| Yes... Might depend on the anime sometimes though, I'd imagine. |
| Are you talking about in real life? If so, then yeah I get along fine with male anime fans since there are no females ones. They may like shows that I dislike, but it's all cool -- doesn't mean we'll get into some fight about it. But it seems that I'm the only "hardcore" fan in my year group... |
 |
| No, obviously not. That would never ever happen, that's crazy, we're like, totally different genders so that kind of interaction is unacceptable and would never happen, even if we do share hobbies. Or you're just asking a silly question. |
| I actually dont know any female anime fans but i would think they would get along just fine. Like they would if you shared anyother interests. |
     |
| my partner and I are both anime fans....and it helps that she's half-jap so she's my translator at times(well if not her, then her mom when she's over) as for your question, I don't see why males and females can't get along watching anime, just the other night, my partner and I watched hentai...but thats another matter.... |
| females are disgusting and female anime fans are even more disgusting. |
 |
| If there wre someone near to my house... I'm sure we'll find something that we both can watch... I talked with someboys, and seem they like ehat I do... The problem: They live far away (In my country, btu still). As long as the other one is nice and love it (It isn't nice to force people), so I don't mind with who I watch. |
 |
| I don't think a guy who is only into stuff like Helling would get along with some girl only into Lucky Star and shoujoish crap. However, a girl and a guy both into Sayonora Zetsubou Sensei with get along extremely well! (I know) |
 |
| Yes they do. Sometimes they even have sex, and make tiny anime fans. |
 Waratte Oemashou Sore ha Chiisana Inori |
| Yeah, I watch anime with these girls in class a lot. |

| I've met some girls who are into anime that I enjoy hanging out with, but for the most part, I don't get along with the majority of girls into anime. |
| I know one or two, they're mainly into Studio Ghibli films or harem anime so there isn't much compatibility. So I can't say that i know, i've never met many girls who are anime fans to be honest XD. |
| I haven't met any anime girl otaku over here yet - they just like one or two anime. But they were nice to talk to at the very least. |
| Absolutely NOT, I knew a few female anime fans back in High School, and SURPRISE, SURPRISE, they were only exclusive to FUCKING yaoi. I understand that some female anime fans are turned off by male anime fans liking lolis and moe shit, but it's probably 10 times worst (for male fans) when we see a bunch of fucking yaoi fan-girls and their horrible delusions of anime. It's even worst when they start to do pairings in Shounen anime like Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Code Geass, Death Note, ESPECIALLY DEATH NOTE!!! I wouldn't mind so much if they were watching shounen just to see the male anime characters they like, but they're so fanatical about their fucking YAOI bullshit that it's almost impossible to get along with them. |

This goes for the majority of people you meet in public who claim to be fans of "anime". They either only watch the popular crap or whatever is on Adult Swim on Saturday nights. Chances are, you aren't going to find many "anime fans" who know anything beyond those type of anime series you just listed. I once met someone who claimed he was a big Gundam fan; apparently watched them all. Yet he said his favorite Gundam series was Gundam SEED. While I don't like to assume things, if you've watched every single Gundam series; how would SEED be your favorite? I guess it's possible, but it seems unlikely with masterpieces such as Zeta Gundam or even Turn-A Gundam was pretty damned good, even if it was a little light-hearted for a Tomino-directed Gundam series. While I'm a fan of anime; I'm a plot fan first, mecha fan second, and I guess anime fan third. I don't really care what it is, if it has a plot that is fluid; or interesting characters, I'll take a bite out of it. But I haven't exactly met anyone of the opposite sex like that. Closest I've come to is "ZOMG Vampire Knight" or something along those lines. I don't mind if you watch anime just to see the "popular" anime, in fact I embrace that aspect, at least they're watching anime and later on they can move onto more sophisticated and complex anime. What bothers me is Yaoi fan-girls who only watch shounen anime so they can pair up the guys from the shows. BTW, being a fan of anime doesn't mean that you're exclusive to a certain type of anime, it just means that you like anime in general and you appreciate the Japanese style of stories. |
| My boyfriend usually leaves me to watch the girl animes like sailor moon :P But we do watch Naruto together |
| TIME TO LIVE FOREVER BABY! http://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=19549 Please join if you love Asian Cinema :) |
| Sometimes? I think women are easier to convince to watch shounen animes than men to watch shoujo stuffs. But I have convinced a few men (who are shounen anime fans) to watch Nana, and they said they enjoyed it. So I guess it depends on what anime they're gonna talk about. |
Veethorn said: I don't think a guy who is only into stuff like Helling would get along with some girl only into Lucky Star and shoujoish crap. I hate to break it to you but Lucky Star would be considered a shonen title as it runs in a shonen magazine. And as a girl who mostly had male friends though the years, yes males and females can get along perfectly well. To many people base things on a single experience which does not hold true for every experience. I like yaoi but never would I bother my male friends (where not into it) with talking about it. Also the fact is many shonen titles have yaoi bait in them to get female readership. Because in the end what is important is sales. |

| Depends. If they have very contrasting preferences, then maybe not. Some girls who are super fangirly piss me off though. |
| I treat female fans like I treat male fans, if they like crappy anime and are total weaboos then I'll have nothing to do with them. Well if the female is hot and I have a chance of fucking her then I'll play along, but I've yet to meet a weaboo I'd even want near my dick. But oddly enough my a bigger anime fan then my current Girl Friend, she only watches dubs....trying to break her of that habit... |
| It doesn't think, it doesn't feel, it doesn't laugh or cry..... All it does from dusk till dawn is make the soldiers die. |
| Well, here where I live yes. most of my friends are Otaku's and between theme I have boys and girls. were not talking about Anime most of time but we do recommmend for the others and stuff. |
| lol I am the allmighty Tuki of DOOM! ----- I♥ANIME |
| I recently met one, and I borrowed Haibane Renmei from her, still haven't returned it... I only talked to her about anime once, and we both agree that "Kino's Journey" is awesome. |

