[Batmex]

You have dreams with subtitles
You have every CD from your favorite series
You only watch Cartoon Network because it has Toonami
You Sing the theme song of your favorute series all the time

any other symptoms?

[I.R Joey]

You power up before a "Your Mother joke."

Instead of going through puberty you have "Transformation sequances"

You have a pet Cabit.

You spout philisophical jargon before fighting your battles.

When you cry you shed 1 gigantic tear, or a waterfall.

You drive a mech to school/work.

Once there you transform it and park in the Otaku space.

You only date cat girl or bad boys that take joy in blowing up things.

You want to give Funimation and Pioneer your ultimate attacks (unedited of coarse)

You speak Pokemon

[RockItShipper]

I can curse in Pokemon.

[HellCat]

When you break something,it flashes and blows up 5 seconds later.

When someone stuns you you fall over and land with your feet in the air.

When someone says something stupid,your eyes go real small and a large sweatdrop appears.

All the girls you know have really long legs

If you're a female,you carry a large mallet everywhere you go

[don Jaime]

Your eyelids blink upwards.

You never say "Yes." You just say "Mmm-hmmm!" and nod vigorously.

You eat strange round doughnuts with no holes in them and everything you drink comes in a pop-top can.

When surprised, you open your mouth wide and say "Ahhhh!"

Half your height is hair. You never comb it and it sticks straight out in all directions.

OR

Your hair is short, except for the bit that hangs over half your face, and is NOT black, brown, red, or blonde.

You wear a sailor suit, and you graduated years ago.

You're a girl and your underwear shows at all times.

At some point in your life, you have found use of a sword.

You train obsessively.

[Kylewayne]

You know you have been watching too many cartoons when you:

dream of being married to Batman/Bruce Wayne.

start calling your sister pokémon names:P

start downloading all the songs of the animated series of Escaflowne or other favorite anime songs.

got to the movie theatre to see an animated movie

[Inque]

You know you love Inque too much when.........


......i'll save this super long list for another day.

[Inque]

reminds me of a "you know you love terry mcginnis too much when" post from a long time ago. i checked it out and that original message board post is still there. its at the batman beyond board over at old boards, in archive one, two or three. i forget which ones, but its really early in the archives. for me, just replace terry with inque.

[DR. BELCH]

I can swear a blue streak in Spanish. That may mean I've spent too much time in foreign language classes, though. Pero es una otra historia.

You may be too much into anime when ...
...you call your dog by saying, "[insert dog's name here], I choose you!"
...you sigh/cough and a white vapor cloud comes out of your mouth, even if it isn't below 32 degrees out.
...you find yourself smitten with a hauntingly pretty, bland-voiced female android.
...you're a guy who can put on a bikini top and magically grow massive mammaries (but some [punk] American censor cuts that scene and ruins the story flow).
...you bleed profusely from the nose when you get carnally aroused.
...you've met your daughter/son from the future.
...you lived another life millennia ago in another country or on another world, as a monarch, nobleman/woman, soldier and/or traitor. (Or you might be on Roswell.)
...you don't hear the name "Ecsaflowne" and think immediately of a feminine hygiene product.
...you're making croquettes but call them dumplings for some odd reason.
...a boyishly-dressed thirteen-year-old girl harbors a secret lust for you and has a tendency to crassly express herself via vicious ear pulls.
...you're an average-looking slob with the personality of a soggy teabag, yet half a dozen dames are inexplicably gaga over you.
...your cat teaches itself to talk.

[HellCat]

I see yet another person is happy with the dub of the Pokemon episode "Holiday At Acollpoco (spelling?)". Hopefully,if they dub "Legend of Dratini" (which is an important episode) they won't hack it to bits.But they probably will.

[Daughterof_Evil]

1)A threat you commonly use is, " Don't make me go Panzer Kunst on your ass,"

OR

" Don't make me go Sailor-V on your ass,"

2)Think that Tira Misu is the perfect date for Akio Ohtori.

3)Don't think that hermaphrodism is weird.

4)Love guys with long hair

OR

Love girls in sailor uniforms.

5)Frequently ask a nearby friend, "Hey, doesn't he look like Touga?"

OR

"Hey, doesn't she look like Belldandy?"

then promptly get starry-eyed as they sweat-drop.

6)Have mobbed any man/woman who mildly acts like or resembles a cute anime guy/girl.

7)Think that a cap, leather pants, and suspenders (and nothing else) constitutes a suitable outfit.

