I think that depends. An elitist might pursue obscure anime for the status of greater knowledge or the bragging rights to an esoteric experience. The hipster watches obscure things to be different. |

Ckan said: He mentioned that elitist would watch obscure anime but that is not completely true. I agree with that there can be different types of elitists and some include your examples. However watching only obscure anime applies to hipsters not to elitist (by definition, not by their motifs), some people may be both. The shows usually associated with elitist are usually not obscure at all.zal said: Being elitist has nothing or little to do with the popularity of the shows they watch.

| A casual is someone who only watches a few anime (eg. Naruto, One Piece, Bleach, Pokemon) or watches anime infrequently (less than 10 episode a week). An elitist is someone who believes there are some people whose opinions are objectively superior to the general public and they tend to believe that they are one of those people. They are known for circlejerking with other elitists to determine the anime that are "objectively the best". Neither of these requires a certain level of anime knowledge nor any number of completed anime. They are descriptions of the viewer's psychology towards anime. |

Replace 'big foot' with 'elitist' and you get a pretty accurate documentary on elitist hunters.. |

Badass said: Anime elitists are people who feel superior only because they watched certain anime and feel their tastes are the best. Anime casuals are basically anime watcher in general, they like to watch anime and usually new to anime. What this guy said, it's pretty much nothing else to it. |

| The "casual" definition is very twisted here. Casual isn't compatible with going on the Internet to actively search and watch japanese animation, and certainly not with visiting specialized forums and participate there. A casual is what everyone here was when he simply watched his television networks picks of japanese products among other animations from elsewhere. If you watched Sword Art or Shingeki no Kyôjin before everyone else, you are far more motivated/dedicated than a real casual consumer would be. Once you start focusing on it, how could you still be a casual? Would you say someone who joggs every morning is a casual jogger? (after all, those exaggerations might be "natural", the Internet is nowhere near to be the real life) PS: about Eva, Lain, Cowboy Bebop, original Macross etc... in France, a lot of people who don't even have an interest in jap.animation have watched them. Simply because they were on TV at affordable hours. Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu had some VHS in supermarket and kiosks! Texnholyze was on regular TV channels in Deutschland! Based on Italia and french kids shows in the 80s/90s and the "references" I read here, I dare say EVERY person who was a kid from those countries in those days are elitists... (of course they are not) Some arabic countries had the old Yamato over and over again on their TV. orosan said: yeah cuz everyone wants to hear a self absorbed jerk talk shit about all animes except his favourite. This isn't exclusive to what you call here "elitists" but is rather a characteristic of every bad person writing in those forums. |

Kaneki-Uta said: I know what they are, but I really don't see why they exist... I mean they group 2 types of anime watchers, the assholes and no-shows. What about everyone else? Most people on these forums don't fit the stereotype of "elitist" or "casual". Some elitists on these forums have argued that anybody who watches a lot of anime inevitably becomes an elitist. That is a lie, you can stay polite and enjoy ordinary anime even after watching 700+ anime like me. kamisama751 said: I know a person who is like this: "In my opinion SAO got good writing. Therefore, it is above average and everyone who scores it lower han that is a hater." Now what is he a type of person? :D I'm pretty sure you're talking about me. I self-identify as anime veteran. I have seen over 700 anime titles, and I believe in myself. Haters are people who single out SAO, saying that it is somehow unusually bad. Elitists are people who say the whole genre/concept of SAO is bad (as opposed to just not suitable to the speaker's personal taste). |
| I assume some people haven't seen this club? http://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=35120 I believe the 'anime relation', which include Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works,OreGairu,Steins Gate are considered bad anime according to elitist. http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=549073 Some people who just seen the club might get themselves confuse what does elitist mean. I've been here since 2008, so please let me share my experience with the evolution of 'elitist' in anime community. I could be wrong since even though I join since 2008, I don't post a lot as you can seem from the number of my posts. Even people who join years later than me have more posts count than mine. Elitist is originally about what type of anime you like. Some anime, which are considered deep, intelligent are anime for elitists. Because of this, people who like this type of anime always think they are better than others who like battle shounen, ecchi and harem type of show. As a result, this type of elitist look down on all other fans and having so called deep,intelligent anime in their favourite give them a sense of bragging right and think that anyone who disagree with them is wrong and keep bashing others. Soon, even people who do not have deep, intelligent anime in their favourite also act like those elitist where they look down on others who have different favourite anime than them. Whether this attitude is inherited/influenced from original elitist is still unknown.As a result, even though he or she does not have those so called deep,intelligent anime as favorite, he is considered an elitist because he act like one where he look down on others. Do keep in mind not everyone who like deep, intelligent anime act like asshole or act superior than others.There are still people with deep,intelligent in their favourite but they never bash others. I've also seen some people said the ability to express and explain why you like certain anime or what you think make a good or bad anime also decide whether you are elitist or not. This is what I know about 'elitist' from my experience here in MAL since 2008. |

