| Arg I love and hate how popular Anime has gotten in the mainstream in recent years. I love it because I remember the days when watching anime was taboo and made you look weird in regular society in the USA but now it is pretty acceptable.... hell even cool now to be an anime fan. But I also hate how bad some of these fan bases have gotten especially since a lot of these people who ruin these communities are casual scrubs in my eyes, I'm not going to say I am some sort of an elitist when it comes to anime but I am just curious how some other people feel about this topic. I love Shounen anime cause that was nasically my gateway in but most of them have terrible fan bases (I honestly think Dragon Ball has the worst fan base and why? Goku fan boys nuff said) |

 |
| Darling in the FranXX hands fucking down. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I'd say Berserk and Darling in the FranXX. But then again, the Darling in the FranXX fanbase at least made me laugh my ass off thanks to the amount of salt it produced over Ichigo. |

Tsuchisa said: So far, Darling in the Franxx has the worst fan base. Ha yea that was a beautiful up roar that fan base had a few weeks back. But I do not think they are as consistently annoying on a daily basis in my eyes atleast |
| I don't know which fanbase is the worst but currently Darling in the FranXX fanbase is really toxic. See sending various threats to the creators and even voice actors. |
| I dont want to group a whole fan base together, especially because most fans of every series are fine. I will say though, I've seen quite a few people with the attitude of "if you didn't like steins gate, it was just over your head." Again, a vast majority of steins gate fans are good, I'm not trying to rip on it or their fans |
| I woud say the SAO coummity/fanbase when it comes toa group called KAC that exist on facebook. It have a bunch of SAO fan and everytime someone say the anime sucks beacuse.... The saofanbase can't argument against it so they start trash talk you. Then EVA commuty can be a bit cancerus but they are always on point and can stand up for the anime. As alot of another ppl can't |
 |
| Is all anime in general an acceptable answer. |
I'm a shitposter for fun |
| Re:Zero and Darling in the Franxx are the obvious answers here. I'll also add that I've noticed that a lot of the popular shonen shows tend to have the more toxic fanbases. I'm sure there are exceptions to that but that does seem to be a rule of thumb. |
| definitely any anime with lolis if you are not one of them your opinion doesnt matter it's a scary place |
| https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_49H_N43jQ #MakeAnimeGreatAgain SAY NO MORE LOLI! BRING MORE GENRES EVERY SEASON THAN JUST LOLI |
Kiibean said: Strange picks, I know: Pingu in the City fanbase, most of them didn't even fuckin watch it :/ If that doesn't count, the Pokemon animes fanbase is shit. The show gets better animation and everyone complains? Like I don't watch Pokemon anymore, but it's just everywhere "haha funny screenshot of Ash's fucked up face, aren't I the pinnacle of comedy?". lmao yea I agree with Pokemon like especially all the gen 1ers who complain about no Brock and Misty still but yet it seems like they just still continue to watch it just to talk shit about it |
| The most recent example would be obviously Darling in the Franxx, even if it has been mentioned already. |
 |
| Ikkitousen, 'cause it's just me. ...Or maybe it's the best because I'm the only one who likes it... |
 |
| +1 to darling in the franxx. It's appropriate that one of the worst anime has the worst fan base to go with it (∗´꒳`) Jk i dropped it after episode 1, i'm sure it's not that bad XD |
| Maybe BnH. That PLUS ULTRA so freakin me out. |
 兵家 "Green how I want you green. Green wind. Green branches." |
| After reading so many salty foreign tweets, English, German, Chinese, Italian etc., Darling in the Franxx so far. |
 |
| The Eiken fanbase is full of psuedo-intellectual elitists who grasp for symbolism that isn't there and look down on all other forms of entertainment |
 |
| Very unpopular opinion, but IMO it's My Hero Academia. The anime itself is good, but the fanbase overreacting with anything related to it made me sick of it. |
| “They call certain methods of fighting good and others evil, acting as if there were some nobility to the battlefield. Such illusions, perpetrated by heroes throughout history, have led countless young men to their bloody deaths, all for the sake of this valor and glory.” ~Kiritsugu Emiya |
| Pretentious Eva fan base. People saying Darling in the FRANXX, but I feel like that's only cause it's what's hot right now, the hype will die once it's finished, just like with many other shows. |
 |
| I'm pretty sure i already answered this question this week OP, but thank you for asking again. |
 |
| All. People take their anime so seriously you get death threats if you don't love their favourite anime as much as them. They treat their anime as an extension of themselves and an insult to their anime is an insult to them. |
| darling in the franxx because of ichigo incident, somehow clannad fans also irritate me sometimes (although i like clannad) because some act like clannad:as is the only thing that will ever make u cry Kiibean said: i mean, you really thought they were serious? thats even funnier for obviously everyone elseStrange picks, I know: Pingu in the City fanbase, most of them didn't even fuckin watch it :/ |
 still life: pink roses |
| Darling in the Franxx has a good fan base wtf? I know many of them who have read Hegel. On topic, legends of the galactic heroes and texhnolyze. Fucking plebs. |
| Gonna go with the fans of Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai. They're all like "It was so touching," or "it had such beautiful sentiment." "It really made me appreciate life." "The ghost made me cry." All while somehow not realizing it was authored by someone with the hammiest fists and a sub-Forest Gump level IQ. |
| How has no one mentioned Fate? They are the most obnoxious fanbase by miles. |

