The type that watches anime cause they enjoy the medium but hate being associated with its fanbase
😭🙏 real
Literally me
Yep, this is me. The closeted anime fan.
Fr,just because I like Konosuba and JoJo doesn't mean Im gay or pervert or whatever
Me: All of the above.
TALK YO STUFF TWIN 🗣️💯🔥
I like it 👌
Triplet me too😂
We all got a little bit of everything
The ultimate otaku
I think you missed one category.
"The O.G." - The fans who have been around since the 80s/90s and seen the rise of anime outside Japan, the rise (and fall) of Fansubs, and the pain that was waiting for releases on VHS/Laserdisc/DVD to be released in Japan, months after the show ends its broadcast. Or waiting for a company to make a sub/dub. And buy them at 2/4 eps per tape/disc for entire seasons.
These people were the reason that Anime is as huge as it is today outside Japan, and often have boxes of DVDs, VHS, box sets, and merch from shows before a lot of the current audience was born.
This is the sort of person who sees the new Ranma 1/2 and says "I should pull my VHS tapes out of storage to watch again".
Often a sub-set of the Otaku.
Then there is William Chow (www.youtube.com/@WilliamChow), the OG of the OGs. Owned/ran an anime rental store in the 90s-00s, and is a walking history book of where the fandom came from.
I think we get grandfathered into the Hipster category. We literally were watching anime before it was popular, and a lot of those niche shows are just old shows we saw when there weren't 200 new shows every season
It feels great to find other people who remember the fansubbing era. Connecting with others who were there before it became more easily accessible is a wonderful feeling these days, because there are so many people who are unaware of what it used to be like.
yes and we are dying ! make anime good again japan. not this mainstream stuff. but some new is ok but not as good as the old animes.
I wasn't around back then, I got into Anime back in 2012 but since like 2018 I pretty much only watch those old 90s and 80s shows and gradually discover parts of the older Anime community. I've heard something people refer to it as "Anime archeology"
I would watch more of the old animes but bleach one piece and Naruto are the only good plots in my opinion
I love the meme of Akane x Aqua Shippers fighting with Kana x Aqua shippers, meanwhile Akane x Kana shippers are just off on the side smirking. Lol.
What about Aqua and Ruby shippers
I think we are forgetting some back story there
@@Kingio695-jf3vv GET OU-
@@_Juanfraboy_No, no he’s got a point (jk)
I knew aqua gonna die at the end dont know why the second i see aqua and ruby shippers winning i was like author can't let that happen so best way to end shipping kill aqua.
I literally started shipping Akane and Kana as a middle finger to the other shippers fighting over Aqua lol
I think I qualify in a lot of these, but not enough to say I'm one over the other. Anime is too much of a wild ride across a staggering variety of topics and genres to really want to try and limit myself to one.
Yeah, I kinda forget just how fanservicey kill la kill is, mostly just because they sexualize EVERYONE to the point where it’s more than just fan-service, it’s just the theme of the show, and it’s actually quite a well written in theme too!
I'm very much a shonen anime fan. I'm not ashamed to admit that every time a character comes up with a cool move or something flashy I go "WHOOOOA" and then pester everyone around me about how awesome it was.
Am findin romance / ultra drama anime
Lungs need for exercise
I appreciate that you have something positive to say about every type and explain how they contribute to the propagation of the genre. There are so many divisions and arguments between us (especially regarding the internecine "dub vs. sub" debate) that it's easy to forget that we all fundamentally like the same thing.
yess this video was unexpectedly wholesome and it's great to hear the positive sides of every "group" within the fandom partially because there are so many negative stereotypes
True
5:47 thats me lmao and being the shipper plus this is just like look they hold hands in this one frame AAAAUGGG
The Casual Viewer 0:27
The Hardcore Otaku 1:27
The Shipper 2:37
The Shonen Lover 3:41
The Memer 4:49
The Fandom Intellectual 5:42
The Romance Enthusiasts 6:49
The WEEABOO 8:02
The Degenerate 9:16
The Wifu Fan 10:56
The Sub vs Dub Debater 12:17
The Anime Hipster 13:26
The Manga Pureist 14:47
I probably qualify as "The Hipster". Which is a funny title that i'll now use to call myself.
