You missed one: The Closeted Anime Fan. These fans are hard to find, due to their unwillingness to share their love for anime publicly, and only do so in private with a few trusted people.

[@camhenderson2923]

These types of fans are always lurking in the shadows. They appreciate the memes, cosplay, and collections of the other weaboos. It is possible for them to evolve into another type given the right situations.

[@Shaemmeh]

Yeah I’m like that but the problem is that basically everyone knows now and I just don’t know what to do xd

[@cjc4813]

That's 100% me

[@Jokeythepiecrafter]

This ultimate guidebook didn't include the closeted anime fan because they are so well hidden within society that it is hard to capture one for research. Manga readers are similar but it is easier to bait them out using manga sourced anime adaption releases while pure closeted fans will not reveal themselves no matter the situation. It also goes to say that the closeted fan is one of the more powerful anime fan types (almost like a non-sinnoh legendary pokmeon) for they are rarely seen and have condensed so much anime fan power within their closeted lifespans that if it is ever released, could possibly contaminate a 50 mile radius. They are also one of the more powerful fan types due to their kind as being hybrids of all of the other anime fan types. They have been a hidden type that doesn't stem from causal, weaboo, or elitists alone, but rather from all three of them simultaneously

[@tenaciousrodent6251]

I'm an isolated weaboo in an ocean of normies who only care about soccer. But i keep pestering my gay older brother to read Berserk because i would love to discuss the Guts/Griffith dynamic with him.

Nick Yolo to be fair, CGI in anime in general is shit unless it’s hidden REALLY WELL.

[@MirukuKuroNaiko]

if they did it well in the first place they wouldn't have to hide it....tiger& bunny did a surprisingly decent integration. side note: i think to many anime use the cgi for cars, and though some times it works often time it breaks your enjoyment of the animation because they'll do it at a really cool intense scene and then, boom mediocre cgi car chase.....it must be an animation shortcut

As a manga reader I can answer the question of "Where are we?" It's really quite simple actually, you see, we have already read every single chapter of any manga worth reading (probably several times) and so we either scour every manga website we can find looking for some hidden gem or new manga that shows promise. If we find nothing that interests us we go back and re-read a manga or two and we only surface occasionally to complain that "That scene was better in the manga" or tell people "The next arc is going to be sick; I hope they do it justice in the anime." However, since we have evolved to subsist entirely on manga we can't stay out for too long which is why you only hear from us occasionally. Hope I've helped your research.

[@Hayden_Cat]

FartingSpider12 I’m also a manga reader and I can confirm your state meant is very accurate.

[@sanattia]

its very accurate.

[@BlueBird-wb6kb]

Then there are Japanese people aka God tier. They can watch without subtitles.

[@ellusiv5121]

Then we have the "God tier - Imitation Works" where you don't use subtitles by using a language you can understand in exchange however is the quality is always uncertain, thus an imitation of the real voice acting.

[@AnsonEnderBorn]

@@MrStarnger1 You haven't taken to account Chinese Anime (Donghua), which means there are potentially hundreds of millions of God Tier. Yes I can watch Douluo Dalu (Soul Land) and Quan Zhi Gao Shou (King's Avatar) in "RAW" :) Smile.

What about the gamer anime fan: Doesn’t have time to watch a lot of anime because they’re too busy spending time playing 100+ hour long jrpgs.

[@Madmonkeman]

Wait I don't watch anime but I play JRPGs. Crap.

[@allenharper2928]

So would there be a sub species that only plays games like Akibastrip and Gal Gun?

[@thomasallen9974]

I made a post detailing AniGamers. Sadly that type of hybrid is spreading at an exponential rate. And a true AniGamer can play a 100hr+ JRPG and keep up to date on seasonal anime. Where they get the time to do so is a mystery.

[@zacharywalker9176]

I multitask and am capable of playing jrpgs and watching anime simultaneously

[@mr.m2659]

The entire ff14 community

[@wiksolop72]

Some scientists speculate that memers and intellectuals have formed a symbiotic relationship, where memers gather in order to scrape excess bits of knowledge from the intellectuals. This process allows the intellectuals to satisfy their craving to spread information, while the memers parse this into small morsels that they can then share amongst themselves for nourishment.

