| I think they are. But I don't know how to put it into words. Would someone else do it for me? |
  |
| Yes Stephen Hawking and Albert Einsteins both confirmed that watching anime is why they were able to do such great things. |
 |
| That doesn't work like that sorry. Even if that was the case, that would just on AVERAGE and not by a lot, which would still not tell you if YOU personally are smarter than someone without the hobby. |
 |
| Yes, anime fans are intelligent and watching anime makes you smart. |
 |
| I don't know and I don't think watching or not watching would make a difference, cause as you have some anime, which require to focus and have some complex thoughts on plot/science etc. You can as well find a literature/movies/tv shows/ docummentaries/archives about the same topics, so as long as you follow other stuff related to the similar complex. As long as you compare someone who doesn't follow any stuff related to being smart/intelligent to someone who has watched some complex anime stuff, than yeah you would be right, but otherwise I don't think it would be a big difference. |

| You've been on this site for almost 5 years surrounded by anime fans, I'm sure you know the answer to that question by now. |
 |
| It really depends on the person/people ur comparing. |
 In this world shrouded in darkness, I learned there was someone who’d been struggling along with me. That alone is enough.  |

|
| I'm pretty sure it's the other way around |

| Sure, whatever makes you guys feel better about yourselves... |
 |
| All the great minds from Pythagoras and Plato to Newton and Einstein were all well known anime connoisseurs so you might be onto something there. |
funguy56 said: Studies has shown that watching anime for a extensive period of time can make your IQ higher especially if you're watching shows from harem, ecchi and hentai genres. Brains work best when someone has no trace of stress. Watching "weird shit" also gives your brain a workout and develops underused parts of the brain so they will work better. |
|
| These forums are always good for a laugh. |
| Keep dreaming. Even if you count me in, it is still not enough to make any significant difference considering the sheer number of people involved. |
| nah, we are all retards and piece of shit |
 |
| Yes because I singlehandedly skew the average to the top. |
| Most anime barely require any thinking. They "painstakingly" feed you all the information through narration, internal monologues and expositions. So if anything, watching too much anime should make you dumber. |
| I think it depends what anime genre you are refering to. The average shounen fan is pretty average to low iq generally. Mystery and supernatural anime fans are probably above average to high. Mecha genre also generally attracts high iq individuals if I had to take a guess. Certain anime like Ergo Proxy, Serial Experiments Lain, Mawaru Penguindrum, and Tatami Galaxy are difficult to enjoy if you do not give them any thought for interpretation. |

| There is no way to get an answer for this since there are stupid people everywhere no matter what |

| Have you already forgotten what happened in the last 3 months? Let me remind you. "Oh I don't like x show therefore it's overrated and should be rated a 1/10." " Let's all rate everything in the top 10 a 1/10 because I like one show more than the other" "FMAB vs AOT drama" " CGI bad because 3D bad and looks out of place" " Nino is the best girl of The Quintessential Quintuplets" " Pieck ass" |

| Yep, I can clearly feel my IQ dropping as well as my grades if a day goes by without watching anime. But truly... Does watching anime make you smarter? Depends on the anime. Are anime fans very smart? Depends on the fan. Sadly, we don't have access to large statistics comparing the two groups. Only anecdotes.

And I'm gonna watch Aldnoah.Zero, Captain Earth, Valvrave, and some others I can't think of right now. I like the Evangelion rebuilds more than the original TV series. |

| Yes, all anime fans have the potential to become Kiras in the future. |
| Of course, the dedication, intellectual prowess, and sophisticated word choice used in our best waifu debates can be likened to the great clashes between Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr themselves. Alas, the study of waifuology is an under appreciated and under recognised scientific field, the better question that needs asking is whether we deserve government funding for our findings into the beauty of anime waifu’s. Personally, I believe our work to be essential to the future development and evolution of our species, on par with space travel and biology. In fact, one could argue it holds a greater importance than biology as through our debates and exploration of what makes up a holy waifu, we are essentially providing a guideline on the ideal path of evolution for all 3D females to follow. A guidepost to what they should be. Currently, the perfect example, the one true waifu and inspiration our findings have shown, is illustrated in the image below. |

| I could see it going either way. Anime fans are more likely to be nerdy introverts who statistically speaking on average do have higher IQs. But if you're a loser who wastes your time watching TV rather than studying to do well in school or working to move up in your job your mind determinates and your IQ actually gets lower over time (and there certainly are a lot of anime fans who spend way too much time watching anime me included lol but I primarily watch it while working out so hopefully it doesn't count as wasted time). |
| Depends on the anime. LOGH fans are most definitely midwits. Geniuses watch mahou shoujo. |
| my IQ is about 500 especailly because I am incel. |
 penis lol |

just a weeb wandering around.  |
| Just tell a weeb that their favorite Anime is trash and watch them lose their minds lol... |
 |
| My IQ definitely brings the average up. No need to thank me |
