| How much time do you spend in modern fandom? Are you trying to share your experience with young fans or to refute any misconceptions? |
 |
| Not really. Aside from Youtube, I have a couple co-workers that watch but there's no deconstruction or anything like that, just floating names and recommendations and that's all I want it to be most of the time. It's essentially a sales pitch for attention and time. |
| Be intentional in all decisions and grab control of destiny in your life - make your choices count. Life is a fluid undetermined journey - the good, the bad and the idle everyday situations in-between, all held together with purpose, families, dreams, and memories. |
| I always try to clear misconceptions whenever I see them even though sometimes they drive me nuts. |

| I am posting just so that I can call myself a experienced viewer, lol!! How much time do you spend in modern fandom? No, I don't. I occasionally use mal forums other than that I don't interact with other fan. Are you trying to share your experience with young fans or to refute any misconceptions? I try my best not to correct those so called misconceptions because I might be wrong who knows. If they ask for suggestion I will surely help but I don't go out of my way to correct their theories, because it's sorta feel like an elitist. At least I try my best to suppress that urge. |

| How much time do you spend in modern fandom? not much. at all. I occasionally reply on the forums. Are you trying to share your experience with young fans or to refute any misconceptions? yes and no. I mostly just recc anime. they WILL NOT watch anything older than 2015. no matter what you tell them, it just doesn't work because it's not a hot topic anymore. they watch anime to socialize, it's not for the experience itself. truly a shame. |

Kenzolo-folk said: would i be considered experienced if im still young but have completed more animes than most people? Experience is not measured with age, rather it's the involvement in that field. If you have experienced more anime ranging in all genres than most of the people then that means you are experienced. Age has nothing to do with it. |

To be honest, I've met older people who have watched more anime than I do, but they still wrote pretty stupid things. |

| I dont get the time to explore online sites like MAL regarding this but whenever im talking to a friend that has a misconception of anything i do try to clear it up because he is ruining the fun otherwise... Also, when you get to know about diff opinions on a show or a scene it really helps to understand something better cuz the change in perspective... |

Are anime older than 2015 considered too old? by today's standards yes, unfortunately. 2010 was the line just a few years back. when I started out an irl friend told me he's not willing to watch anything made before 2000. it's sad for a few reasons. 1. old anime has way better production value most of the time. it simply looks better. 2. a lot of current stories are either heavily "inspired" rehashes or sequels. chances are something you liked has been done better before. 3. new shows do reference old ones, more often than not. they could get extra kicks out of new shows as well. 4. every era has dominant themes, which means watching just the currently airing ones will not only rob you from tons of different experiences, but you'll end up bored with what you currently have and just leave thinking that's all anime has to offer. 5. complete genres died out, which you can never experience unless you're willing to look back. 6. classics deserve their title (mostly). they achieved something new shows just can't. they shaped the industry to what it is today. it works as a history lesson too, if you're interested in how your favorite show came to be. I blame shortsighted people who parrot "anime is trash, haha am I right? do I fit in yet? we're all cringewatchers here" |

So I'm answering. I don't really care about modern fandom, unless they ask for any recommendation. Regarding discussions, I don't worry that much about refuting since they are new. But again, if they ask recommendations I try my best to give any classic anime, or """cult""" one (Lain, Monster etc) |

In my understanding, an experienced anime fan is someone who has watched at least some of the "must-have" cult shows and has enough knowledge of the content and industry to have an interesting discussion about it. Sometimes you don't even need to have 100500 titles in MAL, just be aware of and understand important shows. |

