| This isn't your ordinary poll to see who is a weboo or otaku. During my early years of watching anime i've always considered myself as an ordinary anime fan who just watches for leisure. But when i look back 5 years from now, i realized i was the biggest fucking weaboo, sing animu songs, saying those cringe anime phrases, watching anime where ever i went, typical weeb stuff. (definitely not anymore) So my question is, When you look back at yourself do you consider yourself a Weaboo/Otaku? |
 |
| ANYBODY THAT WATCHES ANIME IS A FUCKING WEEEEEEEEEEEB!!! OT: Anybody that signs up to MAL is likely an otaku, it just means fanatic. |

| |
| I don't consider myself Japanese but anime and manga are my main so otaku |
| To be honest, i have no idea what to consider myself. Like, i think i watch way too much anime (does that count here?) but i don't do (never did) typical otaku/weeb stuff. So i think i'm more like: BakaKuro said: an ordinary anime fan who just watches for leisure. But yeah, I still think it'd be nice to have my room filled with LNs, anime toys and stuff. |

| Otaku has taken on a negative connotation in the recent years. |

| Your not dealing with your ordinay weboo poll. You see this thread has risen beyond the limits of a normal weboo poll. Becoming the legend people fear, the legend know through out the internet as the most powerful weboo poll to ever exist. this Poll is a super weboo poll jokes aside. i mostly read comics,manga and watch Live action tv, some movies, western Animations, internet series, and Anime. so i don't really know |

And those who undergo suffering and avoid giving it to others." -Alice “Beauty is no quality in things themselves: It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them; and each mind perceives a different beauty.” David Hume “Evil is created when someone gives up on someone else. It appears when everyone gives up on someone as a lost cause and removes their path to salvation. Once they are cut off from everyone else, they become evil.” -Othinus  |
| I weirdly gravitated toward anime before I even knew what it was. Gonna blame the japanese for having superior subliminal mind control over the youths. These days I guess if I were a labeling kinda guy you could get away with calling me a weeb. Though I've cut back on how much anime I've watched significantly the past year or so. (which is about the only thing other than having an account on MAL that would make me weebish in the first place) |
| I remember back when I used to like Lucky Star and Elfen Lied. Those were dark times. |

| Maybe a bit of an otaku, otherwise I wouldn't be posting on a forum dedicated to anime? |
| Otaku? Perhaps. Weeb, no. I only learned Japanese simply because Japan has some good shit research for geology. |
| weeb = A non japanese person who basically denounces their own culture and calls themselves japanese. They try to learn japanese through the anime they watch and usually end up pronouncing it wrong and looking like a complete idiot. (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Weeaboo) yeah, if you're not a japanese but try so hard to put every japanese words you know to your conversation, fuck you |
| No. Weebs don't care about accuracy. I care about accuracy. I want to seriously self teach myself Japanese and I'm a perfectionist. I know what are good resources for things like this. And anyone that goes that far basically has de facto dual citizenship of their home country and wherever they have an interest in. |
 |
| No, I've never been a weeb. Even at my most fanatical phase of liking anime...I only liked anime not the actual Japanese culture. For example: The Japanese language.....English motherfucker do you speak it?! All this Shinto and shrine shit....guess what fuckers, there's only ONE God, and he died for your heathen ass on the cross! Jap Food....NOPE...I'll stick to my Burgers and Pizza! God Bless America! Jap traditional clothing.....once again, NOPE....jeans and a t-shirt that's all you need! All this karate bullshit.....we got guns, a shit ton of them too! |
| I say I'm a weeb but Idk, might as well call myself a weeb. I don't do the Kawaii or using japanese phrases shit, and I only watch anime in my room, I read manga outside though. However I blast Rabu Raibu music whenever I go anywhere in my car. When I hear Torikoriko PLEASE or Guilty Night, Guilty Kiss play on my stereo, I sing along with that shit. |
 |
| nope. I just quietly watched anime/read manga. I never said any phrases or do anything too stupid. Kept to myself |
| @My_American_Brothers.... Please don't be a weeb and fully embrace OUR great culture! But if you're still confused...you can decide if you want:  ^Choose Freedom! |
| I have always been more of a casual fan than anything. |
| :) |
| No, not really. I'm a typical, ordinary fan. There's nothing really interesting about me. |
 "Please stop talking about math when I'm eating." |
| Well looking back. . . . Weeaboo? No. I've never denounced my own culture and start calling myself Japanese, also I don't use weeb phrases or try to learn Japanese through anime or act like I speak Japanese. Otaku? I have a life and I don't stay home all the time watching anime. I have other things in life that I do other than just anime. I don't really know what to consider myself back then. Maybe a typical ordinary fan? |
| Luckily never happened to me, but I think it's mostly thanks to the fact that I was almost an adult when I started watching anime. If I'd discovered anime as 10-14 year old I would probably have a lot of embarassing memories now. |
 |
| My current weeb level is pretty much the same than the one I had when I started watching anime. The only difference is that before I used to hum some anime songs to myself in public places. I left that habit after realizing how stupid I looked. |
 |
| No matter how much I denied I probably 99% otaku or weeb you name it because it's quite the same meaning right? (weeb for westerners, otaku for japan) Proof that I'm indeed a weaboo: 1. Phone and desktop wallpaper is anime 2. Ringtone is anime song 3. Music 75% anime song 4. Is fluent in singing several anime song 5. Take Japanese Literature as her major 6. Goes to Japan to buy tons of anime merch and doujinshis 7. Occasionally wears anime clothing in public (not costume, just the casual ones) 8. Uses anime merch in her everyday stuff (anime keychains in bags and phone, notebook and binders with anime picture on it, anime clearfiles, mugs, sougo's sleeping mask, and stuff) 9. Likes to eat Japanese foods Proof that I'm not THAT of a weaboo 1. Never watch anime in public 2. Never participate in any anime event more because I'm broke and hate crowded places 3. Never cosplay 4. Doesn't own any dakimakura (but I do owns a normal small pillow that is Eren and Law) 5. Doesn't own any action figures because they are expensive as f and I have no use of them 6. Doesn't own any anime posters 7. Doesn't hum anime song in public (only sings one in showers or karaoke) 8. Doesn't randomly sprouting japanese words unless necessary (example: when actually conversing with a Japanese or people who understands japanese) 9. I have interests outside anime (western movies, marvel, books, games, drawing) |

