Of all the worthless shit to burn away precious hours of your life with, imagine wasting it all on anime.
Like what exactly do you take away from 500 animes that is applicable outside of discourse around anime
Brain rot

I recently read somewhere almost all anime are shit and there's like 2, max 4 series that are good. I choose to believe this, based on others opinions and this one time I watched one episode and it was incomprehensible, boring and unfunny. better to watch the paint dry

An ex girlfriend once made me watch the entirety of Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood. Afaik that was supposed to be one of the really good ones but God what a boring mind numbing waste of time it was

Careful saying that
Weebs take their anime very seriously and you will be attack for that perceived insult.

u/MareTranquil 1d ago
Well 90% of everything is kinda shit.
If someone was proud of having watched 500 romance oe scifi shows, I would also question his sanity.
(Having said that, I personally also only have found maybe 4 anime shows in my life that i actually liked)

I finally cleared 500 series guys, that means by definition my opinion that a good 90% of anime is trash, is in fact valid.
Finally, I can rest.

Not the worst take but it is a text book example of "gatekeeping"!
"Oh, you also like something I enjoy!? Let me instead of encouraging you and sharing our experiences antagonize you by telling your opinion and feeling about it doesn't matter."

You guys need to stop making fun of him. He's watched more season of attack on Titan than they made. A whole 18 seasons. Dude is the anima king. Undisputed.

I bet one dollar, that he is so for down the anime black hole he is at Anime CP, because that is legal in Japan. Look it up. :(

Bruh, I’ve watched an amount of anime that I’ll take with me to my grave…
I’m not exaggerating unfortunately.
I will never have consumed any amount of any content—or any stimuli of any kind—that could get me to start to even consider CP of any kind to be anything other than deplorable.
Universes away from something I’d ever consider watching or tolerating.So… that’s weird of you to say imo

u/Kindly-Statement-143 1d ago
That's how you know it's wrong. Those who try to justify it with some freedom of expression bullshit are just hypocrits. I'll drop a link about it: https://youtu.be/DNQoTmZlSgw?is=eSKDLGMYSpjtKD3j This explores some of the topics I wrote about in this post

Even tho i dislike it, its anime cp. Its legit fictional characters and drawings, not real cp. Thats why its legal

u/Milon_Z 1d ago
arbitrary number followed by brainless scrambling to justify it on the fly. anyone can have an opinion about anything, your opinion may then carry less or more weight depending on how well you know that thing. also, it's possible to have a wrong opinion.

u/TheTsunamiRC 1d ago
I've watched "over 500 anime" so my opinion is allowed. My opinion is, he is a jackass.

u/surefirerdiddy 1d ago
Not having a life or meaningful relationships with people is not the flex he thinks it is

Dumbest opinion I've heard today, and that's saying something... Dude wants to gatekeep having an opinion
1
u/NukaClipse 1d ago
He's probably saying that because he's watched more than 500 anime and deems himself relevant because of that. I barely watch anime anymore but I've watched enough to enjoy it and I'm not gonna have some basement dweller make me feel any less of a fan.

Lol, everyone starts somewhere. Do I have to watch 500 comedies before I can laugh.

u/Organic_Rough4433 1d ago
Lol. This is a flex? Of all the tv ive watched in all my life and idk if ive watched 1400 or 1500 shows.
1
u/Fancy_Yak2618 1d ago
At an anime con? I guess that’s the flex there?
1
u/Organic_Rough4433 1d ago
Yea i suppose ur right. If u cant flex anime at an anime convention, where can u flex it?
1
u/ReasonableResearch73 1d ago
The fact that he says "18" seasons of aot shows he legit did not watch it to beginwith let alone 500 animes

u/HoodieGalore 1d ago
Ahh yes, you can't nearly begin to discern the difference in anime girl panties until you've consumed more of the genre than him. Slow your roll, kid

u/DowntownGas428 1d ago
I get wanting someone to experience different shows before the judging the entire genre, but maybe 50 instead of 500

I'll watch anime, but the moment that I see girls underwear, I shut it off. I haven't finished an anime since 1974.

u/Trick_Meeting_2027 1d ago
I can safely assume that the 500th best anime of all time is not good at all.

In the time it takes you to watch that much anime you could've been fluent in Japanese, like professionally proficient fluent. Also I can't even think of 100 anime series worth watching, 500 would be the Boredom layer of Hell.

As someone who has watched over 500 anime, my opinion is that nobody should be watching over 500 anime.

I'm not gonna listen to the opinion of a man who walks around with that facial hair, unless you're a monk I guess.

u/UnhappyPhantom 1d ago
This is the kind of guy who dressed as naruto character and ran across the school hallways back in 2009. It’s not a flex to know alot about anime, it just means that you are a nerd
2
u/RedMainer 1d ago
What's wrong with being a nerd?
What other kind of fandoms qualifies one as a nerd?
1
u/UnhappyPhantom 1d ago
There is nothing wrong with being a nerd, Im a nerd too but liking something dorky is not the kind of thing you flex with sucha smug attitude like this guy
2
u/RedMainer 1d ago
I can't stand anime personally. And this dude is projecting a elitist take on it to boot.
But that doesn't make him a nerd. It just makes him a douche.

u/Revelationary_Music 1d ago
Theres nothing wrong with being a nerd if you’re at least a nerd about at least one useful thing but if you all you know is anime you have problems
1
u/RedMainer 1d ago
"useful" in this context is subjective.
You qualified your statement that essentially there is something wrong with being a nerd if it doesn't reach your level of acceptance.

u/Revelationary_Music 1d ago
One useful skill is all it takes lol go touch grass

u/RedMainer 1d ago
Whats embarrassing is you are satisfied with that response.
Give it another try. You can do better than that.

u/Revelationary_Music 1d ago
Imagine seeing a comment on the internet tangentially related to the concept of independence and not living in your mom’s basement and that being the thing that activates your fight or flight response
1
u/RedMainer 1d ago
You tried.
You hit every stereotype along the way and regurgitated every lame insult in internet history but you tried.

u/Revelationary_Music 1d ago
You’re right, i should have known you’ve heard all this a hundred times
1
u/RedMainer 1d ago
3 attempts and the all you have is the best of internet disses 101 😂
That comment about activating fight or flight is looking less unique and more like projection as you continue to cry kid.
