| If they're on MAL I'd say 100+ If they're not following meticulously probably under 100. |
| I'd say roughly about 30-75 anime shows including the mainstream/popular shows. |
| Between 26-50 I'd say but that's just a random guess |
 _______I like rocks__  |
| +500 must be easy for an average anime fan. |

| i think it would be around 100-150 anime |
| ¯\_(ใ)_/¯ |
|
| Honestly I'd say around 5-40. I've met a bunch of anime fans who've only watched some big shounen titles or they watched a few magical girl shows as a kid and call themselves anime fans. |
 |
| If we're excluding mal like you said, probably like 25-50? If mal is included, I would easily say 100+ though |
 ManWild |
| My guess is...atleast 50 - 100. Also having a MAL account means you are an anime fan. |
| 51-100 if you are talking about entries, 15-20 if you are talking about anime |
| imma base this off of an average mal users completed anime count 151-200 anime 201+ and for people outside mal probably 100+ ig? |
| It really depends on how you define anime fan. All of us MAL user are anime fans, and the average is probably greater than 100 anime. If you mean what people refer to as "casuals" then a realistic number would be 25-50 anime. |
| I sometimes forget to finish my sentences. |
| Everybody: ah, less than 50. Also everybody here: has hundreds of completed series listed in their MAL. |
 |
| +1000 to be a true anime fan. Trust me. |
| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. ๆฅๆฌ I believe in freedom of expression. |
| The generic fan has probably "seen" between upwards to 80 anime, but has probably only completed half that amount, because lots of people see anime on TV as a kid, but don't see every episode. |
 |
| About 100. If by "average fan" you mean people that watch anime regularly and have it as a main interest for exploration or hobby, it sounds quite fair to me. |
| I have been watching anime for 9 years now. And I have 134 days in Anime. Am I considered an average fan? |
| nani7020 :] |
| lmao, i thought it was 200 plus ep. id say around 69 |
     |
| maybe I'm the only user who came up with some level of logical thinking. here's my theory: an average anime fan would watch at least 1 anime every season. so in a year, they's watch 4. and huge anime like aot has been going for about 5 years or so (probably). so 4 anime a year, for 5 years translates into 20 anime-ish. and if they sometimes watch 2 anime a season for let's say there's a sequel he wanted to watch (cause popular anime that average people watched usually have a sequel), that'd make about 25+ anime. |
| if you want good story, read novel. if you want good graphic, read manga. anime is beyond that. |
| I believe that the average anime fan doesn't actually watch that much anime. MAL users are in the minority. So, I went with the smallest option because I think most anime fans watch anime very casually |
 |
| At least 26-50. Most fans watch a lot of mainstream stuff and stop there |
| IDK I watched more than 100 and consider myself an average fan but I picked 51-100 anime options, I think less than that just beginner to anime. |
| I've only completed 8 shows in total (currently catching up on 2 other ones) and seen a handful of films, so I chose the first option. |
| 10 or so: 5 seasons of BnHA, 4 of SnK, JJK, DS, OPM. Sounds about right. |
on 
| There's not really a set number. However, I think an anime fan that's using a tracking site like MAL has probably watched or will watch more anime than someone who doesn't use one. |
| probs 50 and less at most since I guess the avg fan watches the main stream shows like I know a guy who watched one piece 3 times and it's the only anime he watched. |
| WATCHED does not equal COMPLETE So you can watch lots of different anime and only one or two episodes apiece. Completion I think is much lower, and I do not believe most people actually complete those which they mark complete in their lists. Especially not series with 26+ episodes. Most casual fans probably only watch a handful per year, mostly reruns of Naruto or Pokemon and those who stream probably stream no more than 2 or 3 per season. |
| Maybe around 50 or less since the average fan mainly watches big names like KnY or Aot. Nothing much when it comes to the non mainstream. |
| Average anime fan should at least watch half as much as I have.. |
 |
| If we only count "completed" anime, and exclude short OVAs / specials and other anime with short overall duration, then my wild guess would be 25-75 anime or so. |
samashi20 said: It really depends on how you define anime fan. All of us MAL user are anime fans, and the average is probably greater than 100 anime. If you mean what people refer to as "casuals" then a realistic number would be 25-50 anime. My thoughts exactly. It's hard to define "average anime fan". Are we talking about casual anime enjoyer, or maybe more devoted fan, or perhaps somebody who is active in anime fans communities over the Internet (like on MAL) or in the real world? I say that the realistic amount of Japanese animated shows that "average anime fan" could've watched oscillates in the range of 26-50 anime titles. |

_Mataga_ said: Oye! That's a bit steep. If that's the rule then 95% of this community aren't fans. I think 100 anime and 50 days is fair.You are not an anime fan if you haven't watched 1000 anime with 360+ days of watching experience. |
My candies:        +1 bonus candy (character limit) |
| I think its from 51-100 Cuz mine was also in that same range before i joined mal |
 |
| You didn't specify a period of time. So in a year, an average anime fan, should watch 20+ or 30 shows. |
| i don't think there's a number... maybe around 50. if the person got into anime world during their adult life it could be difficult to keep up with high numbers. |
 |
| I mean, there's "watching anime" and then there's "anime fan". a fan makes me think of 50-100 anime |
can't yuck my yum  |
| There is no set numbers, everyone should just watch anime for enjoyment and not to rack up numbers |
| 50 seems below average for a fan, whereas 100 seems above average, so I guess 51-100 different anime. |
