AHAHAHAAHA!

[squirrl]

 

 

i truly do not understand how that is possible, i have watched my fair share of anime, and at this point i have a sincerely hard time finding series to watch, there is so much mediocre junk out there, not to mention everyone doesn't like every theme, i have to call bullshit on 99% of people saying they have watched more than 500 different series.

That's true. I've watched most of the popular ones that i find interesting and i'm working my way through the lesser known ones and new ones, but there's a lot of rubbish too. There's the odd one that someone recommends and i find really good though. I guess that's what i can rely on the club here for

[GloriousPain]

I can safely confirm I'm nearing 2000 hours.... If not already over the number... 

Detective Conan.... 

I'm at nearly 2550 hours thank god for MALs calculator 

[Admiaczking]

probably 60 different animes

[TheProfosist]

I'll quote @yurihellsing for this one. There are different type of anime fans, those who go to conventions are usually in the obnoxious otaku group...

 

Part 2: The Fans

 

It’s fair to say a good percent of them are idiots it’s the same as with any other fanbase most of them tend to be idiots if they’re not constantly apologising for the mistakes of the companies they’re acting more like fans of the company that provides the product instead of the product its self. Come on people we are customers and consumers we deserve better than what we get at the moment when we see better products elsewhere do we not buy elsewhere?  And if said product has restrictions on in like region coding do we not look for ways to get around it? But because of the apologists it’s only the minority that buy elsewhere or look for ways around the restrictions. 

Then there are the problem fans and these can be split in to three groups 

Group 1; often they’re a little too hyper, adding random Japanese into their speech, and generally not knowing how stupid they look at times you could just put that down to them being the other kind of socially awkward but seriously they’re not the best ambassadors for what I’d like to call the scene but whatever you call it they’re just irksome at most (for reference check any western video of “caramelldansen” in public.)

Group 2; you could easily just say they’re the complete polar opposite of the above but there’s more to them. They’re mostly secretive about their hobby/interest some to the point that they don’t even want their family knowing so yeah they’re the sort who’s only collection is all on Hard Drives. Well there really isn’t much to say about them as they don’t do enough for there to be anything to note.

 

(This is about all I got to say about the fans so far may end up adding more)

 

Group 3; 

 

 

There are alot of us closet anime fans that no one would suspect to be a anime watcher like me. We're just hidden really well, no traces on social media no nothing.

or the kinda that watch an anime aor two and just realy come to party in their room or go to the rave while possibly checking out the vendor room. <-- a waste of a convention if you ask me.

i truly do not understand how that is possible, i have watched my fair share of anime, and at this point i have a sincerely hard time finding series to watch, there is so much mediocre junk out there, not to mention everyone doesn't like every theme, i have to call bullshit on 99% of people saying they have watched more than 500 different series.

I can nearly guarantee that I have between movies, OVA's, series, etc. It became too many long ago that I never really kept track. I think it comes from the time once the next series or season is now a new anime when in the past this wasnt the case I mean just watching what currently available for initial D would be ~10 anime right there.

As for yo unot finding good stuff to watch I can likely help with that. Also I dont know when you started watching but have watched older stuff that has laid the ground work for what is today's anime. Below is a link to a picture that is a decent representation of anime you should check out.

A lot of people hate fun

I didn't calculate anything, I just made a rough guess.

same and im lazy

[TopWargamer]

Good thing MAL keeps track of this for me.

 

So it says I have 15.8 days logged of watching anime. So let's multiply that by 24...and I got 379.2 (hours).

 

Here's my anime list by the way.

[Vitalius]

I grew up around Anime (older brother ran a HUGE anime site in 90s/2000s) so I know the crowd well (been to many many conventions) and my words are pretty right on lol

Well, that's to be expected. 

By simple probability, it's likely you met/knew the people who would be into such things. 

People who go to conventions are people who are deep into anime. People who are deep into anime have likely brushed up against such things and said either "I like it." or "I don't." and acted accordingly. 

People who don't are more likely to not go to such conventions for obvious reasons. 

In other words, you probably met that segment of anime lovers, and took it to represent everyone who loves anime. Midget porn is disturbing too, but just because it exists doesn't mean anybody who enjoys shows with midgets in them is a disturbing person. Or that shows with midgets in them are screwed up themselves by default.

I mean, I watch the Hobbit or Lord of the Rings and enjoy it, but that doesn't mean I'm like the people who watch that stuff. Or those two movies are like that porn.

I would link mine, but I didn't know about MAL two years ago when I started watching anime.

So according to MAL I've watched 132 hours.

[ACatWithThumbs]

There should be the option : To much

[Le Lion de Barreras]

I've honestly lost count but so far the only ones I'm watching so far are Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. Akame ga Kill! and Sword Art Online II.

[TheProfosist]

0. I don't find it fun.

All praise Top Gear

hey now ive been a fan of top gear for nearly as long.

There should be the option : To much

There is never too much

[linusforsell]

What the hell? Wow, I have never seen a Swede watch so much Anime.

 

Oh boy, I'm pretty sure I'm a fairly mild case, and I keep it to myself – much like most others – it just happens to be one of the few hobbies I can enjoy without wasting energy. 

I've always found it a bit creepy with all the people who have to go to conventions and completely fan-out about things, though (which goes for all things, not just anime). I enjoy it greatly, but I would never take it beyond a passive hobby.

[elecxonica]

Honestly, the most I've seen has been part of death note. This also reminds me I have to watch more anime.

