thats kinda crap not counting ova's nor movies, as they stay animes whatever way you look at it, maybe not a complete serie and maybe they belong too a certain serie, but still it had too be downloaded or bought and watched.

So too me everything that is anime and is watched counts along on the list else everyone can say this doesn't count or that doesn't count and we will end up nothing counting.

Anyway as I mentioned just by series doesn't make you an anime freak in my opinion. I have alot less animes seen that several others here, though they been watching like 2 or 3 years longer then I did, and im basically catching up.

So I still say someone can be an anime freak in several ways and the best I still say is being like 24/7 anime, its a bit obsessed that way but watching almost all day or atleast not counting breakfast, lunch and dinner and bathroom breaks just watch all day I think thats what is called an anime freak xD

I've watched 85+ series and movies in a year and a half since I've started watching... this doesn't count what I've watched and dropped or put on hold... etc... Does that make me a "freak?" =/

I don't think you can call yourself a freak until you start giving up things like food, sleep and sanity in order to watch more anime. Provided you have sanity left to give.
This is the real freak Idea. period! you do any of those things? then you can watch all you want and not be a freak IMO.

Every hobby is healthy so long as we know that it is not all there is to life :)

Or maybe... it's that you need a Shigure Key Chain and a Fruits Basket Key Chain just to carry around 1 car key...

...or the fact that you have a Kakashi Key Chain hanging from one side of your purse and a Fye Key Chain hanging from the other side of your purse.

(Yeah... I've started an anime key chain collection, it seems =P)

Rather than Shuffle, I would rather get a Haruhi/Yuki/Mikuru combo. Perhaps a Yoshinoya one instead as well.

I agree with Sobzob, when your house has so many anime things in it like posters, you can be called a anime freak.

If thats so then I would be glad to be marked down on the (Anime Freaks List) having wall scrolls hanging from the ceiling no more room on the walls, but I think as well if you are well in to the 100+ in Animes watched thats pretty good. I tend to get 5-10 eps watched in Anime when I get home from work as for on the weekends its usually more.

I think it would take more than just watching anime series to be an anime freak.

Aside from having watching many many series, it would include stuff like being a person that buys many posters, wall scrolls, plushies, t-shirts, etc...

As soon as you start buying a lot of accesories, and have a lot of anime's under your belt with an extensive knowledge of most of them.

You are an otaku if you just have a strong love for anime, manga, and video games....and well pretty much anything Japanese. It is not a matter or how much you watch or own. thats my opinion.

it's not how many you've watched, but how many you are watching, and how much currently, it means nothing if you're 40, and you've watched 300 animes in your lifetime, but currently are no longer interested, you're not an anime freak, but if you've just started, but you're currently watching 100 animes at once, and for a majority of you're day, everyday, you're an anime freak (of course that is just an extreme example)

i think it's not really the number of animes cos we might not have much time due to work and school. i would say it's the obsession and craze for it. XD

Very little, the real connoisseurs in a genre usually like very little of it. It are the newbies who will like everything.

I think that an anime freak can be qualified as so by the amount of time spent not only watchign anime but also thinking about it, reading about it and speaking about it. And if you end up at the end of the day shouting for the magic cloud instead of picking the bus back home.. well it's another barrier broken..

QTF

even tho i've only seen a little over 250 series, most of my life revolves around anime
when i sing, it's only anime songs
when i draw, it's anime characters
when i act, it's to voice over anime characters
when i dance, it's to hare hare yukai or sailor fuku
when i design, it's usually digital graphics themed by anime
when i listen to music, it's only anime songs
when i watch TV, i go to my anime channel
when i go shopping, i usually go to my anime store first
and i've probably spent 80% of my money on anime goods
when i'm surrounded by anime goods, or when i'm at an anime shop, i feel like i'm in true paradise. i can't stop smiling when i imagine such a place
i only make friends with people who watch anime
my best friends are the ones who watch just as much anime as me
in fact, when i date someone and they don't watch anime it's an automatic turn off.
i wish i lived in japan, and i wish i knew how to speak japanese
when i have free time, i watch anime
if i'm not watching anime, i'm surely thinking about what anime to watch
or i'm doing something anime related like the ones already listed above

i'm working on watching anime everyday... watching 100-200 series a month is nothing really. That's about how much series i watch in a week. 20 series is nothing, because i watch at least 30 on going series at a time, plus 20 that are not on going.

This is an example of an anime freak.
