>>288607569This has happened to me, every show I named they said they didn't know what it was and I was like well you do now and then they named normalfag shows.
>>288607599>>288607622This. If people still hid their powerlevels and never talked about 4chan none of this shit would have ever happened. Now look at us.

>>288607631A 19 year old at my job made a Boku no Pico joke, I couldn't believe it.
>>288607569I don't talk to anyone offline so this wouldn't happen to me.

>>288607569>what kind of anime you're intoS-Shonen, obviously! Who would unironically watch moeshit? Haha...
>>288607569>How do you respond?Precure
>>288607569>What kind of anime are you into?>I like Naruto, Bleach, and Dragonball>Ayo no way. You aight whiteboy>New Drake album plays>I start breakdancing>Black guys at work start beatboxing>They don't know I'm actually a disgusting otaku
I make sure to proactively tell people that my favorite manga is about perverted lesbian schoolgirls playing with vomit and eating bugs.
>>288607599This. It's a waste of time to talk about anime with people IRL when 99% of the population of my country are retards who can't even speak English. They can't realistically develop into well educated weebs when they're stuck with 3 translated anime and are completely incapable of watching, reading or playing anything made in Japan.
>>288607569if you talk with normalfags you are most likely one yourself and should not worry about exposing to them your honest normalfags self
>>288608508I work for my city's parks department and am surrounded by a mix of late middle-aged normal guys and goofy late teen/early 20s part-timers, anon. The deepest they go is popular vidya like CoD or Pokemon card hustle culture shit.

I've never been asked that. One Piece did come up with a coworker though but I try to avoid talking about that kind of thing, especially since this person is into battle shonen stuff pretty much exclusively as far as I can tell (from hearing him talk with some other people) and he also wasn't caught up with One Piece when this happened.
>>288607569>talking to normalfagsI would just ignore them. It's best to keep their infestation contained without any contacts what so ever.

>>288607569>How do you respond?"I don't watch anime, that shit's gay".
>>288607599"Who's Gojo" response
>>288607599>What's an eemay?FTFY
>>288607569The good one.
>>288607569"Anime is for kids."
>>288607569Show pantsu.
>>288607569old good new bad
>>288608002Why were you talking to a child
>>288607599>>288607622>>288607648>>288608476That might have worked 20 years ago but not in the current year. Everyone knows what anime is, it's practically mainstream.
>>288610952I don't
>>288607569If it's a normie crowd and they just ask what I like I just say I like One Piece, because I really do like One Piece. If it's an actual anime fan crowd I just say my favorite is The Tatami Galaxy.
>>288607569I say I mostly watch slice of life and comedies now, which is true, and I don't volunteer any more details. I have some I can recommend if they ask follow-ups that are normalfag-friendly. Nobody asks follow-ups. Nobody actually cares. They just want to tell you that they like some shonenslop that's popular, and for you to agree, but they know that it's rude to just come out and start talking about their shonenslop without at least asking if the other person is interested first. Asking any questions of you is just an icebreaker so they can get to say whatever it is they want to say. Since I'm surely not interested in what they want to say, I try to speed the process along as much as possible.
>>288608134Why do you live in a university lecture room?
>>288607569Dragon Ball Z
>>288608311Ya sha-sha'd that pretty smoothly
>>288607569"I don't watch a lot of anime. I mostly read manga". The conversation dies right there. It's foolproof.
>>288607569I'm watching Granzort, Gulliver Boy, and Yuusha no Kuzu right now. My favorite anime is Ninja Slayer.
I'm a 4chan level otaku. I don't talk with you chumps in anime club, I don't read your "anime magazine" with new releases I saw two years ago. I don't need to go to a club full of fat smelly people to watch Full Metal Alchemist all over again. I've got fuckin' live feed torrents of the newest animes you haven't even hear of, and figures from said anime being shipped to my house so I can masturbate on them. Go read your "yowie" on fanfiction.net, I'm downloading loli dojinshi and reading the fucking raws.You keep wearing your naruto headbands and shit, socializing with your weeaboo friends. I'll be walking by, Anonymous. You'll never know that the master of anime had passed you by, because I suppress my power level.
