TO YOU, what defines a true アニメ fan?

Some one who enjoys anime...no one here is any better of a ファン 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 アニメ over cartoons...like me ^^

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

like a hardcore otaku?
someone that watches the アニメ on tv または online then goes out and buys it just so they have it, prefers buying all the マンガ series they like till they shelves and shelves of it instead of checking them out at a としょうかん, ライブラリ 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 アニメ whenever they can and reads マンガ in their free time, someone that watches the drama corresponding to the マンガ they like just to see how it was butchered または portrayed, and yeah (:

Someone that watches アニメ もっと見る than 3 hrs a 日 jst like me^^! n prefers アニメ 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 アニメ 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 アニメ is,(and maybe even get them to like it!)

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