Has there been an anime fanbase that hyped up their anime so much that you were turned off from watching it?
| ✡ Self-explanatory question. ( I edit the topic because it seems the question wasn't clear.) I was excited to check out Attack on Titan, but then I remembered the toxic fanbase. |

| Nope. I don't care about toxic fanbases, MAL scores/ratings, IMDB ratings, etc. x3 I simply ignore them. |
 |
| If you're not going to watch an anime just because of its toxic fan base, that's kind of weird, but that's up to you, I guess. |
| No. It's easy to just watch an anime without interacting with fans, so a toxic fanbase wouldn't stop me from watching something I had a genuine interest in. |
 |
| No? Just don’t interact with the fanbase and watch the show then? |

| @Alpha_1_Zero Did you just reply to your own thread while also contradicting your op? |
| No, I have never been turned off from watching an anime because of hype or the fanbase. The anime and the fans are two separate things. |

| @KryzakamiHrybami OP replied to engage but forgot to switch profiles. |
| If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time. Watch more movies, please. Perhaps, this is hell. |

@Alpha_1_Zero Did you just reply to your own thread while also contradicting your op?
| @KryzakamiHrybami Well, since nobody else is responding to this thread, I'm doing it myself. |
|
| JJK was the one for me, although I already watched S1 and the film, the season 2 hype just turned me away from watching it. |
| Nope, I'm not that kind of contrarian, but another kind. |
This dance is the pinnacle of human achievement. |
| Nah, I'm used to avoiding the fanbases for shows I like while continuing to watch the shows. I actually started avoiding fanbases while watching shows before getting into anime when I found out how bad The Loud House fandom was in the late 2010s. |
 |
| Wow this thread has live character development No I watch what interests me |
| Might watch it anyways but Legend of Galactic Heroes, most of it's fans are fart sniffing elitists. |
| Well, not in 100% of the cases, but there are some bad fandoms which are indicative of the show itself...so yeah, one should check everything they are interested in, but some premonitions will turn out to be true. |
| Not really, its just most of the time they are the ones I forgot to continue |
| It's more that if an anime gets really hyped up then the more I doubt I'm going to be that into it. I often don't click with what's being heralded as the best of that season. |
 |
| A friend of mine in college really wanted me to check out Attack on titan, so I haven't seen it out spite toward him specifically |

| Closest one I have is Bungou stray dogs. It feels like for a time every youtuber under the sun had a sponsorship from crunchy roll, and they all were given the exact same lines to say "So what are you waiting for, you could be watching high quality anime right now, like Bungou stray dogs, one of my favourites...". This alone would not deter me, but the funny thing is, I saw it happening again with season 2, and season 3. Yeah, I don't know what it is, but seeing so many people shill a show, even if it was just a sideeffect of their sponsorship, created a negative ascociation in my mind. |
| What makes you think its fan base is toxic?? |
| The opinions of a fanbase haven't dissuaded me from experiencing any form of entertainment. Though, I can imagine if its somewhat analogous to how some Evangelion fans who like to dunk on Darling in the Franxx that fans of the latter might be peeved at the fan warfare. |
| It shouldn't affect me...but everytime someone mentions the "gEniUS" dialogue of Monogatari I wanna throw up xD |
 |
| just glazers, i'll watch the anime if i like it |
 |
| The closest for me would be Bocchi the Rock. I ended up watching it anyway, but it has such an awful fanbase that I couldn't help dissociate the two for a while. |
| Don't pay attention to fan bases, if it seems good I'll watch it regardless. |