The type where I felt called out the most, is the memer. But not as one making it but one getting pulled into an anime by it.
NAHHHHH, The fact I know all the anime you showed in this video including the anime in the Degenerate part and the body pillows are wild.💀💀💀💀
I honestly don't mind fan service as long as it's tasteful and not using sexual harassment played off as fan service.
This dub and sub-debate needs to end!
As an anime fan, I'm a mixture of shonen lover, degen and slice-of-life enjoyer.
Also, I'm learning Japanese but only at a beginner level.
I also love finding forgotten, animes TV series OVA’s, and following modern anime as well not just the big new shows. I have a lot of different anime interests in different genres, but primarily action and adventures sci-fi Mac romance mystery harem. And many more. i’m also a big fan service fan so
I genuinely love Dr Stone I'd say I'm just dipping my feet into anime but I'm mostly hear for the memes
Dr Stone is such a god tier show
I've enjoyed the Seinen anime a little bit more than the Shonen shows. Even as a teenager, the more psychological and deeper philosophical themes expressed in many of those shows were more interesting and kept me watching long after I got bored of many shonen shows.
That's not seinen, that's just a fake seinen stereotype. Seinen can go from Needless to Tokyo Ghoul, Kaguya-sama, etc. While on the other hand we have works plenty thought provoking like Zetsubou-sensei which are shounen... Or Simoun, which is technically shoujo.
Seinen is just a demography for works published in magazine typically for older audience, but the styles and themes can be broad. I mean, do you know all those cute girls doing cute things animes like K-ON? Well, those seinen.
Also, try shoujo manga. There's VERY avant-garde stuff right there.
Watching a certain anime meme and then dive entirely in the anime itself it's so real.
Btw: I'm the intellectual, kinda romantic, and I'm in the middle of casual and otaku, closer to casual. And of course waifu fan.
I'm mostly the "Casual" type dominant with "Romantic" second, followed by "Intellectual" and "Shipper" tied in third, and finally "Manga Purist" and "Dub vs Sub" with tiny elements of the other categories. I'm sure there are more Anime Indominus Rexes out there who are better than me?
You forgot the "I've been watching anime since Gigantor, I must be too old to watch anime now, but damn, it looks and sounds so amazing how can I even stop" fans. 😅😅😅
❤
Sounds like the hipster category.
Yeah, they forgot the boomer category. Those who have been watching anime for a long time and often prefer the older anime over the new and thinks anime isn't like what it was or as good as the good old days.
I believe this is called Oldtaku. Which he missed.
On fanservice: As a femme who has carted around a large bust for a couple decades, fanservice usually doesn't bother me too much, unless the "boob-physics" get too weird. If it looks painful, well... it's about like why guys don't like watching a dude get kicked in the junk. Having lived with that equipment and knowing what that would actually feel like... nope, that's an ouch. Going down a basic flight of stairs without any support is painful when you're carrying J's. You don't want to jumping jacks without a good supportive bra.
I haven't even watched 30 seconds yet and I know I'm a shipper, but the realistic shipper, I rarely ship two characters that aren't even attract to each other (looking at you MHA shippers) or have even a chance to be together in the first place.
Edit 6:51 : I also fall into the romance enthousiast category.
