isn't that their purpose tho?

@@aftertone8339 Yes nowadays, but it shouldn't

That has been the whole point of anime since a long time tbh

@@Elitus no, not nowadays. That was always their purpose. A lot of ppl seem to forget that anime’s main purpose within the industry’s classic business model is just a glorified advertisement. Anime was always meant as a teaser for ppl to then go buy the manga it derives from along with a shit ton of merchandise. But said ‘advertisement’ was so grandiose that it has kinda grew into its own thing and subculture that is booming (and has boomed a few times in the past) entirely separate from its mother industry, the mangas. Anime was always just the flare gun to signal for attendance in the forest of manga. It has been, and will continue to, become its own thing as it goes further and more and more original anime are produced (meaning without any manga backing) especially with the sheer volume of consumers are who literally anime only and will remain that way.

bruh I relate to connor so much except for the fact that he's a chad

I mean normie at the end of the day is just a term for normal people, and what’s so wrong with that?

I also get the feeling maybe starting to a bit burnt out from anime like I’m used to be that otaku that try to find shows that weren’t “normie” at from 2009 -2016 and then I started to become burnt out then and then I’m starting to come back to anime from 2018 to 2020 but I don’t have the drive I used to and now I watch ever I feel like watching mainstream or not Edit: I’m writing about Conner and I get this feeling from

Let's be honest, if you actually completed one anime, mainstream or not, you aren't much of a normie anymore

Not all weebs spend all their money on anime, manga and merch. Their are plenty of people like Garnt or Joey who are knowledgeable about the industry and community but aren't dry humping body pillows

so u a coomer lmao

@@byNinjaz we, like the good culture people we are, like to refer ourselves as connoisseurs

So you're human Saucenao?

@@byNinjaz Some of their artstyles are really distinct, I feel it's less about recognizing the artstyle but matching a name to it.

I can recognize a couple of doin in artists with unique styles but to just give sauces like that is impossible for me. I’m not much of a coomer

I guess is like the word "Gamer". There are MOBAs, FPS, MMORPGs, etc. But to generalize everything we can just call the people who play them "gamers" (tho I don't think anyone uses that word to refer to themselves as). We can just use the same concept for "Weebs". There is the word "Otaku" but I believe that's just a deeper level of "anime-watcher" lol no one even uses that word anymore (not that I know of)

@@maiy8786 Weeb is a grossly misused word nowadays

I guess at the bare minimum I’m just a casual

i watch anime, read manga and interested in culture of japan, but having a non-ironic waifu is pretty damn sad, tbh

@@Ash_Wen-li I know right, it's supposed to be a derogative term for Japanophile.

Well, Joey has a scale figure collection. Connor’s merch is not expensive, trust me, saying it as a follow collectioner

Jojo is pretty mainstream now. If you were rocking that in the 90s or 00s, yeah.

He even said that it's not a show, more like an entity of itself.

Sounds like a normie to me

Jojo pretty normie

I can relate to you on a very spiritual level

Weirdly my attention span was ridiculously short last year,so I didn’t watch much anime

I kinda had the same thing. I watched more last year than I had in previous years, but I mainly used it as a chance to go back and watch older series that I’ve missed out on.

Same

Lol for me it’s the complete opposite. I was so bored I didn’t even had the motivation to watch anime anymore

But when you think about it, most anime harem protagonists are normies...

The Danganronpa protagonist is basically a normie for all of life not just anime.

@@ivanbackfromthecardshop8093 So we know who to call when we get into an anime death game.

@@stayskeptic3923 there is always some people that try to gate keep in any fandom that's big. But usually it is just a vocal minority that should not be seen as representative of the majority.

@@stayskeptic3923 I understand where you are coming from, with the fact that some people just want to look at certain aspects of anime such as fan service, of power fantasies, and I think that we shouldn't really judge people that do like those things if they aren't harming anyone else. I mean there are shows that are based PURELY on fan service in popular TV shows such as Love Island, some people just want to watch it just so that they can turn their brain off and just enjoy it as a piece of fiction, because that is what it is. Some people do act up and do try to act superior to others, but most of it is a joke, and shouldn't be taken personally, it is due to the fact that there was a lot of stigmatisation in the early anime community by people that weren't in it that some people feel overly protective of the fact they are in this fandom, which is probably what led to gate-keeping in the first place. Although I don't believe we should try and act superior to those that may be newcomers into anime due to it becoming more mainstream, I can understand where some people are coming from.

He's the protagonist of this channel imo

@@skelebro9999 I agree

Truly the missing link

I kinda like Conor the most

@@skelebro9999 disagree this is the start of his Villain backstory

Me as well: “Oh since when was he NOT a Boomer Normie?”

We already knew that about Connor

We already heard Connor literally say "I don't give a fuck about anime" so it's not a shock. What's a "boomer normie" though?

the “reeeee” made me cringe hard

Or that he doesn't get Vtubers. Honestly, I'm not even sure what does that have to do with the anime culture? I feel it's a different breed altogether, one that I struggle to get myself.

He's more like a semi normie

@@tungstenrat3994 agreed

Word, dude. I'm currently putting together a watchlist in MyAnimeList with the original Mobile Suit Gundam anime at the top.

he looks like the oldest

And Vtubers simp back

@OneFortyFour exactly

The recant is a whole play-house while checking out the oldies is like that baller Pub you and the boys can always chill at and feel safe

You dont miss out on anything lol, you can watch all the shows whenever, you're just more likely to enjoy the hype shit instead of spending time trying to find this obscure, underrated anime. You can watch the hype stuff and once you're done with that you can look up what people are recommending and check that stuff out.

@@DelinaX But he said only so everything you just said is invalid

Probably why golden kamuy ends up being out of the radar for most people despite being easily one of the best.