[@elevatedmeance6807]

*SPEECH 100*

[@thomasallen9974]

You forgot an extremely dangerous new breed of creature: the AniGamer. While it was once a fact that a hybridization of the Gamer species with the Anime Fan species was nearly impossible outside of strict highly specialized breeding pits like the Pokemon Trainers, the explosive spread of both into large number of new species and general numbers allowed for a true hybrid to be born. The primary hall mark of the AniGamer is the ability to do what is once considered impossible: indulge, horde, and live BOTH heritages without critical failure of either side. This translates into a dual sided nature in less adept cases, where only one is active at a time as they must 100% the side in controll. Eventually they learn to do both at once, which lets them slide through the Gamer and Anime Fan populations virtually undetected by either. Its unknown how they possess the time to indulge both forms of media, but leading science suggests an AniGamer's nerd index has reached critical mass and thus begins to warp time allowing more consumption of media. Another hallmark is that they tend to be attracted to anime based games. This is their native territory, and where they spread their dual contagions to both sides, creating more AniGamers. The divide between the two major populaces will begin to blur and disappear at an exponential rate particularly since the whole world has more or less been consumed by the Gamer Plague. While those not indoctrinated into either have the highest immunity to AniGamers, anyone infect by either Anime Fans or Gamers are at extreme risk of contracting the other by contact with AniGamers. If encountered and already one of the two major types, your already infected and will likely transform into an AniGamer. There is no cure possible.

Manga readers. We are in some ways, a mixture between an ambush predator and a hermit crab.

Don't forget shoujo fans: Wholesome people who have a manga collection bigger than your rich uncle's house. Often seen praising artists online, they will spend hundreds of dollars trying to find the last volume of a 90's shoujo manga whose English publication was discontinued. While for the most part they enjoy cute and wholesome love stories, they also usually have a secret penchant for Junji Ito manga, which they will discreetly hide under every volume of Yona Of The Dawn and Fruits Basket.

7:50 100% correct, we manga readers have evolved out eyes to see faster and can thus complete one 24 minute's worth of animation but in it's much better manga format in 24 seconds.

[@DankRobot]

as a manga reader i can confirm

[@chronicnugget5595]

God dammit the Manga Reader is to a T, the only thing you forgot is the constant need to inform any and all people they encounter that "the Manga was better". In our defense tho. The Manga is better. And I can read the entirety of Naruto in less than a week, with no filler, and much more consistent visuals (I'm looking at you, Naruto vs Pain). Additionally it's often the latest media we can consume (aside from adaptations of actual books). It would take me months to finish the entire Naruto anime, I've got other Manga to read.

[@andrepacheco4046]

Or you can just skip all the filler episodes, I did that and finished Naruto Shippuden's anime in like 2 or 3 weeks. I can't apreciate black and white inanimated stuff, so I don't really mind the "constant visuals" in mangá, -but some of them actually have inconsistent art.-

[@chronicnugget5595]

@@andrepacheco4046 The Naruto shippuden anime is about 250 episodes without filler (it's actually quite a bit more than that but this is an easy number), if we're generous again and say each episode is only 20 mins long, that's still 5000 mins or 83 hours I need to watch JUST shippuden. I ain't got time fo dat.

Being a manga only reader is hell.

What about "The Artists", breeds of fans who over time excelled in one art form or another (Illustration, writing, voice acting etc') partially or mostly due to them being anime fans? Usually can be found lurking on sites like Pixiv, WebToons, Tapas, Twitter and to a lesser degree on DeviantArt, Tumblr and Facebook while socializing with anyone with similar interests, but in actuality are doing so to mask their desperate attempts to make connections. All in hopes of making a living from either freelance commissions or some minor roles in the professional industry (which they may or may not be able to sustain for a period longer than six months due to market saturation). Some lucky enough would find a dedicated following and would survive through either Patrion donations, an actual job in the industry, or by getting a totally unrelated job that they can tolerate just for the sake of getting enough revenue while still gaining just enough free time to do their thing on the side.