>>288607569>>288607599I have no interest in talking about anime, manga or other otaku interests with normalfags.
>>288612104>animes
>>288612104>Go read your "yowie" on fanfiction.net, I'm downloading loli dojinshi
>>288607569Once at work, I saw a coworker had his Death Note notebook, but I didn't say anything to him, even though I had already watched the anime twice and read the entire manga by that point.Then another day, when I saw that guy talking to a girl about Death Note, even though I was standing a meter away, I played dumb and didn’t say anything; I didn’t join the conversation and acted like I hadn’t heard a thing.I’ve only talked about anime IRL once, but very briefly, at a literature book club when we were reading a manga. But I only mentioned Shingeki no Kyojin, Yakusoku no Neverland, and Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, though I used them as an analogy to what we’d read, referencing themes of certain universal values. I didn’t talk about anime anymore after that.I also have a /lit/ power level that I hide from normalfags, which I only discuss with people who know about books.
>>288607569Whatever's popular or interesting, I'll check them out.I don't carry that baggage with me wherever I go.
>>288607569Just pretend I only know popular battle shounen, easy.
>>288607569No one has ever asked me that. I even went to a gathering of anime fans once, and no one asked me; they just started talking about Naruto and other trendy stuff. And there were some people doing cosplay, and of course, it was from super popular series. I never went to a gathering like that again, I felt really out of place.
>>288607599There gotta be a prize for the best post of the year, and I would nominate this one.
>>288608476>do you know english>what's english?It works every time.
>>288610952>yeah I've seen Spirited Beyond and other Jaibli films or whatever they're called, but that's about itIt's easy to hide your powerlevel
>>288607569>Anime presents unrealistic expectations of feminine beauty, I will only watch shows where the main girl is 8 or less
Why are you guys so afraid of making friends?
>>288613337
>I will not share>I will not be vulnerable>I will not be hurt
>>2886133373d relationships are overrated garbage.
>>288613336>8 or lessOnly chuds and terminally online incels refer to people by their attractive score. You're giving yourself away.
>Yeah I do watch some anime from time to time. Last I saw was Pluto it was amazing. It's about robot detective and it's on Netflix, go check it out bro.
>>288607569Spit my cigarette and hold a handstand for as long as i could without answering
>>288613359You know what? Why can't we all be friends here?
>>288613723
>>288607569Normalfags dont speak to me
>>288613337Real people and real relationships are disgusting.
>>288607599fpbp
>>288613632Hurt people hurt people, nothing changes if nothing changes
>>288607569I immediately reveal my power level and shut them up
Normal people my age won't ask me that and I don't talk to dumb zoomers who have only watched shonen shit anyway.
>>288612263New
>>288607569Why does this boring girl keep getting new anime series?
>>288607569Slice of life comedies.
>>288607599How does this retarded post get so many replies? Only a hermit nowadays wouldn't know what anime is. This is the worst reply you could give. The safest would be "I don't watch it much, I guess I liked DBZ as a kid"
>>288613683This is both safe and qualitative
>>288612046Why does manga filter normalfags so much? Lack of imagination?
>>288617441Reading is hard, also the reason they use dubs
>>288607569Almost every kind of it which is true.The issue is that I don't watch adaptations that I don't know the source material of so I'm not on a lot of hype boats like, say, Frieren.
>>288617565>FrierenFOMO shit. One of the most boring anime I've ever watched. So boring I passively dropped it because I forgot about the new episodes coming out.
>>288617226A hermit would be more likely to know what anime is by virtue of being on the internet all day long. Maybe the Amish are a better fit here.
>>288607569I'll answer:Made in Abyssthen they stop talking to me
>The last anime I watched was Puniru like a year agoYeah I'm not telling.
>>288617688>then they stop talking to meOnly because they don't know about it and think that anyone who doesn't only watch ultra mainstream is a weirdo freak.
>>288608395Okay, I'll bite. Which manga is that?
>>288608395>favorite mangaNobody will ever ask you that
>>288617786Kitanai Kimi ga Ichiban Kawaiienjoy(?)
>>288617719>PuniruGood taste.
