How big of a weeb are you on a scale of 1 to 10?

Let's say a 1 means a casual or rookie weeb, and a 10 is a mega otaku, where would you fit on that scale?

Personally I would give myself a 5 or a 6. I'm not that experienced when it comes to the quantity of anime I've actually finished, but I do sure love talking about anime in general and am really passionate about it, especially when it comes to my all time favorites.

I'd probably give myself an 8. I'm pretty passionate about the medium and I like to interact.

Probably a 7 or 8, I really enjoy anime + love talking about them+ collect merch like manga, light novels, and figures.

Might be a 6, I'm not up to all seasonal stuff or, well, don't catch up with the most popular shows unless I'm already planning to watch them. Even then I prefer binging stuff. I have bought manga but nothing else in terms of anime merchandise or fandom interaction, like figurines, cosplay, pillows, or going to a con.

I'm at negative level right now.
Disgust I feel for anime is immeasurable.

I haven’t seen that many anime, and I’d consider myself to be more of a grass toucher, so probably like a 6 in terms of weebness. 🤷‍♂️

Hmm how does the scale measure 'otaku-ness'? Like, I haven't seen all that much anime considering how long I've been watching, and it also isn't too rare for me to not watch any anime for months at a time. But I also own a body pillow so where does that put me?

Love anime, but I would probably classify myself as more of a 5/6. I like to collect merch, but not a lot, and I enjoy messing around and looking at fanart. I like to engage more in fandom, too.

Depends on the definition.
If you mean how much animes I've watched or how much I know about anime related stuff then that'd be a 9 or 10.
If it's something like how much I'm obsessed with anime related stuff then 7/10 because I'm fairly interested in animanga but not that much. Weeb also refers to being interested in Japan's culture and it's people, and honestly I couldn't give a shit about those.

I identify myself as Japanese even though I'm not, so 10 should suffice.

I don't see myself as a casual, but I don't really identify as a weeb either. I'd say any number from 4-7 would probably be fair.

I would say probably a 7. I love watching anime, however, I don't watch as much as I used to. although I would say my 40-50 ep A day was the "New Weeb" stage of being in this community. I collect manga and have some wall scrolls, but no figures. Yet. I would say if you put this question out like 6 months ago or so I would have been like a 8. I am interested in Japanese culture but I don't want to get really into it. I'm definitely a weeb not an otaku.

Eh, depends on how you measure it. I've seen quite a bit and probably about 90% of the media I consume is from Japan. However, I don't buy any anime stuff for myself; I have a few anime graphic tees that my sister bought me, but I hardly ever wear them because I hate when strangers decide to start a conversation with me because what is on my shirt.

Somewhere in the middle I guess. Honestly, I don't really consider myself a "weeb" in the first place. To me "weeb" implies at least some level of obsession with anime or just Japanese culture in general. I've watched and played a lot of Japanese media, but I wouldn't go so far as to say I'm obsessed in any capacity.

I would say an 8.

Anime has been a big part of my life for a long time and I've seen a good number of shows, but I don't make it seem like my only interest when talking to others/don't go overboard with it like some do.

I'd give myself a high 7. I love the medium and I'm very passionate about it, but I don't buy any merch or go to cons or anything, although I'd love to do so (especially a waifu body pillow and a figure!). I do occasionally make manga styled comics on my insta from time to time out of my love for it though, and I plan on making some cool stuff with Blender one day (??? out when 😭). It's been a part of my life for a long time and it has only grown bigger since then.

I don't have much completed at the moment because I've always been slow when completing anime, but that's gonna change this year.

Probably a 6 or a 7. I really love anime (despite the fact I shunned it in my younger days), and I like talking about anime with people that share the same interest. I've not gone as far as buying merch yet, but I think I will soon.

I love anime/manga as much as the next guy/gal

I don't watch any seasonal anime and when I watch anime it has to be Finished+English Dub complete

if something is still airing or there is no English dub I don't watch them simple enough.

My room is full of anime and manga stuff. My Light Novel collection is growing aswell.

Honestly everyone around me knows I love anime, but I’m not too open that much, if someone asks, then yes I’ll say I love anime and I do go around wearing a wings of freedom jacket all the time.
I’d say irl 4/10
Online 7.5/10
I’m not too into the otaku culture such as degeneracy and stuff but I would like to think I know my stuff.

And I’m pretty sure, according to your statistics and rating system, you’d be a 3 at best

Everyone thinks I’m a weeb except for me lmfao. I hardly watch anime (I usually dislike it), but I read a lot of manga because I love comics in general. However, I usually find that manga are better-made than western comics, especially when it comes to art; on top of that, there’s a crazy amount available that I could like, since I mostly read weird niche manga as a kid. Thus, I am super big into exploring manga titles specifically right now.

I don’t think this makes me a weeb, but apparently, since “I will read something just because it’s manga,” (no, I won’t; I read stuff that interests me) people insist that I’m in denial.

I know a lot about the manga industry & some of its history, so I’d put myself at a 3. I do collect Mamegoma plushies, though, and I have 150+ manga volumes (1/3 of these are Pokémon), so maybe a 4…

I love manga and anime and consume it a lot but I dont usually get that envolved in the community or merch. The most I do is collect manga and buy a few shirts. I've never been to a convention, met up to other people to talk about anime, collected figures, watched streamers, or tried studying the history of anime

I don't think I count as an otaku, I'm not knowledgeable enough about anime.
I know big name directors, prolific studios, how anime was made back then, how it's made today.
I know who was influenced by who and what, why certain stuff is the way it is. how some studios came to be or died out recently.
I've been to animecons and I buy anime figures. I've seen plenty of anime, current and old.
I constantly try to learn about anime history, I even watch tokusatsu.
but I don't know the super miniscule stuff like who did the insert song in ep9 of x show. who directed that specific episode, and which sakuga scene was done by which animator. I also don't know how each show came to be, save for a few.

I suck at rating things but for the sake of posting a comment in such a thread.

On a scale of I don't buy figures, but I will buy manga/dvds and blu-rays or games (books/tv and games are the extent I always go for products I don't care for merch),

-Do think Anime/Manga is better than other forms of media as it doesn't make me groan at the tropes and jokes as much. I don't think it's the best thing since slicing bread/milk and all that.

-get whichever ones i care about movies digitally if I can just to see them (physical if possible but usually digital) because I know they won't bring them over,

-watches enough good, in-between, niche and trash

-while being fine with Waifu culture/just casually throwing out terms in public with no care when it comes to JRPGs (as others around me don't watch anime when I say them in public) I'd say probably a 5.

I don't care for the fake fans/over thinking and other nonsense weeb was associated with originally. I enjoy Anime, I'm an Otaku of many things not just Anime (more critical of music, technology and games than Anime). I prefer Otaku, Anime Fan, Nerd or Legend that wastes their time with entertainment as valid options of classification (yes I had to waste my time typing that for the fun of it) XD over Weeb.
