I Just Found The STUPIDEST Anime Elitist On The Internet... 

"If we're gonna create cancer, I don't want the cancer to spread." That is the best phrase I have ever heard and I'm know gonna start using it.

I like anime, but I don't join any of the fandoms. They tend to ruin things that I like most of the time.

Anime elitists are just the anime version of r/iamverysmart

"Endless bukkake of arrogance." I think that's my new favorite phrase.

If two elitists disagree on an anime, which is the elitist?

Why can’t people just enjoy whatever Anime they want without being assholes to each other?

Ah, but you’re forgetting the ultimate anime fan. The casual elitist.

Me: **actually kinda likes Naruto after reading volume 1 of the manga** Elitists: *_how dare you_*

This article is basically the sentence "Your opinion is incorrect"

“I only watch GOOD anime” *sips cup of tea and watches Rick and morty followed by Cory in the House*

This reminded me of something that happened to me in college. I joined an anime club my freshman year, and was a member for my entire college career. It was my sophmore year there and a bunch of us were chatting in the dining hall. One of the guys asks me if I'd seen a certain anime (I don't remember the name). I said I hadn't. He asked me about another one. I hadn't seen that one either. So now he looks at me, with this stupid judgemental expression, and says "oh, I guess you don't watch anime much then?" ... Are you shitting me? I don't know 2 anime out of the thousands that exist, and that means I don't watch anime? Mind you, every weekend the club gets together to watch an anime and I rarely miss it, and we regularly discuss anime during club meetings, many of which I am vocal in. So, ignoring all of this, because I haven't seen these 2 anime, I must not watch anime. Then he made it worse, because when I expressed to him that I did watch anime, just not those 2, he then asked me to name 10 anime I had seen, like I had to prove myself before he would accept me as an anime fan. At that point, someone else in the club got on his case and he got all huffy and left. Even after that though, he'd make really snarky comments about me. If I was chatting with someone and they asked me if I had seen something, he'd jump in and say that I probably hadn't seen it "because I don't really watch anime". It got to the point where some newer club members treated me as though I had only just discovered anime and hadn't been watching since middle school. When I would make really in deoth comments, people would react with shock and express that they hadn't thought I had seen that anime. It was so frustrating.

Plot twist: It was joey's article from 2013 all along

"Endless bukakke of arrogance" yeah I'm stealing that line.

Watching Obscure Anime = Elite Obscure = no one knows you Elite = Obscure *ROASTED*

I started watching anime in my mid teens.. Im now about to enter my thirties.. Never been an elitist.. Maybe because I was never really into the niche anime, I'm mostly a mainstream guy... I like them, they make me happy and are enjoyable to me.. Just watch what you like and ignore the haters..

Mainstream anime = not necessarily a shit anime like BASIC COMMON KNOWLEDGE

with that facial hair joey be looking like millennial Jesus

"if we are gonna create cancer I don't want the cancer to spread" I can't 😂

Me: *watches unpopular anime * others: *how can you* *call yourself an **_otaku_** if you haven't* *watch it!?* Me: **watches mainstream** Others: oh god you are just a newbie that knows only mainstream

Joey: Anime geared towards young children like AOT Netflix: Yup Yup, that's a TV M-A

My ear buds were unplugged my whole family just heared "HEY HOWS ITS GOING EVERYONE THIS IS THE AMINE MAN"

Im not wearing my glasses..i thought the thumbnail was Sebastian. Also...nice beard....i wanna *TOUCH IT*

I had a group of elitist friends who basically ruined for me everything..I wasn’t able to enjoy a book or an anime or a movie if it wasn’t up to their standards...we aren’t friends anymore and I’m finally enjoying my anime in peace

“Endless bukake of arrogance” is my new favourite quote

'Shows intended for younger audiences, like Attack on titan' -The Anime Man, 2k 17

"Bukkake of Arrogance". The Best Phrase of 2017. Period. Next step. Try using "Nakadashi" with "Arrogance".

