.. and already sick of watching anything.

>Implying that powerlevel goes by quantity of anime watched.

100+

Sorry, I don't force myself to watch shit.

Why do otaku aspire to be 40 year old virgins?

>Veteran Watcher
>Watched 541

>>48433475
Why do you let society tell you what you should desire?

>>48433437
Oh look, another one of those idiots. Yes, powerlevel measures quantity. It doesn't get somehow higher if you only watch "good" shows.

Newfag reporting in. I think just watching naruto justifies me being here

watching shitty cartoons for the sake of watching shitty cartoons makes me better than you

these never include manga for some reason

>>48433475
You get magical powers at 30. Imagine what happens at 40.

Veteran watcher, apparently. Although quality > quantity, really. A real powerlevel chart would have a score designated to each anime based on its quality, so a lot of average/shit shows would have a lower score than a decent amount of good/great shows. No one would take the time to make such a thing, of course.

I have never watched anime in my life. I only come here to troll and shitpost.

about 400

>Implying there are more than 200 anime worth watching

Average Anon master race

>>48433556
Not really. This is about the person. Whether the show is good or not has nothing to do with the person. Thus quantity is more accurate.

Reported for no one fucking cares

I am at around 470. I'm almost a veteran.

I'm close to being an average anon, but I value quality over quantity.

>Implying I bothered to ever keep track

Anime watched or anime completed?

Seasoned Anime fan reporting.

I've not actually kept track, so I'm not entirely certain... In fact, why would you keep track? Do you guys have a tally board or something?

It's not something I care to think about.

how the fuck do you guys manage to keep track of the anime you watched.

Well i've only watched Bleach,Naruto and One Piece.
I'am also not a newfag.

>>48433627
It comes into conversation way too often around here, so I like to have an idea of how many they are.

>Intervals are in hundreds.
Set your bars a little lower, you virgin snob.

Nobody cares how much anime you have watched.

The thing is just,. if you have watched under 200 titles, your opinion about anything anime related is probably shit. You simply don't know enough.

About 260 here. I don't know how someone could stand to watch 1000 anime.

I'm pretty sure there aren't even 200 anime worth watching.

Veteran

>>48433802
That's not how it goes.
Powerlevel is based off of number of shows, taste is based off of what you like and hate

Shit,i don't get you people,i almost dropped more shows then i finished,besides that,it's about 160.

>>48433787

You are a fan if you enjoy anime, be it movies, series or what not.

>>48433831
>>48433937
>implying hentai aren't anime too

>>48433997
I watch the anime in addition to reading the manga, what does that make me?

About eighty-five.
I draw anime regularly, and I'm not too bad at it.
I'm even learning Japanese and have a couple hundred Kanji under my belt on top of getting As in the classes I took.
I've met several exchange student through class and occasionally have drinking nights with them. One of which is a tremendous Otaku/lolicon.
YFW: what the fuck are you doing with your life.

I've completed 47 total anime series, according to my MAL.

Less than 10. I am awesome. XD

Hey OP, sorry I don't count how many anime's I've watched because I'm not a faggot.

+ for posting a topic like this you have probably seen under 50 anime shows yourself.

I got like 60. But that's only what I remember.

112. 92 TV shows.

But how many really good animus are out there? It's roughly 10 good series per year.

Watching lots of japanese cartoons. How difficult

Sometimes I feel like I'm going to run out of good shows to watch, though I'm still under one hundred. Should I not worry?

Over 9000... I'm a fucking God.

are there even moren than 1000 animus?

>>48434260

Depends on how expansive your tastes are, how willing you are to watch older anime, and how resourceful you are in finding lesser-known titles.

>>48434260
Not at all,
you just need to expand your horizons by watching one or two shows of genres that previously seemed unappealing to you
You may end up finding something you like

>>48434203

I just find it funny that people enjoy horribly animated adaptations when you can read the same thing in less than half the time

>>48434290
There certainly are.

>>48433546
It's because they're only made by faggots who don't read manga

Let's see, after all this time I'm surely average...
well shit, 71 completed anime.
Probably because I spend more time playing visual novels and videogames.

ITT: Anons making up how many shows they've watched.

>what the fuck

I don't use shit sites like MAL so I wouldn't know.

>>48434251
Now don't get me wrong I'm not trying to troll here. I'm genuinely curious. Why does this make me a faggot? Is it just that there are so many bad fan-artist, that it has the implication that I too am one?

