TO YOU, what defines a true anime fan?

Some one who enjoys anime...no one here is any better of a fan so don't be in a rush to pat yourself on the back

Someone who has a room that looks like this.
(This isn't mine, BTW)

someone who actually watches it and favors anime over cartoons...like me ^^

I agree with the above user, but I think it defines a person who watches anime all the time and over and over again and just won't quit stopping.

like a hardcore otaku?
someone that watches the anime on tv atau online then goes out and buys it just so they have it, prefers buying all the komik jepang series they like till they shelves and shelves of it instead of checking them out at a perpustakaan so they can have it whenever they want, someone that gets all the merchandise and plushies and shirts and things with the animes and mangas they like, someone that watches anime whenever they can and reads komik jepang in their free time, someone that watches the drama corresponding to the komik jepang they like just to see how it was butchered atau portrayed, and yeah (:

Someone that watches anime lebih than 3 hrs a hari jst like me^^! n prefers anime over "cartoons" D:

I think it's Someone who watches and enjoys anime,someone who isn't afraid to tell other people they like anime,someone who won't stop watching anime no matter what other people say,as long as they enjoy it,it doesn't matter what other people says!,someone who helps others to understand what anime is,(and maybe even get them to like it!)

I person who is not afraid to let people know that anda cinta anime. If anda talk about it all of the time, even though people think it's "uncool". After all, if anda like anime, it shouldn't matter what others think. I am the only one of my friends that likes anime, but I always talk about it with my guy friends. We are considered the "nerds" and "geeks". But if anda ask me, it is fun to be known as the "nerd" XD Go anime and manga!!!!!!!!!