@@leonardosousa2453 The closest we get to a classic hunting anime XD

Yoo facts all I wanna do I watch and enjoy the anime, I don't get why I have to have a wifu. I could care less about vtubers

kp CEO exactly,weebs just drain all their money with them

I generally see vtubers as a kind of subcategory of streamers. Most of them aren't going to be someone you can consistently watch, but one or two or a few more will have a personality or stream culture that just meshes with you.

Same

Yeah same

Yeah man. I come for the story, I finish the story and move on to the next story. Also, if people will looked into my anime watch list they will probably call me a normie as well.

I used to watch every show at first, but now I just watch the underrated and unique ones (with some slice of life and Vtubers). I love the medium more than anything but the seasonal shows are so generic and boring.

@@pennyomega7421 some are great this season we got wonder egg priority and mushoku tensei and they both look fantastic

Same here But for me it's anime and not VTubers

I say the tiers go normie, anime fan, weeb, then weaboo, normies only like dbz, naruto, really basic, anime fans watched over like 50+ anime and is finally getting cultured, the weeb stage is where your so deep into everything anime related that doesnt even have to be anime itself, like vtubers, manga, games, visual novels, light novels, weaboo is a person whos obsessed with everything japanese related

What is v tuber

@@ducktrapper483 lmao what a jump there homie. From having watched 50+ shows to watching vtubers, reading manga and lnovels. I've watched well over 400 shows yet I couldnt care less about the vtuber culture or reading any sourcr material of any show, I just prefer watching the adaptations.

@@ducktrapper483 I think this would be a slightly better category of the different tiers of an anime fan: Normie (the majority of people on Earth) - Someone who doesn't watch and/or doesn't care about anime Anime fan (A.K.A. level 1 Anime Fan)- Someone who watches anime like a traditional TV show/movie (probably is watching shows such as Pokemon, DBZ, Naruto, Demon Slayer, MHA, Attack on Titan, etc.) Level 2 Anime Fan (the majority of Anime Fans) - Someone who watches anime on a normal basis, probably has a waifu/husbando as well but they don't care about waifu/husbando wars, Vtubers, seasonal anime, etc. They probably also play some anime styled games like Pokemon, Persona, Fire Emblem, etc. but they don't play light novels or anything most people would consider "weird." They probably have an anime profile pic as well. Level 3 Anime Fan - Someone who definitely has at least 1 waifu/husbando, plays a good amount of anime games, and watches a lot of anime. This type of person probably also reads a few manga/light novel series as well but they don't dump tens of hundreds or thousands of $$$ into them. They probably also have at least 1 thing of merchandise that is related to anime whether it be a plush, poster, figure, etc. This person probably also watches at least a little bit of "offbrand anime" as well (if you know what I mean...) Weeb (the highest level you can go before creating an obsession) - This person knows about Japanese culture, absolutely loves anime, plays many anime games, reads a good amount of manga/light novels, definitely watches "offbrand anime," watches Vtubers, buys anime merch, etc. While these types of fans involve themselves somewhat heavily into the anime community and culture, they DON'T create an unhealthy obsession out of it. Anime Elitist - These types of people have watched MANY anime series and have identified what they believe are "good" anime and "bad" anime. These people LOVE to make fun of other people's taste in anime and are usually the first or second category of anime fans to drive other anime fans away from the scene. Manga Elitist - These types of people make fun of others for enjoying anime over manga and are just like Anime Elitists, but they primarily focus on manga over anime. Manga Elitists also tend to make fun of someone's taste in manga but they don't do it to the degree that Anime Elitists do to other people's taste in anime. Despite this, Manga Elitists are worse than Anime Elitists because they look down on anyone who prefers watching anime over reading manga. That's a problem because manga is much more expensive and less accessible compared to anime were it is much more accessible. Weeaboo (Only applies to non-Japanese anime fans) - These types of people have an obsession with anything Japan related (especially if it relates to anime, manga, or "offbrand"). They tend to do crazy and/or cringey things that make the anime community look bad. Otaku - Basically a Weeaboo, but Otaku primarily applies to Japanese anime fans. Otaku = Japanese Weeaboo. Unlike Weeaboo however, even non-Japanese anime fans can be called Otaku whereas Weeaboo can ONLY apply to non-Japanese fans whilst Otaku can be applied to EVERYONE. Gatekeeper - Someone who doesn't want too many people to be involved in the anime community and they personally feel that if too many people get in, the new anime fans would ruin anime entirely. This is a very bad mindset to have and should not be tolerated. Extremist - This category is self explanatory...

@@denamitundso1985 She means some people think they are special just cuz they watched some anime

@@HAL--gb6uf Got it. I am talking more about fandoms in general and this idea that if you somehow haven't read 50 volumes of manga, don't know all the song names, haven't played all the games, and haven't bought all the merch, you're somehow a lesser fan because you're just "enjoying things" instead of whatever they consider to be a full immersion into this form of entertainment and art. After all, who gets to define how much of a fan someone is or isn't? The patronizing nature of fandoms makes some toxic. "Oh, you haven't watched the last episode yet??? What a normie!"

@@tungstenrat3994 you just defined a fan from a viewer lmao. People who are fans of the fate series buy figures, merch and play the games. Those are the huge fans and you can just see that. On who enjoys the anime is different they just watch it and that’s about it. You are technically considered a lesser fan. Why are you getting so butthurt

@@irvinglopes2489 So people should be considered lesser fans because they are poor (re: buying merch)? In the end, to me this is a matter of feelings. The way you feel towards a series makes you a fan or not. It's as simple as that. More power to those who go beyond that, but that's not a reason to look down on other fans of the series just because for whatever reason, they just limit themselves purely to one form of media.
