| Noragami fanbase is the best, to be honest. I still haven't seen a obnoxious noragami fan and i hope it's never show up, haha! |
| Yeah, the smaller fanbases are pretty nice, when people do in fact get together. Mainly because most people in small fanbases understand that they can't actually get away with being jerks to other people, or else they'll lose something special. |

| Love love love the Inuyasha fanbase. It's nice because even though I came to the show (and anime in general) much later online, the show's main seasons on TV stopped airing 15 years ago so a lot of the people involved are also people now in their 20s with nostalgia for the mid-2000s period. And they share an affinity for wanting to preserve the love and appreciation for something that's since passed from the current Zeitgeist, so are always intrigued and enthused when coming across another fan. I have always preferred small groups of people. Give me one close friend and an intimate conversation over a massive room filled with people and a loud party. Give me a circle of 2-3 over a mob. The problem with Inuyasha fandom today is it feels like a bit of an endangered species having to contend with the ravages of time to keep from being drowned out. |
| This is true. The more popular something is the more obnoxious the fans, and yes, the haters, are. I'm a fan of a certain popular western cartoon, and every time I hear about some dumb shit other people in that fanbase have done, I feel almost ashamed that I like the same thing they do. |
| Well, as I like to say, the Ikkitousen fan base is just me, and I like me, so I'm okay with this. |

| Yes, Aria, Legend of the Galactic Heroes, Kaiji and Initial D are very good. Gundam isn't small but for me is the best fanbase. |

Agreed,the Room has the objectively best fanbase, tiny bu- |

| I've had some pretty good anthropological and psychological discussions with part of the 3-gatsu no Lion fanbase, very polite people btw. That's pretty cool. |
 |
| Land of the Lustrous has a small fan base just because the show isn't known by many which sucks. |

| smaller fanbase is way better imo. I would want more recognition for the show but take example something like MHA. The fandom is so big that a lot of nuisances surround it. From people who don’t watch much to people who do. Naruto is another example. I honestly cringe when people who rarely watch stuff spout out something like “Man these Naruto characters are so well developed!!!” So many people watch it who don’t have much experience with other stuff. I don’t mind some big fan bases though, like JoJo,Monogtari etc. Also fandom war aren’t a concern to me. People this season on twitter were arguing Dr Stone vs Fire Force and I was sitting their reading it thinking it’s great to be in a lot of groups :) |

| Yuru Camp's fanbase consists of the following actions: 1. Repeating how comfy the show is and how we wish to go camping 24/7. 2. Taking photos of the outside world or a cup of ramen noodles. 3. *Anything related to camping* OH WOW A YURU CAMP REFERENCE 4. Responding with "Hey maybe you'll like a cute little show called Yuru Camp" to literally every post or tweet asking for recommendations to watch even if the original poster is not even a fan of anime. 5. Insisting that you should really not lewd the characters. 6. Sharing wholesome character and shipping art. It's a nice place to be at. |

| I never delved into any anime fanbase, even when I love the show, because of experiences I've had with fanbases in other media. I don't know about anime specifically, but there's some magical sweet spot for how big/small fanbases should be to remain enjoyable. Fanbases too big and the amount of self-entitlement and tribe mentality skyrockets, fanbases too small and the worst part is the supposed feeling of superiority and 'being too hard for normies' takes over. |

| I think both are fine in the same bad way. A bigger fanbase may be worse than smaller fanbases but sometimes I'd feel like it'd be really nice if everyone in my school knew "X" anime/manga I really liked and that'd let's say help our "friendship". I'm not part of any online fanbase but I have a pretty large group of friends that like anime and those are the people with which I want to talk and express my "fanism" as my friends are more likely to have different taste and opinions which helps a lot discussing. (Sidenote: talking with friends about anime is 100% better than forum, all those threads only have people assessing their opinion with RARE discussion between usually the same people which is kinda sad) . Anyways what I mean is joining any fanbase big or small always leads to "circlejerking" X anime/manga and depending on the degree of fanism of whatever anime/manga you can have low to simply no meaningful discussions about X anime/manga. Although bigger fanbases means more people that like the same thing as you, which is quite hard with friends at school because they stick to their taste ((SHONEN) I have a love/hate relationship with high appeal shonens), it also means more annoying fans as cringy retards and people taking it too seriously. I've been listening to Gurren Lagann's (delicious) OST on a background Youtube tab and when I'm bored and go check the comments and I can find some essays about how this anime changed their perception of life and that it is a contemporary masterpiece or whatever. Keep in mind Gurren Lagann is a parody show. Smaller fanbases have the same thing but because it is a small fanbase, they may contain less people but those who are in the fanbase are taken more seriously which isn't a good thing. In the end it depends of the anime, I haven't seen Mushishi but I feel like this kind of anime gets the good kind of fanbases (small and quietly enjoying themselves without any bullshit and cringy fanism). Also check out Nujabes, great fanbase with great music, not planning onto watching Samurai Champloo anytime soon but the music is top tier. Please tell me if I just said something stupid in this reply, I had big thoughts on this thread but it's hard to organize it all in a legitimate post. |

| No thanks. I don't want to circlejerk with a bunch of sensitive people who will only accept one kind of opinion. If I talk about an anime, it will be with the general audience. |

| The Love Live fandom is pretty nice unless we are speaking of the Latin American One from 2016 to late 2017/ early 2018 when they were feuding with the LatAM JoJo fanbase for some reason. It might be Massive in Japan but the International fanbase is kinda Small. At least compared to other shows. |

| I have a different interpretation. It's kind of nice inside any fandom - small or big. Yes, there are some internal clashes but they are on the nurdish side and can pass for "discussions". The uglier stuff happens when some fandom tries to recruit by force new followers or tries to paint in black some opposing big franchise or directly collides with another fandom. The bigger the fandom, the more aggressive it gets towards everything outside of it. |

| Hmm. I dunno. I think SOMETIMES a fandom is what you make of it. I have a lot of friends who used to be in a fandom I'm still in. They don't even like to talk about it and are always saying things like, "IT WAS A TERRIBLE FANDOM". Personally, though you do have some crappy people every now and then (though not so much anymore), I've had a mostly fine time with the fandom. I didn't do anything TOO cringe worthy in relation to the fandom back in the day. Turns out that the friends who shun the fandom did some...?? They had like dog collars and other kinky stuff they'd wear while cosplaying as the characters and stuff (not really canon at all and perhaps not relevant to the characters 98% of the time). I had never seen stuff like that, so that never ended up as my experience with the fandom. But it just seems to me that they made their OWN fandom experience cringe worthy. As far as I know, they were some of the only folks doing that in the fandom. At that point, that's you, not the fandom.;; Then you have fandoms that pretty much don't exist. It kinda stings. You want to talk about it and think it's amazing even, but no one you know even knows about it and people don't even talk about it online.;; And then, since it's not on anyone's radar, you can't even convince friends to watch the shows. That's how most of my small fandoms go. |
