Whats a kind of anime fan that you cant stand?

[Tsukiko]

Its just what the question says, whats a kind of anime fan that you cant stand? or hate. You know, like rabid fans, yaoi fangirls, know it alls, etc......

The people that I hate are the ones that insult your favorite anime and say that theres is better than yours. So what about you guys? ^_^

[Lita]

Yeah i dont see the point in people saying that, you like what you like and they like what they like, theres no need to dis other people for the kind of anime that they like just because you disagree

But that wouldnt make me hate them :)

[Tsukiko]

Yeah, I guess I dont hate them. Sorry bout that. -_-;

[Leader Desslock]

I tried five ways of wording this diplomatically, but no matter how I word it, it's obvious I mean the same thing: Rabid EVA Fanboys. I don't like being flamed or told that I'm incapable of understanding something just because I don't happen to think it's the pinnacle of human creative expression. I'd feel the same way about the fans of any series, but it so happens that the Rabid EVA Fanboys have done this more than any other group. I haven't been flamed for not liking Gundam, DBZ, InuYasha or any other series with a rabid following. Only with Evangelion have I been openly flamed for not heaping sufficient praise upon it when I say "it's an okay series."

Another pet peeve: fans of a series who see the series for what they wish it to be, not what it was. People who think Spike lives, who think Ranma should've dumped Akane, who think that every little scrap of imagery in Evangelion is significant, who think that the story of what happens to Lucy at the end of Elfen Lied needs to be spelled out.... these people bug me. I honestly have to wonder what they like about the series they're so wrapped up in, because they're certainly not respecting the story that was told. They're judging the series for it's failure to meet their expectations, rather than its ability to tell the story the creator had in mind.

My least favorite subgroup of the above people would be the Out Of Character Fanfic Authors. In my opinion, these people should be rounded up, put on a barge, dragged out to deep, shark-infested waters, then torpedoed.

[Lord Timaeus]

Suethors, OOC yaoi shippers, etc. Not only do they not care enough to do their homework on the series they're writing their fics on, but clearly they think they're better than anyone else by adding in 'perfect' versions of themselves into their fics.

[Sushikins]

I agree completely with this statement. Aside from that, there are a few other types of fans who bother me, mostly ones who juge an anime based on edited dubs (One Piece), but aside from that they aren't really worth mentioning.

[soulreaper]

My least favorite subgroup of the above people would be the Out Of Character Fanfic Authors. In my opinion, these people should be rounded up, put on a barge, dragged out to deep, shark-infested waters, then torpedoed.

That ties in perfectly with my response: creepy yaoi fangirls of series that contain absolutely NO yaoi at all. No out-in-the-open yaoi, no hinted yaoi, no yaoi, period. And yet, despite all this, they insist on writing yaoi stories about characters from such series. My best example: I was flamed on the FMA board for saying that an EdxRoy pairing is disgusting and not possible at all. Immediately I was questioned about my masculinity, that I wasn't secure enough to admit that I secretly liked yaoi. Please, leave the yaoi to yaoi series. There are definitely enough of them.

Little known fact: most rabid yaoi fangirls are also crazed Inuyasha fans.

[FURUBA4EVER]

Surprisingly, I've come to be annoyed by newbie anime fans. Yes, you heard me. While I understand that we've all been there at some point, some of these newbie fans are hard to deal with...especially when they start acting superior even though they've only just recently gotten into anime. And, some of the things these newbie fans come up with...it's crazy. (If you're wondering, I have recenly dealt with a newbie fan...and it's not fun.) But...although newbies bug me, I don't hate them. -_-;

And I'd even say that some of these newbie fans are even worse than some fangirls I've seen...

[Tsukiko]

I have to agree with you about the Out Of Character fanfic authors. Sometimes they just creep me out. :unsure:

[Tsukiko]

Little known fact: most rabid yaoi fangirls are also crazed Inuyasha fans.


You know, Im a yaoi fangirl and ive never understood the whole Inuyasha thing....

[Levon]

The "I'm superior to you" type of fans. Someone once said I wasn't an anime fan because I like dubs, I wasn't offended actually, I felt sorry for him being so arrogant.

[Tsukiko]

Sorry about the whole "hate" thing, that was too strong of a word to use.

[Mordecai]

I can't stand the "I don't like it because it's popular" fans. <_<

[Ketaru]

With Desslock and Soulreaper on this one, I hate it when characters (especially my favorite characters) are written in a way that is so different from their origins. Even worse is when the OOC writers perpetuate it like it's true.

"relena, eeeewww nooo! Heero already has Duo! :) /glomp Heero/Duo and if u don't like it, your just a homophobe"

BLAAAAH!

Also, if anybody has read my post on how people think animation is childish in general, I also dislike it when anime fans alienate other forms of animation (American cartoons for instance) with rhetoric like "Anime is nothing like that. It's more mature because it's got sex, drugs, and j-pop." Disappoints me a little because other animations fans are really going to be the only ones that will truly understand you're not some weirdo just because you watch anime.

[Levon]

I can't stand fangirls that are jealous of anime girls having a relationship with a guy they are in love with. :lol:

[Lord Timaeus]

I can't stand fangirls that are jealous of anime girls having a relationship with a guy they are in love with. :lol:

Anime Commandment number 2: You are NOT <insert bishounen/bishoujo here>'s boy/girlfriend.

I should start writing those Anime Commandments soon, I've been contemplating them for weeks now...

[Tsukiko]

Ive got another one. Fans that will not admit when there wrong about something in anime or if they've gone too far. Like when they insult a character when other people may like him/her or says there favorite character is the best. Its so annoying... <_<

[Ketaru]

Anime Commandment number 2: You are NOT <insert bishounen/bishoujo here>'s boy/girlfriend.

I should start writing those Anime Commandments soon, I've been contemplating them for weeks now...

I'm interested in hearing these commandments thus far.

[soulreaper]

You know, Im a yaoi fangirl and ive never understood the whole Inuyasha thing....

Then you are vastly superior to many of the fans that I know.

[DazzleKitty]

Oh boy, I sure have a bunch.

Stupid fanboys and fangirls. I hate the yaoi fangirls that dislike anime females for no reason, same for fanboys. Sometimes the rabid fangirls can become very stupid with there way of typing "OMG Sesshy-kun ish teh mots kawaii bishie!!!!111111!!11!". I despise yuri fanboys that are very closed-minded to yaoi (I encounter more of these than I encounter females bashing yuri). Fangirls I have seen tend to be cheap and refuse to buy things because it's translated 'badly' or dubbed.
I also hate whiney fanboys who complain about a shoujo anime having too many bishounen (yes, I encounter this a lot). Really, it's shoujo. What do you expect? There are plenty of anime out there with bishoujo (about 5 times as more than ones with cute guys). The anime with bishounen pales in comparison to the amount of ones with bishoujo.

I also hate the fans that just become totally engrossed in their hobby to the point of becoming some weirdo (aka the real version of 'otaku', not just the American definiton of it, I mean the Japanese one). They start using Japanese in their typing (and I assume everyday language too). They also complain about translations always being wrong when they themselves don't even know the lanuage. If they had it their way, the'd probably have all manga and subs in romanji (?). They feel like they have to be more Japanese, and only eat Japanese foods, talk their way, etc. It's fine if you really like it, but if you do it because of your obssession...it just annoys me for some reason. I don't know why, but it really does. Does it make me a hypocrite that I want to learn the language because of anime? I can't really explain my point of view on it. It's too complex for my mind to put into words.

I also hate elitists that bash those who like dubs.

[Tsukiko]

The type of yaoi fangirls that really irritate me are the rabid yaoi fangirls that attack me for liking a pairing thats not yaoi.

Ugh, these are the type of people that got yaoi pairings out of Beyblade. :blink:

[IAmTacoSalad]

People who like Shonen Jump.
Oh snap!

[Ketaru]

People who like Shonen Jump.
Oh snap!

What's Shonen Jump again?

[skyr]

I am also a Yaoi fangirl that isn't to fond of Inyuasha. I never have been, something just urks me about it.
As to the OOC fanfictions, I almost completely agree. I do understand picturing some of your favorite (even if masculine) bishounen together because you think they would look cute together. But going so far as to think that there's a /chance/ that it might actually happen in the anime/manga? Err, no.

