Dunno, I'm just me.
I don't like elitism though.

I honestly don't know. I don't watch a lot of anime when compared to other fans of the media but when I do watch anime, I prefer more serious seinen anime with themes that make you think

Casual - I watch a lot of anime but I couldn't care less about production studios, art direction, sound design, writing/character development (from an academic pov), historical importance, ect.

That's not to say that plot and whatnot aren't important, but being interesting/enjoyable is the only qualifier I use - which is admittedly subjective and completely arbitrary. Basically I like shows that are just dumb fun, or as elitist would put it, the shows that are destroying the industry.

Neither. Too hardcore to be casual and not jaded enough to be an elitist.

I used to be guilty of giving pretty much every show an 8+. Have been trying to rewatch and rerate things but it's going to take a lot of time before I think I can fully use all 10 numbers

I can see how high you rate with your mean score being 7.9 whilst his is 4.5.


yea huge difference in average score but comparatively we rate pretty similar, 87.8% compatibility with 40 shared anime. Kinda weird how it works like that.

I'm probably an elitist, but I go by fairly orthodox standards. Understanding form is important, but it can blind a person if they aren't careful.

Casual and elitist aren't antithetic, but I suppose it has been said already a lot of time in the thread.

I'm definitely a casual considering the number of shows I watch per year now a day.

Now, am I an elitist? I don't think so, but I'm always searching for quality that will fit my taste, that's for sure, so I'm very picky and critic.
That would make me an "elitist" I suppose if not for the lack of self esteem necessary to look at other from above thinking that my taste is better than theirs. Wow, thinking about it, I almost ended as one of those, this is a bit frightening~

Most casuals are dumb.
Elitists are tryhards.

I ask the readers of this thread to check my list and tell me where I fall because my spectrum is nearly across the board in my opinion. I've got some I haven't seen yet that maybe considered elitist material; however I believe most of my stuff falls into the casual category.
So tell me what you think based on my list.

I'm a casual elitest. On one side, I can talk for hours about shows like Steins;Gate or Fate;Zero, on the other hand I can do the same for shows like Natsume Yuujinchou. So yeah, I'm kinda both.