>>288617821This one made me so mad because I kept expecting the victim to eventually snap and bounce back in SOME form but no she just keeps going down
>>288607569>Normalfags irl ask you>How do you respond?Why would I respond?
>>288608134BARRY74 IS THAT YOU
>>288617954>victimit was obviously consensual
i am the one who asks what anime they're into
>>288607569Shoujo Ramune
>>288607569Avatar
>>288607569>How do you respond?Boku no Pico.
>I just watch whatever's on Netflix
>>288607569Walk away. Why am I talking to a normalfag?
>>288607569Boku no pico
>>288607569Normal anime that doesn’t feature any pedo incest diddy ahh shit. Mostly shonen like DBZ, One Piece, and FMAB.
>>288607569I'm not into it that much, only if something really interests me. But I can enjoy a variety of things.
>>288620062Based shonenchad.
>>288607569Dragon Ball Z (lie) Ashita no Joe and other sport anime
>>288620838Truly normalfags post
>>288610952Works just fine, because if they take it as a lie then it still signals that you have no interest in the conversation and them, and if they take it at face value then it simply shuts down the conversation.
>>288607569Dragon Ball Z (actually true but in the past)
>>288613723Every single person I’ve met from 4chan IRL has been unlikable and has the social awareness of a sloth. I’m not saying I’m much better but it’s like they lack the self-awareness or don’t care that they’re retarded.
>>288613723Because you're all fucking weirdos with no tact.I am sure there are better people on here, but given the low number of users on this site and the high proportion of Americans I doubt I'll ever run into another decent anon in real life.I don't think any of the people I know that use this website know that I do.
>>288617226>what's "anime?">oh do you mean "an I'm?" isn't that how you pronounce it?
>>288607569Akagi, Kaiji and Mobile Suit Gundam
>>288621995Would seem to me any decent anon is going to hide his power level to a point where there simply is no possibility of meeting someone from here, so the only people from here that you would have a chance of meeting are the worst and most sociopath trannies and retards.
>>288613337Because I'm schizoid.
>>288607569The other day I was at Mcdonalds drive through and the guy saw my upside down copy of Re:zero on my passenger seat and told me I had good taste. I had to fight the urge to say "I love Emilia" to him and said something boring and forgettable instead. I don't even like Emilia that much either.
When in doubt, I just tell people I like Evangelion. It is, relatively, widely known, and the way they talk about the show is a good litmus test for how much they actually like anime.
>>288607569I have almost 800 anime entries in anilist and i would just pretend i only watched the most mainstream shit like shingeki no kyojin and say i dont watch animeModern anime fans are cancer, just like the medium became cancer
>>288624585>the way they talk about the show is a good litmus test for how much they actually like anime.How so?
>>288624852I mean, some expected responses to mentioning the show could be:>I don't know what that is>I've never seen that before>I liked Evangelion>That show sucked because X and Y>That show was great because of X and Y>Shinji is a bitch>Anno is a hack>Anno is a genius>The Rebuilds suck>>30 yearsI don't know, it is a show that is watched by people who've been watching anime since the 90's, and people who started last year, and both groups have people who love and hate it. In that way, the person's approach to Eva is likely going to be a good tell on what they enjoy and expect out of anime.
>>288617441Takes up space. You gotta go and get a physical thing and then store it forever. People have enough clutter in their lives. And if you're gonna read it digitally, it's just a low framerate anime anyway without sound. Just watch the anime instead.
>>288617631Okay zoomer.
>>288625059And when you told normalfags that you liked Evangelion, what responses did you get?
>>288607569Depends. I'd probably probe them to see how normalfag they actually are before I start answering more honestly.
>>288617688>Maiden AbyssYeah, that sounds weird.>>288618103So what anime are they into?
>>288626751Almost always "yeah, I've heard of that one," so I knew who I was dealing with after that
I was asked this today. I think he was hiding his power level a bit.
>>288628372What made you think that?
>>288607569I start with normalfag-friendly basic stuff like Black Lagoon, Kino no Tabi and Katanagatari. If thats their level, those are always decent recommendations without having to explain my enduring love for gay anime girls.