What I really don't like are people who will get mad at you for not having read the whole series yet (or what's out so far). I know a few and it just... errg.
I also -coughs- am as near to hate as I can get -coughs- with the people who think that just because you like yaoi, or yuri (or both, like me) that you're either gay or wrong. It's your choice right? It's sort of like the whole, "Ewww. I don't like that series. So you must suck at life." Thing.
My two-cents.

[Samurai Drifter]

The InuYasha fangirls really, REALLY get on my nerves. Especially when they make really crappy AMVs that are just random scenes of InuYasha and Kagome set to some sappy love song, and then other InuYasha fangirls give it high ratings because "omg inu and kagome KAWAII".

[soulreaper]

What are you talking about? Inu Sesshy Kagome kawaii!!!

...

Not Kikio, though. Hate! :mad:

Seriously though, another thing that gets me is the fan that judges you based on whether or not you watch fansubs. Such as claiming that one is not a "true" fan for doing so.

[Jon]

Surprisingly, I've come to be annoyed by newbie anime fans. Yes, you heard me. While I understand that we've all been there at some point, some of these newbie fans are hard to deal with...especially when they start acting superior even though they've only just recently gotten into anime.

But...although newbies bug me, I don't hate them. -_-;

I agree 100% with you, some of the newer fans of anime tend to bug me when they mention 'Evagelion' as the best anime ever. When they claim this, I laugh. I tell them there's more out there, and I get flamed >_<, I guess I'm with Desslock about the Eva fans, as this fits this example well.


The "I'm superior to you" type of fans. Someone once said I wasn't an anime fan because I like dubs, I wasn't offended actually, I felt sorry for him being so arrogant.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

[Hunter_Z]

Defintely the "superior" fans. There are plenty of ways to watch anime, not "my way or the highway". Another type is fans that deem it necessary to turn any and all relationships into a yaoi/yuri relationship. Nothing against yaoi/yuri, but some of those pairings out there are just outrageous.

[Atreides]

Fans that try to tell me that I'm not quite adaquate as a fan myself because I like dubs. Also, it particularly bothers me when someone criticizes one series or another for not being something that it's not trying to be.

[Japhyl]

I'm annoyed by newbie fans, rabid fangirls who foolishly claim that a character is "theirs," fanfic authors who switch characters' genders, OOC fanfic authors, and fans who draw fanart of a male character as a female.

[Matsu'o Tsurayaba]

The kind of fan who thinks that anime is nothing more than animation.Im one of the fans who could take anime rather seriously at times...

[Rain]

The "I think I'm better than you because of the anime I've seen" type of anime fan.

[Rikku_Elessdill]

the type of anime fan who have ago at people for asking questions really annoy me! its how we learn people!

[GreatMonkMiroku]

The Yugioh fanboys.
The "ultra purists".

[GreatNekoKoneko]

... guys who think Shoujo is for girls. Those guys are missing out.

[GreatMonkMiroku]

... guys who think Shoujo is for girls. Those guys are missing out.
Took me a day to figure that out. Four episodes of Serial Experiments: Lain got me hooked. Although that's more cyberpunk shoujo.

[sii]

I hate the stereotypical "fangirls" and "fanboys". They need to get out sometime. And maybe find a personality.

[soulreaper]

I thought of two more: the people who try to justify fansubs by claiming that they aren't illegal and the people who try to argue fansubs by claiming unlicensed fansubs will cause the crash of the industry. People who say almost the same about actual licensed series with existing R1 dvds and people who know about the illegality of them but can still make their own decisions are okay, though.

[DazzleKitty]

I forgot to mention that I also dislike fanfiction with characters that are exremely out of character. I read only yaoi fanfics, and there are a ton of purely crap fics out there.

For example, I read a Yugioh one about Bakura and Ryou. For no reason whatsoever, the author decided to turn Ryou into a crossdresser. He likes to pretend he's a girl, wear a schoolgirl uniform, and not tell anyone - simpley because he likes it. Sometimes I actually get embarrassed for them because their writing is so crappy.

Bad fanart is repulsive too. Sometimes I know that someone really does try their best, but some bad attempts just are....ugh.

[xia]

Elitist fanboys/fangirls

The term newbie bothers me too, and people's attitude towards them.

[Manafairy]

The kinds of fans I hate:

Those who say shows like Pokemon, or Dragonball, or Yu-gi-oh, or any other show they precieve to be for children and/or don't like isn't anime.

Japanophiles

Those who hate a show solely for its popularity

Those who claim characters as their own

Those who say they're anime fans, yet don't consider the hobby worth investing any money into

General rabid and mindless fanboys/fangirls, regardless of the object of their fanaticism (especially those who type in l33t because they're too dumb to do any better)

"Holier than thou" elitists

And, above all:

Fans who can fall into a sentence long stereotype

[Mika-chan]

-Anime fans who look down on American animation because "all American cartoons are childish."

-Fans who look down on anime series because they aren`t violent enough, doesn`t have enough sex, or simply because it`s aimed at younger audiences.

-Fans who look down on others for watching anime on TV or watching dubbed anime.

-The "I don`t like it because it`s popular" fans.

-Fanartists who steal other people`s fanart.

-Fans that hate American companies because "all American companies ruin anime."

-Fans who can`t seperate anime and real Japanese life.

-Rabid fans of any anime series (i.e. Naruto, Inuyasha, etc).
-Fans who try to validate fansubs/scanslations.

[Old Ape Face]

i'm kind of annoyed by the inuyasha Fangirl fanboy thing i mean they say it's the best anime they've ever seen <_< obviously it's the only one they've seen, i'm not saying that their call isn't a good one but that's generalising it to so many anime out there. i tell tem i like Kenshin, Samurai Deeper, and Fullmetal Alchemist better then InuYasha becuase they're not chock full of Fillers and reruns. then they banter on how inuyasha could beat a characte from another Anime who's obviously more destructive and higher in ability.

[CyberNinja5]

Yeah i dont see the point in people saying that, you like what you like and they like what they like, theres no need to dis other people for the kind of anime that they like just because you disagree

But that wouldnt make me hate them :)
I agree with you 100% a few of my friends like Naruto but one of them doesn't so he just makes fun of us for liking, it not in a mean way though. But I don't really think I can hate someone unless they are a complete jerk.

[minmae]

Oh dang, somebody brought this up? :P Yess.

Well dang, for me, it's really what buggs me.

-Overly obsessed yaoi fangirls

-Overly obsessed yuri fans

EDIT

-fans that make a big deal what others just think

And that's all I could think of right now.

[Samurai Drifter]

Oh, I forgot- the ultra anti-fansub people, that say things like "You aren't an anime fan if you watch fansubs!" So what, now you're judging whether I'm a fan based on how I come by the anime? I guess how much money you spend is what matters, not whether or not you actually like it.

And ultra-elitist fanboys, like Animematt. That guy really gets on my nerves.

[IAmTacoSalad]

First off, using specific names isn't cool. Secondly, if you only steal the work your not much of a fan.

[Levon]

-fans that post thinking they're right, because they use big words I don't understand


Indubious, I concur.

[Leader Desslock]

-fans that post thinking they're right, because they use big words I don't understand...
I dunno. "Spike Is Dead"? That's 5, 2, and 4 letters, respectively. :lol: None of those have nearly as many letters as "wishful thinking".

[Samurai Drifter]

First off, using specific names isn't cool.
But... he's a perfect example, so I don't really care.

Secondly, if you only steal the work your not much of a fan.
...Only? Who said only? I have over 100 DVDs my friend. And even if someone did only download fansubs, the only requirement for being a fan is that you like the stuff. You don't magically become an anime fan when you buy DVDs. You become one when you decide you like anime.

[Oburi]

The girls in my school that are so deeply rooted in their love of yaoi that they've forgotten real boys exist.. or basically just any person so deeply into anime that their social life suffers a great deal from it.

[Tsukiko]

I agree. I cant stand those people. :mad: It does'nt matter how much money you spend its whether you like it.
Oh, and I agree with that last statement too. :thumbsup:

[IAmTacoSalad]

What's Shonen Jump again?