 |
| Eh? what's the difference between weaboo and otaku? |
  |
| First few months I was sort of a weeb (who wasn't?), but after that I was an elitistfag 4 lyfe. |

|
| I don't see myself as a Otaku or a Weaboo.I really like Animes and Manga.I'm a fan of course but not a extreme one.I just enjoy them, |
 I will not believe that everything is controlled by fate. ll X ll |
| I'm pretty sure no. I always liked watching anime, but it didn't turn me into someone who prefers an other culture over my own or a shut in who spend his whole time and money on anime and merchandise/games etc.. Otaku is an extrem term which refers to people who basically only live for their passion and a real Otaku has almost nothing else besides his hobby. https://myanimelist.net/anime/785/Otaku_no_Video This OVA is quite interesting and for people who want to know how Otakus lived and were treated in Japan. It's a little older and some things may(probably) have changed, but I think it's still educational. |

| OT: In my high school days i used to have more often anime avatars, and had more opportunities for watching anime at school so i used them. Now i don't do anime avatars so often, and only attend school for the important parts, so i don't have many opportunities to watch anime outside home. The majority of the music i listen has never been japanese, and I sometimes use japanese phrases ironically and with people in the know. I gues i was more overtly into anime back then, but not by much.. |
|
| If I were to compare, I'm probably more otaku-ish today than during my highschool days. Maybe because of extracurricular activities and the image I had to maintain during school days. (I couldn't even set an anime wallpaper on my phone back then..) |
| You cant be an Otaku unless you are member of nipponjin master race. |
 |
| No, I never become obssessed with anime/manga that it became the only thing I have that matters most. I have a life :P |
 |
| Nope, not a weaboo, at max a otaku as anime and games are my only hobbies. |
| You are not your body, you are your brain, the "self" that emerges from within it. |
| I think I just went full weeaboo 3 years ago. I was just an otaku since 2006. |
     "Maybe he's trying to take a shit, but the shit just won't come out." Captain Levi, 2014 (／^-^)／☆♪  ♪☆＼(^０^＼) |
| I don't have much deep knowledge about anime nor much hardcore passion on anime so the term Otaku does not fit me, I also do not glorify Japanese culture so neither do I think I am a weeboo. I'm just an average anime watcher I guess. |
| Here to break the ice and proclaim myself as an evolving w33b. - replace english phrases with jp (blurt out KISAMA!exclamationpoint!1one!) - music is all animu OP & ED's with mix of OST, bits of Nana Mizuki in there - entertainment is all animu and mangos, fuck western media - wearing animu t shirts - going to jp restaurants, no not the Americanized "hibachi" ones, but ramen joints and apparently theres a japanese restaurant that's run by actual japanese.\ more to come... |
 |
| No poll... :( OP killed my dreams... :( Anyway when I look back, I still consider myself as a human being... :/ |
| Well maybe an otaku. I am not going to those lengths where one throws their own culture to adopt the Japanese one. |
