This is like a second-part fun fun thing to How to tell if you're addicted to anime. Look through the thread, and put down which ones apply to you.

Here's mine:

you say quetes off of shows

Your walls are covered in wallscrolls and posters from your favorite series.

You always have your hair covering your left eye and always fliping it so you look like a anime character.

You believe it is possible for a person to be severly beaten in the head with a large hammer, stick, etc...and still come out alive.

You misplace your manga and someone at school you don't even know gives it to you saying they knew it was yours.

You try to read every (comic) book from right to left

You take a break from watching anime to go to your computer (nicknamed Lord Conti) to download anime (for previewing purposes only! Wink ), while visiting your favorite anime forum, while listening to Japanese webradio..

Your bookshelf is filled with anime boxed sets and no books

You take the time to write messages on your cigarettes, only to burn them right away.

You start to speak with an odd accent.

You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends who are addicted to anime.

When you make AMVs

When you join www.animemusicvideos.org

--You're addicted to Pocky.

--You're annoyed by the manga that is published the "normal" way: left-to-right.

--You've read more manga then actual books, and more anime than TV shows.

-when you feel comfortable cosplaying as a member of the opposite sex

-when you hug a cosplayer KNOWING (s)he's dressed as a member of the opposite sex

-when you recognize yaoi as a verb

When you learn japanese FROM WATCHING anime

-When you subscribe to Newtype.
you poke people with your finger tips and wait for them to explode.

-You deleted all the porn on your computer to make room for AMVs and anime footage.

-You spent all your graduation money buying anime.

You go without food for several days so you can afford the next DVD in your imcomplete box set.

You scream and faint every time you see a partially filled box set

Your girlfriend gets jealous of your yaoi collection

You spend 10 minutes trying to figure out which of the 3 anime dvd's to get with your $20 left in your bank account, and then go and buy all of them, going into debt.

You trip and fall every time you see a girl you like and somehow end up on top of her groping her breasts

--When (if you're a guy) you have a girlfriend and a yaoi collection and vice versa.

--When you actually have a yaoi cellection.

--When you try to write off anime as "tax deductable".

--When you make a tape of your yaoi collection as a gift for your girlfriend.

That's like asking if I'm addicted to reading or TV or [insert medium here]. And the answer is no. Most anime is crap. I rarely watch anime unless it has gone through rigorous recommendation process.

Mostly I'm just addicted to specific series. KOR being the most obvious, but I also like BGC original (my first anime), Utena, and Airbats. I own those on DVD. I used to have Maison Ikkoku on VHS. It is time to buy the DVDs, as my next video is MI, and I all I have is my VHS rips which are not the best quality. I haven't seen a series in years that I'm obssessed with. Some I keep, some I can take or leave, most I don't even bother downloading, let alone spending money on.

you say quetes off of shows

You can sing songs from your favorite shows, in Japanese, even though you dont speek Japanese...

To resolve a conflict, you insist in a duel. (well, I do that when I'm joking around)

You use random Japanese words such as baka, kawaii, and hentai.

You start to speak with an odd accent. (Sometimes, that happens)

When you can't go one day without mentioning something anime related to family, friends, or people at work

--You're addicted to Pocky.

--You're saving up to go to Tokyo, Japan. (my friend is, does that count?)

--You think reality is so boring and perfer to not live in it.
--You develop crushes on anime characters. (Heh, heh, I have a crush on Jan Valentine, pathetic, huh?)

Well, those are all the ones that suit me.

BGC original is awesome. That was one of my first favorite non-giant-robot series. Gundam and Macross (and the Robotech incarnation) are perennial favorites of mine but the most recent series that has come out which has consumed me is Neon Genesis Evangelion. I didn't think I could ever be passionate about any anime series/OAV/movie like NGE.

When you make AMVs

When you join www.animemusicvideos.org

When you start studying Japanese History, Mythology, and Philosophy because of anime. (I was actually thinking about it)

When you are learning japanese, BECAUSE of anime