Good thing I grew up and stopped caring about something this stupid

>>48434260
Chances are that you will get bored by anime soon.
However, I'm at ~400 shows, and I still find something very good every once in a while.

>>48434326
You saying that because the numbers seem too big for you to believe?
Perhaps you should stop trolling /a/ and watch some more shows

quality> quantity

>Anime only version.

>>48434303
I used to hate on moe before I'd seen any, but then I watched Toradora and read K-on and
HNNNNNG

in order to watch 1000 anime you'd have to watch 4000 total hours. That's assuming that they're all 12 episode 20 minute TV anime.

>>48434184 implying your average /a/non has watched 200 shows

Ain't all that hard to watch 1000+ titles really, some people watch anime religiously, and they've been doing it for a long time.

Me for instance I've been watching since I was a kid back in the 90's and I've easily watched over 350 tv series even though I choose what I watch carefully and I don't watch shit I don't like even If I have nothing to watch.

I don't watch chinese cartoons.

>>48434396
And then if you include long-running shows like Ranma...

>>48434386

>>48434319
Oh the irony of that statement

What has being insufferable have to do with the amount of shows you watched?

>>48434431
*what does
I derped.

This shouldn't be based on the number of shows, it should be the time spent watching. Because someone could watch 100 OVAs rather than 1 long running series.

I don't know.
600? 500? something like that.

120+, I've been here for over 4 years though so I find this chart questionable to say the least. Besides I'm more of a Manga fan.

Fucking newfags.

Honestly you could watch 40 series of varied genres and know everything you need to know about anime in a meta context. By then you know the terms, the cliches, etc everything.

Past that it is just learning stuff specific to a given series and seeing references to other series.

Anime isnt some big complicated subject requiring thousands of hours of study you dipshits. Newfags are only people who have watched <10 series or only watch a single genre or type of show

That is what newfags actually believe.

since i usually complete a manga series once every day or so.

>>48434520
You're reading too slow then. you should at least be able to read around 16 chapters for every one episode.

107, I still have ways to go.

359

Seems to be a pretty accurate ranking system.

I don't care because I don't judge people on how many shows they've watched nor do I watch shows simply to boost my total viewed. I watch what looks interesting and enjoy it and that's that.

I'm a 4chan level otaku. I don't talk with you chumps in anime club, I don't read your "anime magazine" with new releases I saw two years ago. I don't need to go to a club full of fat smelly people to watch Full Metal Alchemist all over again. I've got fuckin' live feed torrents of the newest animes you haven't even hear of, and figures from said anime being shipped to my house so I can masturbate on them.

>>48433831
So 8000 things, going by 90% shit rule of thumb, thats 800 series worth watching.
If each was a 12 episode series, thats 3200 hours of good anime. And that is probably an overestimate since good stuff tends to be shorter iin length

I wonder how many shows you have to watch in Japan to be a veteran, since they don't seem to milk the Internet as much as we do.

126 shows, 19 films. I'm relatively new to anime.

the majority of anons here are insufferable newfags simply because they prefer newer styles over the old ones.

Does this include shows that I've dropped? And does it include movies and OVAs and shit or just TV?

Because if it includes neither, I'm insufferable

I've probably started more than 1000 anime...

yet probably finished none of them.

This creates an odd phenomenon where I probably have less than 50 completed under my belt... yet I'm still FOREVER ALONE because I've still done nothing but watch anime for years.

>>48434684
So with those, again with 90% shit, it is
tv: 243 good series
ova: 140
movie: 142

So after ~525 you are probably wasting your time watching shit?

>powerlevel based on anime watched

That's hardly a good way to rank powerlevel.

For instance, I've watched around 90 series (not counting movies and OVAs), but I also know Japanese, browse 2ch, pixiv, Nico, and Japanese blogs regularly, and have played a ton of VNs and Japanese games. Surely I have a higher powerlevel than someone who just plain watches anime.

I'm not proud of it at all, but what can you do.

I watched Naruto Bleach One Piece. Feels good man

>>48435053
my god, where will it stop

>>48435061
But how can you say you love anime if you won't even eat its poop?

I stopped counting and giving a crap about how much I watched around 400, which was several years ago. Assuming I kept up the same track record for watching anime, I probably fall under Veteran Watcher right now.

I don't feel nearly as happy about this as I probably should.
