| i started anime this year and ive been trying to become an anime fan, how much anime do i have to watch ? im guessing about 1000 makes sense |
 |
| 100 TV & 31 days that's when you're not a poser anymore |
 |
| Yeah i guess when you hit 100 you could be considered a real anime fan |
Offence or Defence, Passive or Violent. I''ll cut my wrist until my heartbeat is silent.  |
| you'll be a anime fan when you consider yourself to be one there is no magical number the numbers just show your progress and will help to tell if you're a noob or not |
 |
| you need only finish the weeb starter pack and you're good to go. |
| You have to write one hundred times "SAO is shit". |

A fan is someone who enjoys something, if you're a fan of a good variety of shows, you can be considered a fan of the whole medium. Just watch a little of everything so you can get a good idea of the various shows that the medium has to offer. |

| When you have watched 1 anime that isn't Death Note, Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, SAO, AoT, One Punch Man, Dragon Ball, or Pokemon then you can be considered an anime fan. |

| 100 is the magical number. when you hit 1000 you are a sicko. also important is that you shouldnt have a mean score of over 8 . if possible it should be under 7,5 or even lower. but not under 5. all of that would make you a weirdo. |

| Rather than through a materialistic or quantitative endeavour, the inauguration of a new anime fan is a journey of discovery. In short, there is no magical number: the anime fan is born in that impossible moment when love meets desire. Deep inside each of us lies that bedded seed of 2D, but only a few of us awaken to its berserk glory. There is no single way in which this might occur. For some, it is a sudden and spontaneous birth; for others, it is the process of a long and careful nurture. As there is no sure way to initiate this enlightenment, it must come down to each individual's heart and soul. Each of us is a reflection of anime: a small fragment that is a part of that greater whole. In order for us to become true anime, we must find a way to embrace that whole. To find that way, we must first want to find it: this is the first step. In the myriad of Anime, there is a countless number of fans. In the way of the Anime fan, there is a countless number of paths. And yet each road when dutifully travelled, will eventually lead us to the source: True Anime. Embracing this way and shouldering its burdens is the only rule. Keep the faith burning, for only Anime knows the way. Follow the Anime way, and all else follows. |

Wow, still 23 TV shows to watch? Gimme a break, everybody knows movies and OVA >>> generic otaku pandering LN adaptation ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |

| When you enjoy watching anime and consider yourself as one. Number of anime only shows how much you are familiar with the medium, and how others see if they'll take you seriously or not. |

| Over the last years the requirements to become an anime fan have risen. I think 1000 series aren't enough to make the cut. It should be at least 2000. |

| If you have an active interest in the anime medium and seek out knowledge about the medium, I'd consider you an anime fan. |

| There is no number. If you want to be a real anime fan, you have to try harder. Of course, you also have to undergo a ritual to summon Cthulhu, but that´s just a normal procedure. After the third time, it´s kinda like going to the dentist. |

Gimme a break, everybody knows movies and OVA >>> generic otaku pandering LN adaptation ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Its actually think its true(like overall tv shows, not LN adaptations cause they are obviously garbage), Ill have to check if my mean score for Movies+OVAs is higher than for all TV series some day. OT: I heard 200 shows is the 'anime minimum' but I dont really care |