Anime Man: you can give your own opinion on an anime no matter what other people think about that anime. Me: I Like SAO Anime Man: What have I done ⊙﹏⊙

"If you could pick to have any sort of skill set, surely it would be an elite one like medicine or law, over something like cleaning?" No, because medicine can be gross, law is infuriating, and they're both very complex. I NEED the ability/patience to clean. I haven't been able to use my closet for about 7 years. That's not a joke. I keep all my clothes in a suitcase that sits in front of the desk which is also unavailable to use. Help.

As you said Variety! I've been watching anime for over 20 years and watching how the community I love has grown has been a blessing. I love finding people with different tastes if everyone had the same taste anime would be stagnant and boring. Great video.

Don't be an anime elitist, Be a hentai elitist !

I think I lost some brain cells from this article...

Anime man: you can like whatever you like. Someone: i like SAO Anime man: your free trial of living has expired

My first anime was sailor moon and pokemon but being young at the time didn't know it was called anime because it was on cartoon network

How to piss off an anime elitist step 1: tell them that Cory in the house is the best animu of this season step 2: laugh your ass off step 3: Profit

Anime elitists are basically like those people who brag about liking something before it was popular.

When Matthew started talking about himself in the third person I died inside.

Almost as if on cue as soon as Joey said the word cancer an SAO ad popped up.

My first anime was boku no pico, I fucking regret listening to my friend.

I just love how open and honest Joey is with his thoughts and opinions. RU-vid adpocalypse be damned! And not only is he open and honest about his opinions, he is also open to criticism, feedback, and outside opinions, as long as they are respectfully done. Good on you Joey! Never change XD

I think I get it SAO is in a video game 99% of other anime isn't in a video game I like video games So anything other than SAO has a shit narrative! Did I do a good job Mr Elitist?

Aside of being an Anime fan I'm also a diehard Metalhead (which is the single most elitist group of people ever) and I can say that Elitism does nothing but alienate people from getting into metal music. Or at worse, they engage in violence to drive people away (I'm not even kidding) and then the same elitist complain that "everyone loves crap" or "I have no one to talk about the things I love" when they're the first to drive people away by being pedantic, toxic and assholes. so, yeah don't be an elitist love whatever you want, be open to other opinions and share the experience. Be it Anime, Games, Music etc, because the best way to enjoy something is when you can share it with people.

There was this kid in my class that got me into anime he showed me all of the cool good anime like One Piece and Naruto he was a great friend. Until one day I figured out he was an Elitist, I watched all those great shows and eventually he showed me some other lesser known anime. I didn't like those shows and eventually he was saying that I wasn't smart enough and old enough to understand the shows. First off Im older than him and he's got f's in a lot of classes. I went to his house one day and all we did was sit there swing some of his katanas and watch anime that was extremely crap like really bad. After watching more anime I got into a lot of better anime like cory in the house and boku no pico. Also I think he's dead now from eating too much and poking himself while swinging his 8 katanas.

anime elitist is basically dunning kruger effect in a nutshell

i've met a bunch of elitists on the internet and most of them call popular anime overrated, and they haven't even watched it yet. it's annoying as hell.. they always say "it's overrated because there are other anime that deserve more" "it's overrated because it's popular" like, NO. i kind of think i might be wrong, but i think those "overrated" anime are popular because of it's good story. these are just my personal opinion, so no offense to anyone

It's same for music

How I find new anime: *Go to searchbar* *Type in; Anime episode 1* *Randomly click a series* *Never leave my house again*

"... endless bukakke of arrogance." The most beautiful words I've heard thus far

“Shows for kids like Pokémon, Naruto, bleach or *Attack on titan*” AoT is for kids That shit freaking scarred me and I’m a teenager.

Joey is now Jesus ...fuck.

is tHAT NOBLESSE ON THE THUMBNAIL?!

"OH WOE IS ME" LMFAOAOAO i literally cant with joey

Great video man. Crazy how much people judge each other over thousands of things already, to add otaku-lifestyle to it. I am proudly a casual and happy. I enjoy my anime and manga choices. I don't care other people's opinions and if someone asks me for a recommendation I will give it.

