A fake anime watcher claims they saw every episode of anime x but they never seen a single episode.

I think you're trying to ask what is a casual. Or shitposting.

What. I haven't encountered one yet.

but i guess its if they act like they know the anime except
they don't actually watch it?

"What's naruto's last name?"
"Shippuden"

I'll agree with what someone posted before if you only watch or series like One piece and Naruto and nothing else. I have a friend at work who talks about watching anime and liking anime so we talked about what he watches and he said One Piece and Naruto XD I about died. I've recommended great anime to watch but they only enjoy watching One piece. That to me is a fake anime watcher.

If you don't actually watch anime you're not a real anime watcher.

Shocking, right?
I probably regret this post by now.

If you watch anime, you're an anime watcher.
If you don't watch anime, you're not an anime watcher.

I hope it isn't too shocking for you.

I suppose a real anime watcher is a verified flesh and blood human who occasinally watch anime while a fake one would be like a wax figure or something.

This is pretty much subjective topic.
But I think
Real anime watcher are someone who doesn't care about being real or fake. He/She just watch whatever he/she likes and that's it.

I'm a replica Anime Watcher. See, you'd SWEAR I was a real one, but if you take me to Rick Harrison and he calls in an expert, he'll let you know that I'm worth $100 even though your grandpa said I was real and was once touched by Akira Toriyama.

You will settle on $50 and Chumlee will have to ring it up...it's a limited market :(

A fake anime watcher is someone who watches trash anime in dub. You must only watch good anime and it has to be in Japanese without subs.

A 'real' anime watcher does not have a MAL account and is too busy actually watching anime.

You ll notice the difference once you start talking to them about anime or manga.
If they are still disturbed by incest etc they probably haven't seen all that many shows xd.

I've never seen such person using these anime to instill their taste upon others though except for AoT. It's usually gets labelled as edgy by some.

You either do or you don't, no..?


what i mean by fake is that some people say that they like anime but 2 hours later a friend comes by
and sees it and that person who likes anime is like what the hell is this shit?

you see where i'm going with this?

Well, I think you just answered your own question. Although, I wouldn't call them "fake". Insecure is a better term.

Would I be fake anime watcher if I watch 2 episodes of anime a month at most? If you mean how people view anime as a whole, then I'm going to need another paragraph.

So someone who doesn't enjoy watching anime in their time obviously wouldn't be REAL. If they only watch one series and thats it.. well its not a situation where no matter the amount you watch, you will always be REAL.

What i'm saying? If you don't mind watching anime, even if you don't watch that much at all, you can't possibly be FAKE. If you don't like the anime society on forums and social, but still like watching the occasional anime, you're still REAL. Simply put, If you don't enjoy anime and/or you think little of those who watch anime, FAKE until further notice.
Anime is pathetic. So am I for being a part of this community.

If you dedicate your time to watch anime then you're an anime watcher. If not, you aren't one as easy as that.

It could be argued that they don't like anime. They just like that one specific show. Kinda like how I don't like mecha shows, but I do like Gurren Lagann, Cross Ange, and Scrapped Princess.

It'd be absurd to say I like those two shows therefore I must like all mecha shows because that's not the case. The same, I think, goes for this hypothetical person. They like the show, but not the broader medium of anime.

Yes, rise! RISE necro thread! It is time to feast upon the living!

To me, the real fans can range from casual viewers who like a series to someone who engages with the community in some way, collects home releases and watches the new seasons, the stuff casual viewers don't really do
Fake anime fans will see iconography or symbols from a series and think it's cool, so they'd be cool if they said they are into it, but have watched 3 episodes and dropped a series, pretending their experts. When asked, they don't know anything about the plot or themes and don't know the meaning behind certain symbols and icons.
It's the same thing as fake gamers, it's the people who call link Zelda and samus metroid.
Topic of the day; why can't metroid crawl?

I agree! I believe there isn't an answer for everything, we shouldn't think of it too much.

Indeed. At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter.

The difference is watching anime, and watching anime at 2x speed or just reading wiki synopsis. If you do everything to can to minimize the amount of time you actually spend on watching anime, just so you can 'join the conversation' about them, that's a fraud.

One watches anime and the other doesn't.
Who are you and why do you show your hostility towards a complete stranger whom you've not once spoken with before. Are you seriously asking to get blocked? Well, if that's what your intent is; to tempt me into throwing hands with someone as lowly and insignificant as you, then i may grant your wish provided you articulate yourself a bit better when trying to spite a person of my wavelength.

You can't change shit because the shit ingredient is important.
All anime taste is shit taste.

Not having shit taste is proving that you are indeed a fake anime watcher.

I think we all are anime watchers. The problem is when ppl think they are better or there are others worse than them. It's anime not studies or work... They want to prove themselves better and argue about anything even if they are talking potatos. It's funny.
