[x]
At least, that's all I can think to call this :XD: (So don't get offended, what was I supposed to name it?!)

Basically I found this on somebody's journal (I SAW YOU RANDOMLY SO I'M SORRY I FORGOT YOUR NAME OTL) and I was like...I gotta try this :la: (Though I'm surprised "Elitist" isn't somewhere on here though XD)


[x] You've seen at least one anime.
[x] You've read at least one manga.
[x] You watch anime/read manga on a regular basis. (technically on a weekly basis, yes XD)
[x] You think that anime and western cartoons are two separate things. (They kinda are. I mean most of the cartoons I keep up with/fangasm over are in fact from Japan, and typically that's just the kind of stuff I go for- but I'd be lying if I said I didn't have a few select western cartoons that I like an awful lot.)
[x] You're in anime club. (I'm not right now, but since I was president of an anime club in high school, I should probably check this off the list anyway)
[ ] You've cosplayed at least once. (I haven't, but I did "dress up" in odd fashions at my first two cons)
[ ] You counted Halloween costumes from when you were a kid as cosplay.
[ ] You cosplay in public. (I probably would if I had money for it...and if it were a special occasion)
[x] You've been to at least one anime convention.
[ ] You cosplayed there. (STOP ASKING ABOUT COSPLAY)
[x] You traveled more than 200 miles to get there.
[ ] You like Japanese food.
[/] You like any of the following in particular: sushi, pocky, cheap ramen, ramune. (I literally only like half those things;; )
[x] You know that sushi isn't just raw fish.
[ ] You've made bento lunch. (I carried my lunch in a boxed-lid and handkerchief though- once)
[ ] You've made a charabento.
[ ] You go to the Asian shop on a regular basis.
[ ] You've actually been to Japan.
[ ] You've been to Japan solely for the anime, videogames or idols.
[ ] You're learning/know Japanese.
[ ] You're learning it to watch anime without subtitles. (ngl, I probably would do that, but I'm currently too lazy/need more reasons to learn the language. I'm not really "book smart" so yeah...)
[ ] You have Japanese blood.
[ ] You CLAIM to have Japanese blood.
[x] You're in love with a fictional character made by Japanese people.
[ ] You claim you're married to said fictional character. (tch, I wish. Though as for the character in question, lately I've been...confused, I guess.)
[/] Anime is so much better than western cartoons. (I only half-agree with this. If you can find me a western cartoon that can easily topple Cowboy Bebop, Gurren Lagann, and pretty much any of my personal favorites, be my Guest. On the other hand, though, I'm a HUGE, huge fan of the Venture Brothers- and even then the most that animation does is lay down base colors, without even bothering to do shadows and highlights unless it's night time or something. But I think that's paying tribute to the style it was originally parodying.)
[ ] You call all cartoons anime.
[/] Anyone who hates anime is dead to you. (I wouldn't say "dead", but I do avoid them like the plague if they dislike it enough to use the word "hate")
[/] You call characters by their original Japanese names (Usually? Though Satoshi is always gonna be Ash Ketchum to me lol)
[ ] You call characters by their romaji spelling (Not if they have foreign names. F*ck Raito, the Japanese are trying to say LIGHT but that's just not how their alphabet works)
[ ] You defend Pearl Harbour.
[ ] You think Pearl Harbour's a new anime that just started airing in Japan.
[ ] You think Japan is the greatest country on Earth.
[ ] You think that just because they make the best media.
[x] You listen to J-music.
[ ] Exclusively.
[ ] You know that it's pronounced "Gakuto" and not "Gackt". (I seriously didn't know that- good thing I never tried saying it out loud XD)
[/] You can name all the Vocaloids. (Most of 'em, but probably not all.)
[ ] WITHOUT looking it up.
[x] You like Hetalia. (lol wow Hetalia made it on this list? idk if that's good or bad XD)
[ ] You think Japan is the best character. (Not that I hate him though)
[/] You wear items of anime-related clothing in public. (Not as often as I use to, but if I remember I'll usually bring my FMA pocket watch with me. Even though it doesn't work)
[ ] You play only Japanese videogames/watch Japanese shows/eat Japanese food.
[ ] You use Japanese honorifics. (I don't, but people would use them towards me in high school, so it'd be impolite for me not to return some kind of honorific)
[ ] To refer to yourself. (wouldn't I have to speak in third person for that to work? Or do you mean like using a certain form of "I" and attaching an honorific? Either way...no.)
[x] Your entire room is full of anime merchandise.
[/] You changed your name to something Japanese. (Eh, at this point, Mizu practically IS my name :v I blame my wonderful middle school days and spending too much time online :heart: )
[ ] Legally.
[ ] You want to give your kid a Japanese name.
[/] You want to name your kid after an anime character. (I don't WANT kids...but at the same time....Edward, Alphonse, and even Vincent would make pretty kick@$$ names)
[ ] You've considered having surgery to look oriental.
[ ] You've had it done.
[/] You stalk the Japanese exchange students. (He was Korean. I didn't stock him but whenever I had a class with him, I couldn't look away! XD)
[ ] You've been arrested for doing so.
[ ] You use memes in daily conversation.
[x] You watch abridged series.
[/] You get most of the jokes.
[x] You use tildes while typing~ (not always...but yeah)
[x] You use Japanese emoticons (What? Western ones are creepy. Accept for the cute emotes on dA :D)
[ ] You make attempt to Japanese sounding by the Engrish typing. (you mean like Teruchan? *shot*)
[ ] You claim you're Japanese on your dA/Facebook/Myspace/whatever.
[ ] You're not.
[x] You're not even Asian. (I'm not Asian, but I never claimed to be either XD)
[ ] If you're Asian, you think doing Japanese stuff helps you get in touch with your heritage.
[x] And you're not even Japanese. (I probably shouldn't even be checking this since it ties in with the above, but it's true, I'm not Japanese :V)
[ ] People call you a weeaboo.
[ ] You prefer the term otaku.
[ ] You break out into Caramelldansen in public. (I ONLY DID IT TWICE IN HIGH SCHOOL, so no I'm not checking it >:U)
[ ] You want to date a Japanese person.
[ ] No other nationality will do.
[/] You watch Naruto. (gave up on the anime, sticking to the manga)
[ ] You wear the headbands. (I did on the way to Anime Club meetings- that way it would remind members at the last minute if they forgot)
[ ] Every day.
[ ] You're bitching at me because they're properly called "forehead protectors" (lol, well they are XD But I call them headbands too so nah you're good)
[x] You bought said headban- erm FOREHEAD PROTECTOR at Hot Topic. (shut up that's the only places that sold 'em and I still dunno how to buy stuff online OTL)
[ ] You act out scenes from the show.
[ ] FFVII is the best game ever. (It's pretty awesome though, ngl)
[ ] Sephiroth is yours.
[/] Kingdom Hearts is awesome. (Kinda, but Organization XIII still bore me. But it was really awesome back when it was something new and different)
[ ] AxelxRoxas is KAWAII DESU NE~~~!!1 (HAHA, I get it, 'cause popular yaoi pairings have weeaboo written all over them, amirite? Seriously though, that pairing isn't that sexy to me for some reason)
[x] You wish you owned a real Death Note.
[ ] Touhou rocks your life.
[/] Anime dubs are the spawn of Satan.
[ ] Vic Miginola is God. (did they even spell it right..?)
[/] It's seiyuu, not voice actor. (Depends on what language dub we're talking about. That's just how I am)
[/] You use Gratuitous Japanese all the time. (anime, manga, seiyuu, idk...)
[ ] You add "desu" to the end of every sentence.
[ ] The only thing you draw is anime.
[ ] You're taking an art course, and all you submit is anime.
[/] All your friends also like anime. (Most of them can at least tolerate it. But my close friends, yeah)
[/] You want to become a mangaka. (I'm a Gaijin, but I do kinda wanna go to a Japanese art school :V)
[/] In Japan. (Where do you think the word "manga" comes from...? I'll give ya a hint- it probably doesn't have French origins;;;; Not to mention OEL's aren't very professional-looking to me;;; )
[ ] Most of your manga/anime is hentai.
[x] You know that "hentai" doesn't mean "porn" (It does mean pervert though, right?)
[ ] You write fanfics for English class.
[ ] Yaoi fanfics.
[ ] You know nothing about Japanese culture except for anime, videogames, idols, music, porn and schoolgirls.
[/] Everyone says you have no life. (Dunno if anyone's ever said it to my face though)
[x] And it's true.

