| Deconstruction ≠ Darker & Edgier Trope ≠ Cliché (Face it, nothing is completely original. Can't make something from nothing so to say.). Fanservice ≠ Ecchi (Though ecchi can please the fans!) Popular ≠ Sucks... maybe Seinen = K-ON! Shounen, Shoujo, Seinen and Josei are demographics. Anime/Manga = Japanese Cartoons! Deal with it. Support Movember. Raise awareness of men's health issues. Put a mustache on your avatars or something... |

| anime piracy is caused by ignorant distribution systems and laughable prices. dont feel sorry for them at all, and they arent losing any money anyway. |
| Any person who isn't tolerant of other people's opinions can get annoying, regardless of it being a casual or elitist. |

| I think most people confuse 'elitist' with 'critic'. The latter simply have higher expectations, whereas the former take it upon themselves to insult others because they don't have LoGH and GiTS in their favourites or something. Personally, I think it's hilarious when people become arrogant over bloody cartoons. If you want to complain about plebeians then stop engaging in a plebeian hobby and go read books instead. |

| The fandom website Dorkly did something similar like this but it's not two. It's 8 types of anime fans and they're not all like-able either!!! http://www.dorkly.com/post/65535/the-8-types-of-anime-fans-youll-meet |

Nicoreos said: In all seriousness, the only good anime fans are the ones who are able to hold positive discourse with fellow fans. Yes there can be criticism towards shows, because no anime is indeed perfect, but it should never have one ego dominating the conversation, otherwise it will further arouse suspicions of both casuals and elitists alike. How's this? Sure. If you can have an intelligent discussion about anime without attacking others, regardless of whether you're praising or critiquing the show, then you're having a positive influence on the medium. Both the arrogant kiddies and the obnoxious fans who close their ears and scream whenever somebody brings up criticism need to go away. |

| -insert type (I believe) I don't belong to- |
| Elitists by far... |

| Elitist. There's nothing quite as hilarious as someone trying to explain why your opinion of something is invalid because it's different from their opinion. "Whaaaaaat? You didn't like KLK? Well, if you had really understood the depth of it, you would've enjoyed it." - words that were seriously said to me months ago |
 |
| casuals might still become normal after a little more exposure elitists are already a lost cause |
  |
| You sound like an elitist yourself labelling someone a "casual" just because they recently got into anime. |
| I don't even think they are bad at all. I like them both, so no answer for me. |
 |
| I have to go with elitists. Sure casuals are annoying most of the time but at least they don't go on about how ____ is so awful and ruined anime. |
| added the fourth most popular anime onto this site |
| Elitists always feel the need to express their opinions on the newest anime season or w/e, and they never shut up about how good their taste is. While casuals can get annoying, they are nowhere near as annoying as elitists. |

While casuals can get annoying, they are nowhere near as annoying as elitists. Ugh, pretty much this. They think people actually care about them and their opinions. I wish I only encountered anime elitists, but I encounter the ones who think they're taste in music and video games is superior to mine as well. |

This depends on if you think Fate Stay Night should be in the top 10. If yes: Good job If no: My taste is superior. |

IDK Summer had like 3 great shows, 5 or so decent shows, and some meh shows. This season is like night and day. ~6 amazing shows and the rest i wouldnt force my autistic dog to watch. |

I just play pleb games Civ 3 or gtfo bro. What are you some dayz casual? |
| Is this even a question? Elitists by far. |
| MAL: A community that thinks every anime is bad, but rates everything a 7/10. |
| People that are stuck in a specific age are worse than either of these by a mile. Old "fans", new "fans", it doesn't matter. For them, it's not the product that is good, but rather the age. If someone were to produce a pile of bullshit and said it's from their preferred age, they'd gobble it up as if nothing was better. Elitists and casuals have absolutely nothing on them. |
 |
well I like the elitist more because at least he doesnt talk much none sense my favorite type of elitist are those kids who throw "objectively" and "bad writing" every time they want to describe something they don't like without actually giving valid reasons :^) |
| I find those elitists who bashes harem and ecchi anime the most annoying. What's funny is that their elitism couldn't save their too edgy for you favorite anime since the fewer they are the less likely the series they like could sell a DVD/Blu-ray. |

| Is that even worth comparing,elitists of course I do'nt have anything against "Casuals",and i do'nt even mind newer anime fans and there supposed "ignorance",i just take it as someone with a different opinion. Elitist on the other can spout some of the dumbest thing cuz they're blinded by some dumb ego (why you'd get all high and mighty over cartoons,who knows).......Not to mention.there are some of them who despite supposedly watching all those animes are still trapped in noob mentality ("oh god all new anime are shit"........"all modern anime are moeshit and ecchi" and stuff like that) Just look at this Site for reference,some of the most annoying users are either One Trick Pony Elitists......or Wankers who end up sounding like broken records after some time |

| What the fuck is wrong with being a casual fan? and 'casuals'? Anyone who calls anyone a 'casual' must be the same type of loser that idiotic anime No Game No Life glorifies; you know, an actual low-life. |
| Elitists think their opinions are fact. Easily them. There is nothing more annoying (on MAL) than people who claim that literary or artistic analysis (and by extension, anime analysis) could ever be objective. The very notion renders objectivity meaningless. Casuals are usually pretty chill anyway. The loud zealots who are fans of like one long-running anime are usually easy to ignore. |
| I dont actually care either way. When someone ask me for recommendation or opinion on something I'll gladly help them. I consider myself to be a normal and helpful anime fan that enjoy helping both, new and seasoned fans. And I respect opinions of others if they does not try to forced them on me. I'm not sure how you exactly classify casual or elitist. I just differentiate between nice, reasonable anime fans and annoying anime fans and I dont care if those annoying are casuals or elitists because they are annoying and I have no reason to try to differentiate between them anymore. I will just ignore them. |