Give me an example cuz I swear this is too good to be true nowadays 🙏😭
I'm the exact same, I almost never ship 2 characters that have no chance of getting together and I usually stick to romance anime
I love how you present all the anime fan types in a positive light. ❤
7:41 in that vein, kaguya-sama is absolute autistic representation (shirogone is literally me Fr Fr) please watch it if you want a bit of insight on what’s going on in our heads. Yes I would absolutely come up with elaborate schemes like that, or instead be entirely unknowing, I have actually lost one crush I had because I didn’t pick up on the fact they didn’t really care for labels. The biggest thing I learned from that, and the show is that the only way for something to get going and keep going is open and honest communication. Actually that’s the lesson I always seem to find when these romance animes come around (it’s almost like it’s important!)
2:51 DRAGON MAID MENTIONED RAGHHH 🗣️
4:16 before or during tests at school I listen to Erwin’s charge to hype myself up
I’d say I’m a slight hipster mixed with a seasonal viewer
7:56 i watched some romance anime and it got to the point where i explain my friend stuff about his girlfriend even though i dont have one
I'm definitely a Otaku When it comes to those 13 categories. I love a good anime Watch, Ether sub or dub. I say at the end of the day, we're all big enemy fans. It doesn't matter which category you're in. and it always amazes me how the world of anime is just evolving and affecting multiple people in different ways.
associating romance and shojo is limiting both the genre and the demographic. At least two of the romances you showed weren't even shojo.
Speak on it! 🗣️
Def me: Shonen Lover, the memer and a quarter of the Hippster
Well, I could say that I am a mixture of all the above, although i rather fall in to the category of intellectuals that have never actually watched the anime. I could list you everything about an anime that I didn't even watch.. (That's how i accidentally spoiled the entirety of Cowboy Bebop to my friend)
I consider myself the escapist type. I've dabbled with other traits but I'm really just watching anime in search of the next good show that let's me forget about the problems in the real world and puts that feeling in your heart when you finish it.
Well… using timestamps, I qualify more for Otaku (1:29), Shipper (2:38), Intellectual (5:43), Romantic (6:50), Waifu Fan (10:59), and sort of Hipster (13:31), though not really old-time anime, but modern hidden gem hunter.
I’m a Hardcore Tegami Bachi Fan.. so I have dived into the shipping and Otaku stuff.
Damn not even 30seconds im already called out :(
This is one of most positive videos.
I thought I was not going to be in any category but when I saw Lain Serial Experiments I knew he was talking about me
I‘m like a mix of many of these categories but there‘s probably another category or side-category which is a big part of my appreciation for anime because I love the music of many animes and I love it to watch or listen to openings, endings and osts. Many of my favorite songs are from anime. But apart from that I‘m mainly just a normal fan that is hyped over every good anime and is watching most of the time animes that are mainstream right now or that I get recommended from somewhere.
Same. Whenever I start a new anime, I try to find the OP and ED on itunes (if I like them of course). Unfortunately, there are many times where I can’t find the song and sometimes the song is an absolute banger, but for whatever reason it is impossible to find anywhere other than TH-cam.
Hmm interesting I can see your personal bias via this video as there were a few places where you refused to comment on the downside of of one of your fan types. Personally I think this whole type debate is useless as almost no one is purely any single type but a mix of several but I get what you were going for. Very entertaining video.
I’m still casual, but definitely the intellectual type.
I was bingeing Bleach:TYBW when I realized there was a whole preceding series. Only, once I started that, I got frustrated with the dialogue. I was hanging around because I like story lines and Bleach is definitely complex weaving. But the over the top transitions were getting stale while the dialogue was a slog.
As a naive whim, I decided to check out Kill La Kill. I knew it was a rough series for those not that familiar with tropes and genre mainstays, but reviews suggested there was intellectual rewards. Married and 57yo, I’m not into the fan service but KLK took it so far around the bend, they squeezed very literal art of it! Reviewers said the fan service would just be normalized along your way through the series. But what I appreciated was making that nakedness not only central to the plot, but that accepting the nakedness was actually growth and maturity. The only disturbing scenes were with the big baddie, but I felt they were trying to emphasize the monstrous nature of this character.
