The most sane are the 5 Cyborg 009 fans that must exist out there and the least sane are the fans of Suzumiya Haruhi, because for someone to be a fan of Haruhi, sanity is something that goes far from his life hahaha.




i'm very funny. 🤡

Most sane is easily Gintama. Least sane could go to a lot of fandoms but I'll go with the MHA one.

I predict that people will once again praise the fandom for their favorite shows and berate the ones they don't. Most of these threads always work that way, since people often define adequacy according to their views and temperament.

Sorry to break it to you but the Eva fans are not sane either.
Retro fans on the other hand are pretty chill. Met tons of cool guys through /m/.

Most sane: Could be a few
Least Sane: Easily Dragon ball z (I'm a fan but oh boy there is definite an obsession going on with a good majority )
The Naruto fanbase is catching up though. When Gear 5 happened on One Piece all the db and Naruto fans and some Bleach fans had a right old tantrum online about it.

The sanest fans are loli hentai fans.
The least sane fandom I encountered: Monogatari series. Almost all of death wishes and threatenings to find and kill me and my family I received were from Monogatari fans.

Most sane: ABe's anime fans imo.
Least sane: Anything where there's heavy potential for shipping, like Fairy Tail or any fujoshi bait like Haikyuu or Kuroko no Basuke. These places are hell.

They're all pretty terrible tbh. Most sane and least sane changes depending on the trends and the season. Generally, the really popular stuff gets the worst people because they get the most people, so the bad parts stand out more. In my experience the sanest fandoms to deal with are the ones for things that for things that are hardly viewed. Battle shounen and isekai seem to be the least sane. There are good and bad parts of all fandoms though so don't go generalizing everyone that like something just because you've had negative exposure to other fans.
Be gentle.

Most sane fans: Fans of obscure Anime who don't care about other's opinions and believe their opinion is 100% pure fact but don't attack others for having different opinion because peasants' voice do not matter to the King. Best Fandom would be the fandom of City Hunter, Ashita no Joe, Madoka Magica, Tokyo Ghoul, Legend of the Galactic Heroes. At least we don't raid profiles and random users for not liking or understanding our series.

Least sane fans: Shonen fans or any fan who attack other people for not liking their favorite Anime (Can be even Seinen and Shojo fans too)

@Faxtual_Ghoul

I’d regard the lotgh fanbase as formerly insane when they accepted Thatanimesnob as the best critic in the anime community. When he dropped off, they’ve gotten saner since.

@Runasius At least Young Defiant and AnimeSnob don't attack people personally for not liking their series
They may act like they are superior and mock the fans of the series they dislike but they don't raid other channels or profiles

@tchitchouan I'm a fan of both... Both have pretty "interesting" fans.

Also the elitism that it thinks it is compared to other animes is pretty annoying and just wrong to people who don't enjoy the show even if they understand its merits. But most anime cult fans are like that so I guess it's not just an Eva fan thing.

@Zackception I think there's a fine difference between an insane fandom and a toxic one. Too often I think they get mixed up. But I will say that every fandom big enough has some toxic mindsets.

@tchitchouan I've literally never seen anyone saying Eva fans are sane, in turn even remotely likeable. But I guess you've made a successful bait either way.

@Faxtual_Ghoul

I’m sorry but are we talking about different YouTubers here? Young defiant I understand, but Thatanimesnob was infamous for encouraging his followers to raid other YouTube channels, especially smaller channels. Nowadays he doesn’t do it any longer since it’s too obsessed with Chibi reviews and forneverworld, but back in like 2016-2018 he was absolutely notorious for it.

Most sane : mostly niche anime fanbases and iyashikei fanbases (Natsume Yuujinchou, Mushishi, Yuru Camp, Non Non Biyori...)
LOGH fanbase seems pretty nice too

Least sane : This one's easy. All the most popular anime, especially the shonen nekketsu. And every anime that includes waifu "debates"

@Runasius Thanks for the info. I never knew about it.

But nowadays he simply makes fun of popular YouTubers and nothing else
