One, that you absolutely fucking love. It's possible to have a pl over 2k and not be a true fan.
50 at the minimum
All of them.
none. from what I've gathered the people who love talking about anime the most have seen the least
20 is probably a good number, 5-10 from your favorite genre, some others to broaden horizons.
By 20 i mean franchises, not that mal faggotry where they count each season of gintama as a different anime.
I think I really started to consider myself one by the time I had seen 50 or so.
According to myanimelist I watched 130 animes if we include all series, movies and OVA.
N+1 where N is the number of anime you've already watched.
Just like anime and want to watch it more and know it more.
Definitely not over 50.
Just don't watch garbage and you can consider yourself a real fan. There are so many people who have completed hundreds of shows, yet most of it is seasonal filler garbage that doesn't really amount to any substance. I would rather rewatch a really good show 100 times rather than watch 100 mediocre seasonal shows.
Yep. I don't care if Digibro thinks I have the most boring taste; I don't want to waste my time with trash.
True patricians watched YuYu Hakusho.

Just watch naruto and dbz the rest is garbage for nerds
Pay heed to my words, newfags.
An anime fan is not a man who has watched over 100 anime once but the man who has watched the same anime 100th times.
I checked my list on MALgraph and I've only watched 1% of anime. I feel intimidated.
No, I know. I was referring to the channel, not the person helming it.
Be fans of the shows not the medium.

Probably can't pick any specific number. It more depends on what you've watched. Only can really say anything on a case by case basis.
When you are able to appreciate a series that was critically panned by the majority and isn't very popular without feeling like it's a "guilty pleasure". Too many misunderstood but good series get swept under the rug because they didn't meet some arbitrary standards that the mainstream crowd insists on.
you watch seasonals and find at least 1 show you can follow
literally this. can't tell you how many people I've seen call others "weeblets" for watching 100 anime when they spend every waking moment of their free time shoveling seasonal garbage until they've seen 1000+. Like you've watched that much anime and the only people in the industry you know are Anno, Shinkai, and Yuasa? You've watched that much but you've seen 0 fucking anime before 1990? gay!
Its not about how many its about how you appreciate the medium and all the parts that you think make you a fan
>Animation
>Art Direction
>Writing
>Technical Skill
>Characters
>World building.
If you approach anime from an unbiased standpoint and appreciate all creative and technical aspects only then can you be a real fan.
Just watch DBZ, Naruto and Eva. Read chainsaw man and you are good to go
thanks doc
Define “good show”
>unbiased standpoint
so dumb. being a fan is about being biased, it's about finding everything you like about it and exploring what the medium has to offer. just because you appreciate production-side doesn't mean you appreciate it in an objective sense. Everyone has tastes, but willing to discover more about your tastes as you learn about the medium is being a fan
If everything on the production side adds up to an enjoyable show then I'll watch it. Genre holds very little to no bearing on what I will and will not watch.
it's not like the only things that exist are production and genre, and it's not like production is an objective measure. I judge based on production often, but not because of something like "how hard they worked" I enjoy particular staff for their styles and methodology. It's not like Iso's full 3-koma is the objective best way to animate fight choreography, but I enjoy the way it makes the fight look more calculated and controlled. That's a preference, not an unbiased standpoint.
