Coming from a kid with Mikasa as a favorite character, that doesn't mean much...

Is an example of how it's practiced on a daily basis on these forums. "Yeah uhh no one cares what someone with Angel Beats in their favorites thinks."

@ OP - I've gotta ask but what is with your list? Do you rewatch a handful of shows 800 times?

I've already answered this but I'll do it again. I have watched some of the long running animés on my list around 3 to 4 times x

No, it's not a superiority complex if everyone else is factually inferior.

Of course I have a superiority complex because both Vegeta's and Frieza's cells were incorporated into my design and lets not forget I am a kanzentai being created by Dr.Gero.

In accordance with the topic: I like to put myself above most anime fans in terms of intelligence and perception. Although my pacing with watching anime has rapidly declined as of recently, I still believe my ability to see what is good and bad is far above most anime fans. I admit that I use "most" because there are a handful of anime goers that do have my respect as superior people with more experience.

My take on it.

It ain't a superiority complex when everyone knows Miyazaki is the best, some of them just refuse to accept it

It's not those who write impeccable, it's those who are quick to point out grammatical flaws that deserve to be ridiculed. There is nothing wrong with having pride in one's own postings (or opinion), it's when they need to castigate others in order to feel superior that is the issue.

Or did I just shoot myself in the foot for using "castigate" properly?

Why would someone have the actual composer in their avatar? Composers are not good looking people. I think I'll grab some Bach sheet music for my profile pic though.

There are people who have a superiority complex and there are people who think that's hilarious and sarcastically act like them.

Presumably this is to make fun of how silly it is to think that you're smarter than somebody else because your subjective taste in chinese cartoons is "better".

At least, that's why I do it.

Here's a fun game. Look at the following quotes (names removed and ordered by length) and try to identify which are sarcastic and which are not.

Your tastes are inferior, therefore you are inferior.


Most, if not all SeasonalAnime fans are plebs though.


How can people defend shows that are clearly awful?


Only the most intelligent and insightful people can determine what is one of best anime of all time.


Mainstream anime = shit because the majority have shit taste. People should really stop being such plebs and feggits


This isn't about different tastes
this is about stupidity because I don't know what else to call it
this is like twilight winning an oscar
you know this show is bad and this is not just me hating it,I actually wanted to like it but there's just...nothing there


But I do understand that everyone have different taste and I respect that but there should not have been much deviation over what is good and what is crap...people should have been able to differentiate the good from the average and the bad and be more objective in choosing their best animes.

Now, this is coming from an 'unexperiented' anime watcher. I don't feel I have the superiority complex like others have mentioned. Granted, I may not have watched enough anime to say "everything I like is better than everything you like". because..that wouldn't be much (sixty-something anime, here! P:)

Still, I know what I like, and sixty-something is still a pretty decent number. Enough to start to figure out your taste, anyways. But those people who are confined to what they consider "the good kind of anime", and feels superior because they enjoy this 'better' anime pisses me off. Another thing that irritates me is when someone thinks they are 'superior' because they've watched more anime than I have. Senior to me, maybe, but I feel superior is too strong of a word.

Jus my opinion.

I don't try to be but I probably do try to act superior. It probably comes from new anime watchers who immediately jump on popular series band wagons and proclaim they're "otaku", I've seen plenty of anime watchers who slate off anime which they haven't even seen but take other peoples words for it.

I do try to stay away from the more mainstream series, but it's not like I shove that personal view on anime down other people's throats. I'm not one to pass negative judgement on other people's taste. Instead we should try to enter a discussion, rather than a flame fest...

Well, technically if you have more experience in anime, you're somehow superior. Not superior as a human being, but superior as an anime viewer. If you have more knowledge about anime of course you're superior. This guy, for example, is my superior in many ways (he watches more than I do, he is older than me...). In some languages we even have to use a different word to treat someone more experienced than you (honorifics and such).


That's true. If someone has seen 100 anime and tells me that angel beats is the best anime ever made then I can't take that opinion seriously because he isn't experienced in the medium

Most people on this site, yeah, and undeservedly so.
Yoshii Kiria took over as leader of Fairytale and rebuilt it and became one of Tsukunes formidable enemies but let's save that story for another time

Hehe, let me introduce him to you again, kid. This is Shuzen Issa (who is MIA during the final battle), who will become your 'trainer' starting today. You still have much to go if you want to become the headmaster.

Like the two souls have started to become one.
