The 101 Rules Of Being An Otaku

[Pandaemonaeon]

The 101 Rules Of Being An Otaku

1. You must watch every single anime regardless of the plot being retarded.

2. Repeat rule #1, but instead of watching it -- set your VCR to record the damn thing, then watch it afterwards.

3. When someone makes fun of your beloved anime, respond by mocking that person in Japanese (ie. muttering "bakero" to yourself)

4. Bookmark Anipike. Anyone who skips this step is not an otaku.

5. Bash anime fans whose core sources are AXN, GMA, and ABS-CBN. Then hold yourself as a true otaku eventhough your sources are just the University Mall and Greenhills.

6. Correct every single person that refers to Rurouni Kenshin as "Samurai X".

7. When playing basketball, emulate the tactics you've learned from watching "Slam Dunk".

8. Buy garments that your favorite anime characters wear.

9. Send a death threat to GMA for their consistent dubbing mistakes.

10. During your Arnis fighting sessions in PE, give your strikes wack code names such as "The Pulsating Stick Of The High Heavens" or "The Dragon's Corkscrew Attack Of Pandemonium Proportions".

11. Post annoying topics comparing your favorite animes with a completely different anime or a show that's not anime at all.

12. Sub-titled anime is better than dubbed anime.

13. Sing anime theme songs while taking a shower.

24. Being able to stand up as the fanatic of anime in a group though it sometimes requires a lot (yes folks, lots!) of patience dealing with sorta bakas who simply hate/dislike/don't dig you're stuff and being proud of it.

25. Being able to endure likened to as an alien or wierdo.

26. Memorizing songs of your fave show and singing it like crazy in front of your friendz.. (hehe. *** lang kaya gumawa nun! you're a star! hehe)

[yukari]

33. Study Nihongo so that you can understand what your favorite anime characters are saying in their original Jap voices (kahit pa may subbed or dubbed versions na available!):)

[terry ilaes]

34. even if a given anime title is not sub titled or dubbed, you must sit for the whole six hours, watch, pretend to understand japanese. then if someone asks you if you actually understood the story, reply with the following rebutal: " i learned some japanese by constantly watching sub titled anime. yes, i can and it was really great."

(yeah RIGHT!)

35. must make thyself noticed with really annoying and weird laughter. you must annoy everyone in the theatre or anime club theatre. :angry:

booing really loud and cussing at the villain during the show is required.

36. incorporate your fave anime/rpg characters personality into your own. must add trademark move and quote for a nice touch. :rolleyes:

37. if you're caucasian or non-asian for that matter, gawk at every single asian girl your asian friends bring. drooling is not required but it actualyl adds to the loser ambiance you create in the room. also add inappropriate touching and gropping for a nice little otaku touch. :disgust:

38. if you're caucasian or non-asian, eat like your fave anime character and pretend that you're actually asian to complete the whole illusion of having a life. eat rice in a bowl with chopsticks.

if you actually don't have those cute little rice bowls. you HAVE TO replace it with a big plate. you must pick up and eat every single rice grain with your trusty chopstick. always leave a grain of rice on your shirt to show sign of respect to your fellow otakus. :rolleyes:

Oh my god, that is SO true! I remember when I was vacationing in Las Vegas, and while I was inside this clothing shop -- I saw a Japanese guy (probably in his 20s) trying to impress American teenagers who were near him by emulating popular badass anime characters.

The first thing that sprung into mind was Vegeta because he had his arms crossed and he's looking at everyone with a pompous attitude. I'm sure you've encountered people like this before. What's even more funny is the fact that this takes place in real life therefore, that routine never works!

51) actually fights over an anime character and screeches "he's mine!! HE'S MINE!!" like an obsessive-compulsive person.

52) actually tells boyfriend/girlfriend to dress like a favorite anime character... even tell him/her to lose weight just so to look like an anime character! *and considering most anime chars are underweight...*

[Pandaemonaeon]

53. Bash telenovelas and other television shows the otaku finds inferior, disregarding the fact that each show appeals to different kinds of people.

54. Visit numerous fansites dedicated to a specific anime (usually Rurouni Kenshin) just to memorize episode summaries and hard to find information that he/she may brag to other people.

55. Use manga characters as your online gaming name (ie. Enishi) -- just so when an actual OAV/series is created featuring the said character, you may brag about being the first one to acknowledge that character.

56. Utter annoying anime sounds such as fireballs colliding and explosions and when someone looks at you, mock them in Japanese.

57. (girls) when you accidentally bump into a handsome guy you blush, say "gomen" in a high-pitched girly voice, then scoot off trailing dust clouds

58. someone teases you and your instant reaction is to scratch the back of your head and say "iie..."

[anj_victoria]

in other words being an OTAKU is being a freak which is in a diffrent language!! the first time i've learned that in japan otaku means being a freak/geek i stoped calling myself an otaku and decided to be refered to as an anime fan! *okay*

[Yagami_28]

59. Genetically engineer yourself to sweat only one big drop by the side of your head whenever something weird happens.

[Pandaemonaeon]

60. Repeat rule #53 while at the same time annoying members by posting dozens and dozens of redundant threads dedicated to bashing telenovelas.

61. From now on, anyone whose anime sources are local channels and AXN would be known as squatters, jologs or poser anime fans. Toothless anime vendors at Greenhills that wears white sandos and Sand Beach slippers are exempted from this label because you buy your animes from them.

62. When engaging in online debates regarding anime -- never give up. If your prepaid card runs out from replying too many times, beg for mercy at the "Technology Today" forum for some random ISP representative to give you free internet access for a limited time.

63. Repeat #62 but when replying, try to make your arguments powerful and in-your-face by posting pictures taken from another forum which has a similar debate.
