To weeb or not to weeb?

Oh yeah, I forgot this.

1. Excessive use of Japanese words in place of English
2. Favoritism of Japanese imports over domestic equivalents
3. Hanging out in the international aisle of the supermarket
4. Crowding the manga section of your local book store
5. Seeking Japanese partners only in Personals on Craigslist
6. Ability to memorize and recite Anime songs

Stealing Zappy's list as well (because it covers basically everything).

  • Excessive use of Japanese words in replacement of English - Nah. I'll use it jokingly most of the time.
  • Favoritism of Japanese imports over domestic equivalents - Nope. I import video games, but those are typically reserved for games that won't ever make it out of the shores of Japan or won't see an immediate release over the next ten years.
  • Hanging out in the international aisle of the supermarket - Of course. But, it's more on the lines of me getting Vietnamese ingredients than anything else.
  • Crowding the manga section of your local book store - Big time.
  • Seeking Japanese partners only in Personals on Craigslist - lol? I don't frequent Craigslist, so no?
  • Ability to memorize and recite Anime opening theme songs - Aside from JIBUUUUN WOOOO. I got nothing. Now remembering the melody and progression of the song is something I can do it.
  • Cosplays - Nope.
  • Goes to conventions on an annual basis - Sure? I mean there is a convention that goes on twice year. But, I'm pretty sure that I've only went
  • Watch seasonal anime weekly - Yes.
  • I would like to visit Japan at some point - Yup. I'm interested in doing a tour of the whole country though.
Half-way there, I guess?

Some other things that might indicate that I'm a total weeb:

- I can read and speak Japanese. Yay? This was more to play imported vidya gaems though.
- I like Touhou.
- I like Kantai.
- Reads manga.
- Reads a ridiculous amount of LNs.
- Pixiv is cool.
- Art style is heavily influenced with the typical Japanese aesthetic.
- I have more Nendoroids than I would probably need. (it's under fifteen though!)
- Have like three Nendoroids pre-ordered.
- A couple of figures.
- Eagerly awaiting two figures to open up their pre-orders.
- Three full shelf rows of artbooks - ranging from video games, material collections, scenario books, Tony Taka, etc.
- A hard drive with 739 GB full of anime. I'm starting to trim down on this though.

I collect a copious amounts of merchandise. It's far from filling a room, but it visibly marks its territory, haha. (1/3 or maybe 1/2 of my merch is probably all Trails lol)

Also, Sync just destroyed this thread lmao.
 
When everyone says they're stealing my list, but I'm the one who stole half of it from Virtual Chatot xD

Know Your Meme has a rather succinct list, I'd say.

[*] Excessive use of Japanese words in replacement of English
[*] Favoritism of Japanese imports over domestic equivalents
[*] Hanging out in the international aisle of the supermarket
[*] Crowding the manga section of your local book store
[*] Seeking Japanese partners only in Personals on Craigslist
[*] Ability to memorize and recite Anime opening theme songs
 
Here's what I got.

I am a casual watcher of anime.
I looked up English definitions to Japanese words before.
I watch anime and listen to anime soundtracks once in a blue moon.

Non weeb hobbies would be preferring live action tv to animated more often than not and the majority of my game library consists of some rather gritty stuff such as The Last of Us, Dead Space, and CoD to name a couple of examples. Oh, and I do work out from time to time as well so yeah, I'm totally not a loser in denial lol.
