How hardcore is your fandom?

[Koopaking]

A common stereotype about us anime fans is that we are all obnoxious people with no life who hate anyone who doesn't like anime and are general asshats. If you want to know what I mean, look at anyone on 4chan.

How much of an anime fan are you? How much anime do you watch? Are you actually a normal person? To what lengths do you take your fandom? Let's see how many users on Anime Fuel are sane people.

Myself, I think that I fall into the hardcore category fan who doesn't do much other than watch anime a lot. Well of course I play video games too. Why else would I work here if i wasn't devoted?

I have been pretty much watching anime on TV as long as it has been coming on. And it wasn't until last year I discovered the wonderful world of online anime viewing, which I am now completely absorbed in. I used to average about 2 26 episode series a week, but now its about 1 a week, with my helping this great site and all.

One thing is that not many people really know me as an anime fan. I am better well known for my Nintendo fandom, which now I think is surpassed by my anime fandom. I like to go to conventions, and I have sometimes chewed out people who say anime is stupid and for kids. I'm not one of those people who say other people aren't "fan enough" because they don't have some set number of anime paraphernalia.

In general, I think that the anime community is filled with really friendly people sharing a common interest. It's easy to go to a convention and end up having conversations and debates with strangers about anime, and making friends with them. Same thing goes for communities like this. Those 4chan douchebags give anime communities a bad name.

As you requested I am posting here. I fall just a step below hardcore. I wath anime whever I can and I have several manga. Not as much as I would like because lack of money limits me. However I watch anime whenever I have the chance to. I'm not an asshat and I don't hate people who hate anime as long as their not bashing it. Then I launch into definsive mode about how there is nothing wrong with anime. The past three days I've been watching spice and wolf, Girls Bravo, and Vampire knight. I'm having a hard time here recently so i couldn't watch as much as I wanted to but my time just freed up so I'm at it again. I still do other things like read and go to a few non anime relted websites.

I am not an Otaku. I do not go crazy over anime. I do love watching it but thats it. No cosplay, no conventions, no forums, just watching.