[DigitalHermit]

You called?

 

Clocking over 2000 hours is easy if you started at around 5th grade and developed some skill to make time for some anime...

 

If we were to count manga, light novels, visual novels, and related games, I think I'd have several hundred more added...

 

I'm just disappointed that there's no "OVER 9000 HOURS" option...

You don't need to go to conventions and fanboying usually comes with moving work... Personally, I go to conventions since it's the easy method to get merchandise and meet (legal) lolis people witht the same hobby...

[Sky Daddy]

Only started watching anime this year, needless to say I've already finished 21 anime series in that time. (only 1-2 season shows though)

[Randomacts]

I can safely confirm I'm nearing 2000 hours.... If not already over the number... 

Detective Conan.... 

 

Heaven Society

 

Let's give this thread some love.

In the slightly over a year since I have starting watching anime I have watched 1392 hours of anime... or 23 days, 12 hours and 7 minutes of anime.

 

MAL

 

hummingbird 

 

The best date I can get on when I started watching anime is "2013-06-29 02:03:48 (1 year and 1 month and 8 days)" .. just a day or so before that is when I started. =P

 

 

A year before that I played my first VN because .. I don't need any damn logic.

[Horrorfull]

So much anime I can't even recall all of them. My favorites are Oreimo, A certain(index,railgun) series, Nisekoi, and Beyond the Boundary (Knk).

Then there's the "given" favorites such as FMA,SNK, and DBZ. Also Pokemon Advance Generations.

 

Hentai wise. ∞ amount of time watching it. 

[StingBull]

42 grams.

[tobben]

That's true. I've watched most of the popular ones that i find interesting and i'm working my way through the lesser known ones and new ones, but there's a lot of rubbish too. There's the odd one that someone recommends and i find really good though. I guess that's what i can rely on the club here for

the odd ones are usually the best ones, but they are few and far apart, the there certainly is alot of rubbish but it's well worth it to find those few gems,

well i don't really count ova's specials or generally anything of 1-4 episodes that isn't standalone, and people tend to say series/shows or something along those lines i don't think that includes movies, if anything id say any movie/ova that belongs to a show as spinoff/sequel/prequel or the like would fall under that series to say that you have watched the entirety of it.

 

i generally watch anything and everything that even has the slightest possibility of interesting me, be it it GTO, Planetes, nodame cantabile, Yuyu Hakusho, Detroit metal city (hilarious), battle programmer shirase, Jinrui wa suitai Shimashita, Nisha Rokubou no Shichinin, hakuto no ken, trigun or any other show, i even try to finish the ones i dislike, the only reason i ever do anything other than watching anime is because i don't find enough anime to watch.

 

now arguably that might be because i'm bad at searching, certainly there is alot of good anime that i have yet to watch, but finding them in the piles of haystacks takes a long time, atleast for me, and every anime doesn't click with every person, i might actually be able to grab a few from that list, thanks.

[c3p0]

Hm enough that I understand some basic japanese words. Let's be fair I'd say around 250 hours.

 

S.A.O

Clannad

Clannad 2 (Afterstory)

Deadmen Wonderland

Halloween

Death Note

Spirited Away

InuYasha

OnePiece

Serial Experiments Lain

Angel Beats

Another (Субтитры) (Don't watch it at night, it will scare the living crap out of you)

 

... more and more (don't kill me)

I hope yo ucan and thsoe lists are a bit outdated so if yo uneed some newer suggestion let me know as there have been a few in recent years that have struck a cord with me.

Blasphemy!

 

I started at around 2007 from some lesser known ones (Da Capo, etc.) alongside Gundam Seed... Some of what you would call 'junk' might actually have some really good source material (The Da Capo Visual Novel was great)... I'd recommend digging that little bit deeper when searching for stuff...

 

There are some anime that are based on visual novels like Fate/Stay Night, Clannad, Air, Shuffle, Kanon, School Days, etc... Sometimes the source material is better than the anime adaptation (i.e. Kotomi's Arc in the Clannad Visual Novel was better executed than what was shown in the anime)... Other times that source material can be worse (fortunately, I haven't encountered something like this yet)... There are also some that are adapted from light novels (Oreimo, Mahouka, SAO, etc.)... Stuff that come from the light novels are usually hit or miss (I'm looking at you OreShura)...

 

A good technique for searching would be the genre tags... This would easily define your tastes and make looking for that next anime that you will love that much easier...

 

There's also using the animation studio to determine how an anime might go (unreliable)... i.e. Shaft animating Nisekoi (Shaft's style is not fit for rom-coms imo but what they did on Nisekoi made it that much better)...

 

But the best technique imo is watching the first 3 episodes then deciding on whether to finish it or to drop it... If you dropped a series, you'd want to look around for opinions/reviews of the series then return to it if you feel like it (this was how I found Madoka)...

 

also @tobben, I'm approaching that number if you count each season and ovas separately...

[tobben]

well yes, i can easily see that about the source material being true, but i do anime as a standalone thing, i only judge the anime for the anime itself, some might see it as shallow, some might not even comprehend it, but i view it differently.

I see... I usually encourage people to look into the source material if they have the time... It's available in English somwhere in the internet...

 

I just think it's unfair to judge something with only one aspect of it... But still, to each his own...

Ahh Nodame Cantabile... that one was golden.

^Especially if it was popular. I assist with getting source material translated and quality controlled to people for reading.