I don’t know you, so I can’t say anything. |

| Idk if I am considered experienced or not but I love to recommend shows I liked to other fans bc I get really happy when they like my recommendations and about misconception, I will likely correct some of them like 'Pre 2005-2010 anime are bad' but won't force my opinion or interpretation of a certain on them bc that's just behaving like those I hate the most- 'Elitist'. |
    ═════════════════════════════ You're going to be all right. You just stumbled over a stone in the road. It means nothing. Your goal lies far beyond this. Doesn't it? I'm sure you'll overcome this. You'll walk again... soon. ═════════════════════════════  |
Kenzolo-folk said: would i be considered experienced if im still young but have completed more animes than most people? I think yes? its similer to a 28 year old playing 50 football matches and 22 year dude playing 100+ even tho latter in younger he has more experience in that field. the more anime you watch the more you will find about your personal taste and overall what you consider good or bad show not mention other small details |
| Zero. I don't like 2D stuff turning 3D |
| "Diving deep in the ocean of ACGL" |
| basically it's my time on mal, I just talk about anime and shit |
    |
| I don't know if I count as experienced bbut I usually keep up with almost all the seasonals so I suppose that qualifies as sharing some time with the modern fans |
 |
| I like to share my experience when it comes to recs especially for romance because the vast majority of romance recs are usually the same few series' (especially when it comes to manga cries) so it's a shame to see so many different series' that just go completely unnoticed |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| Max maybe 30 minutes to surf this particular discussion board and make posts and that's only when I'm bored or need a break from binging. If I have the opportunity to watch at home, I will continue to keep watching. My opinion isn't all that unique enough to warrant to continually be more active than this and I don't have the patience. I don't bother posting in seasonal threads. |

| "I've got no wisdom that I want to pass on" - Jarvis Cocker Except this... IRL if you really, really like anime... so much so you want to have an in-depth discussion about it because you heard I also like anime, we probably aren't going to be friends. You can like anime, but you also need to be a normal, socially aware person. It's just awkward if you're a lolicon, talk about your waifu and/or say shit like "kawaii" openly in a normal setting. |
| There's no need for all this tension. |
| Depends, with irl friends I just tend to recommend something that I consider good, or something from MAL with great score, that of course they want to watch, like a lot of them want Romance so I recommend them that (even tho most of them are trash). Discussing with them about remembering scenes or why some are good or bad is also there, we like to discuss, so there's that (not with online people). And for the fandoms, as long as Instagram recommends me posts from them, I'll be interacting with them, but not much. |

| I gladly give advice, share experiences and recommend series to young fans if they´re interested. Sometimes I told stories about how different internet and fandoms used to be in the 2000s. They had a blast, it was fun to see their reactions. However, I sorta gave up on them recently. Most fans under 25 are absorbing the toxicity that is ingrained into social media, specially Twitter and Instagram (Tik Tok too, but I never used this app) It´s really hard to keep up with them and they can be really rude sometimes. Needless to say, there´s the ship insanity, the gender/sexuality war about some characters, the gross "simping" and "stan" culture... I was so stressed I deleted my fandom account on Twitter. I also receive some inappropriate comments on my fanfictions from teenagers... 18+ fanfiction, mind you, but I can´t stop them from visiting my pages, no matter if it´s listed as adult material. The best I can do is not interacting at all. |
| "Could you not talk with me? I'm busy breathing." |
| Not at all. In this day and age changing a person's opinion (whether they're right or wrong) is very difficult. If I see a misunderstanding or dumb opinions I just ignore because if they are the type of person who refuses to listen to logic or straight up reject another opinion, I'd be pissed off the whole day. So, I don't care enough to do that. That being said there is no single way to interpret an idea, many people will have differing opinions but that doesn't necessarily mean they are wrong or right. Also if I want to listen to another person's opinion I don't just listen to a single person's opinion but rather multiple people's opinion and accept the one which makes the most sense to me. |
 I'm level  on mal-badges. View my badges. |
| I use my time watching anime/reading manga/playing video games, I do share my experience sometimes, but I don't engage in fandom that much. As an adult, I'm very experienced when it comes to anime in all kinds of media. |
| Loli hentai is hot. |
| Not too much time, if at all. No, I do not. |
on 
| Well, I participate in episode discussions, although not on MAL because of (ahem) reasons. People irl still engage with me about anime very often, including young ones. I do clear misconceptions but sometimes people really don't want to hear another POV. |
