What's a "normie? Is it synonymous to casual, or does it also indicate receptivity levels towards anime in some way or another? Please guide me: Out of the Top 10 Anime Series on MAL, I was only able to complete four: -FMAB -Steins;Gate -Hunter x Hunter -LoGH Accordingly, Top 20 Anime Series of the same ranking will only add two: -Steins;Gate Zero (airing) -Spirited Away However, Top Anime by Popularity gave me a total of thirteen counts: What I did NOT watch / I dropped: -One Punch Man -Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch -No Game No Life -Toradora -Noragami -SAO II -Boku no Hero Academia My question now is, does this indicate my greater affinity towards being a "normie", since I would assume that casual viewers have at least completed half of the most popular (subjectively) anime out there who also has generous access to the Internet and MAL. Honestly, I have never succumbed to the idea that I'm a "better anime fan" among others. I definitely don't own any kind of merchandise, nor have I attended any kind of gathering or conventions which cater towards anime fans. I have one issue of Shonen Jump 2005, lots of YGO cards, and that's it. I never joined a fandom of sort, nor have I watched dubbed anime except a few from my local language. It seems like an assessment of "normie-ness" would be difficult for me without any kind of concrete and concise set of criteria. As for personal evaluation, between casual "fan" or a "viewer", I'm inclined to say it's the latter, despite having already completed 200 or so anime entries. I won't consider and reconsider elitism and the likes. When others attribute it as a "mentality", I would go deeper and assume it as a mechanism and instrumentality. Thus, it is not a valid categorization for me in regards to the context being administered from this particular thread/topic. Ciao. |

| i hate dubs i also love to promote quality anime that don't have the recognition they deserve and i think that a lot of popular anime these days are overrated |

| 3 in my case I believe. I only watch the best rated shows each season + related anime to things I have watched. I usually dislike popular shows because they are full of pandering and "animeisms", but if I genuinely enjoy them I won't lie. I really do not discriminate any show (except ecchis and harems) I only consider watching dubs if there are no subs anywhere. Don't really hate dubs, some shows may even benefit with a more western feel from a english dub, but I honestly do not care to compare. Hate overused anime memez, but I do joke around sometimes too. I hate it when people use "animeisms" and use japanese randomly in their speech. Hate waifu culture. Only watch AMVs at some anime convention's AMV competitions where they are of good quality anyway. I also watch anime because I want to challenge myself with new thoughts and ideas. Which is why I adore some mature shows but absolutely hate some of the same old shit that comes every season (hence, why I only watch the best rated seasonal anime). I also plan my watching and ratings systematically. |

| hum I'd say between 2-3 but that depends what you think is a "normie". people have different deffinitions of the word. my desire to keep exploring the anime world and discover obscure (good ofc) animes is definitely a 9/10, that makes me more or less of a normie? well, people have different definition so can't be sure. |
| why does 10 makes you an elistist? I don't get it also i'm 7 |
Umi_Koku said: No clear number, but definitely leaning towards the lower end. I feel like a better way of rating normie is based on your average rating score. Someone with an average score of 8 or 9 def feel like a normie to me while someone with an average score of 7 ish feels more like the middle ground and people with sub 5 average score would def be elitist. hum this happens to often be a valuable information BUT it can't be reliable because -some people rate shows they drop and some don't -everybody doesn't have the same definition of a 8/10, my 8 may be your 9 or your 6, but I realise that's exactly what you're talking about so, idk. but i can tell you that for some people 4, or 3 doesn't mean a show is bad. |
CHAMPIONOFDEATH said: Ah yes, the classic normie vs elitist thread. I probably will always be somewhere in the middle. but as time passes you become more and more of an elitist. that's an end we're all destined to meet, exept if you stop watching animes. |
Kerylon said: I think it would be biased to decide that for myself. Just look at my profile and score it, I guess? I give you a 5 many of the anime on your favorites are unknown to normie your rating is reasonable with 5 being the average and you dont seem to be self absorbing |
Arkab said: Some of them are overrated to me too, but I also think some others are underrated. Not all dubs are bad, a lot of them are pretty good, and most of the time I'll prefer the dub, especially for popular shows. femmelesbian said: 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 just dgaf about this behavior. I hate them too. I like promoting what I liked, popular or not, highly regarded by others or not... I don't know, so please help me answering this, how do I fare according to you? I'm very curious to know. you are NOT a normie based on your mindset and profile youre a traditionalist viewer your favorites are old school Id give you a 5 out of 10 |
only watch anime that are popular(heavily discussed, commonly recognized, known through memes) memeing anime but in a bad way (wrong usage, cringy) spamming emoji over youtube videos and not willing to submit to reasonable critiques sometimes do not understand the deeper jokes of anime prefer dub over sub; blindly quoting from anime without knowing the meaning telling whatever anime they watch is either lit or poop skipping op and ed; not knowing the originalty of the anime these adding up altogether makes you a super normie |

yes I cannot stand dub not because its bad but I feel disrespectful to replace their voice the original actors/actresses' voice are their skills and effort you just dont take away them you dont see a lot of dubbed movies it works the same way in anime to me |