The weekly manga birthplace to Yu-Gi-Oh, Dragon Ball, Naruto, One Piece, Rurouni Kenshin, Shaman King and One Piece among others.

[Haruhi]

Eva fanboys/girls. Just because I say it's a crap series, they start accusing me of not having the capacity to appreciate the show. When I ask them why this and that happened, and the symbolism behind it all, they usually can't answer. Really pathetic.

"Elitist" fans who practically LOOK for flaws in the anime they watch, then continue to dwell and bash on that one thing they don't approve of, and hate the rest of the show for it.

Edit

OOC fanfic writers. I cannot take the story seriously if they include a character that wasn't originally in the series

I'm just waiting for Dess to tell me, "Gannon, I am your father..."

But to add: One thing I don't like about fans that they tend to make certain things in anime that they like bigger than it was. Like proclaiming something was deep and introspective when all he did was finally ask the broad to go out for tea. Or when people forget that every anime has it's low points but pretending that it doesn't just because they like it.

[ricosaur]

my friend ran a anime club for a while and everyone that turned up sucked because they had no social skills. haha i renamed it the social reject club hehe




yehhhh i pretty much hated those guys.........

[Sector 6 Slum]

i seriously dont like those who think their tastes of anime is better than others and have the 'i'm a better fan than you' attitude.

[Soluzar]

- Anyone who thinks that only a specific genre is good anime, and that every other genre is substandard. This is prevalent in shounen fans and mecha fans. I am both, of course ;)

- Anyone who thinks that animation > story.

- Anyone who thinks new > old.

[Soaker87]

-Rabid fangirls

-Fans who think they're better than everyone

-Fans who hate all fans who like anime dubbed/from CN

-Fans who completely ignore canon to write whatever they want in fanfiction

-Fans who only like artsy anime

-Fans who think that if an anime has fanservice, it's automatcally not worth watching

[Matt_H.]

-Fans who think that if an anime has fanservice, it's automatcally not worth watching

ok, what is fanservice?

and i dont really know who i dislike, cuz im the only big anime fan in my town that i know of... but i dont like the fans that say fansubs are better than watching dubs.

[Manafairy]

ok, what is fanservice?

Anything that's only there for the sake of pleasing the fans. It can be anything from cameos to excessive or unnecessary gore or nudity. In most cases when people are refering to fanservice, though, they usually mean stuff like panty shots, hot springs scenes, female nudity, and the like.

Oh, and while I'm posting, I have to concur that the people who get offended by fanservice and hate a show solely based on the fact that it has it tend to be really irritating.

[RyoTD]

- As strange as it may sound coming from an Evangelion fan, some Eva fanboys actually do manage to piss me off from time to time. The most blaring example would be Meka64... Thankfully, I haven't seen too many of them.

- Rabid fangirls. Inuyasha, yaoi or "I'm better for <insert bishounen here> than <insert said bishounen's girlfriend here>!"... they are all the same to me.

- OOC/self-insert fanfiction writers have very little respect in my eyes, too. Though some examples are worth reading just for the sheer idiocy. I'm looking at you, Neon Exodus Evangelion!

I was about to list the dub fans, but most of them are actually pretty cool people. I still think that most dubs suck, though. :P

[Matt_H.]

alright thanks.

[fujyoshi]

I can't stand fangirls that are jealous of anime girls having a relationship with a guy they are in love with. :lol:

you hate me >_<

[Leader Desslock]

- As strange as it may sound coming from an Evangelion fan, some Eva fanboys actually do manage to piss me off from time to time. ... Thankfully, I haven't seen too many of them.
As the person who initially started the rant about Rabid EVA Fanboys, I'll echo that sentiment out of fairness. I truly haven't seen that many of them either. I can't even list a specific name as an example, because frankly their posts are as forgettable as the minutae they spend their time discussing.

[tofuman]

The fans that think their better then everyone because they claim to know everything about a cretin anime and give you crap when you say something that’s wrong about it annoy the hell out of me.

[fujyoshi]

I don't reall like hentai fanboys. They're so perverted.

[soulreaper]

Here's one: The kind of fan who enjoys going around to different forums just to spoil the ending of a certain anime, or, if said fan happens to be your friend, who tells you offline. Just because he can.

[Prof.Nosebleed]

-Inuyasha fangirls (except my ex)
-Surprisingly, I've only met one Eva fanboy in my life and they're a friend of mine
-Fans of anime shirts, they wear it because it looks cool but have never seen the anime

[GreatNekoKoneko]

I don't reall like hentai fanboys. They're so perverted.


... but isn't that the reason why people watch Hentai? to satisfy their perverted needs?

[fujyoshi]

I have a friend that likes that stuff but I never get to see him so yeah.

Otherwise can't stand it.

[Animematt55]

-Rabid fangirls

-Fans who think they're better than everyone

i liek these.
I also hate fangirls who hate an anime girl cause she is in a relationship with a male character they want a relationship with, or want him with a guy.

I also hate fangirls that hate aniem girls just cause they have big boobs.

[earsofdoom]

"Elitist" fans who practically LOOK for flaws in the anime they watch, then continue to dwell and bash on that one thing they don't approve of, and hate the rest of the show for it.

Those are the only one's i really can't stand (rabid eva fan's annoy me a little though...)

[Danju]

I can't stand the ones that think Green Green was good.

[EdWorshiper]

I can't stand fangirls that are jealous of anime girls having a relationship with a guy they are in love with. :lol:

Amen to that! :lol:

And I don't like the anime nOObs all over my school! The only anime they've seen are. . . you guessed it. . . InuYasha and Fullmetal Alchemist. And that's fine and all, but when you go around claiming to be "Anime Queen" as one of the girls calls herslef, that's NOT fine.

[minmae]

I dunno. "Spike Is Dead"? That's 5, 2, and 4 letters, respectively. :lol: None of those have nearly as many letters as "wishful thinking".
Indubious, I concur.

Sorry guys, I should edit that. I didn't really mean you guys. I was talking about other people,(I wouldn't write any names), but not you guys and I'm sure. And you know when I'm sure, I'm real sure....Why? You guys think I'm meaning you guys? Hell nah. Like I said before, I'm cool with that. Again, SORRRY.

[Soaker87]

I also hate fangirls that hate aniem girls just cause they have big boobs.

I forgot about that one. I've seen so many people bash Eikyuu Alice Rondo because of the size of the characters boobs. It makes no sense.

[Saphire-]

What soulreaper said is true but I think that if girls or guys want to make up crazy stories or continuations, and abominate the anime show or movie then that is their problem. Some people take it to far though, yes that is true but I think it's alright as long as they don't go way overboard. And it's not right to insult people on what anime show they like because there are probably over a million people that like that show to, as well as yours. I think people just shouldn't diss people or shows at all.

It's not so much a question of them liking a show that you don't; it's more about the ones that are "rabid." You know the ones. The kind of fan who goes around proclaiming that [insert contemporary CN or AS anime here] is the greatest show ever and more, even though they've never seen anything else. I don't hate them, but I feel that they should definitely stop bloating their show's greatness to unrealistic proportions. Inuyasha is NOT the best thing in the world. It can be your favorite anime, but it isn't the most amazing piece of entertainment that I hear too many people call it. Not to mention, those fans who go crazy over their bishounen's fictional girlfriend or love interest are also under the category of "rabid." They just annoy the heck out of me.

As for the OOC fanfics, I don't have a problem with most of them- just the yaoi ones. Oh my God EdxRoy NarutoxSasuke InuyashaxMiroku MAKE IT STOP! Funny thing is, most of these ghastly stories that I've come across are only of really popular series that have premiered on CN or AS. Proof: try finding me a Gokudo yaoi fanfic or a Gankutsuou one. For the record: I also have a problem with yuri OOC fanfics, but I haven't come across as many. Well, except for the NGE ones.

[MagicianCamille]

I don't think I've ever encountered an anime fan I could stand. I hate anime fans...'cept Desslock.

