| As title said, what is your definition of anime fan? Use your own words. =) |
  |
| Someone who is a fan of anime? |

| I am an internet persona! |

nucblus said: Varus said: A person (who) watches Anime No. A person can watch anime without being a fan. Okay, okay picky person. A person who enjoys watching anime and seeks to watch more after finishing. Varus said: Why would they watch anime without being a fan? Maybe they were tied up and forced to watch it. |

Sums it up really. A video is worth a thousand words. |
| The anime fan is a maniac product of the modern era's bourgeois decadence and internet engagement. Known for perversion, awkward social interaction, obsessive behaviours, and other unpleasant habits, it is no wonder that the anime fan is often seen as a denomination of derision. It is perhaps interesting to note that the anime fandom is also a somewhat contradictory group - home to a dichotomy of conservative, regressive, small-minded and sectarian views, yet at the same time, the wider demographic group of the non-ethnic japanese can also be seen to be embracing a foreign culture - an act of benevolence? Surely not. Simply, it is a desperate clinging onto a delusion of purpose. In fact, it is this fetishisation of an exotic and rarefied medium that defines the anime fan. Through the extraordinary pursuit of a foreign sub-culture and entertainment product, the anime fan adopts a lifestyle of peculiar and unnatural mannerisms. The preferences that grow amongst those affected can often be subtle, but in their pronounced interest in 'anime' the fan becomes increasingly detached from the realities of the world. It is almost a certain fate that if an anime fan does not find a way to disengage from this alien paradigm, then they will fall into a state of psychological, emotional, and functional disrepair. In time, the anime fan will no longer be an upstanding citizen and human being, but will in fact degrade to a parasitic troglodyte of the digital age. The anime fan, in the end, is but a pitiful creature. |

| People who enjoy watching an anime. |

| Well this guy likes anime a lot but it doesn't mean he get it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xA0ZHEwU2Q A true anime fan is one who understands what differs anime from the other mediums of entertainment and art. And find these unique qualities enjoyable. Anime Zone made an awesome video on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryzAJqGDz40 He talks about anime becoming mainstream but Anime Fan is a big topic too |

| We should not over interprete the term "anime fan" The term fan does only means that we enjoy it and stay that as one of our hobbies. Therefore anime fans do enjoy anime. Nothing more, nothing less. Ckan said: The anime fan is a maniac product of the modern era's bourgeois decadence and internet engagement.

| A person who enjoys watching anime and look forward to watching more animes. |
| Someone who deliberately seeks out anime to watch. If you just watch whatever your friend happens tow atch near you, or the Miyazaki movie at the cinema, you are not quite a fan. |
| Person who is fan of anime and enjoys watching it... simple as that. |

| Someone that likes Anime. This does not mean a single series, but multiple series. |

Ckan said: Ckan with his obligatory essay on the subject matter. Veracious as always I see. |

| A real, true anime fan first and foremost doesn't rob the industry he/she is openly pretending to enjoy and support. Piracy is an absolute no-go. A true anime fan doesn't have to care about his/her MAL being up to date or "as big as others", it doesn't matter if you watched all the latest shows because more than often that's either not feasible or possible through legal means. You can guess yourselves how many people in this community are actually fans and actually stand up and help the community and the industry alike to grow. |
| Internet-piracy is the cancer of Anime, leechers need to get caught and die out! |
| Typical female anime fan: |

Varus said: Because they are forced to watch it by their psycho sister who is a fan of shoujo, romance and gore anime :Dnucblus said: No. A person can watch anime without being a fan. why would that person watch an anime if they are not a fan? |
 |
| i always saw it as simply as someone who actually searches for anime not a casual who just watches whats on tv or just whats trending,i don't have any anime fan friends but most are at least casual..... i thought one of my cousins was going to be one but hes just obsessed with naruto lol (not saying he shouldn't watch it but he obsesses on it and not really any other anime) |

| Someone or something that genuinely enjoys watching anime. |
| Someone who faps to 2d and has an obnoxious waifu |
 |
| I guess someone who enjoys japanese animation? |
| Someone who seeks out anime and watches it. It doesn't apply to those family members/friends that you recommend a few titles to and they like them, but won't go searching themselves. |
 |
| I like watching anime, but I wouldn't call myself an anime fan. Same goes for the NBA. I like watching it and tracking stats, but I couldn't call myself a fan, because I don't give a rat's ass most of the year until playoffs, anyway. |
