Are you an anime fan if you started with Pokemon/Dragonball in 1998/1997? or whenever? What is the cutoff for "being an anime fan then?" subs? VHS? Etc
>>282460379The cutoff is right before you started. Sorry.
>>282460379I don’t think you can consider yourself an anime fan if either of those are the only anime series you’ve seen.
>>282460379There is no cutoff.Someone who started watching anime last year, but has seen a good chunk of classic works and can, you know, actually talk about them beyond "I like when X happened" or "I dislike when X happened" would be way more of an anime fan than someone who has been 'watching' since the 80s but never leaves their comfort zone and only talks in such basic terms.
>>282460379I had cousins who were into anime at the time, I watched this stuff on cable in the early 2000s. I was only really 'in' when I watched Spirited Away in theatres. There was so little anime around that anyone who wanted to get into it was welcomed until after about 2005/10 or so.
>>282460379I'm a weeb. Straight UP.
>>282460379My first anime was Ronin Warriors.
>>282460379You have to be born in the 1900s.
>>282460379It doesn't matter how old are you or what are your favorite anime as long as you re not a fake fan who does crap like claiming to be shonen fan while at the same time you whine about fanservice.
>>282464111Which is why I prefer people who rarely watch anime but they re honest about it than fake weebs who are anti-loli, pro-localization, pro-censorship etc

>>282460379I started with both of those, and even started reading the DBZ manga in 2004, but I didn't actually look into anime as a whole until 2008 when To Love-Ru was airing.
>>282460379Please stop making these insecure threads dude
>>282460379Yes
There are zoomers with better taste than the dustiest of oldfags. Having watched anime for longer doesn't automatically give you better taste.