[max payne]

the ones that claim to supreme knowledge of the one anime, and if you disagree with them you get loads of abuse

[Hexon.Arq]

I tried five ways of wording this diplomatically, but no matter how I word it, it's obvious I mean the same thing: Rabid EVA Fanboys. I don't like being flamed or told that I'm incapable of understanding something just because I don't happen to think it's the pinnacle of human creative expression. I'd feel the same way about the fans of any series, but it so happens that the Rabid EVA Fanboys have done this more than any other group. I haven't been flamed for not liking Gundam, DBZ, InuYasha or any other series with a rabid following. Only with Evangelion have I been openly flamed for not heaping sufficient praise upon it when I say "it's an okay series."


I think I may have actually been one of those. However, if hazard follows subpar acclaim for the series, there's nothing more dangerous than openly starting to withdraw from REF mindset. Start questioning the relevance of certain topics, and suddenly you have become an offender hell-bent on laying mockery upon the fishbowl mechanics of the leisure time activities of the innocent and noble.

That's my sect of repulsion: the touchy.

[Ketaru]

I don't understand the majority of what you post :|. What exactly are you saying?

I "think" that, for the most part, the post means he hates are the anime fans that get bent out of shape when somebody questions any norms or generally accepted ideas about a particular anime.

[Raistlin-sama]

I only really have a problem with people who act superior. Be they elitist sub purists, dub fans (yes, some actually do), people who don't download fansubs, people who do, people who's seen a lot, noobs etc. I don't have a problem with any of them, unless they act superior or holier-than-thou.

Actually I'd have to admit that people who act ignorant and/or stupid can be annoying as well. Also people who act as if something is the best thing ever, without having seen very much to compare it with. However thinking that, almost puts me into the category I mentioned above. ;)

Ok, I guess there's one more kind of annoying fan. Rabid fangirls (and to a lesser extent fanboys). They can be really goddamn annoying with all their stupid "OMG *insert bishounen here* is SOO kawai!!". But still, rather than making me angry they actually amuse me most of the time, so I guess they don't really count.

[KazumaII]

I have a few problems mostly with . . . FLCL fanboys.

I really disliked FLCL but when I say that in puiblic or in an Anime forum the fanboys/girls get mad and say " flcl is to over your head." and I just drop it there. Since there's no use in trying to get through to a hardcore FLCL fan.

The there's the noob/gothic kids who go to suncoast looking for the darkest, bloodest Anime ever created and they say Anime was allways for the goth people. I dont know if thats just in my city or in others to buts thats annoying.

[Leader Desslock]

I have a few problems mostly with . . . FLCL fanboys.
I think it's one of the best titles I've seen, but I'd have to be an idiot to say that FLCL is a show for everyone. Even if you get it, it's pretty far out there. :lol:

The there's the noob/gothic kids who go to suncoast looking for the darkest, bloodest Anime ever created and they say Anime was allways for the goth people. I dont know if thats just in my city or in others to buts thats annoying.
Wow. I've never heard that one. That's too funny. You gotta wonder how they explain that Rumiko Takahashi is one of the most highly paid manga artists in the world, then. Lum's not really what I'd consider a goth.

In fact, Lum's been around since before most folks who call themselves goths were born. :lol:

I know. I hate when they say anime is for goth...ohman i get annoyed.

[Ketaru]

Oh, I don't think anybody has mentioned this yet, now that you bring up Suncoast.

Who here coined the phrase "Manga Cow", the type of anime fan that sits down in manga section of a bookstore and reads whole books while you try to navigate around them?

EDIT: Never mind, found it.

Bernard coined that term i believe.
While i havent ran into them myself, i did have girls come into media play and read manga for HOURS! never bought anything at all.

[crow-kun]

Fullmetal Alchemist anime fans

[soulreaper]

Fullmetal Alchemist anime fans

Right...

I forgot about the manga cows. I don't like them either.

[DazzleKitty]

I also dislike the people who sit in the manga aisles and don't move. I have went into Borders twice, and the same guy was there each day, sitting on a chair he moved into the aisle to read. It's annoying.

Then once, I went into the manga section, and there were about six girls all sprawled out on the floor to read. I needed to get to a part they were blocking, and then they all started to look at me and giggle. It was kinda rude of them, and it made me feel stupid.

I've also noticed that manga cows seem to act strange around people who aren't fellow manga cows. Although, the ones that I see don't giggle. They just look at me as if I had 2 heads.

[Japhyl]

I get annoyed when people call themselves anime fans and then they pronounce "anime" and "manga" wrong, and some of them pronounce a lot of anime characters' names wrong.

[Leader Desslock]

^ I purposely do that whenever I talk to a clerk in a retail store, though. It's fun to watch them cringe. I pronounce them "A-nyme" and "MAN-ja", respectively. Watching clerks wince when you mispronounce their favorite titles (NEE-on guh-KNEE-sis e-VANGLE-on) is priceless.

[Chicito]

Did they move for you?



Anyway the type of fan I hate is one that think they're smarter than you just because they post more on anime forums. Point is: If you count your posts and brag about it. YOU FAIL AT LIFE

Another type is the goth/emo kids who come into Barnes and Noble and just sit in the Manga section reading the darkest titles they can find. I had a summer job at barnes and noble last summer and the staff only backroom was located near the manga section. I go to the door. They are just siting there ignoring me when I ask them to move. Bunch of *******s.

God I would hate you if you did that. It would be funny to watch if I knew you were kidding though. :P

I will have to try that sometime. I once got in an argument with a guy who worked in an anime store in Dallas try to tell me I was not Bernard that he knew me personnaly and he was Sharp-Kun. I looked rather like those Roman trying not to laugh at Pontius Pilot in Life of Brian.

[JoeStrummer]

Heh, just the ones that think their "Otaku" but don't know what it means

[MonkeyBoy0314]

The kind who never SHUT UP!!!

[Zero Kyori]

The kind that don't bathe when at conventions and such.

[GreatNekoKoneko]

...the kind that think that they're Otaku...when theyre not...

[seba_boi]

The kind that don't take care on the way they look... ;)

[Plue]

I have encountred numerous people who read at the bookstore. They are really annoying. Its even worse when they don't take CARE of the book they are reading. I have noticed others do this too and then you really can't buy the manga anymore. The cover is bent or torn or the spine is broken and the book is pratically falling apart. I just started ordering more manga online so I wouldn't end up coming home with two or three pages missing out of a manga. Anybody have that happen to them?

[Japhyl]

I just went to the bookstore today and a guy was sitting reading manga. I once saw a manga with pen scribbles on the pages.

[fujyoshi]

Heh, just the ones that think their "Otaku" but don't know what it means

oh yeah that's most annoying. That's what I call "anime n00bs" you know how you have forum n00bs right, well there are anime n00bs as of right now.

I've never bought any manga with missing pages, but I've taken some out of the library like that. I don't get why somebody would rip pages out.

[masakiuma]

this may be stereotypical, but most of the fans who REFUSE to watch dubbed anime annoy me

[UzumakiKaori]

Some people I know... They annoy me when they try to say the titles of Naruto and InuYasha... It's not Nay-roo-toe! That's about as close to the true title as InYuYasha is! Grr... But, they're still my friends...

[sasami-riyo]

I strongly dislike the fanboy/gir who believes that to be an otaku one must know everything about a certain series to be a true fan of it.

Being corrected by...a...newbie...urrgh...XP

Even though I USED to fall into this catergory...disliking people because they like a series such as Pokemon, Yugioh, or other series that Fox tried to dub...I mean jeez, at least they were NICE enough to try and get it out there.

[oOAllyOo]

I havnt seen this one before, (because probably most people are like this) but the people who become so obsessed with the japanese culture that they act and wish they were japanese and always eat japanese foods and try to talk japanese and learn everything about japanese just because they like japanese anime. Its like come on, embrace your own culture! Jeez.

