I’m also wasting all my money on buying mangas sjsjsj 😭😭 so I’m broke like 100% of the time

Watching anime and reading manga is okey I think. But just don't go around in school or work and say things like "This is so kawaii" etc... ^^

I don't think so. It just means that you are enjoying anime, which isn't equal to being a weeb. Although it could potentially lead to it, obviously. But on its own it's insufficient to earn you that label. I used to watch that much anime too for a long time, and sometimes I still do when I'm in a period when I'm very interested in anime, and I have the time. And I'm not a weeb by far, imo.

Nop, being a weeb is being obsessed with the japanesse culture in a disturbing way and without understanding the culture. Enjoying a lot of anime at most would make you an otaku.

Dont worry, it will burn off after 400 completed entries and watching progress will slowed down due to lack of interest or genuinely ran out of real good anime.

No, you're fine. I'm currently on holidays, so I'm doing just the same. I work and attend the university the entire year, in my holidays we have the right to lock ourselves on our rooms and watch animanga all day and night, play VNs and videogames. That's fine to me. Just make sure you sleep, take baths and eat properly, and you'll be fine.

When I watch 6 - 8 eps a day, it feels like I haven't watched enough anime. You haven't reached a milestone yet, and you (me too) have a lot left to explore. We're still at the tip of the iceberg and haven't fallen to the depths of the abyss.
Short answer, no

I tend to think that being a weeb means that a) watching anime is detrimentally affecting your life and interfering with your ability to carry out whatever responsibilities you have and b) you've started perceiving the Japanese culture as a culture that is superior to all others because of the Japanese media you have consumed thus far and, as such, want to become Japanese.

Also, 6-8 episodes per day? I don't think you've achieved the status of weeb, yet. Not that being a weeb is a particularly good thing.

Early signs but not fully a weeb yet, to fully become a weeb you must only listen to Anime music, waste your money on figures and anime merch, and also say that Japanese is your fave language and Japan is the main place you want to travel to cause "Anime desu"

6-8 episodes a day is enough to qualify as a weeb these days? Fuck no wonder everyone's calling themselves a weeb these days. The bar is set way too low.

-All you do is watch anime/read manga
-6 to 8 episodes of anime per day
-spending all your money on manga

Does it matter? maybe you'll be watching anime all your life. Maybe you'll give it up and take up another hobby. Whether you are a weeb or not, doesn't matter, as long as you enjoy doing what you decide to do.

*In my opinion*

Enjoy watching anime and reading manga on spare times
( just an otaku, you're fine)

Anime and manga is the only thing you do and neglecting every commitment in your life
(you're becoming a neet, you're not fine)

Starting to wear a shirt with your favorite waifu printed on public while carrying your dakimakura
(now that's a weeb )

(Bonus)
For me, buying merchandise, figurines, manga, learning Japanese culture is alright for me as long you don't shove it in someone's ass. Just keep it for yourselves. Excluding dakimakura.

I experience this second-handed from my friend who is a weeb and living in a self-indulged way. Nonetheless, all of this is my opinion only and excuse me for my bad English.

well nowadays weeb is used for anyone who has watched a single second of anime in their entire life, even if it was like some ghibli movie they unwillingly watched at the age of four, so yes, sadly i must diagnose you with the weeb

The original definition of weeb (Someone who obsessed about Japan but end up disrespecting it) lost its power since the memes in 2014/2015 where people call themselves and each other "Fucking Weeb" just for talking about anime and nowadays it's just a colloquialism instead of being straight up offensive when someone call you a weeb just for consuming anime things.

So from the original definition, OP is not actually a weeb. But let's just say that OP is a weeb for now.

Idk, do you irrationally glorify japanese culture in all its facets while looking down on everything western?

If not, then you're not a weeb. You're just a new anime fan. Weeb is an insult for people with specific delusions about japanese culture. If you want a nerdy term for anime fan, there's always Otaku. You don't want to be a weeb and you aren't, trust me.
I probably regret this post by now.
