I took this test and got this result. I guess I'm a casual or normie despite seeing over hundreds of anime. https://www.allthetests.com/quiz34/quiz/1492390413/Are-you-a-Weeb |
| Some of my favorite writers and poets are Japanese, I read Manga and light novels in Japanese and have translated doujinshi, I watch a lot of tokusatsu programs, collect stuff, and follow Jp message boards, I'd probably call myself 3 or 4 because my other hobbies extend from my strength as an Anime fan. idk where I'd be on OP's scale, the values in his post are basic for MAL but maybe so am I. |

| Yes Im a massive weeb the only way for me to get less normie would be to randomly use japanese in my everyday conversations. so a 3 maybe |

| 6? The only thing I believe in is that sub > dub |
| Normie? Elitist? Maybe 10? Anime for me is just enjoyment. And Im not a fan or something. Actually I dont give a fck dude. |

MayoiYui said: with 1 being the least normie (elitist) and 10 being the most normie im a solid 2 my values below i believe most of the popular / trending anime are certainly overrated i hate dub and sub is way superior i cannot stand pp memeing on those twitter posts and youtube videos without knowing whats going on ex: normies spamming jojo memes without knowing them i hate those poorly edited amvs with pop music playing as bgm and i love to promote quality anime that lacks popularity btw i do not rate anime are you a normie or are you an elitist scale 1 ___3___ 5 __7____ 10 1- hyper elitist 1-3 - elitist 3-5 - assertive anime fan 5 - 7 - casual 7 - 10 - normie idk how the fk that scaling work but we'll see 1. Some popular anime tend to be overrated , yes but also this doesnt apply to everything 2. Apparently i just dislike dub but doesnt hate it for no reason. I dislike it because sometimes what supposed to be said and some joke are missed, not to mention quality 3. idgaf about jojo memes 4. I never really liked AMVs, never. 5. I do not promote anime unless they're asking for my recommendation 6. I rate based on preference, my actual review could be different from my scoring since its based on enjoyment. Casual? yes. |
| I may say I'm 2. ° Mainstream anime is overrated (in general) °Subtitles over dubs, ever °No 3D °Good 3D is when you don't notice it °Sees a harem from nowhere, drop the anime °OP main character without reason, drop. °Fansub = sin [Actually there's one for Haruhi Susumiya, I was quite impressed] Isekai genre = You know this is going to be trash (in general, Konosuba was really good) °Im always complaining about everything, I can't enjoy anime no more :/ |
 Decide once every certain number of years which members of the ruling class will oppress and crush the people in parliament: this is the true essence of bourgeois parliamentarism, not only in the constitutional parliamentary monarchies but in the most democratic republics - The State and Revolution (September 1917), Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov "Lenin". |
| I'm confused. It's like the original post makes elitism an accomplishment...? If the step below casual is normie, does that mean a normie is someone who doesn't watch anime? And then a "casual" watches anime casually or hasn't watched too much anime... but then the confusing part is the only way up the scale is to become an elitist. It's like a scale that goes: 1- white 2- really light blue 3- light blue 4- blue 5- RED Like we went to a whole other scale? I'm just confused. I could see if the scale was asking "How much of an anime fan are you?" And then the scale goes from someone considering themselves to be a "Normie" (someone who has just been introduced to anime or registered for the wrong site) at 1 to "ONE OF THE LEGENDARY FOUR ANIME FAN GODS" (someone who is into and is extremely knowledgeable about various aspects of anime and maybe bases their life around it) at 10 or something. I think I get the idea though? But no matter what, I'd never want to be considered an elitist. "Elitist" usually-- if not always-- has a pretty negative connotation. If this is ACTUALLY a scale of elitism, I'd say I was maybe a 7? I'll crap on people's anime tastes, but it's usually all in good fun. |
| I really just want to see anime tiddie your scale means nothing in the face of as much |
 |
| I'd give myself a hard 6 because I only watch subs, but I don't talk about anime or show that I like anime at all in real life. |

| 6-8 i think. i only watch what's popular, so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |
 |
| Eh, I think I'm in too deep to be called a normie, but I wouldn't say that I'm a elitist either. Somewhere in the middle I guess? |
 |
| I'm like a 6 or 7, I just watch whatever looks interesting, and I don't really go to deep into analyzing shows. |

It's not often that I see someone else with Prism in their faves, or Girl Friends for that matter (and is that Fate/kaleid I see as well?). I'd say you have delightful taste as well o/ |

| probs 5.5 ive seen normie arguments it goes like this "this guy is stronger than this character henceforth the stronger the mc the better the anime" is the arguments what normies use |
 -Just roki roll!!!https://myanimelist.net/profile/Wimp3452 If you click on that you will die |
| I would say I am around a 4. I still like some critically panned shows though I definitely seen a fair amount of series. |