I shocked my brother by recommending this show, but only because it’s anime. I’m a fan of any art I can relate to that is well done. I’m just as into subtitles on a German drama.
For me, sub vs dub is all about the talent and production. I saw Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon in the theater(2x) with subs on the screen. The actors emoted while I read. When the dub came out on DVD, it was like scratching the chalkboard. I was very pleased with dub on KLK, but having heard the original in review videos, I’ll probably rewatch in subs. Viva la choice!
I’m not gonna be one of those Japanese conversions, but I do enjoy finding commonality as well as diversity. I know it’s not one to one representation of Japanese life, but it carries strong tendencies of actual life. Just like Peter Griffin is not a typical American, you get clues about what is.
I grew up when the only Anime available in Texas was Speed Racer. So everything that came after, in my childhood, just seemed like a copycat of SR. It was when I saw the live action movie that I came to understand how much fantasy is wrapped up in Anime. I loved the movie, no matter its actual value as a movie, just because it opened my eyes to storytelling aspects I’d never seen before. I didn’t start watching as a habit, but did watch Ghost in the Shell, Akira, and a few other classics.
I’m a big fan of Archer and many other adult animations in the West, but when I ran into Cowboy Bebop, I fell in love the fact that the opening theme inspired Archer so heavily. CB also has fun, twisty stories. Trigun has got to be one of my faves when it comes to heroic resolve, IN ANY GENRE! This is Captain America territory. As an aside, I can’t sit through X-Men animated. It’s almost as laborious as Clone wars!
But I also study the shell of the genre, and that’s where videos like yours are so much fun. It’s not necessary for fans to get sorted into different houses, I mean categories, but talking about it is fun enough to justify the indulgence.
I don’t know about Kill La Kill saving anime, but I do know I enjoyed the hell out of one smart show! Hunting such treasures is part of the fun. Too bad there aren’t millions of videos and posts from fans telling me what to watch next….oh…wait….
I think a good entry would have been cozy/wholesome anime enjoyers. Thous that enjoy the calming atmosphere and light hearted moments. These anime fans loves everything Studio Ghibli and will probably look through the archive of slice of life anime archives.
Who here saw the thumbnail, the heard how 95% of fans are in one catogory, and thought it was that one that started with a D and ending with a E?
I am the Romantic and Otaku at the same time
I’m the kind of anime fan that watched it as a child then rediscovered it as an adult when introducing my own child to Pokemon and stumbling across everything I missed in the past 15-20 years and absolutely loving it!
But I’m not interested in any merchandise or conventions (the creepy type of anime fans etc. make me uncomfortable) so I also tend not into interact with any other fans and just just enjoy it by myself so no one can ruin it for me.
Anyone else? 😅
Dandadan? You cant sneak that in without me noticing. I swear im not a degenerate
And then there is me. Not a casual but just watching whatever I want and not going overboard. Zero merch but not a noob
Id rather fully understand what im watching the first time rather then rewinding constantly to read the subs i missed and then again to rewatch the scene after getting the context and wanting to see what actually happened since my eyes were glued to the bottom of the screen to read
I got one: the netflix
Some of the commenters definitely pointed out big gaps in this list. I definitely count myself as a hybrid of like parts of half the categories and several not mentioned. I don’t know if there is such a category, but I’d call myself a smorgasborder where I watch at least 6 series a season and try to only continue to watch maybe one long-running shōnen a season (if that). The only thing I don’t really watch are kodomo (little kids’) shows.
You are missing the most important community.
The AMV creator and watcher community.
AMV's brought so many to anime and was the way I discovered shows for quite some time.
Often the AMV is a better experience than the anime itself.
Not to mention the extra level of creativity and art.
