10 ways to tell someone is a Otaku

up-date.ne.jp

Also note, its the Japanese version of Otaku (Creepy and Obsessed fans), not the North American umbrella term for anyone who likes Anime/Manga.

The ranking:
#10 - They carry a bag from a dedicated Anime/Manga store.
#9 - They talk alot about Seiyuu/Voice Actors.
#8 - They talk about Anime/Manga/Video Games all the time as if it where normal for them.
#7 - You can just tell by looking at them.
#6 - They have Encyclopedic knowledge of a given Anime/Manga/Game series.
#5 - All the tunes they hum are Anime related (OP's, ED's, Insert and Image songs).
#4 - They only get into conversations if it's about Anime/Manga/Games.
#3 - They have strong opinions on topics like 'Sub vs Dub', 'Moe' and other Otaku issues.
#2 - They always have Anime/Manga/Game related items on their person.
#1 - They use Net Slang and Meme's in everyday speech.

I'm guilty of #3 and #1.
Anyone else?
 

#10 - No chance in hell
#9 - Not really
#8 - Video Games
#7 - :laugh: I look fly, wtf is this question talking about
#6 - Super Mario franchise........kinda
#5 - Unless there is some Biggie Smalls or Eminem or Tupac in an anime, no chance in hell
#4 - When I was younger, but now I'm very versatile that I can communicate to both otakus and the fine female alike :thumbs:
#3 - .......NO
#2 - No
#1 - Does "I'm Rick James, Bitch" count? Only a few specific ones, not the "ONORE DIKEIDO" types
 
Damn....

1, 2, 3, 8, 9

Though my 8 is kinda shifty, cuz if someone was like "dude...CSI!!!" or something else I like I'd chime in too.

My 2 is just my phone. =/ I've got Go-On Black, Momotaros, Kuririn (DBZ), Shinji, Kaworu (Evangelion) and Yamazaki (Gintama) attached to my phone.....and I've got some Den-O and Evangelion stickers on it too.