[oOAllyOo]

OMG same here. I can barely walk through the manga isles at the book store because theirs like a million funny looking kids sitting around reading the mangas on the floor, and than when I find a manga and go buy it, I feel like im doing something wrong. I wish they would go and read somewhere else >_>

[Jeikobu]

Yaoi/Yuri fanboys/girls, people who think their opinion is always right and are not open to anything else, people who are overly nasty and critical about an anime or character without good reason, people who only like anime for classless reasons, perverted fans, people who only like anime for flashiness and don't care about the depth, story or characters, etc. Those kinds of people drive me nuts. ^^;

[Kueng]

The type of anime fan that I dislike most, is the type of anime fan that makes fun of other anime fans because of the shows they like. Basically I don't like the elitist anime fan type, they think that they're above certain fans.

[Jeikobu]

^I couldn't agree more. ;)

[Japhyl]

I don't like anime fans that hate characters and say they don't even have a reason for hating them.

[whatsherface]

Well I'm a newbie so what's a yaoi/yuri relationship? And what's a fangirl/fanboy.
Also, what I hate is if you're new to anime and some of it confuses you so you seek help and they look at you like you're dumb and talk down to you for not knowing the answer. Sorry but some of us are new and not as smart.

[semaj550]

The only type that I can't stand are the ones who come up with reasons for why it's okay to steal anime. I can live with just about any type of crazy fangirl/fanboy but I can't stand the ones who, for example, think downloading anime isn't stealing (or at the least is a justifiable practice) because they don't have the money to buy the DVD.

I know I should have kept my mouth shut but I just couldn't.

[Meganly-chan]

-Fans who argue whether or not anime can be classified as a cartoon. IT CAN, BECAUSE IT'S AN ANIMATED TV SHOW!

-Out of character Yaoi stories. I don't hate yaoi, but I'm not a fan, and I get really, really annoyed when two male characters with otherwise no romantic or potential romantic involvement hook up, usually tossing out a canon pairing (ex: Meryl and Vash of Trigun - I've seen so much Vash/Wolfwood stuff it's not funny). I also hate the Ash and Gary pairing (Pokemon) and I'm not just saying that because I'm a Pokeshipper ;)

-Fans who nitpick about EVERY LITTLE THING from a domestic release. They may even go to the point where they boycott a company. Now, I'm not saying they aren't justified some of the time, but come on! Half a second missing from the opening song and you're ready to torch something?

[fujyoshi]

-Fans who argue whether or not anime can be classified as a cartoon. IT CAN, BECAUSE IT'S AN ANIMATED TV SHOW!

Oh man you hate me, I do that all the time, when poeple classify anime wrong. Anyway it's not concidered cartoons because there's a reason they call it anime.

[Leader Desslock]

...I do that all the time... it's not concidered cartoons because there's a reason they call it anime.
Psst... Whoever "they" are that have their "reason" - it's not universal.

[The Million Dollar Prons]

I call it anime.

Because there's a difference. For example, I wouldn't call the movie "Friday the 13th" a thriller movie, I'd call it a horror movie.

[sailornyanko]

-Out of character Yaoi stories. I don't hate yaoi, but I'm not a fan, and I get really, really annoyed when two male characters with otherwise no romantic or potential romantic involvement hook up, usually tossing out a canon pairing...

If I was given a dollar for every CamusxMilo yaoi fanfic I've bumped into this week alone.. *shudders*

This is SO wrong!
http://img483.imageshack.us/img483/1002/milocamus2tj.th.jpg (http://img483.imageshack.us/my.php?image=milocamus2tj.jpg)

One 2 second long scene in the anime where Milo asks Camus permission to kill Hyoga and they make infinite yaoi fanfics of the two. Not to mention the time in the Hades OVA where Milo tries to choke Camus. I can imagine a lot of sadistic yaoi fanfics from that scene! *shudders*

Today I read a hilarious RhadamanthysxLune fanfic in portuguese. I didn't get the whole text cuse I didn't bother to translate it, but I could understand enough that Lune was Rhady's *****. :lol: Poor Lune, he gets no good love.

If it was okay to steal anime, I wouldn't be doing it. What's the fun in that?

[Alienkid]

The kind that's a hopless dork that tries to be cool instead of admitting that he is a dork. The kind that wears cosplay accessories from different animes at the same time without wearing a costume or has no sence of style. lol It's hard to explain. if you do any of these things and get offended than I'm probably not talking to you because you have a purpose for what you do, the ones that don't understand what they're doing. or the fanboys that think powerpuff girls is anime. Nothing wrong with PPG. But it's entirely american

[Killua]

I hate the type of anime fan that think they have to watch every single anime in the world -_-;... Whenever I mention an anime they don't know of, they go watch it the next day. I also hate fans that watch the show, but don't even know the character's names. Much less, the plot. AND...I hate those goth kids who think anime is goth. (there's this kid in my school like that) ...-_-;

[Solid_Snake]

I can't stand fangirls that are jealous of anime girls having a relationship with a guy they are in love with. :lol:
Bingo. FMA comes to mind.


I don't really like the "GLOMP LOLOLOOLOOL" type of Anime fans, that hand out E-Lolly pops.

And RPers.

[crow-kun]

Fans who can't find flaws in a anime and thinks it's perfect even when they have a document right in front of their faces with nothing but fact on it. "I'm looking at you Fullmetal Alchemist fans."

[Fishbait]

The kind that cares about what other anime fans like

o.O

[DazzleKitty]

Lately I've been developing an abhorrence for hypocritical, irrational fanboys. Maybe it's because of a few negative run-ins with them I've had these past couple of months. But dang, they make me so mad.

[Olin of Xephon]

The ones that contend anime is the be all end all form of entertainment and nothing else will ever comes close to its perfection...It's a great medium fellas, but there is a lot of stuff out there.

[Japhyl]

I don't like the fans that want a character to be the opposite gender just so they can like them.

[LostCause]

I don't really hate or even dislike anybody.
It's just that i fail to understand.
People who dissect anime series and suck the fun out. They make it sound like my papers on "war and peace". There are things out there that are meant to be taken seriosly; i don't really think anime is even in the top 100. Just enjoy it!

[Naoko]

I think it's annoying when people go "EWWWWW!!! YAOI!!! THAT IS SOOOO GROSS!! THOSE CHARECTERS DON'T LOVE EACH OTHER LIKE THAT!!" ... -_-; It's fine if you don't like yaoi, but come on. You don't have to react like that. I think it makes you look kind of stupid... -_-;
I'm not trying to point out anyone who may have said something like that on this forum!! ^^;

But then again, any kind of fangirl, including yaoi fangirls can be just as annoying...

[RPGQueen]

people who freek out if someone calls anime a cartoon. It's animated so to many cartoon and animation are synonyms of each other.

[JPZX]

Oh if I had to choose... Fans that know every single little detail about an anime... I just don't have that much time to learn everything... I suppose you could label them fanatics... But I feel the same about Star Wars and Star Trek fans too :P

[J Dude]

I find it really hard to have a conversation with any anime fan who goes around watching mediocre moe shows just because he sees a loli character and goes, "Oh god! Lolilicious! I have to watch that!" Thus being the main/only reason he wants to watch the show. There are plenty of people lurking around 4chan like that I'm sure and I've seen a certain member or few on this forum that I'm sure does that. I also can't stand the kind of anime fan who can't even spell correctly on a forum, especially when they're talking about what they're actually watching and can't even spell stuff from it correctly. Didn't I just see something like that recently? ;)

[KT Kore]

There are plenty of people lurking around 4chan like that I'm sure

Plenty? Well, yeah. But it's more like EVERYONE on 4chan. Which is one of many reasons I don't go there.

[Raziel_MGS]

I am huge fan of 4chan.org, but mainly random, cuz i love the random pictures people make

[Hara!]

Everybody on /a/ in 4chan, and ¨JAPAN IS SUPERIOR¨ type people (Wapanese, Weeaboo, etc.)

Plenty? Well, yeah. But it's more like EVERYONE on 4chan. Which is one of many reasons I don't go there.

So you mean to tell me that the majority of 4chan, including apparently /co/, are rabid ecchipedophiles?

[Kali-chan]

Its just what the question says, whats a kind of anime fan that you cant stand? or hate. You know, like rabid fans, yaoi fangirls, know it alls, etc......

The people that I hate are the ones that insult your favorite anime and say that theres is better than yours. So what about you guys? ^_^

I hate Yaoi fangirls, know it alls, and what the OP said. Also, Yuri fanboys, and those who enjoy hentai... watch it around me... me and my low rated mind...

