| Maybe after they finish a few, they might have an idea of what a good anime is. To be honest, I have been watching anime for five years and still feel like a noob. :l |
  |
| you're not a noob once you've watched enough anime to know your favs aren't unique to the point they are special snow flakes and you stop complaining something is generic and instead bring up how the show under delivers compared to other shows of its genres or plot idea |
 |
| Once they have watched about 10,000 shows |
  |
| Probably what you said wrapped up what I was saying I couldn't say it better. Edit: When they stop comparing Goku vs Saitama. |
| When you realise Attack on Titan isn't the greatest anime made. I'm still a noob so what do I know. |
| "True anime fan" only exists as a term for other people to be branded as fakes and feel that they are above others. I generally don't like to use the term. I don't consider myself very involved in the community and I'm not really driven into watching that much anime. I consider myself a casual. That said while it is true that generally more anime watched is more discussion to be had, but some people watch fewer yet their thoughts/opinions are still able to resonate with me and others who've watched alot seemed to sometimes dig themselves further into the pit of stubbornness. |

SomeRandomNerd said: That tends to be case for a lot of newer watchers @Deknijff That's a great point - when I first started watching anime everything was really novel and amazing to me. I also wasn't much of a TV watcher before I got into anime too, so I had very little experience with shows in general. Because my standards were nonexistent from so little experience If I remember correctly and my observation isn't so off I think once someone hits around 100 completions thats the point people really lose that thrill and excitement I remember @EcchiKingMamster also mentioning that but also how users seem to get full of themselves thinking they know a lot more than they actually do |

SomeRandomNerd said: @BurningSpirit That was my mistake. I don't mean the term in a way to look down upon any other "type" of fan. We're all here because we enjoy anime and it would be rude to think any one person is invalid because of they way they decide to enjoy anime. I'm not trying to affect anyone by this discussion, I'm just curious as to opinions on the matter. I didn't mean that you specifically implied it, your thread seemed friendly enough to encourage discussion. However the idea that there's some threshold of anime experience that graduates you from "noob" to "true anime fan" is already branding a bunch of people within various levels of experience. I think the concept that it takes "X no. of anime" to make someone better at discussing anime is laughable, unless anime is really the only thing they watch. Anime isn't this magical different thing from any other medium, your taste and depth of thought can come from watching any other show. I'd have a lot more to talk about to someone who is interested in the mystery genre, and happens to delve into anime just for mystery anime than I would someone who plowed countless hours watching anime yet cannot understand that "moe" isn't a genre but an art style, so criticising an anime as "moe" addresses neither to plot nor character progression. |

| I can't say too much since I'm still a noob , but I've seen a lot of people who overrate their favourite anime and jugde it without accepting its flaws . When you haven't seen many shows , you think every anime is special and a masterpiece . |
| When you stop criticizing others because they don't share your taste. |

SomeRandomNerd said: @BurningSpirit That's true. The reason I created this topic is because that exact thing interests me - why and how do people classify other people in this community? Everyone has different opinions and personalities and there's no need to classify them, but terms like "casual" "noob" and "shit taste" seem to be quite prevalent, and often are used to invalidate opinions based on factors like what anime they like, how much they have seen, etc. Exactly. This false sense of exclusivity and the constant newbie hazing is what what pushes a lot of people who watch anime into not associating with the ''anime community" at all. |

SomeRandomNerd said: Yes that's why SAO was in my top 10 5 years ago lol.@Jare4lopez Absolutely. As I mentioned earlier everything seems novel when you're new to the genre and flaws pass by unnoticed. |
| I don't know and I don't give a shit either. Honestly I think you stop being a ''noob'' when you have a greater understanding of the medium, meaning what different genres are and all that stuff. |

SomeRandomNerd said: @potatobuurr I've been watching for a little over a year and feel like a smol bean :D >Been at anime longer than I. >I've watched more shows lol But in all honesty it seems to be a given term that only lasts as long as you determine. |
I'm a shitposter for fun |
| When you're too good at shitposting on MAL; albeit you stopped using stuff like "lulz you have a shit taste because you didn't like what I watched" Or, when you're too good at shitposting on MAL AD/CD, proof can seen when you're already banned more than once. |

| After competing 100 animes of different varieties... That's my opinion |
| If you're stupid and uninterested in learning and adapting your opinion no amount of experience will save you from being a pleb. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
DEAD_ID69 said: Well said there are people who have watched less than 50 anime and have a better understanding of the medium than most of those 1000+ watchers.I'm sorry but there's no such thing as anime noob. If you think having watched more anime means you're superior then you're probably not too intelligent. |
 |
| For an anime noob to git gud, he must first learn to get rekt. Take him out of his comfort zone and throw him off the cliff into a dense forest of anime he's never seen. Only by surpassing this mysterious forest can he evolve from being an anime noob. Otherwise, he shall be stuck forever within the small confines of his anime safehouse and never develop outside of the safety of what he is most comfortable with. |
 |
| You're not a "noob" anymore once you've watched 1,000 anime. |
 Three things cannot be long hidden.. ...the s u n, the m oo n, and the tr u th. |
| When they realise the word noob is fucking awful. |
 |
| honestly the only non noob anime watcher is spacecowboy thats it everyone else is a noob |

| when they stop making broad generalizations about anime or think only this amount of mainstream anime is unique and the rest are all shit, or stupidly complain about seasonals yet do nothing to change their persperctive there are people who have 500+ completed yet still think like this so /shrug |
| It's good that Slop leveling won the CR awards with such a power gap, Gaijin Weebs don't deserve good anime. Not after what they did to frieren, kusuriya, and many others |
| also >but also how users seem to get full of themselves thinking they know a lot more than they actually do |

joker_04 said: In my opinion is when they realize their favorite anime is not that good as they think. Example: I love Dragon Ball, all the seasons, but I now is not that good as I thought it was years ago. Sometimes it is not that, it could simple mean that your interest in a specific genre has decline throughout the years. for eg, I was a big battle shounen fan when I was younger, but now I'm more into mystery/thriller series. |
I know, but I still believe that's the turning point. |

| After 50-80 days watched. After that point you have probably seen most of the "core" classics, or at least heard about them, and have at least a general familiarity with most genres. If you have seen a wide variety of shows you need less, if you have watched just a few long running ones you may need more. |
Jare4lopez said: Haha, SAO is still one of my favorites because at the time I had seen fewer than 10 anime. Now, even after close to 150 shows, I still highly regard even though I know its obvious flaws.SomeRandomNerd said: Yes that's why SAO was in my top 10 5 years ago lol.@Jare4lopez Absolutely. As I mentioned earlier everything seems novel when you're new to the genre and flaws pass by unnoticed. |
 We can only have good tea while we're alive. |
| After a year depending on how much anime they've seen and explored different genres. Though quanta isn't everything. I generally think of people as noobs when they are over excited about everything but still don't know shit. Noobs should be humble. Knowing much about japanese society isn't really a given considering it's anime as a medium we're into, not society as a whole. But for most interest comes naturally after watching anime. |
| "In this world, evil can arise from the best of intentions. And there is good which can come from evil intentions" |
| I don't think it's about how many you watch as much as when you develop your personal tastes and are able to judge a series both from your personal degree of enjoyment but also from a more objective and technical point of view. This comes obviously with time\exposure to anime but it also depends on your personal growth as a person, a watcher and an observer. 100 or 1000 it's not really the point imho. |
