| So as the title says, How much anime do you need to watch to make you a veteran, I've only brought this up because out of my friends that i have irl, I've seen the most anime out all of them & so when I told some of them today that I've almost completed 400 anime on myanimelist they called me a veteran, which I replied saying that I'm nowhere close to being a veteran, there's people out there who have finished way more than I could ever dream of & So I ask this question here. |

| At least 200+ without including OVA |
| I don't really know but I think I've had enough Anime experience to be considered as a 'veteran'. (completed: 150+, I think) |
| Still don't consider myself a veteran |
 |
hoopla123 said: Yeah I thought something like this also. At least 200+ without including OVA I mean, I guess you are a "veteran" when you can easily recommend other people anime they will enjoy? |
 |
| I consider This Guy a veteran but I don't see myself as one I still feel like a baby with how much anime I've seen |
| having watched at least 50 popular franchises can make you a knowledgeable guy on a certain medium, but I guess being a 'veteran' means you've watched more than the average person did, at least 100+ franchises. Franchise means that you consider e.g. Pokemon, Pokemon Advance Generation, and other pokemon franchise as one. But being a veteran in my opinion is that you muster a satisfactory knowledge about almost all questions regarding that field. And you must have some knowledge about how the background part of industry, the production team, etc. Not just having watched almost everything. A fish that traveled the seven seas is still a fish A bird that flew around the world is still a bird. Unless you got the brain of a veteran; you are nothing but casual. |

| I'm currently in the EXACT same situation as you. xD Although I personally don't see how being a veteran can be substituted into a number since person A could have watched fewer anime series than person B but may have watched more episode due to watching more long running series. (like between me and you, our episode counts are similar but you've seen 100 more series than I have) I'd personally say a person who's watched a decent amount would be about 7,500 episodes and a veteran would be someone who has watched 15,000 + episodes in my personal opinion. |

| 200 will be enough unless you keep on watching hentai and ecchi :3 |

I don't know much about him, but having adequate knowledge about what was pertaining to can be considered a veteran, or it could matter on how long he's into that field. Do not think that a veteran will always have the better judgment. For in the denotative sense, a veteran is a person who has had long service or experience in a particular occupation or field, and does not imply the betterment of judgment and opinion |

Can't call yourself a veteran if you've not seen a wide varieties of shows. |

| I'd say 300 anime completed would make you one tbh. |

kamisama751 said: All you need is analyzing skills. The title count doesn't really mean that much. I'd agree. I've watched a lot more anime than the "average" person (who only knows about stuff like DBZ and Pokemon), though compared to people on this site I haven't watched much. |

| So....I got over 200 hundred anime. That make me a veteran? I knowledgeable in anime, at least in terms of recommendations. |

| 200+ is actually a lot of content, personally, I'd say that 100 different anime series is about the lower limit. But it also can depend on how long one has been watching anime for. ;3 |
so, tell me where should I go? |

| 1500 anime completed or I won't even acknowledge you exist. |
| Completed count doesn't mean much though. Watch time does |
  |
| 365 days or I won't even acknowledge you exist. |
worldeditor11 said: Pretty sure most people have a rather low percentage of their watch time being through rewatching though. But yeah okay fair enoughHaXXspetten said: Completed count doesn't mean much though. Watch time does No, it doesn't. Watch time can easily be raised by rewatching. If both completion and watch time are taken account into judging a user's experience towards anime, then yes, they are relevant. But only when they are together, not as a single entity. |
| |
| I'm not really sure how many but I guess if you've been watching many over a span of a few years then maybe you'd be a "veteran" anime fan :P |

worldeditor11 said: Senpaoi said: Those who are adults that want to get far in life, that have watched hundreds of anime (as an adult) should be embarrassed. What a load of bull. Why the heck should I be embarrassed for liking or even consuming something I like in large quantity? No, anime is not inherently bad. If it does, all media should be viewed as such. Don't bother feeding the troll m8. Kids get off rustling people's jimmies on the internet. |
Senpaoi said: Mr_Perv_ said: Sorry, that was poor wording on my part. I should have made my point more clear. I was referring to the definition others were giving of an "anime veteran" containing a certain number of anime (since the concept of an anime veteran itself doesn't make sense to me). How does being a anime vet mix in with someone having no life & embarrassment . Those who are adults that want to get far in life, that have watched hundreds of anime (as an adult) should be embarrassed. This does not apply to someone like me who is only a sophomore in high school and that is already 3 (will be 4) years ahead in math and 3 years ahead in sciences. My writing is on par of an average highschool Junior. (Don't use the writing on these forums to debunk this. I hardly even try to use proper grammar except on rare occasions like essays and for MAL Rewrite) That makes no sense though. What does anime have to do with getting far in life? You can study etc. and still watch plenty of anime. |

Unless you want me to spread the truth about Iroha will not win at the end of the novel, you might as well let me waste some time feeding/bashing this Yukino wannabe. Fuck I just realized the kid is a Yukinofag. Smh. Get him. And Iroha not winning? Lying won't get you far in life fam. |
| I feel like the amount of anime watched is a small factor in becoming a veteran. I feel like a veteran is someone who has knowledge of the industry, knowledge spread across majority of the genres, and a decent amount of shows watched under their belt (so they can recommend to people). |
worldeditor11 said: You know it as much as I do. Yukino will be the end girl regardless of your warped love towards Iroha. Not Yui. Not Haruno. Not Kawasaki. Heck, not even the best candidate Totsuka will win against Yukino donned with plot armour. Not a fan of it. I think Yukino's a bitch and drama queen. Yui is where its at but Hachiman is too stupid to see it. |

| I would say about 200, that gives you a broad enough scope, especially if you've gone out of your way to watch anime from different decades and/or genres. |