I can't say much for rabid fangirlism, because some might remember me from when I first joined... does Sesshomaru rabid fangirl ring a bell?

[Matsu'o Tsurayaba]

Ive had a few run in with people also.This sort of thing happens every so often,but for the most part..most people are understanding.But there is always that one person that can annoy you.

[Talon]

I dislike elitist anime fans and the ones that think any anime before the 90's is the pinnacle of great animation and should not be criticized in any way, who talk down to you if you even speak of anything that dissatisfied you with the show.

I also am greatly annoyed by the yaoi fangirls who create threads about how Ed is "hawt", or how they want to marry Sesshy, and only watch anime because they are attracted to a character, especially the ones that can't even see why they are so annoying and go on rants about how they are tired of people hating them.

Lastly, I despise the often illiterate people who bandwagon on shows like Naruto, Bleach, or Evangelion, and make their fanbase look like a bunch of blithering idiots, while intelligent fans of those shows get discriminated against for liking them.

[killing_time]

I hate it when you watch the first episode of a new show with a friend, and they bash it from start to finish. By the end you don't even know weather or not you even enjoyed it.

Even worse are people who bash you for buying anime when "dude, you can just watch it all on youtube."

[ZeroRyoko1974]

I can't stand anime fans who start threads like this on anime boards :P

[Naoko]

I also hate the kind of fan that says stuff like "WHY DID SHE DO THAT!?!? I WOULD'VE DONE SOMETHING THAT IS AWESOME AND I WOULD HAVE BEEN WAY COOLER THAN THAT IDIOT! SHE IS SOOOOOOOOO STUPID OMG!"
Listen, you weren't in the anime, and you don't know what you would have done. Also, don't get so mad over an anime, the mistakes that people make in the show are usually what makes the plot interesting...

Okay, I’m somewhat of a fangirl. I can’t disagree with that. But I hate when a lot of them go, “OMGOMGOMGOMG!!!1111 HES SOOO HAWT I COULD JUST DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111 I CLAIM HIM! IF ANY1 TOUCHES THEM, I WILL RIP THEIR LUNGS OUT!! >o<”

And in general, I hate when anime fans go to forums and talk LYK THIS ZOMG!!!!!!1111 :w00t:

[KitsuneMaryohki]

I hate new fans that refuse to accept that they're new to anime, and elitists.

Let me talk about the elitists. They can either be fans of a lot of anime, or just one, but they always have a superiority complex. One form of elitism I've seen on these boards is the idea of "don't form any sort of opinion on an anime or manga until you've seen all of it". Now, let's be realistic here, people. No person can watch all of the anime out there, so some titles have to be ruled out without being seen. Also, if someone starts a series and didn't like what they saw, why should they have to watch the rest of it for their opinion to be legit.

My biggest problem is elitists that like The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. Now, I'm sure a lot of fans of this are perfectly normal, but most of the ones I see are elitist snobs, and HEAVEN FORBID you don't feel the need to watch Haruhi Suzumiya and they find out. They will try to eat you over the internet because you don't like their precious show. I've encountered so much of that sh*t that I refuse to watch Haruhi Suzumiya. I don't want to support or associate with a series who's fans often tend to act like jerks.

I honestly don't care if I'm missing the best show ever, but then I doubt I will, since it sounds very similar to that Day in the Life of Tomo episode of Azumanga Daioh, with "profound symbolism" thrown in. And the odd thing is that I've never seen this much rude elitism over one show before. Sure, Eva fans had a bad reputation, but most of the ones I've met could accept that not everyone likes Eva, and I still may watch it if I can buy it cheap. (My only issue with Eva is the constant repackaging on ADV's part).

----

On the topic of new fans that refuse to admit they're new, it's just silly. If you've been watching anime for 2 years and only watch what's on TV or what idiot fans scream (type in all caps) about on Gaia, I'm afraid I'd call you a new fan. Same if there are masses of anime that have been on the shelves for you to see and are relatively easy to get, yet you haven't heard of any of them. (Since that tells me you likely never buy anime. That could be you only watch it on TV, which isn't too bad, but shows you don't much want to buy it, or you only use youtube and illegal downloading programs, which is very bad if that's ALL you watch with).

I'm sure more things irritate me, but those two are what plain make me want to kill people. Or well, the new fan thing is annoying, but not that bad. Elitists make me want to beat people with a spiked mace.

[metal_slime1022]

i hate kids who like the anime better if they own it and overrate their own anime, i hate eva fans, and i hate dbz/gt and inuyasha haters

[Prof.Nosebleed]

-Mainstream US/4Kids anime fans who don't know of anything outside their box
-The Rabidus Fangirlis
-Those who downloaded, stole, or illegally purchased all [or most] the anime they own
-Those who look down on ALL fanservice or anything sexual that they say "perverts" the series and ruins it
-Wapanese, Weeaboos, Japanophiles, etc.
-anti-dub fans
-furry hentai fans

[Anime Junkie]

I hate fans that cant try something new at least once......,

[J Dude]

i hate inuyasha haters

I guess you won't like me very much then. :lol: Though I only dislike the show for all the correct reasons.

- The anime is full of boring filler.
- The anime has no ending and just stopped due to lack of interest.
- It drags on too long even with the canon material. The manga does as well in my opinion, which is why I stopped reading scans of the Japanese manga.

[Juicelee777]

omg yes!!!!!

I mention that I read american comics just as much as I'm in to anime and people go into cardiac arrest like "omfgbbqwtf!!!!11111 he said he likes ....spider-man"

but it happens on the filpside as well so I guess I'm just generally weird

[Haro!]

I don't like most anime fans. Its kind of like a "you can hate humanity but like people" sort of thing with me

[Ketaru]

On the subject of InuYasha, I happen to dislike fans that would actually feel so vindictive about a character, they would talk about how they should die (Kikyo comes to mind).

[Midoriko87]

Hmm, people who exaggerate the significance of a show's elements (characters, plot, themes).

Oh yea, I hate fans that actually tell people they're anime fans. Sheesh! Keep that info to yourself. No need for anyone to know we're geeks, right? :lol:

[Leader Desslock]

My biggest problem is elitists that like The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.... I've encountered so much of that sh*t that I refuse to watch Haruhi Suzumiya.
While I can completely understand where you're coming from, I've learned not to pay any attention to hype, good or bad. If I avoided every title that got hype, I'd have missed a few outstanding shows. Most were mediocre, but the few gems really shined. You're better off just watching what you find interesting, and ignore the fanbase.

I honestly don't care if I'm missing the best show ever...
You're not, but you are missing a show that's pretty good if you're into metafiction.

it sounds very similar to that Day in the Life of Tomo episode of Azumanga Daioh, with "profound symbolism" thrown in.
LORD, no. As a self-proclaimed Haruhi Suzumiya fan, I can assure you that there's nothing profound or symbolic about it. It's just a show to be enjoyed for the entertainment it is. If I had to liken it to anythign, I'd liken it to the Harry potter phenomenon - lots of hype, but down underneath it, there's some really good storytelling. It's not deep, it's just a mental vacation for those that enjoy it. That's all.

Suzumiya's not for everyone, so if you don't like it, that's understandable. As far as that goes, I rank Azumanga Daioh as one of those shows that's not for everyone either. Different people have different tastes. I liked AzuDaioh, and I like Suzumiya; I'd hardly be offended if you didn't. I trust you can put down the spiked mace now?

[Hajime Saitou]

Oh yea, I hate fans that actually tell people they're anime fans. Sheesh! Keep that info to yourself. No need for anyone to know we're geeks, right? :lol:

What's wrong with saying that you are a fan of something? If you aren't secure enough to let other people know that you are a fan of anime, then you aren't really a fan at all. The same can be said for any other kind of hobby that someone chooses to keep a secret for the vain reason of what other people might think of them. Stand by your choices or don't make them at all.

The type(s) of anime fans that I hate are bandwagoners(not a real word?) and anti-bandwagoners. More simply put, people who like or dislike an anime just because it's popular. You can easily spot these people by asking them to back up their position. These groups are built like a house of cards, and if you take out one of them they all crumble.

