I don't see a correlation, but people who have watched more anime are usually more introverted.

Correlation does not equal causation. Although, I believe people to have good taste in anime to have high iq, although I have no supporting evidence.

I completely agree.
These low IQ monkeys are destroying anime as we know it.
There needs to be an IQ measuring device before you can watch anime.

It's all about being a fan of LOGH and Yuasa, the rest is irrelevant. But yes, there is a factual correlation between that and superior intelligence.
I probably regret this post by now.

a posible way to prove this is to design an experiment when you contrast the IQ of anime watchers, with people that does not watch anime. Or you could contrast the IQ with the amount of anime that people watch and see if theres any correlation between them.
My hypothesis is: definitely not... but will be a nice social experiment

ignoring the obvious irony in the original post... the only correlation I can think of is that a stereotype of anime watchers is that they are not very sociable and are usually introverted. introverted people tend to be more pensive and spend more time with mental activities as opposed to physical activities - which would usually be connected with a higher IQ.

But in no way does anime itself make you smarter

Yes, anime makes you smarter.
Someone should do a study and compare real anime watchers (more than 300 completed anime) against regular people who watch TV.

Most people I know who watched anime in highschool including me went on to study science, economics, business and law, medicine, psychology, computer science and network engineering.

From online experience the MAL community is stupid compared to www.physicsforums.com & http://www.thescienceforum.com/ for example. Although there's more high IQ's here than in gaming and drug forums.

In conclusion based on my own subjective experience, the median IQ is above average for anime watchers with the important distinction from cartoons.

Yes people who watches anime has initially high IQ, however by watching anime too often one's intelligence would be hampered, resulting in reduced IQ points. By the end of the day people who watched too much anime would ended up lower than average points of population. An overextended exposure to the medium would result in increased chance of developing mental sickness called weaboonitis (weaboo-inflammation) that would caused victim to develop a strong allergy against their own cultures and a delusional wanton of Japanese paraphernalia.

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.

Something like that could be PLAUSIBLE, but there's certainly no direct link. You have idiots and intellectuals in basically every medium, there's not really one thing that attracts smarter people.

If you think there is and especially since there's little evidence to support your claims, it's likely just arrogance on your part.

Yeah, only the smart kids watch the cool shows. The dumb kids are usually close minded, and won't even think of try anything they are not familiar with.
