I agree with the classification of NGE. Shit show, btw.
I'm level 3, but I don't give a fuck about Evangelion so I should really be level 2. :hitler
How is GITS level 3 when it came on tv here? Anything on tv should be level 1
get me off level 3 lol
lol look at the weebs itt
Never watched it all. I couldn't. I'm still good.I'm level 3, but I don't give a fuck about Evangelion so I should really be level 2. :hitler
This isn't whether or not you like them, it's whether or not you've SEEN them.
lol look at the weebs itt
you play magic the gathering.
you are a level 10.
:umad
I grew up watching cool, dumb shit like the original GitS, Ninja Scroll, Fist of the North Star, and Akira. Anything made after 1990 or so is immediately suspect.
I just find it funny that people hate on anime while enjoying other nerd crap such as comics, video games, whatever.

show me ONE WELL-ADJUSTED ANIME FANI know Rumbler is a dog, but I think he counts.
just ONE (obvs i do not count)
i have watched anime, still read manga, and likewise hate anime. it's pretty grody these days, and the stans are all kinda repressed sexual horrorshows. :kobeyuck
Honestly I'd put it more like this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFZrzg62Zj0
Level 1: Dragonball/Z, Ghibli movies, Sailor Moon if you watched it as a kid
Level 1.5: Avatar, Naruto, Dragonball GT
Level 2: Attack on Titan, various Gundam, Parasyte, One Piece, Sailor Moon if you're a girl
Level 3: Ghost in the Shell, Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, FMA, Berserk, Gurren Lagann, other mecha shows, any other hyper-violent shows without explicit sexual content
Level 4 (special sub-level): NGE
Level 5: Shows with adult sexual content
Level 6: Harem shit, Sailor Moon if you watch it as an adult male
Level 7: Loli shit
Breakdown:
Levels 1 & 1.5: Fairly normal, no one would really bat an eye. Basically like playing Madden.
Level 2: Probably fine in most social circles. Basically like playing Halo.
Level 3: Dude is a little more into anime than most people you know, but probably alright. Could go either way. See if he has friends and regular dude interests.
Level 4: Fucking weirdo, but likely not dangerous.
Level 5: Possibility of being a weirdo/creep increases significantly. Could be okay if he's that guy, very problematic if he's "that" guy. Friends probably think he's kind of weird, but he might still have a good social life if he keeps the creepiness under wraps.
Level 6: Absolutely a fucking weirdo. If he has friends it's because they're either into it too or don't know he's into it.
Level 7: Report this fucking guy.

Being enough into anime to realize it's trash and then search out Satoshi Kon material is definitely level 4+
If someone watches Naruto and Dragon Ball GT as an adult and enjoys those shows, they're full on weirdos. Dragon Ball Z is shitty overall but it has some cool moments spread throughout, Dragon Ball GT is almost unwatchable.
Nintendo has some global reach too, but I'm not about to act like old dudes into that aren't weirdos.

Naruto? Naruto is one of the most popular brands in the world. :what

I'm not really in the know when it comes to anime licensing or syndication, but what's the reasoning behind Cartoon Network/Adult Swim not securing lesser known, high quality stuff that's been out for the past twenty years?
Berserk, Great Teacher Onizuka, Monster, English dubs for all of those and yet there's still the same ole shit being peddled.
Because AS tries to go after a specific demographic these days. Anime on tv is dead, so they need to get the otaku filth numbers.um no. It's not like they are showing moe or Loli things.

Berserk and GTO have dubs, and AS played Monster like ten years ago.
Thats the one outlier and it's easily explained. Aniplex wants it to be there like the other shows they've pushed. AS mostly has action and shounen shows.Because AS tries to go after a specific demographic these days. Anime on tv is dead, so they need to get the otaku filth numbers.um no.

If they did good on them. That show is trashy fun and since the girls look 18 I'm gonna say it's not a pedos dream.Thats the one outlier and it's easily explained.

Looks like I am THAT GUY on both the music and the anime charts.

Shouldn't there be a prologue stage for people like me? Outside of Berzerk and an anime miniseries Himu suggested, the majority of my animu exposure came through Mizaki films. Castle In The Sky, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away...that's the stage most upstanding citizens start at and never leave.
I'd have a hard time explaining away Kill la Kill to my friends, but I don't really think of myself as a perv for watching it. The fan-service is basically done to the point of parody. I doubt anyone finds it titillating so much as funny.
FreeWhen I went to NYC for the Miku Expo last year I found a daki of two dudes from that show in Kinokuniya. Was tempted to buy it and bring it home for my wife for the lulz but didn't want to carry it around the city all weekend and then on the bus home. I get a 4 on both of those charts. :uguu

Those shows are aimed at girls due to gay male overtones.

If you're going to include sexual and risque content in your animation make it tasteful and well directed.

why can't someone do a kickstarter for another berzerk :brazilcry
I don't like the animation in the movies....but I might just watch them to see what happens next :goty

You don't want to see what happens next. Berserk becomes bad.
There's a ton of authors who do that shit.Yukito Kishiro revived BAA only to pull this in the end. :stahp
It pisses me off to no end.
there's no going back from level 5. as a recovering anime fan, I still have nights where I hear puru puru pururin.

Only good anime:
Cowboy Bebop
Speed Racer
Reign: The Conqueror
Shojo series where people get slapped (Oniisama e..., Utena, Rose of Versailles, Aim for the Ace!, Gundam)
If you're going to include sexual and risque content in your animation make it tasteful and well directed.Why? Kill La Kill isn't trying to be tasteful. It dosent care about being lewd. Like I don't know why you'd compare it to a character study show with a 70's erotic tone. Kill was an over the top action show all about style and nothing else. It's humorous and at times intensely directed. I don't see how simply because it reveals in exaggeration to the point of even it's fanservice makes it bad. It wasn't for you.

I wonder what level weeaboo girl is at.

p sus tbh :fabulous :ufup
That's what I do and its only worked out for the worst for me. So far.The dinner party is at an authentic Japanese restaurant (of course it is...) so maybe I'll have my own "sushi girl" story to tell. :hitler
I just find it funny that people hate on anime while enjoying other nerd crap such as comics, video games, whatever.
It's all bullshit. Whatever helps you feel superior I guess.

Comics and video games are almost as mainstream as Monday Night football these days. When comic book movies and video games starter making a bajillion dollars they stopped being the domain of nerds.
I may not watch much animu, I review a lot of kusog....err animu games from the likes of xseed, Idea Factory and the likes
What level would that place me at?
