I want to create a "7 Step Guide to Becoming A Pro Weeb" or just "How to become a weeb". I would like your help to gather some ideas.

Let's say someone who knows nothing about anime/normie and you want to turn them into a weeb, what would you say to them??. It can be serious advice or humorous/ironic. I've only been watching anime for a year now and I don't read manga so I can't say I'm a veteran yet. What are some of the things you started doing only after you became a weeb? what are the things only weebs understand?? what are the goods and bads of becoming a weeb??.

This is what I came up with (random order);
- Watch the long running shows at the start
- Don't read comments
- Don't do cringy Tik Toks
- Don't skip anime openings
- Change your social media profile picture to one of the anime characters
- Imagine yourself getting hit by a truck and reincarnated in another world etc.

Please give me some ideas!! Thank You.

Don't cut off the pron consumption but you need to replace at least 70% of it to hentai.

Don't respect other people's opinions on anime,or else you are just an insecure bitch

Pick one anime that you would defend with your life, and be willing to cut off any relationship with someone who doesn't like it

Now now, becoming a veteran weeb isn't that hard. To all you weeblets, it's very simple. All you have to do is:

-Stop watching anime
-Do nothing but complain about how you've stopped watching anime

With this simple process, you too can get your veteran card and stand above others as you long for the days when you could watch more than an episode of anime per week.

Fuck I miss anime.

Hate one or two of the most famous animes and then proclame that your favorite anime, which no fcking one knows about, It's better than others. Do the same with mangas and waifus. To become a pro weeb You have to at least waste 10h per day in this forum and others anime forums aswell.

It seems like I'm trolling but I swear most of the self proclaimed "pro weebs" do it.

The fake is of far greater value. In its deliberate attempt to be real, it's more real than the real thing.

I don't believe I'm a veteran weeb or anything, but I think I've certainly seen enough anime to at least able to offer some don'ts:

-Do NOT watch long-running series at the start: Long-running series are very tiresome, especially when they have lots of fillers. Better start with shorter stuff, such as series with 12 eps. max, or even better, movies - Ghibli movies being a particularly good starting point. Leave long-running shows for later, after you've developed some patience for longer shows: that is the best getting used to longer shows path would be Movies -> 12 eps. max shows -> 26 eps. max shows -> 50-60 eps. max shows -> everything longer.
-Do NOT engage with anime communities at the start, especially if you're easily influencable by others. I personally started watching anime by myself and didn't engage in any anime community until last year and I had been watching anime for a while before that. This led to me developing a quite unique taste, and in fact I often find high-rated shows less enjoyable than their rating would suggest, and the inverse. Following the trends of the masses might not be helpful in discovering the anime you'll truly enjoy as an individual.
-In the same vein, do NOT take reviews and hype about anime seriously, especially when it comes to on-going ones. To my experience, a lot of good anime is slept on, and a lot of bad anime is hyped to no end. Find your own taste by yourself.

And some do's:
-DO skip anime OPs and EDs. Watch them the first time, but if you don't like them enough, feel free to skip them - those precious few minutes amassed can be used to watch more anime. In the same vein skip repeating footage in anime e.g. transformation sequences after watching it the 1st time. And if you want to skip filler, also feel free to do so.
-DO drop shows if you don't like them enough, you shouldn't suffer through stuff you don't like when you could be watching stuff you actually enjoy instead.
-DO take breaks from anime from time to time, occupying yourself with other hobbies instead, as to avoid anime burnout.

P.S. In case this wasn't evident, unlike most of the other posts, this is actually serious advice - it's what I do in regards to anime.

Fun fact: there is actually an anime kinda like that already: it's called Otaku no Video. Haven't watched it myself, but plotwise it seems to be about a normal guy becoming an otaku, and also features interviews with otakus.

Watch anime
Watch even more anime
Watch anime to the extent that all the anime-isms start to piss you off and you start to crave some novelty and originality
Express this sentiment
Get called a pretentious hater
Watch anime
Rediscover your love of simpler shows

Repeat this on loop till you die and maybe do the same for manga idk.

- watch whatever anime you like
- ignore MAL scores
- go to MAL forums to defend your waifu/favorite character when necessary
- never use these: "the manga was better", "the adaptation was made only to promote the manga/LN"

Wow nicely said...
Few things I want to add:
Try watching long running show along with shorter series... (Only if you are interested in that)
Don't try to binge long running shows, you will lose interest of everything...
Try to read manga/Light novel they are beautiful... And moreover developing a reading hobby is always good...
As above user said don't go with the flow, try to have your own taste, and most important of all "Enjoy watching anime"...

-Watch old animev if you're tired of new anime.
-Never say an anime is generic instead talk about the tropes the anime executed outstandingly and the tropes that anime executed poorly
-Never care about ratings
-Never spoil Manga events that didn't happened in the anime-add spoiler tag
-Respect other's opinions
-No such thing as good or bad taste only opinions.
-If you were aware that you were being toxic in an argument,apologize
Watching long running shows at the start maybe tiresome.You should try watching from 13 episodes and then slowly increase your episode count number by 25,so on and so forth

For me a weeb means that you are really obsessed in things related to Japan. Anime, manga, Japanese songs..etc you treat yourself like a Japanese.

You appreciate all things related to Japan. And you have passion and loved for them.

-Watch other genres if you've started on battle shounen. You'll get bored of it soon enough. Same goes when you are over-indulging yourself in one specific genre.
-Having a planned/scheduled watch time is better than not having one at all. If you have a job or in school, its a must do/have.
-If you are planning to watch a lot of shows, save some good shows that you havent watched that you feel that you'll like. These shows will come to use if you are in a burnout. It can replenish your love for anime, especially if you are not a fan of rewatching.

^^These are actually legit advice, especially the DON'Ts.
I remember binging OP & Detective Conan back then like theres no tomorrow.
Looking back, i regret watching those shows.(OP manga is better by a mile.)

I started entering anime discussions/forums a year after i started watching anime.
Bcoz of that, i developed taste & liking on SOL shows, considering i never watched SOL shows b4 i take anime watching as a hobby.

Also, i dont watch popular airing shows like the time that JJK, AOT S4, & Demon Slayer aired. I preferably watch them at a different time.
People saying its the best anime & you cant help but get your hopes up bcoz of the reviews & hype. & when you start to watch/finish it, its not even close to be the best & u'll end up becoming disappointed.

This, embrace the moe (ie shows such as Yuru Yuri, Hidamari Sketch & GochiUsa).

Also, buy a damakiura of your favourite waifu. Some people on this site have suggested that you need to also take a cringe pic with a fedora and your dakimakura, but that just sounds weird to me.
