This is a list of possible Tonde Buurin addiction symptoms. If you know you are matching at least some of the following descriptions, you know you are watching too much Tonde Buurin. (Hee hee...) But there is nothing as "watching too much" when it comes to a hillarious anime series like this anyways.

A large number of these symptoms do happen on me, as a matter of fact. So I guess I too have watched too much Tonde Buurin...

Here we go...

• You want to dress up like Kokubu Karin for Halloween.
• You acquire a piglet, paint it yellow, put a bow-tie on it, and name it Ton-chan.
• You begin to think that every apple has a yellow pig-nose on it.
• You begin to think that the characteristic sound for a pig is "buhi" instead of "oink".
• You take Japanese classes just because you want to watch the original episodes of Tonde Buurin.
• You bring one piece each of ceramic tile, wooden board, plane glass and plastic board to your friend's shop, wanting him to make a pig nose out of every single one of those.
• You develop a sudden attraction to girls with bright red hair.
• You dye your hair red and wear pink ribbon, just to be as cute and cool as Karin.
• You restrict your vacation destinations to either Tokyo or Hong Kong because they are probably the only places selling Tonde Buurin merchandises.
• You say everything you do, and add "Buurin" before that.

• You set your computer up to play the opening Tonde Buurin theme song when it starts up.
• You set your computer up to play the ending Tonde Buurin theme song when it shuts down.
• While reading, instead of seeing the name Karen you see Karin.
• Every time you see a Tonde Buurin item, you simply HAVE to buy it!
• You are not into gymnastics, but you still buy the Buu-Ribbon.

• You wake up one morning and are shocked to see you don't have eyes the size of hardboiled eggs.
• When you figure out that the first half of the lyrics of "Buurin a la mode" is a list of desserts, you buy them all, put them in front of you, then dance in front of them like Buurin and Ton-chan do. (And you don't forget to pig out on them afterwards! :)