| I only have a hundred anime on my list, so my opinions dont matter... |
  as long as you dont 1.think people on here are fucking snob weebs 2.dont think someone is trolling for having an anime you never seen b4 in their fac |
| So embarrased with Tensura fans and the fandom, how have we degraded |
| You must not try to be an anime fan. In fact, you're already one, so needless to insist further on it. |
| When you decide you should have a MAL account. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| In first place you need to stop watching garbage like Re:Zero. |
 |
| What a handful of diverse shows ( different genre ) this your only a true fan if you've seen X amount of shows is retarded. |
| 100 titles is the arbitrary start of your degeneracy as a weeb but it's still a long way to go. Your futile journey as an anime weeb enthusiast whatever the hell is it has just started and will ultimately won't end. |
| You fool. No one in this world needs to watch 100+ anime to be considered a anime fan. Have a look at my list and I'm still a anime fan. Even if I have a small amount I love the anime I chose very much, that love is much stronger than the 100 anime someone quickly watched to just get a fake title. |
| I only watch the very best anime out there. Every anime I think is worthy of my list has to be perfect from the very beginning to the end. I study the anime and make sure it's 100% satisfying for me. My current anime project: Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu Future anime project: Unknown Please feel free to recommend me anime to watch. Just leave a message on my profile :) |
| The Merriam-Webster dictionary states that, "an enthusiastic devotee, usually as a spectator" is what you need to be to be a fan. IDK though, it's kind of a subjective term if you think about it. |
| As long as you love it and continue to more and not stick with just one anime and just talking about it that is when you are a true fan. |
| You are a fan once you consider yourself a fan. After that comes what kind of fan you are, but you also decide that for yourself. |

| If you actively dedicate a good amount of your time in discussion and/or continue to watch different anime series, then that should be enough. Judging only through quantifiable levels, I would assume they are anime fans if they meet 1 of the following conditions: 1) 100 TV Series completed (MAL counts sequels as a separate TV series) 2) 50 days watched 3) 200 entries completed (since people can watch shorts, movies to inflate) 4) 50 franchises watched |

| 50-100 somewhere between there. I kinda just take people at their word when they say they are an anime fan but I like about 100 anime. My husband is not at 100 anime and does not consider himself a fan. He is around 75 anime. He only watches yaoi, shonen ai, and ghibli movies. He also loves Inuyasha, Cowboy Bebop, Sailor Moon, Naruto, and Neon Genesis Evangelion. Even likes trash like Hentai Prince and the Stony Cat. He pushed ME to watch that. XD He liked that the dude was trying to find a wank spot in the opening song. He is way more into video games. I think being an anime fan is more a mindset. If my husband casually watches anime with me because he loves me and happens to find some he likes (mostly romance anime), that is nice. He tries to find ones he likes because he knows I am WAY into this stuff. Sadly, we have like opposite land taste in yaoi. And the stuff he does end up liking is always trash. hahaha. I just showed him Love Tyrant and he likes it. Granted I like it too. But that show is trash. XD Trashy goodness. 1000 is a really stupid marker that only people on here believe. Most people who go to convention I meet only have seen 50-100. Older fans will see 100-200 (by older I mean around 25). Only 40 year olds are in the 1000 club. |
The anime community in a nutshell.  |
I don't work or go to school, and I am 26... and I am disabled. And I STILL find other things that aren't anime to do. Like walk my dog. Go to tea parties. Cook food. And I really do have nothing else to do all day if I wanted, I really could waste all my hours getting up to 1000. |
| The anime community in a nutshell. |
| I think you could be considered an anime fan when you stop looking forward to only the mainstream or the most popular shows of the season and start checking out other small or less popular ones. When you get curious about a show not because it's popular, but because of the story or art, when it doesn't matter if an anime is from the 90s or 80s or even the 2000s. Thats what I think. P.S. I think expecting someone to watch 1000 shows just to be considered an anime fan is crazy. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Nah, I'd say at least 50 shows completed is enough to qualify. But of course I'd say that. Just look at my completed list :c. |
| I think there are not a "magical number" to become a real anime fan. But if you watch anime from a lot of different genres and watch some no-mainstream anime, you´re already becoming a real anime fan. Because you´re looking for something harder to find and to like. And i think that 1000 anime are too much xD |

| I think that the time watching is more important that the number of completed anime. One could reach more than 1000 just by the multitude of shorts and music videos. Once you get to 100 days and you aren't bored, there is no turning back. |

This is the place where I don't feel so out of place with over 500. :( I don't meet people like me my own age (26) with more than me in real life. I am everyone's senpai. |
