This is quality trolling, or at least I hope it is.
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

maybe intelligence people are naturally attracted to anime?

what do u think? is intelligence tied to liking anime? could there be a Relationship between the 2 thing?


You are standing proof of why there is an inverse correlation between liking anime and IQ.

Um...
Uh...
no.

Actually I feel like there's a stereotype that people who watch anime are less smart than people who don't. But maybe that's just me.
I would say, however, that from my experience, fans of anime tend to be pretty free-thinking and independent-minded, seeing as they're attracted to a form of media that isn't heavily promoted or followed in the West.

There's probably a relationship between high IQ and people who go on forums to talk about anime, but that's because the kind of knowledge we use to stand out on forums is useful on IQ tests. Also, appreciation of stories on a symbolic level.

Maybe a correlation between high IQ and liking GOOD quality shows.
But that won't always work, I know smart people who like shit, because they turn their brain off when they watch stuff.

What an amusing post. Thanks for entertaining us.

Well, if you are smart that doesn't mean anything you like is be related to your intelligence.

If there is ANY correlation, it would only be because anime, outside of the more mainstream stuff, generally sits outside of what most people would watch. So for someone to the west to watch it and enjoy it beyond the mainstream they would have to have actively gone looking for it.
Along with the indoor/antisocial tendencies mentioned earlier, this is what I would say causes the correlation. More intelligent individuals are more likely to seek out strange and unusual stimuli, and foreign media that often require subtitle reading and sometimes a little cultural understanding to get the most out of them fit that bill.

Of course, anime also attracts a disproportionate share of autists and spergers, and I still haven't found a good explanation for that...

No but autistic people are more prone to being anime fans and often autistic people possess extreme talent. Unfortunately not all of them possess this talent, for example the OP of this thread.
My cousin is on the autism spectrum, So don't be a dick and compare him to this guy, who doesn't have the faintest idea of what he's talking about. Why has autism become a popularized term to insult people? It's disgusting to use this term to insult people who have real issues that they need overcome.

I definitely see a correlation, because I know I'm veeery smart and I have watched thousands(or like a thousand) of animes (during the last 7 years spent in my moms basement). And I liked most of them, that's why I watched more and more, because I'm smart and smart people need a lot of anime.

It's based on what anime you are delving into. If you're really getting a good vibes just from watching a handful of DBZ and Clannad all day long (maybe 3x a day), you are probably just seeking anime for enjoyment purposes or emotional resonance.

Do not mind what the others say about your grammar, as grammar is not an attribute of intelligence (in a practical sense). Meanwhile, intelligence is a very vague term and requires a lot of etymology and hermeneutics to understand its nature, so it's wise not to compare or associate it with anything UNLESS you have a profound understanding of it.

As for correlation, I'm glad that you have rated Ergo Proxy as 10, though there are numerous claims that suggests its incompetency to produce something genuinely intellectual, and is just being desperate for trying to be one, I really respect those people that can understand and appreciate this "gateway show".

(Ignoring the fact that this is likely bait) There's probably an indirect correlation.

-Anime is popular among introverts
-Introverts are underrepresented in the general population (25%) but overrepresented in the gifted population (75%)

So you could argue that a lot of 'smarter' people watch anime, because introverts are generally smarter.

LOL! No. Also, LOL at people who think if you like certain anime it means you are intelligent. No man. Not at all. People that like Pupa by no mean has lower IQ than people who like FMA, LoGH, Ping Pong or whatever anime highly rated by elitist. Grow up you immature weaboos. Seeking superiority or comparing who is more intelligent through what anime you like is just plain stupid. Such stupidity pretty much justify why anime fans are being look down. Anime is just entertainment not something intelligence.

And no need to bring introvert into this.Those smart introvert prefer to be alone with their invention/research while other self proclaim introvert like anime fan just want to ride the glory achieve by other introverts when the truth is weaboos are just socially awkward and not being innovative/smart. Two totally different thing.

This thread is just a troll thread anyway.

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

I don't think there is any direct correlation between IQ and likability towards anime. I guess anime can serve as a foundation, but definitely not as a catalyst for a higher IQ. For example, I'm dumb asf, but I like anime. I find that the more critical people tend to be smarter. D: I wouldn't know, I'm dumb after all xD