Jiynnx said: Well I'm female and I'm not like that about yaoi, at all. I hate fangirl pairings too. I've seen a few pictures that still haunt me of some of my favourite characters in yaoi pairings, they're always illogical pairings too. Stupid-stupid pairings that are made just because the characters are friends!? Well it's nice to hear that NOT all female anime fans are the way I described my encounter with the few I knew. I think it's fine if you like yaoi, hell I would be a hypocrite if I said I wasn't into same sex pairings (I obviously don't mind YURI), but the problem is making pairings when THERE IS NO REASON TO DO THAT. For example people love to pair up Konata and Kagami from Lucky Star, I think that's OK since there is DEFINITELY something there. However pairing up Ichigo and Chad from Bleach is just stupid and uncalled for. In fact pairing up MOST shounen male characters together is ridiculous, these guys are nowhere near being gay, (Sasuke is, but that's a different story). If you want to pair up 2 male characters together, get them from shoujo anime/manga like Vampire Knight, Skip Beat, Ouran, etc. We (male anime fans) don't like to see our favorite male characters from shounen anime/manga being paired up in homosexual relationships. |
| Sometimes... but not really. I don't really have any guy friends who like anime, but I have talked to a lot of guys who do. ^-^; They always recommend I watch those awful harem series!!! I'm a girl!! I don't want to want to see girls panties! |
 |
| Well, yes. -_-" |
alexcampos said: I think it's fine if you like yaoi, hell I would be a hypocrite if I said I wasn't into same sex pairings (I obviously don't mind YURI), but the problem is making pairings when THERE IS NO REASON TO DO THAT. I agree with this. I was in a situation once where a group of girls and I were talking about the anime we like. Once someone Naruto, one fangirl was like "OMG!! I totally think that ______ and ______ should be together!! That would be sooooo kawaii!!!!!" Even though I like yaoi, I'm not a fan of unnecessary pairings. But a few cannon pairings are okay though, as long as they're not over praised. Back to topic - I haven't met any male anime fans outside of the internet but I think that I could get along with them. |
Akateito said: ... I'm not a fan of unnecessary pairings. But a few cannon pairings are okay though, as long as they're not over praised. I agree. And yes, back to topic: In Junior high, I had a friend, he moved to a different school. At the time, I didn't know he was into anime/manga. Then my junior year of high school, I met him (by accident) at a con. It was very surprising! I caught up with him, how he's doing, where was he going to school, etc. He was cosplaying a chara from Naruto.. So I was like, 'Wow he's really into it.." Then, I met him again at the next con... It was so weird, we ended up hanging out for the con-weekend and we talked about various stuff, including anime/manga recommendation... At school, I know like 3 guys that I could talk to about anime AND anything else. 1 who'd just talk and talk about Air Gear (I'ven't watched it yet), another (a debator) about one piece, another that reads xxxHolic--which was weird... So, I guess I could say I get along with guys that are into anime. |
      |
| 2 of my friends both female get along with me as anime fans, one is into yuri and the other Magic girl and Moe, there is no bishounen fangirl behavior in either one. It depends on the situation, I just am fortunate to have good friends and anime fans with very similar tastes in anime. |
 |
| There are a few guys I get along with, though most of my friends consist of fangirls... I guess it depends on the kind of anime being watched. |
 |
| I'm surprised not a lot of people know(or get along with) the opposite sex when it comes to anime fans. For those that still go to school or uni, don't you have clubs that may relate to anime/manga? I know I did back in uni, and there was probably a greater ratio to girls opposed to guys who were members. Of course, a majority of them like the yaoi stuff(to which I will never watch, not even my fiancee can get me to watch it), but they were also into shonen/seinen and even moe stuff. I remember once, there was this cute but timid girl back in my 2nd year who introduced me to Gantz(the manga) and Elfen Lied. |
| Yes, but usually there has to be some sort of compromise. For example, not many (straight) guys are going to hang out and watch Cardcaptor Sakura with me, and I'd rather tear my eyeballs out with my own fingers than watch Naruto. |
 |
Koishii said: not many (straight) guys are going to hang out and watch Cardcaptor Sakura with me The fools! Sakura is one of anime's most powerful curb stompers! In episode one alone she roller skates off a wall to leap onto the back of a magical falcon, and then slams it with her staff rod! |

But the only male friend I watch anime with scoffs at the magical girl genre, haha. While this is understandable due to the quality of magical girl shows these days, Sakura did and still does dominate. :D obliviouz said: i've watched the series and movies of it before any girl i knew thats seen it...i still think it was good storytellling....does make me feel gay for seeing it either Implying any guy who has seen or likes CCS is gay was definitely not my intention. Just that such a person is rare (and wonderful). :) |
