When you can't find your cell phone, you call out, "buru buru.. buru buru?"

You tell your significant other with shiny eyes, "kirai ja nai."

In true Hayama-chichi fashion, you talk to Sana while she's on the TV screen.

You laugh like a fool (in public) when you remember some random amusing Kodocha scene.

You've tried finding an alarm clock like Sana's (well, I have. I need one that plays that mambo).

You randomly hear Sana rapping in your head. Or just yelling (personally, I enjoy hearing her say, "Wakan'nai yoooo!!!" in her manliest voice. Aw, Sana-chan.)

You've suddenly started liking Sushi.

You sing the "Romantic Hayama-chichi" song (yeah, that's probably just me again.. but here I've typed up the lyrics, just in case).

You both love and hate Kodocha Anime, the original fansubbers. Love them because they work on Kodocha and chances are it's probably thanks to them that you know the series at all, but also hate them because they used to take forever and have now stopped completely...

You've considered buying (or have already bought) the Japanese DVD's (and the accompanying region-free playback equipment) in order to own Kodocha in a non-degradable format (if that's the case, the shopping section will help you get your hands on some).

You've gone without sleep to stay up and watch "just one more episode" due to the urgent need to see what happens next (I used to do that when I first discovered Kodocha thanks to LunaArts Anime, back when they were still uploading new episodes. I had a dial-up modem then, so it required lots of sleep deprivation).

The sentence "My name is Samu" makes you laugh.

You find "tanuki sleep" to be an effective method for ignoring fools.

You've picked up one or two nonsensical Japanese expressions from the anime which you randomly use without quite noticing it.
