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

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

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.

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, ", 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 [i]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.

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.

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.

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.

"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.

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.

Oh, yes. I recall that one. It's been a while since I've seen it, but I do remember thinking it was nice that Mandark, though he failed to seduce Dee-Dee, made a little friend. :) What...you mean those boys are more than just friends? :o
In the words of Blight Man:
There are 3 girls who share the same name, the Kankers, because they are sisters.
The Kankers (the surname is derived from a viral mouth sore or ulcer, Herpes simplex--:eek: ) are three scuzzy Southern girls who are forever trying to seduce the Eds. One of them is named May; I forget the other two (I seem to recall one starts with an L).
Maybe I'm in the minority, but I find E,E&E perversely amusing. What can I say--I've got a couple of brothers who are a lot like the Eds. :p

Joey - ever see that cartoon? No speculation necessary. Another thirty seconds and Genndy would have had to animate Mandark and Surfer Boy doin' it.
Belchie - I forgot, there IS gay innuendo in EE&E. That Jimmy kid with the braces who says "Whee!" like he learned it phonetically. Saw one where the Eds were trying to scam the neighborhood girls, and Jimmy was included somehow.
Those Nazz girls are so sex-crazed, it's easy to think of them as the Nads.

Yes, it's pretty scary that his friend Sara is a lot more masculine than he. I'm not sure what's more frightening, Jimmy the Fruity Boy or the bald kid who carries on converstations with a two-by-four with a face drawn on in crayon. Possibly a pseudo-autoerotiscism reference?

I saw him on DBZ the other night and immediately thought that he looked like Hollywood Hulk Hogan with a bad afro. It seems the writers are fans of our American wrestling--I swear one of Hercules' students looks like Stone Cold Steve Austin, and the reporter is basically Mean Gene Oakerlund with a bad rug. And I'm pretty sure Mihoshi of Tenchi Muyo's double-dipping, or she's got a sister, because I could swear I've seen a similar character on DBZ....

Not exactly. Someone on the DaisukeKen list had posted a fic that mentioned V-mon munching on pocky and a couple ppl were asking about it. It's not inherently yaoi in of itself buuuuuut....
Ken: "I am Kaizer"
Daisuke: "You can call me Davis."

Ken: "I don't want to sound like a queer or nothin', but pudding pocky kicks ass!"
Ok, that was real stupid, but I've had thoughts of writing a Digimon version of Orgazmo. Gabumon'd be perfect as ChodoBoy, what with that horn coming outta his forehead and all...

Hikari's a dime a dozen, as surprisingly are Yamakerus. I know I've seen a combo of them online, and it was freakish. Are you going to go for the trifecta and scan and post them to Iorifandom so we can all enjoy the insanity?

I'll certainly try to get some type of scanner access ASAP. I've got lots of pics from V-Jump's latest issue and Digimon season finale/movie 4 special(Sora looks great in pigtails), the last few issues of Animedia (fanart and official pics), and this booklet I got with a CD... In it, the 02 kids get stuck taking kind of test... Ken gets all the questions right, Iori get 95%, Takeru and Hikari both get 90% Miyako get 80%... And Veemon proudly shows off Daisuke's 25%. There's also a pic of Miya daydreaming about Mimi and pink poo. Not as creepy as the V-Jump special picture of her leering at Mimi, Lillymon or both, but it's pretty close.
