How many anime must one watch before he stops being considered a normie newfag?

>>281188480 (OP)
You need to time travel to pre 2008. The amount of anime has nothing to do with you being a turbo newfag.

>>281188480 (OP)
Get 20 doujins of which 5 have to be lolicon, also get 5 eroges from which one has to be lolicon.
This is the way.

>>281188480 (OP)
just dbz and boku no pico. you're pretty much an expert after that.

>>281188480 (OP)
You have to go to japan and be shamed by the local businessmen for the filthy oblivious gaijin pig that you are.

>>281188480 (OP)
100 of 1 or 2 cour shows (not episodes).

>>281188480 (OP)
it is a state of mind not a state of your excel spreadsheet, brother

>>281188480 (OP)
50 anime

>>281188502

Specifically. You need to have started watching anime that wasn't streamed. 2000s era crunchyroll is still a really shitty way of watching anime. Bittorremt or bust.

>>281188480 (OP)
you only need to watch the One Piece Netflix adaption

According to MAL I've watched 671 different shows yet I still consider myself a casual fan.

Casual confirmed.

When just the thought of watching 5 episodes in one day becomes painful.

>>281188655
real alphas use anilist or?

>>281188480 (OP)
>anime
It doesn't matter, because every normalfag and his mother (literally) have been watching anime for more than a decade at this point. You should have said manga.

>>281188792
ok but are they watching canaan

>>281188759
real oldfags stalk animators irl and hand write their reviews in moon runes, stuffing them under the directors home door whilst they sleep
as a newfag I just rely on cryptic dreams after reading /a/ for inspiration

>>281188759
>>281188834
They stop caring about lists. If you're actually demented enough to forget that you watched a certain anime, you can just watch it a second time as if you've never seen it before.

>>281188882
what a retarded mindset

>>281188951
>just enjoying what you watch without spending your time on updating lists that don't matter is retarded

>>281188882
or I could just watch it again anyway, my dream recommendations are usually good

>>281188989
it literally takes 30 seconds to log a new anime

>>281189276
0 seconds to just memorize it. Having to "log" it seems like a dumb chore you have to keep on your mind while watching anime.

>>281188480 (OP)
It's not a matter of quantity. It's when you've curated your own favorite and tastes. Who cares about how many anime someone has watched

>>281189276
>30 seconds spent not watching more anime
seriously tho, what is your list for? why not save up a collection, either digital or physical, of shows so you can rewatch them anytime you want

>>281189327
nta but how the fuck is logging it "keeping it on your mind" but memorizing everything you watched isn't?

>>281189348
Sick, my favorite is naruudo, I like ninjas

>>281189380
Because you watch the anime to think about it. It's not like you let the episode play while ignoring the screen, just to log the episode later.

>>281189380
If you need to write it down to remember that you ever watched a show, instead of it having naturally left some memorable impression on you, it was clearly not worth watching to begin with.

Or that you're mentally handicapped.

>>281188480 (OP)
>care bout anyone else's has to say
Ngmi
You will never be and oldfag.

>>281188480 (OP)
you will always be a newfag until you learn japanese

>>281188480 (OP)
At least 20 shows made before 2000 plus 20 more made before 2010.

>>281188480 (OP)
Serious answer:
You can't even stop being a newfag, not in anime and nor for anything else that you only started getting into later than the "oldfags". You can watch old stuff and end up liking it a lot more than everything else, you can understand all the cultural references and all, but that's not the point. If you weren't into the hobby as an early adopter, you won't be able to experience it in the same way as people did back then, plain and simple. Taking things out of their time-sensitive context changes both how you will perceive the content itself, and whatever discussions you can have about it.

>>281188480 (OP)
Tell me the answer if you find it I've been here for at least 13 years and I still get called a newfag.