Idk what category I fall under, I just know I love Ranma 1/2 (Netflix Remake) for the romance mixed with slapstick comedy and action. AND THE ANIMATION IS AMAZING
12:22 this clip reminds me of how well animated the fight was, i was pretty shocked when i first saw it
I would say hipster I definitely watch both sub and dub and the debate over which is better anime or manga. They’re two sides of the same coin. Anime and manga are two separate mediums. There are pros and cons to both mediums and there are limitations on what they bring to the table and I enjoy them both.
For those who dont know the anime girl on the pillow at the start is from kurumi from date a live
i'm some sort of mix between the intellectual and the casual viewer, probably closer to the casual side.
I'm the type who binges a whole new anime nearly everyday
I considered a hardcore otaku myself as want to create my own American manga. I maybe intellectual as I was told I am "a bright guy" by one of my previous therapists.
im down bad but a vr dating sim is a whole different level
I'm a different category..... I'm the Japanophile.... Otaku but also now living in Japan, levelling up Japanese, and into everything Japanese (interested in music, history, language, culture, ppl, calligraphy and Japanese novels).
Im happy to be a proud intellectual. Learning allot about lore writing. For me there is nothing better to see an anime where realism and science gets thrown together and where the characters act like real ones would. Some goofy moments are also welcomed for me, that is one of the core points of anime after all^^
I'm not sure where I fit, perhaps the meme one? Or maybe the romance enthusiast one? I honestly just like watching slice of life and sometimes shoujo, I like listening to some of those anime-song remix thingies, maybe I'm just a casual viewer lol, or maybe not? I'm probably in the minority that doesn’t fall into any of these *(unfortunate, I was looking forward to being described by 100% accuracy)*
I fall in the "hipster" category but I'm picking when watching older anime from the 90s back. I've seen the classics of many decades and still want to view ones that I might have missed.
Weabo for life
I just watch anime, I’m not special in any way
I'm a combination of "Sub vs Dub", "The Hipster" and "Manga Purist". I grew up with anime from the 70s onwards. XD
I am not sure I fit into your list. I love good art, great characters, and awesome stories with good world-building.
I'm absolutely a casual. Though I might have gone a little intellectual trying to figure out how Beastars' 3D animation works.
Personally, I lean towards the casual, intellectual, and hipster categories (and a little bit of a purist). If I find an anime that catches my interest, I like to examine it as a whole. The plot, storytelling, worldbuilding, directive and stuff like that, even something like the change in openings and endings as the series progresses. Though I usually just do it as some extra fun stuff to think about as I watch the series, not really diving too deep. I don't care so much if an anime is mainstream or not, only if it would be enjoyable for me. I also prefer if the anime is adapting the original source material as faithfully as possible, and that extends a bit to my opinion on the dub vs sub argument where I think the original language the story was made for would be best, still I don't care too much as long as it is enjoyable.
On a side note, I really hate fan-service in general and I would go out of my way to avoid watching series with excessive amounts of them, but I can tolerate some spicy scenes since if you exclude every anime that has any amount of fan-service you really won't be left with much lol
318 anime, 14063 episodes, been watching anime for about 27 years now, since the mid-90s. I have my animeplanet profile constantly open in my browser, since it gets updated semi-daily. That said, I have no anime merch in my room nor would I consider myself a hardcore otaku, just an otaku. A lot of these match a part of me, but none of them seem to quite fit me... 10:57 DAMMIT! >.> In my defense, anime waifus are the modern equivalent of animism! I claim an unbroken spiritual lineage dating back to our earliest spiritual moments, when man first saw a woman-shaped cloud and though _'would'!_
More seriously, only four of these archetypes don't fit me at all (casual, memer, shipper, and purist), while every other one fits a part of my anime-diet, to a lesser or greater extent.
