Becoming Anime?

Postby **Linksquest** » Sun May 07, 2006 1:42 pm

Do any of you find yourselves becoming like the anime characters you see in your favorite animes? Do you react simiarly when parallel situations arise?

I've found myself acting a LOT like Vash the Stampede in real life recently...which scares some people XD

Thankfully, no. For the most part, anime characters don't act like I would want to in normal situations.

Thanks God my life is nothing like any anime series.

My life is an anime/manga series...

It just hasn't been published yet.

If they did though, they'd call it "The Crazy Gaikokujin".

I'd consider it something of a bad thing if I begin to see my life as some kind of anime, because that would mean that a fake reality have imposed itself to such an extent on my mind that I discarding what is real. In short, I'll probably lose my individuality and only become something that is a shadow of something fake.

Oh dear. The things I think...

Actually... I do I find myself responding to bad jokes and weird things in anime the same way some of the characters do when i watch it...

I find myself tilting my head half closing my eyes and going "gong" as though I was just hit with a wash tub... But thats usually only when I'm watching anime...

But other things have seeped in to my life... I find my self waving my hand absentmindedly, or making goofy faces when something happens, or even making those weird bishounen poses when in deep thought...

But... I guess those are more of mannerisms...

I don't know about my personality but...my hair has been striken with the plague. I'll try any colours, any styles...it's probably a good job my hair is never long enough to go visual kei :S

I know a girl that attempts to act like a catgirl (the random noises and the random jumping on people and violence) and its seriously annoying. Anime is fiction and a person that tries to act like it is going to annoy people.

Ohho, that reminds me. Im very good at "nya"ing and purring, so I think that counts for this as well.

Not in mannerisms,no.But after watching Gundam Seed and some of Gundam Wing and Trigun I've become more of a Pacifist in the mode of
Relena,Lacus and Vash and Rem.

whenever i am surprised my eyes do get really big. lol anyways i don't react like many of my fav anime chars so i am thankful

hmm...I guess sometimes I occasionally will act like an anime character...I try not to..but sometimes I like to spread my arms wide when I walked up to someone I know (like Haru did to Yuki in Fruits Basket)

I say yo and oi a lot to... ^^; and I also say english words the way a japanese person would...but it's usually when I am really hyper..

I occasionally put my hand up when I'm trying to call someone or talk to someone, much like Tomo does when she announces something.

Postby **Silent Hunter** » Mon May 08, 2006 2:54 pm

I find myself frightenly similar to Edward Elric, though I don't beat the junk out of people when insulted. (I'm not short, I just see my attitudes and expressions mirrored a lot when I read FMA)

Thankfully no. In anime, someone my age is either an evil villain or a deviant or an incompetant parent or guardian. I'd rather not pick up those traits

The closest I've ever come to "becoming anime" was through cosplaying, and even then, I still would do a crappy job trying to play the part.

Postby **Cap'n Nick** » Tue May 09, 2006 8:11 am

I used to be prone to theatrical gesticulation and wanton self-aggrandizement, but those traits predated my anime addiction.

Postby **starwarsboy90** » Tue May 09, 2006 9:35 am

Hard to say for me. I'm definitely becoming more like Kurgone in Tasubasa Chronicles more then I would admit, but then again, I'm noticing character traits of anime characters that parallel alot of my friends, oh well,lol!

Postby **Negotiatrix** » Wed May 10, 2006 7:48 am

I find myself using one-liners from anime alot. Recently I was trying to get the kids to do something or another and I said, "All good pirates obey their mom!" and my oldest said, "That is SO true!" which is from Castle in the Sky. We both just fell down laughing.

I still waiting to use my favorite line of all: "I'm as normal as they come, and this is a contest of freaks!" which is of course Hughes in Fullmetal Alchemist. Come to think of it, as far as behavior goes, I'm probably alot like Hughes in that I will pester anyone about my wonderful, exceptionally cute children! :sweat:

i don't think i can become an anime character because i can't change how i act...i mean, say i tried to change myself to impress people, i just can't do it LOL.

but if i were to be an anime i would beeeeee, ummmmm...maybe Fuu from Samuari Champloo. or maybe someone else. idk

Actually sometimes when Im hyper or really happy about something ill go into what I call "Chibi Me" its hard to describe exactly what it is i jsut act like a Chibi version of myself. :sweat:

My friends think its funny although they do it too they just havent named it yet.

Me and my friends have also devised a series of hand signalls that represent different things like (...), or :stressed:

and never forget my favorite the :sweat:

.

Yes i know pathetic. :lol:

I find myself acting more and more like the bubbly,hyper anime girls. That's really not my personality, but I am just picking up their mannerisms. But, it's honestly good because I appear happier and it makes my friends laugh. God forbid I start acting like Osaka, space cadet.

Ha!Ha! But you're forgetting Jet on Cowboy Bebop, he's 36 I think, and he's not evil or deviant. I was going to point out that Hiko on Kenshin is 43, but he probably falls under the incompetant guardian category!:lol:

Sometimes I slip into Kenshin-talk, that I do. Argh! I did it again!

Postby **FaerieChica** » Sat May 13, 2006 6:51 pm

I'm starting to do that cutsie laugh; the one where their eyes completely shut and they make this cute little noise. I think it's a sign that I watch too much anime

I like to say, "Oro?" sometimes. Nobody knows what I'm talking about. <.<