10-20: You like SOME Japanese things but, still not a weeaboo.
20-30: At this stage you probably still hate weeaboos. Good news- you're not one.
30-40: You keep your love of Japanese stuff sensible.

cool, can't wait to see what you get 8D

Also, I knowwww I feel bad XD I mean I like a lot of the music and PV's and stuff, but for some reason I can't really get too absorbed in it without trying too hard. I don't want what happened with myself and Bleach to happen between me and Touhou :noes: (Also the Casbah is er....uh...I'LL TELL YOU WHEN YOU'RE OLDER O_O *is probably younger than you or the same age but still XD* )

LOL that's alot, too lazy to get my score XD; I thought Touhou was a game, not an anime :'D

And I remember there being a site where you can "marry" an anime character XD; I prefer my DA wives :'D. Though technically I'm still "engaged" to two xD;

lol yeah, it's a game, but I guess they count Touhou as it's kinda apart of some level of Otaku Culture, like vocaloids XD

and lol yeah I remember hearing about that xD I also remember that Bishounen place where you could "catch" your favorite bishi's XD

lol nice XD They did include a lot of obscure otaku stuff (like touhou and vocaloids) but they also added sickeningly mainstream stuff like FF7, Kingdom Hearts, Axel x Roxas and like 3 Naruto ones, so either way I can understand why most people wouldn't check those XD