Edit- :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thank you for quoting that Desslock, I didn't see that before.

I've encountered so much of that sh*t that I refuse to watch Haruhi Suzumiya. I don't want to support or associate with a series who's fans often tend to act like jerks.

Yes, this is what I was referring to.

eva fanboys ..... GAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH ! Where's me mallet ???

and of-course those stupid fans who go like ... I LOVE NARUTO ! WHY ? BECUASE ITS THE BESTEST ! (yes the 'bestest') ... gah makes me feel like smacking them ..... its like all theve ever seen is naruto (90 % true anyways)

again ..... where's me mallet !?

[goddessofanime]

The type who prefer anime women over reality.

And those who've seen the offtopic forum know who I'm talking about.

[Noi]

-Fans complaining on why there is inconsistencies, plot holes, lack of continuation, etc. on some anime titles, not knowing that these things are intended by the creators. We have to remember that the Japanese do not structure storelines as most of us Westerners structure them.

-Fans abusing or misinterpreting Japanese terms (otaku, yaoi, yuri, lolicon, etc.).

-Fans whose attitudes are equalled to those of rabid feminists and radical animal rights activists.

-The shameless materialism among some fans when they are obsessed with their anime hobby.

[Dr. Ezra]

- Otaku in general.

- Anime fans that mix Japanese with English.

- Fans that mix Japanese with English, but pronounce the Japanese incorrectly. (Ha! That's always funny!)

- Fans that only own anime t-shirts. That kinda bugs me.

- Fans that wear Naruto merchandise to school and proudly display it.

- Fans that think real life is anime, therefore think they should be allowed to act like it is.

- Fat cosplayers

- Fans that talk about anime non-stop and try to relate it to everything. (I used to do this XD)

That's about it. Sorry for my complaints.

[Shiroiyuki]

- Anime fans that mix Japanese with English.

Well, to be fair, Japanese songs (anime and otherwise) sometimes mix English with their lyrics.



- Fans that mix Japanese with English, but pronounce the Japanese incorrectly. (Ha! That's always funny!)

Hahaha, yeah.....or in my above case, when actual 'popular' Japanese singers pronounce the English in their lyrics incorrectly. And I know that their versions of our words work in their culture (as in, they are accepted and understood. Like my surname would be 'Harisu' instead of 'Harris'), but that still doesn't mean they are pronounced correctly.


I can't stand anime fans who insist that their beloved anime is the ONLY good anime around, and all others are crap. Where if you differ in opinion, the little immature Otaku goes off on you and starts flaming/insulting instead of...oh yeah...accepting that other people may have different opinions than their own. :lol: This really ticks me off. Unless they live in Red China or....like.....Milwaukee, they should know that people don't all think alike. They should expect individualism.

[masakiuma]

I'm sure this has been said many times before, but I cant stand fans who will only watch those 200+ episode series that they show on TV---Pokemon, DBZ, Naruto, Inuyasha...I miss when they would show shorter series on TV like Cowboy Bebop or Outlaw Star...

[grgspunk]

The kind of people who constantly complain about other peoples' rabid anime fandoms.

[meku2007]

the kind that go after the main character

[Bernard_Monsha]

Manga Cows.

[masakiuma]

Manga Cows.

if that means people who ALWAYS say "the manga was better" then I totally agree

[KitsuneMaryohki]

Hajime: Yay, I'm hated for not liking something! I'll admit my reason isn't the best, but I don't like to be associated with jerks. I've been around enough of them during my lifetime, and if I can avoid them, I will. If missing some show I don't have any desire to see and only ever had mild curiosity for means less run-ins with people who have their heads up their butts, I'll do it. I didn't directly state it, but the fanbase isn't my sole reason, but rather the final straw.

Desslock: I actually really liked Azumanga Daioh. I just didn't like the part that was Tomo's mind, because, while I find Tomo funny, too much Tomo is irritating, and Haruhi Suzumiya just sounded like it'd be similar to too much Tomo.

[chii-chan]

ooooh.. lets see I think I can think of some...lol

Elitist fans: In any way shape of forum, whether they think there better then you because you like dubs, or you don’t like the anime they think is the best in the world, or you don’t know all the in-jokes and underground terminology. For whatever reasons, that gives elitist fans no right to sick there nose’s up in the air and act like there better then everyone else.... and over what..? Japanese cartoons… for pete's sake...

Over complaining fans: Fans that complain about small little errors or edits in manga or anime and make it seem like its the biggest mistake in the world. Fans that royally *itch you out if.. “OMG” you called anime a "cartoon". People who actually complained about the English text they put in the bleach dub opening , as the translation of the Japanese credits (seriously I saw some really complaining about this on a forum O_O; ) And most importantly for these minor to non offences, fans saying things like " OMG! They should be shot for butchering XXX anime/manga" I don’t care if your joking... you should be grateful that we even get anime and manga translated and produced for market, and even if you didn’t like it that’s no reason to talk about killing some one over it.

Fans that only like one thing: Now I’m all about variety in liking anime. There are sooo many titles out there. And I’m not about to tell people what to like.. I mean that’s out of my jurisdiction, and even I have anime genres I don’t really like ( gundam and mecha mostly) But I try to see a variety of series and it kind of annoys me a little when you have people that like only one genre of anime, or one anime title. ( it seems weird I’ve seen people join general anime forums when they only like one title and wont see anything else <<;; )
I mean even with in the genres I enjoy like yaoi and boys love, but.. when I see some one who only watches stuff with guyXguy material or really slashable stuff. It just makes me want to say " you know there’s other really great anime out there that doesn’t involve two men having sex O_O; “

The same goes with anyone who’s into just gundam or just shoujo or just moe girl stuff, and I know me, my self have seen anime series I didn’t think I’d like but I watched them and they ended up being one of my favorite series. I know when you’re new to anime you have a tendency to stick to what you know and I’m not really talking about newbies here. Just those people who have been into anime for a while but wont ..”watch outside the box" so to speak.

Unrealistic japanophile fans: Some of these people can really make me sick. Now I like Japan too , I’ve studied the country, history and culture for the past few years and not only do I like anime and manga, But I also enjoy Japanese drama, music and variety shows in general. And sure I’d like to visit there, but there’s a big difference from wanting to visit there and live there a short while, to actually wanting to spend the rest of my life there and " become Japanese".
The fact that really sickens me is some of these fans treat the Japanese like there some novelty. Like Japan is just an anime and manga haven and they forget that the Japanese are people just like anyone else. They have family’s, go to work, face hardships and happiness, some are nice, some are jerks but in the end there just normal humans like anyone else. When I hear anime fans say they specifically want a Japanese girlfriend or boyfriend, it just makes me mad…why..? So they can cosplay and act like your favorite anime character and quote your characters lines in authentic Japanese..? So that some how now you’ll be considered Japanese and a step up above normal non Japanese fans..? Because you’re convinced the Japanese are just like the anime characters you see, there for you can live your life out like some kind of dating sim game..?... Anime is anime and real life is real life... I don’t think that’s a particularly difficult concept to grasp... so I don’t understand why these fans act they way they do.. Its a mystery..

Sorry for the rant VV;; got a little longer the expected...

[Hajime Saitou]

Hajime: Yay, I'm hated for not liking something!

No, you're hated for not thinking about this decision.

I'll admit my reason isn't the best, but I don't like to be associated with jerks.

So just because there are some Haruhi fans that act like jerks, you don't want to watch this anime. Ok. You said earlier that not all of them are like that, so why don't you associate yourselves with them. That is, if watching it even had anything to do with associating yourself with a group of people that you don't know and will probably never meet.

I've been around enough of them during my lifetime, and if I can avoid them, I will.

How does watching the anime actually put you in contact with them. Avoiding the anime does not have anything to do with the fans. They are completely separate things.

If missing some show I don't have any desire to see and only ever had mild curiosity for means less run-ins with people who have their heads up their butts, I'll do it.

See above. I actually want you to explain to me how avoiding something that you would watch in the comfort of your own home means "less run-ins" with these people.

I didn't directly state it, but the fanbase isn't my sole reason, but rather the final straw.

