So like the title says, what's the craziest or wierdiest thing you've done or seen some one else doing just because they were a fan of the anime or something along those lines.

The craziest or rather weirdest thing that I've done (and still doing) is using Beanie Babies and acting the whole entire Weiss Kreuz series out with them. Although I haven't seen the series, I get the info of the shows from episode summaries I find and act everything out from there. Almost everything is constructed from household items like the crossbow for Omi, who's being played by a purple bunny!

So, what about you guys? It can be public like cosplaying or it can be private like the situation with me.

I was actually planning on holding back my coming home to the US in order to get the second half of CARDCAPTOR SAKURA in English off of animax...

it isn't the best *in fact, it's inconsistent as hell, same with most animax English dubs*

But I really enjoyed it when it was at it's best

... but hey, maybe when ANIMAX gets out here to the states, they'll carry over the SINGAPORE dubs *which everyone will hate, but whatever... buy the DVDs then f00 Confused *

I also starved myself to get manga every week back in the Philippines

If I had a head protector from Naruto I'd wear that day in day out. I don't like cosplaying/-ers, but I'd love to have one of those.

Similar to the beanie baby thing, back in the day I used to make my DBZ figures fight out scenes from the show. Anime hyper
...but I'm sure we all did that at some point in our lives...If not with DBZ, then with Ninja Turtles or He-Man and whatnot.

My cousin got one of those HEAD PROTECTOR thingies near my place...

but I'm not sure if it's legit or not... the place *in RANCH 99* mixes bootlegs with original stuff...

I could really only tell the pirated DVDs apart from the original stuff... everything else, not so sure

Five words.... Waste huge amount of Money... I can't seem to distinguish whether or not the other things I've made in regards to Anime are as crazy as wasting money in a poor country Anime smile

not much, actually.
I sing along, sometimes.

And I'll daydream and pretend to be a character in an anime/manga and how I would do things differently (actually, I do that with any fantasy book/show/movie)

Also, I spend money on it. I"m getting a job soon, and with my first few paychecks I'm going to binge and get all the anime that I"ve been wanting to get (not much, really. well, about 300 bucks worth, all at once Embarassed )

Another thing that I though of thats crazy that I do is I pretend to be different anime characters with different personalities infront of my friends (whether they notice it or not, I don't know) and I end up saying or doing something stupid which leaves me in much pain either on the ground or limping towards a safe zone (a.k.a mens washroom).