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
| @Zapredon Good post, I agree I think I prefer to hang with Casuals, they are more flexible, so if you have a different view of their favorites you can discuss with them and there is a high possibility that they adapt some new ideas, they can like different things and have a wider taste ( in the long run). Everyone of us anime fans have been a casual someday right? Elitists on the other hand are stubborn, they think they know it all, masters of anime industry, experts that know better than other fans, discussion with them is pointless most of the time and you will end up wasting your time, most excuses are lame af. They only like their own, they disrespect other people who have different ratings and favorites, they have same favorites and same ratings most of the time, and unfortunately their taste is narrow, unable to explore beyond.. |

| Elitism is an attitude thing. If you look down on others and think you're superior, you're an elitist. A casual is just someone who doesn't watch much anime on a daily/ weekly basis. That's all it means. They're not opposites. They're not mutually exclusive. A casual can be an elitist, and an elitist can be a casual. All the other correlations are completely irrelevant. Someone who's watched 1,000 series can still be a casual. They don't have to be new to anime. They don't have to watch only new / mainstream anime. The meanings of both elitist and casual have absolutely nothing to do with the type of anime they like. Absolutely nothing. That's all there is to it. Gesu- said: Please note that this is a spectrum and these two kinds of people fall to the extremes of this spectrum. Completely wrong. Nihilfist said: Never knew that some people don't understand the concepts of elitists and casuals. It seems pretty self-explanatory. Ironic, because your explanations for both are wrong. |

 It's an entirely different kind of flying, altogether! It's an entirely different kind of flying. |
| Casual: X is pretty cool Elitist: Y is good because |
 |
| Elitist are the people who don't agree with you and likes something different from you. Casuals are the ones who are always right and sides with you. |
 |
Correction: Elitist: your Y sucks because that's why we don't like them. |
Well I haven't met all elitists, but can't we just agree that elitist jerks do that? Also that still comes from Y is good because Z. X doesn't have Z so Y>X |

Konguras said: Anime elitist fap to anime while casuals don't. I think you're confused; you've got it backwards. |
 This glorious signature image was created by @Mayumi! I am the Arbiter of Absolute Truth, and here is my wisdom: "Anime was always influenced by the West. This is not news. Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people. Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation. There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime. You should be watching Carole & Tuesday." |
Zelkiiro said: Konguras said: Anime elitist fap to anime while casuals don't. I think you're confused; you've got it backwards. Both groups don't. It's their loss. |
| Anime casuals and elitists are both similar if you think about it. They're both stubborn people who refuse to believe that there are good anime aside from the ones they like. The difference is that anime casuals won't watch the retro anime elitists love because the art looks ugly. On the bright side they usually won't bother the elitists. The elitists usually have a better taste in anime because they're watching both anime of the past and anime of the present. On the negative side they're constantly going out of their way to tell casuals that their taste is shit. At the end of the day both groups are filled with dumbasses. |
Zelkiiro said: Konguras said: Anime elitist fap to anime while casuals don't. I think you're confused; you've got it backwards. Works both ways friend. You can apply this to 90% of MAL threads. |

| I don't know about anime series but I'm a loli-elitist. I shit on people with shit loli taste because mine is superior. I'm guessing an anime elitist is just a person like me. Only with equally as good taste in anime as I have in lolis. Casual =/= fanboy right? Or am I wrong somewhere? A casual is basically a person who isn't as invested in the medium isn't he/she? Nothing to do with their tastebuds. |