Perhaps an archetype was left out: _the oldtaku_ - a grizzled anime veteran that's been watching anime longer than most fans have been alive and has seen all kinds of anime, both mainstream and obscure several times over. Still keeps up with some seasonal shows, probably has multiple waifus, watches both sub & dub (sometimes both for the same show), understands a fair bit of Japanese, is familiar with Japanese culture, and reads not only manga but also manhwa if they strike his fancy.
i am a casuoldtaku then
I would call myself a Casual Hipster. I'm not going really deep into the anime series I like and mostly I'm watching the anime without the original source. I started to go for unknown anime this year and it makes fun to watch obscure titles and find something really good. Hanada Shounen-shi and Fancy Lala are two titles I would like to recommend in this case.
It's about the sub/dub debate segment when I realized 'oh, you have to choose several of these'.
I'm running most of these, but primarily we're talking 'no mainstream shit, ecchi mandatory, subbed, specifically fansubbed, no gruesome shit, no censorship, no killing waifus, kids or pets' so it's understandably slim-pickings these days as all the tourists rage over their fighting anime and insult ecchi, isekai, school anime and others because that's the new bandwagon.
Interesting to see that Otaku and Weaboo are not synonyms in this video, I just figured one was the Japanese name for it, whilst the other was the meme name for it.
Am happy to admit that im a male romance anime enjoyer and no one can stop me from watching wvery romance anime and listing them all in a tier list
I am a Otaku, Shonen, Mecha, Toriyama, Precure, Gundam, Both Sub And Dub, and an Anime Hipster.
I used to watch old School anime while waiting for the school bus, have a collection of favorites on Netflix, recently added Mononoke Phantom in the rain
While pure romance is either boring or too emotional or whatever that is, romcom is pretty cool. I like the comedy element kinda just mixed in with the flow, so idk if its romantic or maybe something else.
And I'm talking about anime's like Kaguya sama and Takagi san. They're animes which are pretty long(compared to most other romance animes) with close to no development but every episode is really enjoyable and fun.
Yeah, Kaguya is just a plain good time. Lots of laughs and great character development. Yes, you feel some frustration with Kaguya and Shirogane, but at the same time the situations they get themselves into and the mind games they play are so hilarious that it more than makes up for the slow development.
I haven’t watched Tagaki-san, but I do have it on the watchlist.
Honestly I’m definitely just in an anime phase rn but jojo and chainsaw man have easily become some of my favorite shows
Ohh wow, I really like anime and watch over 100 different animes per year but I'm not that aggressive about it, I have almost 0 anime related things in my room except for 1 anime book (also is that "Date A Live" I see?)
I think im a combination of the shonen and intellectual cuz i always connect the dots and i always get so hype on the fight scenes
I'm a proud Intellectual anime fan-- I'm an expert when it comes to the Ghost in the Shell franchise, and I've got some connections to the people who made the animes.
I'm prob casual. I don't really watch anime all too much. I watched pokemon, the original beyblade, yo-kai watch, I got to season 4 of mha, I watched 2 episodes of spy x family, and finished nagatoro. I did all of this in the time span of 13 years....
I'm definitely the "Anime hipster". I started out watching Anime back in 2012 but since around 2018 I started watching more and more retro Anime.
Generally I don't care when something was made but I've come to find the older stuff more often seem to align with my tastes.
I've heard from an anime director that they pretty much greenlit anything back then whilst now they do what they know will sell (hence all these isakais).
Also a lot of them took inspiration from American media of the time so there's a lot of matcho action stuff with cars and guns and stuff. It's not just a bunch of teenagers running around casting spells on each other and screaming about friendship or getting flustered (people sometimes call this MANime).
A big plus of pretty much everything getting greenlght is that you're more likely to find something that hits a lot of your niches, not just the same crap regurgutated over and over like we get now a days.
Also a big reason I watch older shows is because they often have better animation, less corner cutting like CGI or digital composting effect spam and way more original ideas due to the Japanese bubble economy of the time allowing for all those things.
Its also fun getting to discover what the culture was like back then and you sometimes get to see the birth of our modern tropes and their origins.
