SiS.NET - Feed your Josei addiction.

Quote from roniz

— Recognize the voice actors from various anime
— Sing the opening and closing theme to your favorite anime 😁

Those are the only one's I am guilty of. Does that mean I am an otaku?

Oh please say no.

-- When you can tell each of your friends what manga will best suit them and give them a handful of reasons why it is perfect for them x.x

-- Also when you shirk homework and even your social life so you can idly search for new releases of your favourite manga, even though you know they can't possibly be posted yet

-- Start a series you don't particularly like, but you read it anyways just for the sake of reading manga 😛

From the manga: Good Luck, Demon King!

Quote from Darkchime

2. When you stay in your room for three months after you lost your job. Only to watch anime. To a lesser extent eat and sleep - When it doesn't interfere with your anime watching.

3. Are surprised when other don't know the acronyms of the anime/manga about which you are talking.

4. Try to convert others by talking up your fav. anime. - Even co-workers

5. Go into work with what could be a hang over, but is actually lack of sleep headache - 'Cause you had to watch all the latest episode release of your fav. anime that night. You had too; you didn't want too.

6. Have favorite Fan-Subbers. - or Scanlators groups.

7. You get pissed when a Fan-Subber group get a translation wrong.

8. Buy the legal version of manga because reading it online isn't enough.

9. Refuse to watch an anime unless it is in sub.

10. Realize that when you fantasized about wining the lotto - You're really fantasizing about all the mange and anime you'll buy.

11. Find yourself considering buying the raws then paying someone to translate - 'Cause the Scanlators are taking too long.

12. Fantasize about which manga characters you would do - Or rape

13. Realize that you have over 20 reason why you are a otuku.

Guilty as charged. And not only those, but many, many more that have already been mentioned. Like recognizing manga characters (Midori from Tenshi Nanka Ja Nai in Gokinjo Monogatari, for instance...), or seyiuus from different series...

BTW, I took the test and got

You answered "yes" to 112 of 200 questions, making you 44.0% otaku pure (56.0% otaku corrupt).
Your Weirdness Factor (AKA Uniqueness Factor) is 27%, based on a comparison of your test results with 91823 other submissions for this test.

Yay, I'm a shameful otaku! (well, I know there's nothing to be proud of... but I am proud of it anyway!).

You know you're a real otaku when
... you realize just how much of an otaku you really are... and instead of being ashamed of this obsession or realize you are in need of serious help, you're actually pleased. (<-- guilty)

-when you get offended if someone mispronounces the name of the manga/anime characters you like. XD
-argue with someone else because s/he is bashing anime/manga
-when you'd rather starve and save up so you can buy manga

• hate other people mistreating your manga. [The covers and pages get folded if they fold the manga really hard!!!!!]
• want to seek being a mangaka and starting your own manga series. XD
  -when you'd rather buy manga than buy wii games. XD
  -when you don't like dust to touch your manga because of the fear that it might start to turn the pages yellow...and turning it into deterioration. D=

"Beware How You Take Hope From Another Man."

-you have a whole cabinet devoted to figures.

-you own one of those body pillows with anime characters on it.

-you picture yourself in a manga/anime.

You know you are otaku or borderline if you

— Recognize the voice actors from various anime

— Crave REAL ramen
— Sing the opening and closing theme to your favorite anime 😁
— If you know what reverse harem means
— Check for a release every 15 minutes or less
— Watch/read your favorite completed anime/manga series more than twice a month

Any more to add to the list?

—Have your favorite manga or anime charater on your desktop,myspace page, youtube, and etc etc etc
—watch sub anime of fave manga if it isn't out in english or the dub just suck
—want to even watch a sub anime

I've been doing this alot lately and I always have to a bishie with me
—lol know what a bishonen means 😛

lol I stop denying iwas a otaku but who would imagine! 🤣

christ this is scary. i can say yes to all questions. definatly for the sub anime. i waste alot of my time searching the internet for the subbed. if i cant find it and the dubbing is up to standerd, then i watch it. but there are some really bad ones out there which make my ears bleed (rave master)

for no. 2: haha i recently quit my job and for the first 3 weeks all i did in the time i wud have been workin, i read manga and watched anime 😔

i also am able to reconise to the voice actors which is quite sad. i'll think; i know ive heard this voise before, its from......i will look it up and 99% of the time i am right.

if i won the lotto, afer buying a nice house, i wud stock up on loads of anime manga. maybe even have a room dedicated to it (if i won big time that is) have a big tv and a couch. 😃

MU dies and you got angry since you can't find new manga. 😲

You know you are an otaku when...

...people start calling you an otaku.

Think about it. Some people get so infatuated with the manga and anime culture, that they wouldn't know how addicted they are and how deep they're into it until someone calls then an otaku. 😛

Just because someone's head was chopped off doesn't mean they're dead. That's just silly.

...when I know its definition in Wikipedia

"As long as we're seeing the same kind of musical vision, yeah, sure. But sometimes when things get hard, you balance out the pros and cons and say, am I being a wimp if I stay or am I being a wimp if I leave?" - D'arcy Wretzky

Quote from Rain1

...when I know its definition in Wikipedia

even my non-anime/manga/video game lover friends now the definition of Otaku. 😮
