| Ehhh, I think a lot of anime community are becoming more like a house of congress. :/ Maybe that's why I feel like I don't fit to it or something like that... |
| Anime community? You mean that group of nerds who like Japanese cartoons? Those guys are the worst. |
| well it depends on which anime community. Forums like MAL and anidb are alright because the comments are moderated so there are never any heated arguments. Social Media pages on Facebook, etc are CANCER, they are basically the majority of the toxicity present in the anime community as a whole. Stuff there is either cringe or out of context which ruins the whole purpose of an anime appreciation page. Image boards such as reddit and 4chan are really informative. As bad as 4chan sounds there r actually nice people on it who r willing to help anime newbies. FYI the only bad people on 4chan r on /b and /pol |

But if i had to, i'd choose Rei over Asuka anyday |

| Pretty cancer tbh. Worst part is the hipsters that shit on almost every anime they watch. Or the ones that rag on the most popular new show every season, yet they still continue to watch it so they can bitch and moan in the episode threads. |

| Eat or be eaten. Conform or we'll conform you. @bakakuro rly the mal forums are tame? it's a playground for shitposting. |

| Friendly trolling is their specialty, but that could be said about any community |
 |
| better than before? or same ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, |
| i am shitposter. dont take me seriously. |
| I am very open to my stance about this community being terrible. "Weeaboos" aren't the bad fans. The fanbase in general is just very toxic. |
 |
| I could do with less irony and self-depreciation on these forums. Other than that, I'm fine with it. I still find interesting discussions here. You just have to avoid shitposting. Specifically the Israeli community is fantastic, very cheery and happy and accepting. Anime conventions are a joy to go to. |

| It's pure cancer online. But I think it's the same for every community with a large fanbase. The only thing we all have in common is that we like anime, which leaves plenty of room to hate anyone with different tastes. It's better offline, but that's just because people don't behave the way they do online. Anonymity and stuff. |

| grabbing the baton from our vip ecchifag, i will claim there is no such thing as anime community |

They know their irony is unwelcome and pointless there. Calling a bunch of happy people weebs makes you look like a sad sack outside the internet. |

| They are probably are mostly geeks that like to whine about everything, just like the geeks that like comics, or sci-fi stuff like Star Wars or Marvel, etc. I read entries from The Anime Encyclopedia, the authors are just elitist that worked in the anime industry that liked dumping on a lot of anime series in that book. Really, why can't we have a reference that just has a good description of a series without this cynicism. That book is written for anime fans, and not anime haters. That may be the problem of the anime community nowadays. |
| At least from my perspective, we have things to fix such as illegal streaming (that could be solved with more availability possibly) and an occasional difficulty for some people to get into the community however overall I think the community is pretty good and can bring some good things for the future ;) |
| The anime community is great! Everyone is so nice and positive, I wish all communities were like us! We all work together to spread our happiness and friendship, we are really unique in that regard! We are obviously better than all those western cartoon guys who always shit on our anime and stuff, they need a lesson in friendship if you ask me, teehee! |
 orz |
| The community is pretty unforgiving, and if you make a single mistake, the dickier members of the community will pounce on you and never let you forget it. In every community, there are elitists, but it doesn't make them any less annoying. As anime is getting more mainstream, less special snowflake assholes and more normal, nice people are in the community. I think it's great. |
 |
| It's a great community full of loving people and outgoing people. |
