Look in the mirror. And be honest now!
I think we have all asked ourselves this question at least once – am I gay? This is usually followed by imagining various naked specimens of our species and calculating how aroused, ie. hard/wet, we are. For more promiscuous individuals, experimentation takes place either after a drunken night or for an awesome T-shit and a necklace beads. For most of us this is just a passing concern and we move on with our lives, never telling another living soul the ordeal we just went through.
What does this have to do with being an Otaku? Not much, except as a loose and shoddily concocted analogy. That still doesn’t make a lick of sense.
Let’s look at the definition of otaku before moving on, shall we? Merriam-Webster has it as “a person who is obsessed with anime, manga, and Japanese culture in general.” The 56th definition of the word on the definitive online resource Urban Dictionary has it as “teh deliciously kickass wife of nero.” The former indicates an unhealthy fixation on drawn images of junior high school girls in various levels of undress. The latter, with perfect grammar, indicating you’re the wife of an Emperor that burnt a fuck ton of Christian babies alive. You’re deliciously kickass, though, for what that’s worth.
Either way, it’s slightly unflattering.
So, how can you tell whether or not you’re an Otaku? By taking this painstakingly crafted, scientifically proven quiz of course! Or just go outside and play a sport or hit a pub and get pissed.
Remember, read through the quiz before answering!
Question the first!
If you had to describe your character, would you:
- A) Defer the description to an anime/manga protagonist, and how you’d so “totally master the same jutsus.”
- B) You would refer to a movie /TV or book character, only occasionally referring to anime.
- C) Refer to a historical figure and how you’d “totally end the Civil War if [you] had the chance.” And you’d do it with Ichigo’s haircut.
- D) Actually describe personality traits and net income.
This is, like, sooo totally me!
Question the one after the first!
What would be the trait most desirable in your sexual partner:
- A) He/she would be a mega-kawaii mega-tsundere. And mahou. If you chose this, you already know what those mean.
- B) A lifeless, soulless, though still huggable sex doll/life size moe pillow/VCR player. That you can fuck.
- C) She can’t be assertive, because you fear strong, independent women. Someone like Bella from the Twilight series would be nice. Only pretty.
- D) You’d settle for smart and funny, and a superb knowledge of great wines.
Wash your fucking hair once in a while!
Question the thrice!
Where would you like to go on your honeymoon if you could go anywhere?
- A) Obviously a trip to Konoha, with a pit stop at the Grandline on your way home.
- B) Akihabara, with a side of maid and imouto cafes. An actual wife is optional.
- C) A trip East. Japan is an option. Maybe a manga shop, if there’s time. And a maid cafe…just to, like, say I’ve done it.
- D) Hawaii, and then backpack through Europe. Really live the world, y’know?
I didn't really want to go here. But it's an experience, y'know? Heh...heh.
Question the 4th!
What is your usual go to wardrobe?
- A) An exact replica Asuka plug suit, despite me being a 320 pound male.
- B) Just my super wicked awesome Haruhi fanny pack and soooo ironic “Shinji is Cool” T-shirt.
- C) Jeans, jacket and maybe a relatively non-descript T-shirt that may or may not have Naruto images on it.
- D) Whatever the people in The Real World are wearing.
Question the something or other!
How would you battle evil cyborg ninjas that just kidnapped your 2 month old puppy?
- A) You would create a fully functioning Gundam (or just steal the one they made in Tokyo and pimp that shit out), and tear the world asunder looking for Ayanami-chan.
- B) You would so open a can of whoop ass only hundreds of hours of Dragonball and Hunter X Hunter can teach.
- C) Try to trade that collection of animated features (like, totally not anime).
- D) Call the fucking cops. I mean, evil cyborg ninjas just took your new pure-bred toy poodle! That thing cost you eight large!
Nobody fucks with my Ayanami-wawi-foo
Question the ninth!
If you only had three days to live, what’s #1 on your bucket list?
- A) You would molest Hayao Miyazaki and profess my hidden pedophilic tendencies. Nobody is surprised.
- B) Sneak into aforementioned Gundam in Japan and do nasty, filthy things inside.
- C) Admit you may have watched an anime or forty, and cry into your life-sized moe pillow.
- D) Air balloon. Around the world! Though unfortunately you die only three days into your trip.
I...don't recommend going inside there. ESPECIALLY the left arm.
Question the eixinth!
Of these phrases, which would best describe YOU?
- A) Urusai!
- B) Kakkoi!
- C) I swear, I’m not that into this stuff.
- D) Turtlenecks are fashionable and utilitarian!
Swank and warm, all at once!
Question the I never learned to count!
Who would you rather “do” – Suzumiya Haruhi, Ayanami Rei, or Ponyo.
- A) Ponyo. In a heartbeat. Over and over and over again.
- B) Tough, but you’d definitely go with Rei. Her emotionless features underlay a warmth not many see.
- C) Well, if you had to choose, I guess Haruhi. Again, if those are the choices.
- D) They’re cartoons, fer Chrissakes! You’d much rather “do” cocaine and prostitutes.
Consider that shit TAPPED!
Well, how did you do?
- If you mainly chose A, you are not only an Otaku, you have some serious mental health issues and are probably a registered sex offender. Or one waiting to happen. Look out your window. Do you see a preschool? Yeah? Do you feel tingly? Like, down there? Yeah, you should get some help. Or castrated.
- If you mainly chose B, you are the very definition of Otaku. Or at least the one from Merriam-Webster. Well, unless you really were married to Nero and were, like, awesome. Chances of reproduction are solely dependent on how many female otakus near you who would prefer male companionship over reading male on male yayoi.
- If you mainly chose C, you’re more or less normal, but you have to let the cat out of the bag. You are a closeted-Otaku. Now, you may be able to live your life happily, but is it true happiness when you’re rushing your Miyazaki Collectors DVDs into secret compartments before you have company over? Or feel the wrath of Catholic-level guilt every time you beat off to tentacle hentai? Give in! You’ll feel better after you do.
- If you mainly chose D, congratulations! You’re not an Otaku! Instead you’re just any other of the countless millions of pretentious yuppies infesting the world, drunk on reality TV while pretending you’re more important than the very thing you’re watching and deriving pleasure out of. In short, you are a douchebag.
Well, hey, you may be saying to yourself, “bullshit, there’s no way to win this!” Wrong again. The correct choice from the beginning is to have read through the entirety of the quiz before answering, like I told you to, reach this point and realize you dodged a bullet. The only correct way to finish an Otaku quiz is to not take one at all and live your life, you god damned conformist.
Cheers!