Ash's goal was to catch all the pokemon and to win the league and he did neither in over 200 episodes. All the episodes were almost identical it was so boring. It's like these people only watched the first 8 episodes or they forgot about the rest because that season was actually terrible. Gen 7 is so much better in every way possible both in the game and the anime, but these idiots keep saying gen 1 is the only good pokemon. No, it was good as a kid since we had almost no standard before, but actually it's completely awful. |
| -Gintama fanbase -Any dark and edgy shounen fanbase(Fma(2003) ,HxH,Shingekin,those ones seem to genuinely believe that they're not watching a shounen for some reason beyond my human compression) -Fate fanbase(By far the most fanboy fanbase that I've seen in my life,those dudes seem to have a boner with everything that have fate on its name) -Legend of galactic heroes fanbase. -Texhnolyze Fanbase. |
| Any anime fanbase that sends death threats to mangaka, staffs, etc just because of petty reasons, as if they're the owners of the characters in the series. They're the real cancer to the community --- give people an impression of anime fans being aggressive, uncool, immature. Fucking plebs. Fanboyism is okay, because that's normal ffs. |
| All these people saying Darling in the FranXX are making me really glad that I'm not up to date with the show. I suppose falling behind sometimes has its benefits. OT: I'm not saying it's the worst fandom, but Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler has had its share of cancerous fujoshi who give the show a bad rep. I've been trying to fight that rep, but... sometimes I wonder if I'm getting anywhere. Also people who complain after Death Note episode 25 (Should I call them first-part Death Note purists?). It's fair if you thought the second part was sub-par, but I've heard so many people complain so much about it, it's gotten really old, really fast. |

| One Piece. They really think One Piece is the GOAT manga. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Most (if not all) shonen series, and Darling In the FranXX |
| The Hunter x Hunter (2011) one, its fanbase never fails to be very irritating, you just can't hold any type of discussion with them, for them the show is this kind of immaculate production that can't be compared to anything else, that can't be object of any type of criticism, a show that is absolutely impossible for any human being to dislike whatsoever, and if you do....you are just an immature, ignorant, shit-taste hater. I mean...just look the reviews section of this site....EVERY time a review of the show with an overall score under 7 that speaks negatively about it to some degree pops-up, the fans never fail to make sure the criminal user who dared to make that (obviously shitty) review receives this landslide of hostile comments in his/her profile. And also...don't you dare to claim that you found the first version (1999) to be better, you will be immediately tagged as an ignorant nostalfag and they will make sure you pay with your soul for saying that unforgivable blasphemy. |
SoldierDreamMay 15, 2018 7:14 PM
| So many people saying Darling in the Franxx. I think I ll get it from my on hold list and watch it finally. Usually I love anime with a toxic fan base like Sword Art Online, Naruto and Evangelion. |

So true, every time I say something negative about that show or even just by pointing out that it's not a seinen, there's always at least one person calling me a retard or other insults. It's a good thing that I don't care, but it's still really annoying. I'm a huge One Piece fan, but I never insulted anyone because he disliked One Piece. I think that if you like a show, you should accept the show for what it is and that not everyone is going to like it as much as you. |
| Pretty sure this thread is going to get deleted soon, but I guess I'll chime in. Just a disclaimer that most of these are rumors that I hear about. I don't really like generalizing fanbases, but lets begin. I also would like to point out that I like most, if not all of the anime listed below, just to emphasize that I don't come from a hating perspective and that it's not the anime that's elitist/pretentious, but the fanbase that is. Tokyo Ghoul - (This one comes from experience) Yeah, this one is obviously a shitstorm. Manga elitists vs clueless anime-onlies constantly arguing and pointing fingers at each other. There is also that group of fujoshis that threatened Ishida just because he broke one of their ships. Berserk - (Again, experience) Ever since the 2016/17 animes, this one was always a shitstorm. Elitists all over the damn place as well. NGE, LOGH, Cowboy Bebop - I keep hearing that these are known for having elitists. DitF - This one should be obvious Re:Zero - this one should also be obvious Fate - (Again, from experience) This one is also filled with fanboys who can't really take criticism. Also, anime vs VN debates that I have seen on reddit and this site are pretty damn cancer, NGL. TMoHS - Haruhiism. Heard some horror stories... Gintama - can't take criticism. Also pulls out the score card a lot. OPM - Constantly arguing with the DBZ community on who is stronger, as if it were a pissing contest. DBZ - refer to OPM, but now add Superman vs Goku into the mix and you have a debate that people are STILL arguing about even to this day Yu-Gi-Oh - Was always a shitstorm ever since ZEXAL (maybe even 5D's). Filled with "nostalgiafags" (which was thrown a lot while I was part of it) who constantly bash anyone who likes the seasons after Duel Monsters. SAO - here you have the biggest fanboying in the world vs the biggest hate train in the world. Unstoppable force vs Immovable object Naruto - "Who would win" debates are a special type of cancer in any shounen fanbase BNHA - (This one not as much) Wow, people get pretty defensive when they hear criticism towards the anime. Just go on any review that scores it less than a 5 and you'll see hoards of fans attacking the person who wrote the review. |

| Tokyo Ghoul and Attack on Titan imo. |
Though we are parted, If on Mount Inaba's peak I should hear the sound Of the pine trees growing there, I'll come back again to you. |
| Hate threads are overrated , tired of it. |
| My answer is always Kyo Kara Maoh. Takabayashi Tomo needs to take a few lessons from Ishidia Sui on how not to be a complete wimp or maybe she was just writing all her creepy fantasies all along like the fans suggest and her interviews were nothing more than lies. |
| Love Live! Fanbases is the worst.. The worst part of it is because I'm one of them, and ironically enjoyed being a part of it. |
 I'm starting to get embarrassed by my own forum signature line.. XD |
Manaban said: I don't think they are as bad as the Mayoiga fanbase, though. That's elitism as its finest.The Eiken fanbase is full of psuedo-intellectual elitists who grasp for symbolism that isn't there and look down on all other forms of entertainment |