| I fairly believe that I'm average to be honest. I abide the laws, I know how to act properly in the streets. I help those who are in need, I cross in the side walks when I have checked that there's on on-going vehicles. I abide the traffic signs. |
| While I am quite new, only having watched for a couple months, I think I have learned a lot about the popular and higher-rated anime, as well as understanding the memes that come from them. I'll give myself a solid 7. |
| Setting aside how badly labeled that scale is, idk, I'm a bit weird in that I am both more nerdy and less nerdy than most other anime fans. More nerdy in the sense that I've been doing it for a long time and probably have more knowledge about and experience watching anime than most people as well as a pretty big and extensive collection of manga and anime DVDs and BDs (and even some VHS). But also less nerdy in the sense that I never really participated in anime culture aside from being active on this very forum. I don't do waifus, I don't like 99% of memes and don't do those either, I'm not really into japanese or asian pop culture aside from anime and some manga (no games, no VNs, no LNs, no jpop or kpop, no idols, no vocaloids, no multimedia franchises, no japanese live action series, nothing of the sorts), I don't really deep-dive into specific fandoms or individual shows to become an expert on them and really explore them over the course of years, but instead usually move on quickly after finishing an anime because I want to experience the whole medium more than I want to spaz out over individual series, and I also don't really do anime merch aside from the actual dvds and manga volumes for my collection. To me all that stuff doesn't have anything to do with me liking anime. I like animation and I like storytelling, hence why I like anime. I'm in it because it's a huge and historically rich animation medium, not because it's japanese or part of japanese pop culture, which is how it feels like with a lot of people who have no interest in any non-japanese animation and spent half their time on non-anime japanese media. So a lot of the people in the community are 'too nerdy' for me in the sense that 80% or more of what they care about regarding to 'anime' in the widest sense is stuff I have no interest in, don't want to talk or hear about and generally couldn't care less for. And vice versa because most people don't have a holistic perspective of the medium like I do and, understandable, prefer to focus on the bits of the medium that immediately appeal to them and nerding about them individually while avoiding the rest or at least not really having any interest in it so they don't know what to make of someone who cares more about experiencing and learning about the medium as a whole than about even his favorite individual shows. This includes most people having some genres they hate and some they love while I watch almost anything and have favorites from all kinds of genres so I don't like people shitting on most stuff because chances are I like some of it, but also most people's lack of interest or even acknowledgement and knowledge about pre-2000 anime specifically and anime history and creators (directors, animators, composers, background artists etc..) in general, as well as in independent shorts and any other japanese animation that isn't part of the mainstream 'industry'. The only times shorts somewhat catch on with the larger community is if they are just pandering to industry fans betraying their independent spirit (Shelter) or the community sees meme material in them (Nami, Shitcom etc...). At the same time for every field of interest I have in anime, there will be experts who know way more than I do. I'm really more of a jack of all trades, master of none, and I like it like that because I like the variety. But most people are either casuals with lower interest levels in general, or people who got really nerdy about one particular area of anime so there aren't many people similar to me, at least in my experience. So yeah, people are both too nerdy for me and I'm too nerdy for them to really get along with the majority of people in this community. But that's okay. |

| Ehhhh, i'm a 5. I have pretty defined taste and I have watched Legend of The Galactic Heroes, but there are still many Classic i still have to watch. Pullman really pulled words out of my mouth. |
| For me ima say maybe a 5, cuz im watching always some seasonal series and i dont spend time watching anime without at least a 7 score no matter if underrrated... |

So yeah, people are both too nerdy for me and I'm too nerdy for them to really get along with the majority of people in this community. But that's okay. Never really had an urge to buy blu rays, DVDs, mangas, figures, doing cosplays etc. I only like to watch and discuss (sometimes i love it more than watching XD) anime. Nothing more than that. Its true that anime is the best thing ever happened to me until now and all my free time is spent on watching it but i never had an interest in doing otaku-like things. Same with the waifus. I dont really like making waifus but i do call Senjougahara Hitagi waifu sometimes to show my affection towards her and how much i appreciate her as a character. When it comes to liking and disliking anime, i never look down on someone for his tastes. Sure, i hate many anime and i also write very bad things bout them, for example, i absolutely abhor End Of Evangelion (tv series was perfect though), but if a person likes it then its absolutely fine to me. But i've not touched many genres. Most of the anime i've watched are battle shounens, harems and SOL romances. So there are lots of things to explore for me and who knows, my preferces and the way i see things might change in the future? |

| I am very assertive but don't watch that much of anime, so I will put myself on 5 so I won't feel that bad with myself |
I . A M . D E A D ! C O N T I N U E ? INSERT COIN |
If i start at 5: -1 Because i do believe that mainstream anime are overrated and i rated most of them lower than their overall score. -1 Of course i prefer subs over dubs to get all the context. And i feel dubs sounds weird(Never actually watch anything in dubs btw). +1 I'm not that picky to watch something because sometimes i can watch some of the mainstream stuff and still like them. -1 The most important thing: Popular ≠ Good *So maybe i'll put myself as 3 on the scale. |
| I'd say that scale sucks donkey dick. As if the only way to go beyond being a casual fan was to be an elitist asshole. What a shitty narrative that is... |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Around 5. A lot of popular anime don't hit the same notes with me, I prefer sub over dub but don't hate dub. I'm guilty of memeing myself but don't watch AMVs unless I'm asked to. I enjoy rating anime and by participating in stuff like hiscore I can promote anime I liked which aren't all that well known. |
 |
| I don't understand the scale but most probably somewhere between casual to normie with sudden spikes of elitism around a few things I can't stand. |