PhoenixBC said: Pretty sure anyone who has a mal isn't normal you ARE half a normie but a decent one your taste puts you inbetween the normie zone and elitist zone Id give you a 5 out of 10 it might be biased but I consider JoJo as the epitome of normie anime |
PhoenixBC said: Pretty sure anyone who has a mal isn't normal true anyone who uses mal reddit or having accounts on other forums or twitch automatically -3 on their norminess |
| th Daisetsu-Kun said: I'm somewhere in between, I mean I'm neither an elitist nor a casual then youre probably a 5 anything goes beyond 7 makes one a normie over 9 youre a super normie who doesnt even know mal and crunchyroll exists |
Kuromii said: I think all dubs sound like shit and won't watch them. I archive anime. I fansub. I think people who stream are plebs. I like honorifics in my subs, but equally won't have an autistic meltdown if they aren't present. People who like/use western name order for Japanese/Asian characters have an extra chromosome or three. One of the spare rooms in my house is my dedicated anime room. However, I also socialise, work full time, and lead a pretty normal life in general, so I'm not a full blown degenerate anime fan (yet). I give you 2 or maybe 3 never stream anime as well and I do appreciate fansubbers |

aaaaaaaaaaah said: femmelesbian said: only watch anime that are popular(heavily discussed, commonly recognized, known through memes) That doesn't matter for me, i only watch anime that i think that i will like based on what it is. The only thing close to this i do, is posting ecchi stuff or cropped hentai in random channels in random discord servers just to see the reaction. femmelesbian said: spamming emoji over youtube videos and not willing to submit to reasonable critiques I prefer not to comment, but when i do i just state my opinion. What deeper jokes? It's all surface level, and if i don't get a joke it's because of the number of animes i have watched. I prefer sub, but i do not see anything wrong with dubs. Just i like it when they scream "ONIIIIIIIIII-CHAAAAAAAN" at 100% volume. All anime has it's own appeal and target demographic, so i don't mind if someone enjoys anime that i hate, or someone that hates an anime that i enjoy. It's just personal preference. I never skip the op, but i sometimes skip the ed because of time limitations, but i always check if there is a scene after the ed just in case. This combined with my lack of experience what does that make me? I give you 3.9 by saying deeper jokes I mean something thats cultural or has reference to pop culture |
| 5,5, I'm just your average anime fan. And btw, I don't think that someone with a MAL account can be a normie. |

femmelesbian said: with 1 being the least normie (elitist) and 10 being the most normie im a solid 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 I don't care much about what is considered to be populer or not. Dubs can be good. It depends. The ones done for Ghibli movies are actually very good and I do love the dub of both "Howl's Movin Castle" and "The Cat Returns" but generally I stick with subs. I am a vidder so I have very high standards when it comes to fanvids and most AMVs on YouTube are really bad.

It would be a similar case for people that have an average around a 3 too. Other than being an edgy elitist, who else would spend their time watching only bad anime... You have to be really unlucky to not find any anime that suits your taste |

I watch complete garbage like Island (so moronic that entertains me) and even worst just that I dont score them high. Ok I agree that someone with a score range of around 4-7 is more of a realist, not an elitist. But I do think someone with a score sub 4 are definitely elitist. I mean, how edgy do you have to be to force yourself to watch bad anime or claim every anime is trash yet still watch it. |

On the scale of elitist to normie, I think someone who is less of a normie would be somewhat critical about the show they watched and wouldn't simply give everything they watch a high rating. |

| I'm for sure a 9 lililililiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii |
| I can't watch any dubs besides DBZ. I find shounens to be entertaining. I refuse to own any physical items related to anime. Anyone who talks about a "waifu" unironically is a degenerate. Anyone who reads doujins is also a degenerate. Anyone who enjoys "moe" Anime is a freak. Jojo is trash. Where does this put me |
| I'm probably about a 4-5. I watch a lot of the mainstream stuff and even enjoy it to an extent, but it's rarely my favorites. That being said, even most of my absolute favorite series aren't ones you need to really go out of your way to have heard of if you're part of the anime community. I don't tend to buy figurines since they cost so much and I'm not interested in spending that much on decorations, but I'll buy posters and blu-rays, plus I buy manga and light novels of series I like. |
| You have shit taste, and then I have taste so shit it makes your taste look good |
| I don't see how elitist is opposite of normie, but w/e. I don't watch dubs, love CDGCT anime, have anime wallpapers on all my devices and don't have social life. On the other hand I didn't enjoy most classics and don't like Ghilbi movies. I also don't have a "waifu". So something like 3-4? |

Used to really love 'em but the saturation ruined it for me. and i love to promote quality anime that lacks popularity You and me both btw i do not rate anime I do, but for myself as I enjoy recommending and rating things. |

Not sure whether that counts as neutral or opposite, since I also don't "meme correctly". Let's say neutral. 0 > spamming emoji over youtube videos and not willing to submit to reasonable critiques I also basically hate emoji, and I rarely ever comment on youtube (I even browse youtube without a login). "Not willing to submit to reasonable critiques" is sort of vague; I would say I do, though I do hold fast to my opinions on things. 0 > sometimes do not understand the deeper jokes of anime Considering that Lucky Star and Excel Saga basically fall flat on me, very yes. Anime comedy/humor tends to be hit-or-miss for me anyway; anime fandom memes are just things I regard as often cringy anyway. Except the ones with snazzy music attached to them. Which almost exclusively come from Japanese fans, incidentally. anyway, +2. > prefer dub over sub; blindly quoting from anime without knowing the meaning I choose dub over sub where I can, in most cases. I do like to ponder pieces of an anime without proper context, if they interest me, but I don't quote or otherwise present them to other people. +1, or +2 if I'm being generous. > telling whatever anime they watch is either lit or poop Does this refer to extreme reactions to things? If so, I basically have none of this. -2 > skipping op and ed; not knowing the originalty of the anime I insistently watch/listen to the OP/ED (in most cases) and complain when the local club skips them. Not sure what "originalty" means; if it means that insisting that anime series are derivative rather than distinctive, then I guess that's the opposite of me; if it means knowing where stuff came from, then that kinda fits me. Distinctiveness is not an argument I see many hardcore fans making, so I'll presume it's the latter. +0 Final score: from a scale of -14 to +14, my final score is about 0. looks like i'm a pile of meh lol edit: oops the scale was 1-10 so I guess i'm a 5.5 |
