Title: What has anime burned into your everyday habits?
Post by: Cloudzero on March 21, 2006, 04:44:22 AM
Anything that anime has so ingrained into your brain that it's now part of everyday life?

On occasion, when happy, I'll be singing "Maho~ Mahohoho~" from Pani Poni Dash.

And yes, it's also convinced me to do poses every now and then as well-some cheesy and some...never mind, they're all cheesy.

Oh man... I do alot of weird and cheesy, as you say, stuff that has been forced into my head by anime. I sometimes go into my own little wonderland and just... uhhh... you know. I also do all those poses and stuff as well as you do Cloudzero. I say some pretty weird things every now and then because of anime and I try to do the fighting stuff that they do like in Negima when Negi learns to fight, I like to do those fighting style pose things. I also do those dances like Bonodori in Green Green. I am sooo wierd. But I guess its okay because no one sees me. Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vash said it in one or two episodes of Trigun and I shall say it forever more.

I did go thru an entire box set yesterday.

I can't stop calling people bakas

I smack people with weak little paper fans I make, ripping them in half usually in an hour.

I have a friend that always answers his phone with "moshi moshi"

I don't think I have an actual habit brought on by it besides drawing chibi's on EVERYTHING. I drew one today on an art quiz and my professor says to me "Nicole, you are a strange, strange girl."

So what, chibi pictures of me in a bikini talking about how I failed and I'll have to rely on my good looks is weird now?

Simple, "Ara, ara", "My, my", "MOCHIROAN!" and my personal favorite, "Shh! It's Mai Otome Time!". I can't say those sayings have ever left or die out.

Sometimes I would sing the first few words of "Sanpo" -- Arukou arukou watashi wa genki -- even in the public men's room.  :oops:

I commonly refer to myself as a bishy.

I've learned how to insult people by watching alot of Shounen anime.

I know how to apoligize like a complete moron from watching lots of shoujo anime.

I commonly refer to my life as a Ken Akamatsu Manga waiting to be made.

Ramen should be slurped loudly.

I bow slightly whenever I make eye contact with someone on the street.

^ Ramen should be slurped loudly. XD Actually, I never learned that from any manga or anime; it's an innate action.

As for myself, I say gao every now and then, not to mention do the V thingamajig. It's a totally integrated habit; I do it all the time:

QuoteRandom Friend: Hi [Snare].
Snare: ::V::

Random Friend: Your [newspaper] layout kicks ass.
Snare: ::V::

Random Friend: You suck.
Snare: ::V::

I also have the habit of pointing out every single Bemani pun that I come across in a day (A grades for my paper on Genocide, anybody?).

"Baaaaaaaaaaka."

I'll use some Japanese expressions such as "otou" or "yosho."  Sometimes I say "sankyu."  What else...?  I stagger at times.  And I say "orz."  Sorry to disappoint you peoples, but I don't actually assume the orz position.

Sitting in seiza position.
Facefaulting [though, not too much into it. It can be quite painful]
Using sentence ending-isms [-nya, -desu, -de gozaru, -de arimasu]. Usually in a random sense and entriely without relevance.
Doing that "ho ho ho~" thing those snobby, accented girls do [i.e. Naga from Slayers; Ayaka from Negima]
Doing thumbs-up pose, saying "Yes!", "OK!", or "Yay!" I do the peace sign/V thing as well, but that was a born thing from being asian. :P There's also the Point of Ambition, aka: this pic (http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/1661/pointy2zw.jpg).

One thing I don't do is say "baka". IMO, it has become the new f-word, in an overused sense.

some expressions like the stagger and anime fall. >.> Sometimes I visually imagine the sweatdrop at the proper times. Random japanese phrases like kawaii, ooshii, arigato and so forth. (I also took some japanese so I sometimes do simple sentences.) The love of miso soup and random knowledge... >.>

I'm almost tempted to try to learn from anime how to "be cute" but somehow I don't think that'll work well.

I don't know what else. >.>

I forgot to add these to my list. The anime fall is what I usually do when I hear the name "Mattie-Wattie" at school. I'm sure many of my friends do the latter, as well.

Oh yeah, let's not forget the love of ramen. O:

And the love of jpop and jrock due to hearing the OPs and EDs of non-dubbed series. I can't go long without my jpop or jrock fix. D:

Thanks to Ranma 1/2, I say "panda" like "ponda", with a deep letter o sound.

Also, drinking green tea after dinner.

And since I got my laptop, I bring it to work and watch anime during my lunch hour.  Helps make the work day less terrible ^^

My friends all tell me that I act a lot like an anime character...I don't know if that's good or bad  :lol: I also tend to say japanese phrases at times. The funny thing is, anime characters speak way differently than actual japanese people do, so that might present itself as a problem when I go to Japan.

I think people who know about the two hands are going to notice and people who don't know about the two hands are not going to notice.

Last month, I went to a co-worker going away get-together and I gave the co-worker her gift with two hands.  She watched very few anime and she smiled really big and accepted with two hands.  I think she notice.  

I also gave business cards at the get-together which has my webpage address to others with two hands.  They took the cards with one hand and just said the usual one liners "cool", "awesome", "thanks".  I don't think they notice.

1) Two knocks on the door is polite enough.

2) When cooking, make something nice.  If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right.

3) I talk about dreams.

4) Don't be inert.  Go running.  Stay away from video games.

few of my friends calls me Ha-chan because my middle name is Hayato. My gf likes to say "Hiku" most of the time while she talks.

Post by: YoureMyHiro on April 22, 2006, 04:31:19 PM
Like Tsubasa, sometimes I use general Japanese phrases to myself, "Ittidakumasu" before eating or general expressions like "Sou Da" because it rolls off your tongue so easily it kinda got stuck in my head.

And for Hayato (Onicoursemusha), our group of friends have always been interested in his family's strong traditional japanese culture and one day we heard his parents refer to him as "Hayato," his Middle name and thought it would be funny to refer to him as "Ha-Chan" instead of "Kun" as a joke and it kinda stuck.

Before and after meals, sometimes, I'd use "itadakimasu" and "gochiso-sama". Also, I'd sometimes start quoting a character for no damn reason.

Anime + Work = Hyper Active Girl

~_~ I swear, most of my friends believe I grew up in an anime world just because things that usually don't happen for real does happen to me. Even at work, I still get klutzy. Although, I'm more knowledgable at work so it works out. If only customers knew there are at least 3 anime watchers working, then it'll give corporate see how much it's popular, then I wouldn't have to do many special orders when I know it sells!! Rawr!!

In this one ep of Love Hina Again, Kentaro (not really, but I don't want to spoil) raises one hand up and says "Yo" in greeting. I actually do that.

A friend of mine and I will exclaim "NANDATTEBAYO!" sometimes, usually in unison, usually in Japanese class. Thanks, Naruto.

I also tend to use slang and curse words I picked up over time. (^0^)