[/Homer Simpson]Mmmmm...tiramisu.[/Homer Simpson]

[mxyzptlk]

you have watched to much anime when you have seen one episode

[Batmex]

You want the buildings in your city to descend like those in Tokyo 3

"Baka" becomes part of your everyday vocabulary

You'r girlfriend paints her hair with an outrageous color to win your love.

You run like crazy when somebody says "Angel".

You call your younger/older brother "ottoto/Nessa"

You keep your tapes/DVD in a safe when you are away.

[RockItShipper]

RE: "Legend of Dratini"... Personally, I think the frequency of gun use is too prevalent for it to be salvaged for the dub. I'd say about five minutes would have to go(I have both unaired Pokeepisodes on video) and given that the Pokedub keeps to the original's 1 mid-show commercial break, there's not a lot of leeway in terms of running time.

But onto the list....

You buy episodes of anime shows directly taped off tv, so you can see them way before anyone else, with the original voice acting and commercials.

You find it a little too amusing when characters from different anime have the same names in the original. Like Pokemon's Taito: "Cassidy"(Yamato) and "Mikey" (Taichi, Eevee trainer from series 1) (I'll stop before I bring up Pokemon's Sakura, Daisuke, etc.) It's even worse if you've written "Butch"/"Matt".

You imagine what would happen if characters voiced by the same VA switched places.

That blonde French girl on Digimon was actually "Ash-ley".

You start seeing yaoi relationships in US television and film- from Dexter's Lab to The Emperor's New Groove to The Mummy Returns.

[nightwing_38116]

You want to name your first born son Gohan.

All the music you listen to is in Japanese.

Tenticles turn you on.

You analyze the symbolism of DBZ.

You get into flame wars over fansubs.

You know what a fansub is.

You try to speak Japanese when you barely can speak English.

You write your name or get a tattoo in kanji.

You know what kanji is.

You wish that you were Ranma to fufill some twisted sexual fantasy.

You have a penguin living in your bathroom.

[RockItShipper]

You write entries from experience, identify with others posted here(I'm not saying which) and ultimately don't care.

Tendo Akane looks hot with long hair, d****t!

Zechs Marquise and Oikawa Yukio should consider pigtails. Seriously.

You listen to CD Dramas even when you don't know a whole lot of Japanese.

"Nurse Joy" is the true evil of Pokemon. Pity "Mewtwo" for being a pawn in her twisted game.

[DR. BELCH]

"Nurse Joy" is the true evil of Pokemon. Pity "Mewtwo" for being a pawn in her twisted game.

The crew at Pokemopolis insist the true evil of Pokemon is Togepi. Personally, when I see the little egg-thing, the first thought in my mind is, "Bring me a cheese Pokemon, and I'll make breakfast for everybody."
I remember thinking when I first saw Giovanni in "Island of the Giant Pokemon" that he looked a lot like Dr. Claw from Inspector Gadget--face in shadows, deep voice, always stroking a cat. He's a pretty bad dude, IMO.

A few more. If...
*...your most trusted mentor and advisor looks like a tiny Pooh Bear with wings...
*...when frightened or dejected your complexion breaks out in blue lines....
*...you leave home and go globetrotting without your parents before you hit puberty...
...you might be an anime nut.

You start seeing yaoi relationships in US television and film- from Dexter's Lab to The Emperor's New Groove to The Mummy Returns.

??? Are you suggesting that Mandark may secretly be lusting after Dexter? I'm afraid to ask what you think of Ed, Edd, and Eddy--I mean, there's a girl named "Nads" and a boy they call "Double D".

You...identify with others posted here (I'm not saying which)...

My ears are burning. [color=****] No, wait, that's my butt. I have to stop buying that cheap toushie tissue. [/color]

Post 101!

[don Jaime]

No, Belch, not Dexter. The segment is called "Sun, Surf, and Science" and is one of the few to feature Dee Dee and Mandark but not Dex. Mandark tries to win a surfing contest to get Dee Dee's attention away from an unnamed surfer boy until the end, when the boy saves Mandark from drowning. As Dee Dee collects first place, the two boys smile at each other and walk hand in hand into the sunset.

THE gayest thing I have ever seen in an American cartoon. I love it.

I thought all the girls on EE&E were called the Nads. I don't know. I hate that show.

She's called Naz,not Nads. There are 3 girls who share the same name,the Kankers,because they are sisters.They've mentioned all of their first names but they are very easy to forget.