Well you haven't watched any of it right? What came before the final straw, just curious. If it's just not your thing then no problem, but that's not what you said in your last post. Not even close.

[KitsuneMaryohki]

I suppose I could buy it and stay out of the fanbase, but it's kinda hard to like an anime and never discuss it. If I just stay away from the series all together, I'll run into less jerks.

As for my reasoning as to what came before the *sshats, I'd read a lot of reviews, and the general premise of the show sounded like a gamble as to whether or not I'd like it. Add in the fact that I'm not buying new series until I finish old ones and there are a whole bunch of stuff I want to start and know I'd like, and I just don't see a reason to buy this. And no, I won't watch it illegally either.

And hating people in general is pretty damn stupid, IMO. Especially if the reason you hate them is petty and they aren't hurting anyone. Elitists hurt feelings, and newbs that won't believe they're new are a mild annoyance, not something I hate. Therefore I'm not being too unreasonable. But picking out people that never did anything to hurt you and "hating" them is silly, and, I'll admit it, hurtful.

[Hajime Saitou]

Actually it's pretty easy. It only takes a little self constraint on your part. Also avoiding it doesn't have anything to do with running into less jerks. Whether or not you watch it, those people are still making posts on here. People are still talking about the anime. The anime still exists. Whether or not you watch does not increase or decrease your chances of running into less jerks. I also find it funny that you constantly call them jerks, and then you gave that little speech about hate. I'll get to that down there.

That's much better. You might want to mention that from now on in addition to your dislike of the Haruhi fanbase.

Are you referring to this:

No, you're hated for not thinking about this decision.

I was turning your statement around and wanted to leave as much of it intact as possible. Whether or not you watch Haruhi doesn't actually bother me. I still think it is stupid to avoid something because other people like it.

I also find it funny how you say hating people in general is damn stupid, and yet you never stop with the elitist stuff. Hating an anime series because other people like it is silly, and, I'll admit it, silly.

The whole point of this thread was to come in here and say what kinds of people you don't like. Just because it got thrown back in your face you all of a sudden don't want to participate. If you even knew that your reason wasn't the best, then maybe you should have kept it to yourself.

That's what you should also do with anything that you want to avoid because of the fanbase. Watch it, and then don't click on those threads, ignore those comments, and don't tell anyone that you have watched it. I don't see why someone would do that, but it's a solution to your problem.

No, I'm referring to all of the laughing icons and "thanks, I never would've seen that", then quoting me, to try to make me look like some kind of idiot.

I see no problem with stating the type of fan that can kinda irritate you, but to come out and use something a user says as an example is fxxing rude D<. And I may be wording this poorly, but oh freaking well. People that are rude to each other are, as I said, jerks. I just don't want to be around them. I also don't want to spend money on something I likely won't like. I just chose to give the relevant reasoning to what I said.

And how the heck am I an elitist? I think you're just trying to be rude and provoke me. It's sad how people act when they feel as though they're above someone else. I actually respected you for a while, but if you feel the need to get your kicks trying to tear down other people for the way they feel, I'm afraid I can't even see you as a person at all.

I don't like coming to this damn forum at all, because, outside of the threads in manga and DVDs that ask what you bought last, I'm always having to defend myself. I can't make any statement on my feelings, because I'm always "wrong" to feel that way, be it not liking Fushigi Yuugi or Haruhi Suzumiya, or whatever else someone takes personally based on my own opinion. It's pretty sad. I used to like it here. It was a nice escape from the idiots on Gaia. But I guess smart people are all jerks, and if you're not a jerk you're an idiot (with few exceptions) in the anime community.

[SeannyB]

- Anyone who thinks that animation > story.How is that an invalid viewpoint? Shouldn't fans of animation be allowed to like animation in itself? I'm actually bothered by people who think storytelling is at all times the primary aspect of animation, motion pictures, or (oh man) music. I'm fine with storytelling playing second fiddle to animation in anime -- things like Cat Soup, Dead Leaves, or your favorite battle or otherwise superbly-animated scene from your favorite anime... the things that express the sheer joy, energy, and/or beauty of animation. Storytelling can be a strong element in animation, but if you're primarily looking for literary quality, go read a novel.I get annoyed when people call themselves anime fans and then they pronounce "anime" and "manga" wrongin the fandom itself there are multiple accepted pronunciations for those two words:
The "correct" Japanese way and the eng.speaking "fandom" way -- "au-nee-meh" vs "annie-may" -- "maun-guh" (sort of..) versus "mayng-ga". When I'm talking in real life I tend to just say the whole phrase "Japanese animation" or "Japanese comics" so I don't have to worry about driving people (and myself) crazy with that difference. What kind of blows me away is in the Animenation podcasts, (Ask) John doesn't know how to pronounce Japanese words when he says the titles of certain anime/manga.

I think in general I'm bothered by the boom of "franchise" fans over the past decade or so. What I mean is the kind of fan who's nuts about a certain long-running franchise or series (Naruto, Inuyasha, etc.) but has no interest otherwise in the rest of Japanese animation. In a similar vein I'm bothered by people who think character design and illustration is what makes good animation, and whenever a show brings in a legendary animator to do a mind-warpingly amazing battle scene while also giving him some liberty to re-interpret the character designs, this kind of idiot fan will say that that scene had bad animation simply on account of the character drawings not being exactly to spec. Especially when it was probably the only truly animated scene in a show that's otherwise made out of static character design sheet xeroxes.

I never get too bothered by any of that though. They're newbs, just have to chalk it up to that... everyone starts out like that.

No the diffrence is she probably has no idea who you are talking about, as I have no idea who you are talking about. There is a diffrence between casual fan and scary fanatic who watch every obscure series that has ever been produced and post their pictures endlessly on a forum. I put them in the class of Star Trek fans who wear Spock ears and speak Klingon.

Scary dude, if you ever met him in the dark without a flashlight. I don't know if he had Spock ears though, never asked. Was too scared to find out O_o. I did, however, want to know if he thought he had special eyelids........

Then right after you finish that, you keep calling other people jerks, saying you want to go as far as not watching an anime just to avoid them(which makes no sense). You have to realize that if you post in this thread, your statement will be taken as both rude and elitist by someone out there. Even mine.

And how the heck am I an elitist? I think you're just trying to be rude and provoke me. It's sad how people act when they feel as though they're above someone else. I actually respected you for a while, but if you feel the need to get your kicks trying to tear down other people for the way they feel, I'm afraid I can't even see you as a person at all.

I just answered this up there. And the last thing I want is respect, but thanks for the offer. If I am provoking you then that's great. I would much rather see how someone responds while being flamed than when they are calm, so that I get to see how they handle pressure...on an anonymous forum on the internet. You said something dumb. I'm sorry but there's no other way to word that. Enjoying a fictional product in private does not have anything to do with it's fanbase, at all. Check the bottom of this post if you want to actually say something important.

I don't like coming to this damn forum at all, because, outside of the threads in manga and DVDs that ask what you bought last, I'm always having to defend myself.

Maybe you should think about why that keeps happening.

I can't make any statement on my feelings, because I'm always "wrong" to feel that way, be it not liking Fushigi Yuugi or Haruhi Suzumiya, or whatever else someone takes personally based on my own opinion.

But I thought not watching a series with fans that are jerks, will help you avoid them? I guess it isn't working.

It's pretty sad. I used to like it here. It was a nice escape from the idiots on Gaia. But I guess smart people are all jerks, and if you're not a jerk you're an idiot (with few exceptions) in the anime community.

Boohoo.

By the way, you hardly responded to my post. All you did was whine, which is exactly why you're in this situation. Here it is again:

Actually it's pretty easy. It only takes a little self constraint on your part. Also avoiding it doesn't have anything to do with running into less jerks. Whether or not you watch it, those people are still making posts on here. People are still talking about the anime. The anime still exists. Whether or not you watch does not increase or decrease your chances of running into less jerks.

If you can give me some kind of rational explanation as to how not watching an anime will help you avoid the fans, then I will get off your back. Look at what I quoted here, and try to actually respond to what's in the post instead of whining about it and avoiding the question.