Like now a days people consider things like chainsaw man or demon slayer to have exceptional animation but that's mostly because of how low the bar has sunken with all these studios just pumping out slopp trying to make a quick buck.
Like 90% of all the OVAs from the late 80s early 90s had animation like those shows and handdrawn at that. Old vehicle animation especially is insane (go look at the 1995 stink bomb chase scene or the 1993 gunsmith cats car chase).
Sure we have OVAs now a days as well but they rarely improve on the animation quality, they often just look like a 13th episode of the show with maybe some slightly more aggressive fanservice.
I strongly agree with you on the Fact that, Newbies think, Their Anime was the first to be that unique, ...When literally All the Old Anime had what that and also much more original stuff
The new Manga's can't even compare to how sane and Good the old serie were.
As much i love Chainsaw-man & Dislike DanDaDan😅, i know they r good but definitely not the Greats we have had before... and Having insane plots and a mix of tons of Spices doesn't make it a best dish.
Infact big 3 are the only ones which truly hold credibility to this day as completely Original works... while improvising troops of their predecessors
where are my fellow evangelion and devilman (personal favourites) and other notably depressing anime about the nature of humanity or something similar enjoyers at
I am the type of person who watches anime based off of games I played (usually persona games, and ace attorney. I haven't played the world ends with you but I only watched the anime adaptation of it.)
I'm a hipster, degenerate, hard otaku but i don't have anime related things like posters or bodypillows, i just watch anime 24/7 everyday
Gushing Over Magical Girls... not a very good representation of the genre as a whole lol. The plot is really interesting, I personally love the concept but um the "Plot" is not mentioned until its too late and you're watching it on the family TV...
I'm not gonna debate sub vs dub but it is an interesting conversation because making a good dub is a very difficult thing to do, the reason the debate is so intense is because the older dubs just didn't put in effort, but that's becoming less and less common, the only reason why sub would always be superior would be if you actually understand Japanese and all the things that can't get translated
I think im a bit of a mix between otaku and intellectual
I have some anime merchandise but its also not the source of my entire wallet
I also love listening to video essays and reviews on anime and exploring different perspectives and deeply sharing opinions on individual characters from like a dozen different anime simultaneously
I normally don't have a problem with a fellow Anime fan except for casual Sub vs Dub conflict or Anime not faithful to the source material. If a person is not my type is mainly because they are not an Anime fan, don't watch Anime at all, either ignorant or refuses to watch Anime, or would try to judge or demonize me for being an Anime fan
Then there’s me:
- Obsessed with guess the anime videos on youtube
- Knows the majority of well known anime, but specifically only the openings
- Watches anime openings more than actual anime
- Bases whether or not to watch the anime off the opening
- Will watch pretty much any genre of anime as long as it’s not a harem (and the opening is interesting)
How is no one talking about Kurumi Overuse
Keep it up on your work and this video and channel
I love this video and channel
Thanks you for your video and channel
I love manga and anime all franchise
I think most people are going to be a mix of these categories. I collect some figures, I prefer dub, I like some shipping, and I can't get into some shonen but love some old school stuff. I also have a Rei Ayanami tattoo
Im that one that just likes one anime (bocchi the rock) and isnt that much into it.
Technically just a casual fan then
Im not a weeaboo but i do add some japanese words into my sentence cause im currently learning japanese and it helps me remember the words easier
and finaly the best tier being the fans who watch all the 90's/00's animes or earlier like neon genesis evangelion
honestly i just watched an isekai where the mc becomes an alchemist and disected the opening and symbolism in the magic to see if it was accurate, it was not
You forgot one. The OG fans those of us who fondly remenber paying up to $40 for pirated vhs of two episodes of a fan subbed anime and now compline about amine going mainstream and destroying the once very tight knit community anime once was.
Me when Girls Und Panzer is shown in the fanservice part:
I’m definitely the memer. I have a blown up TikTok account that are only memes 😭 (and I am lowkey the waifu/husbando fan too)
