 Posted: Mon May 28, 2007 11:29 am Post subject: EoA Article: Ultimate anime "fan" - essential guid |
 |
|
Some of you might remember a thread that was ran not long after the forum re-started, well that has inspired and helped to form this new article (part 1 of 2) "The essential guide to being labelled the ultimate anime 'fan' "
Now comes the tricky part!
Come on admit to how many you've done.  (So far) and I'm sure we all know of fans who've done some of them too.

Booo! That's skewed towards the other half of fandom than me.

1 - does BVUSA count as major?
6, 9 (shes a catbit!), 12, 17 (i do that quite often), 34, 35 (suprising how even models of kids have them), 38 (BBFC and play.com please stand up), 49,
Not as bad as i thought.

4, 5, 9, 12, 16, 19, 34, 35, 36, 38, 40, 42, 46, if you wanna count the VHS days in my first couple of months of fandom. 50, (I guess I'm guilty of that one on occation.
There's a lot more I'm half guilty of and a hell of a lot more I know other people of being guilty of.

4 - bought quite a few shows multiple times.
12 - I am currently seriously short of shelf space so I could probably fill one up within an hour.
19
34 - Currently got a Rozen Maiden wallpaper on my PC at the moment.
35 - There is so much that is wrong with this. Of course many models come with optional skirts and I have a few with optional tops as well, which is way too wrong! 
38. |

Let's see my claim to shame...
1. Buena Vista. I wouldn't touch their Ghibli titles with a barge pole, and imported from Australia a couple of months before Optimum got them.
4. Ghost In The Shell, VHS, Sound sync error, Special edition. Got three Tenchi Muyo V1s as well somehow.
5. Kiddy Grade is *not* a good name for a series. 
10
12. I could fill a shelf in minutes with anime. It's mostly floorbound right now.
16.
17 & 18. Duh 
19. 23.
28. I have to review the things.
29.
31. Do lighting farts count?
34. Mmmm Naru! 
38. 39.
43. see 28
50. More a hope than a belief. I'd love to see adults turn into children when embarrassed.
I'm a lightweight!

Since other people are breaking it down...
9: Get it right Ian, it's not a Catbit, it's a Cabbit.
12: I've now bought 5 new shelving units for anime.
16: Con-e-chi-wa?
19: Before I was an anime nut, I was a complete Final Fantasy Freak. I've toned down now, thankfully.
22a: Tsukihime Lunar Legend falls into that, and now I'm glad I did buy it.
23: "Hai", plus several others.
24: I really have answered it Moshi Moshi - to a salesperson no less.
25: several times, without thinking
34: I even have one on my PSP
35: Doesn't everyone?
36: "V!" as a greeting/sign of victory, rather than a sign of peace. Also I seem to nod my head/bow a lot more.
38: I am the release date guru, I know a lot of news before even it gets onto forums!
39: The import market is better than our market. That doesn't stop me supporting the local market however.
40: What is there not to like about Angelic Layer?
41: If you gotta have it, you've gotta have it NOW! It's an Ironclad rule for gals! (and otaku)
43: I complained about several licences Media Blasters got, due to their "sub-only" nature recently.
47: Goes without saying in our region.

11 - never done this one but come pretty darn close if you went to Amecon2004 and saw the communal shower room that was lifted straight out of a horror film, you'd understand, thankfully the rooms had sinks.

16 - oh yes, sorry "hai"

51 - Thighhighs, Very Long Hair, Catgirls (amongst others!)
52 - Repeatedly
58 - His & Her Circumstances comes to mind
62 - It's true, it's true. Use the above fetishes to make your guesses!
63 - Whenever someone claims that a dub sucks on Raptures forums! (great place to blow off steam)
64 - Kashimashi comes to mind. Girl's High too.
65 - Kaleido Star. I just couldn't stay away.
66 - I've tried the "character drawing tutorials", and decided that I suck
67 - Surely noone is gonna answer "yes" to 67A? Is 1 DVD, and 2Gb of pictures a collection?
72 - Only recently. I bought a Justice Gundam.
73 - Media Blasters, sub-only, and yes.
74 - Low rent, free laundry service, and free meals? HELL YEAH!
76 - Yup.
77 - Again, yeah. Kashimashi, for the reason stated above.
78 - I didn't realise a cheaper version of the soundtrack existed, ok?
88 - Tsubasa Chronicle is a prime example
89 - The AUK DVD Awards is sort of "anime themed"...
92 - "Ah-sue-car" really used to bug me. It's Aska! (Asuka)
94 - I continue to try to mimic Subaru from Comic Party, with no success.
95 - Eden's Bowy. Nuff said.
98 - "But the DVD says 'Manga'..." AAARGH!
99 - We all have at some point?
100 - I have converted several people
yikes. That was scary.
Not guilty of 55 myself, but I know someone who's hamster was called "Excel Excel"
I would never be guilty of 80.
