Anime » Gundam Wing » You know you watch too much when...To submit a YKYWTMW, click here. Someone says "The Wizard of Oz," & the first thing in your mind is Treize. You learn Japanese just so you can watch it uncut in Japanese without subtitles. You constantly quote lines from it. You refuse to be friends with anyone that doesn't like Gundam Wing. You call yourself by the name of your favorite character so much that even your friends/co-workers/parents get to accidentally calling you it. You have conversations with your anime friends in Japanese comprised solely of quotes from the show. Your pets are named after someone from the show. Every time you go to the circus you're on the lookout for Trowa. You can recite entire episodes from memory. When you see a shooting star, you think operation meteor has begun. You'll buy anything with Gundam Wing on it. You've redone the song from The Wizard of Oz to, "We're off to kill the leader, the wonderful leader of Oz!" Your parents, who know nothing of anime, are very worried about you & wonder what's gotten into you. You spend hours on end trying to find every Gundam Wing site on the web. You drop by the beach every day to see if Heero's lying there unconscious. You refer to people without personalities as Mobile Dolls (which gets very funny looks). When someone asks your name, you reply, "I have no name, but if you must call me something, call me Trowa. Trowa Barton." You know & celebrate the birthdays of the pilots. You see the word 'Wing' and Gundam Wing pops into your head. Someone gives you a party invitation and you rip it up and tell them that you're going to kill them. You get a nose bleed then you say "My hands are stained with blood." o_0 You install a self destruct mechanism in your car. When your assigned a project or homework you say "Mission Accepted." You try to grow your hair to the length of duo, braid it then go around calling yourself the God of Death. You take up sword fighting just so you can be like Wufei. Every time you finish something you say "mission accomplished." Whenever you hear the word "hero" you think of Heero. You search the streets for your scientist counterpart to make you a Gundam, which you've already picked a name for. You have outfits of the five gundam pilots... and wear them. You and your friends fight over who gets which pilot. You glue a piece of curved cardboard to a stick and call yourself Shinigami. You start to dye you hair chestnut brown, put it in a braid, wear all black and call yourself Duo Maxwell. You've seen the series four times but still get up at 3 in the morning just to watch it again and again and again... You wonder why everyone's making such a big deal about the stuff on this page & thinks it's all perfectly normal. You watch fireworks and all you can think of is the 5 capsules disguised as shooting stars. Somebody asks you if you're lying and you say, "I may run and hide, but I never tell a lie. That's me in a nutshell." You walk around threatening people, saying "Omae o korosu!" You think that there is no problem that cannot be solved by the proper application of high explosives. You have piles of disks filled with GW fics and pictures. You start to believe anyone who is real quiet and antisocial is hiding secrets that determine the destiny of the earth. You don't talk to anyone, try to fix broken bones by snapping them back into place, and you refuse help from anyone like Heero. You start wearing a mask and call yourself Zechs Marquise. You and your friend take up the flute and violin so you can play duets... just like Quatre and Trowa! When your favorite pilot gets hurt, you curse at the TV. You build an exact replica of Heero's Gundam out of cardboard boxes. You start collecting mechanical parts to make your own Gundam. You try and do your hair like Wufei, but you decide not to after you realize that you can't move your eyes with your hair so tight. When you tell your little sis/bro to go get something for you, you tell them like, "Your mission is to go get the pencil on my desk. Commence operation now." You wear a scuba diving suit and a motorcycle helmet when you drive a car because you're going to pilot your gundam in OUTER SPACE. You MUST protect the pink limo no matter what. You think stealing someone else's car parts to fix your own is absolutely OKAY, because Heero did it too. You try to convince 40 of your friends to be the Maguanacs for you. You become furious when someone touches your car (aka your Gundam). You plan to move somewhere named "Victoria" (ex victoria bc) because Zechs might stop by. You try to convince your physics teacher that he's actually Dr. J, and your chemistry teacher's Dr. O and so on. You think anyone who throws a knife at you is your sister. Whenever you see a plane passing in the sky, you think you must shoot it down because it's OZ's plane full of mobile dolls. You start your day mumbling to yourself, like "The year is after-colony 195. Operation blackhole, which sent a new gundam pilot, [insert your name here], to earth to destroy the OZ organization..." You go around looking for scrap metal just so you can try and build a Gundam. You braid you hair like Relena's almost every day, and try and choose outfits similar to what she would wear. When you're hogging something (like the TV remote) and people ask "What are you, royalty or something?" you reply, "Yes, you can call me Queen Relena." When you hear the word "circus," you think of Trowa and Catherine. You actually succeed in making a Gundam and decide to set out for the space colonies. You place a firecracker under your shirt so you can kill yourself if someone spots you on the beach. You look in the phone book for people who have the same name as some of the characters, then call them and ask them about gundams. When the see the phrase, "Congratulations! You're a Winner!" You think you became a member of Quatre's family. You claim yourself head of the OZ organization and declare war on the earth. To submit a YKYWTMW, click here. |
