People always say "Such and such anime has a very toxic fanbase" or "So and so anime has such an annoy fanbase." I want to change it up and point out some good fanbases. So tell me what anime you think has the best fanbase. My only rule for this thread is that the anime has to be popular or at least very well known.

To answer the question myself. I think that Fairy Tail has the best fandom. They know that Fairy Tail is hated by a lot of the Anime Community but I haven't seen them go out and threaten or harass people who don't like the series. Honestly if anything I think Fairy Tail hatedom is more toxic than its fandom. Because they'll call you all types of things for liking Fairy Tail

Hmm this is a hard one but For me FMA, HxH and Fate/Zero are the most chillest fanbases. I've meet some offline and online and while there are some toxic people sure but they're generally pretty cool (in my opinion.)

Ever since MHA came out it’s been pretty popular, it’s fan base has only been rocketing upwards since then.

Probably the Gintama fanbase. Most of them are pretty chill and don't really care whether you like Gintama or not.

I've never seen Gintama, but i can tell 100% that this is the best fanbase. They are all in the shadows, and when the opportunity comes they kindly offer you to watch their anime, they will never go to disparage other anime.

I'd like to say the FMA fandom. but a lot of stuff pops up when people disagree over 2003 vs. Brotherhood. If you were to ignore that though, the fandom is actually pretty nice.

I'm gonna agree with what quite a few people have said, which is Gintama. I don't recall any toxic behaviour, trying to force the anime onto people or discrediting other shows from their fan base. Which is extremely rare. Most fan bases tend to attack other shows/people or end up attacking their own fan base and dividing the fan base.

I'd say Gintama has the best fanbase. I see a lot of them encouraging people to watch the series, and the series is self-deprecating enough that there isn't any need for us to attack it or its creators.

D.Gray-man, I guess, in fact I don't even know if the series is that popular by now, but at least I don't know obnoxious fans of the series and I like that.

I also like Bleach fanbase, like, they know the series is not a masterpiece at all but they don't give a fuck and are good buds.

No , the one's who shit on the anime onlies for liking Zero cause they haven't played the VN and in their terms are "secondaries"
Fate fandom fucking sucks. Both Stay/Night and Zero.
Only Grand Order fandom is chill as fuck. They want waifus and they get waifus and are overall happy.

yup thats the one. They pretty worked up, if you ask me. The reviews speaks of themselves and visit the author page here on MAL. Pretty retarded fanbase honestly, but not majority of course.

+1 for Gintama but let's be honest it's not that popular.
If I had to go with popular one then Noragami, atleast it has no obnoxious fanbois.

Yeah I know MHA is probably one of my least favourite fanbases that I've encountered ESPECIALLY on twitter.I'm just saying from my experiences I've meet some cool fanbases although they are a lot of toxic ones.

So a same guy is replying constantly on a author's MAL page=whole fandom toxic and narrow minded? Plus how does it even compare to harassment when the page isn't OFFICIAL which means the author probably doesn't even know it exists?

i think even the author doesn't know it. The thought of someone stranger accuse you some baseless things is in itself a toxicity of the fandom. And that fandom has it. And they are aggresive. And MAL is the biggest site anything anime, so its a big deal.

Well I don't really interact with the entire fate fanbase mainly because i don't like fate/stay night as much as i like fate/zero also haven't seen many other fate other then heaven's feel and zero. But if that's really the case well damn.

Naruto, Shingeki no Kyojin and Jojo

Fanbases that are concerned with watching their animes without disturbing other fanbases with "shounen's desconstruction"

In my experience, the Madoka Magica fandom has always been super chill and with little to no toxicity. The Magia Record game branch of the fandom is also very nice and full of funny memes.

It's probably my favorite anime fanbase in general.

I've seen a couple of ppl mentioning fma. Although I do agree that the fanbase is pretty chill, I heard there's a group of fma fanboys rating down other anime so that fmab remains number one. Not sure ?

Anyway, trying not to be bias, I do believe Gintama has the best and most chill fanbase. Even before I completed Gintama. I don't see much toxicity and I agree with the points raised above.

I will also bring up Steins;Gate based on my experience. Pretty chill

Baseless accusations?
Look,while I agree that calling bunny girl straight up monogatari rip off is exaggeration , it's not entirely baseless. Bunny Girl has taken many elements from Monogatari , intentional or not.
Doesn't matter if it's the biggest site or not. You called a guy shitting on an unofficial page of an author "harassment" , which is dumb as fuck.
Do you even know what ACTUAL harassment is? Go to the tweets of the Domestic Na Kanojo author Kei Sasuga.
Also MAL is not relevant in Japan.

Shingeki no Kyojin? I posted a video on the biggest subreddit of the anime , asking if a specific scene was a plot hole or not.
It WAS a plot hole , and while many people had different explainations , it wasn't confirmed in the source material.. But instead of just accepting and moving on , they started calling me out. How I am an attention seeker and told me to pat myself in the back cause I found a small plot hole.

Yeah. Sounds REALLY friendly.