You are forgetting one other elitist, Joey: *People who think everything is a Jojo reference*

My friends in high school used to call me an anime hipster because I had (and still haven't) seen any of the mainstream anime that everyone knows (Pokemon, dbz, Naruto, One Piece, Sailor Moon, basically any anime that aired on tv) I think because I never watched those series I ended up being an anime elitist for a long time. Nowadays I don't have much time to watch anime, but I've come to accept that people still like those shows, and there's nothing wrong with it. Turns out I'm just not a shounen fan.

I feel like everyone has said opinions about animes and there's me: I like every single anime I watch. I'm that type of person who doesn't give 2 shits about what their watching. I like every single anime I've ever watched and I've watched a lot of anime in the past 18 years of my life.

The coolest type of enthusiast is one that is inviting. Especially to people who are new to it who show some interest but only know the entry level most popular stuff. They have no idea what the medium has to offer and it's the nicest thing ever when someone more experienced chooses to show them the way in an unassuming, welcoming fashion. When you try to shut someone down for liking something they enjoy, that will never convince them they are wrong, or that you are cool or smart. All it might do, if it influences the other person at all, is keep them from wanting to further engage in the community or the topic at hand in any capacity because it's unwelcoming and toxic to share their honest opinions. Thinking that you're better than anyone else for your own preferences is a sign of insecurity and overinflated ego, and in general a complete lack of understanding of the subjectivity of personal opinion. Being inviting and enthusiastic about your interests is a great way to make friends who you can nerd out with about your favorite stuff. Everyone wins when we include each other instead of being snarky elitist. Anime isn't "your" thing. It's for everyone who is willing to give it a try. Be happy you're not alone and that there is a community to engage with in the first place.

What I find frustrating about the article is how hypocritical and contradictory many of his statements where , you just like pointed out .. I not apart of any community like messenger board or reddit . So I haven’t had any discussion about anime .I admit I used to be bit to sensitive in general to opinions . If somebody tell’s me that they don’t like some thing I like , I question myself “ do I have bad taste/judgement “? But I have also realized that having different opinions make for a great conversation like you stated in last part of the video. If everybody had the same opinion , then it would be boring . I admit I’m not very good at expressing my opinions and do that I would feel timid around people that argue “ what !! , you like this x anime !? Lol “. You made a good point in one video that just because someone doesn’t like the same anime , should’ be taken personally because it doesn’t mean that you have bad taste/ or that you are a terrible human being lol. I agree that also most people started out with main stream anime like Naruto , Attack Titian , Pokémon etc . It because it mostly accessible BECAUSE It is popular . Instead of making fun an person that hasn’t seen obscure anime , then INTRODUCE them to. I think Naruto and other know anime is nice way to get into anime. That’s how I got into anime ( okay the first anime was Chobits and Fruit Basket , but you get my point). When you first start drinking , you go for something easy like beer or wine , not straight for tequila or pure vodka 😂

I’ve been watching anime since I was 4 years old, It started with One Piece, and now I’m in college....and I still fucking love it. You’ve spent your years watching anime? I spent my life!

To be perfectly honest, I think this whole idea about anime elitists is stupid. Being an anime elitist is about as unnecessary as telling someone Dr Pepper is a shit drink and they're stupid for drinking Dr Pepper and praising themselves for having taste in the more obscure drinks like Mr Pibb. Anime is a form of art and entertainment, which is both subjective and variable. Watching anime is not a professional sport or competition. There are no winners or losers in the anime audience. There's just viewers. So an anime elitist that takes pride in insulting other people in their taste in anime while praising their own "better quality" taste is no better than a bully. That's just my personal take. If you don't like the stuff that I like, that's fine, but you have no right to take away my right to enjoy the stuff that I like.

I know he was just quoting the article, but when he said “Naruto is shet” I died a little on the inside

Man u draggged him enough i dont even have to go roast him 😂😂😂

me- "Anime was a mistake...." **watching anime** ...all day

This was beautiful I shred a tear at the end :)

Article: but elitism is a good thing Me: *instant face palm*

He sounds like a Rick and Morty fan.

Being an elitist doesn't mean that your opinion is always right. Elitists are people who think their 'correct' opinions grant them the right to be relatively right. There's a reason opinions are called opinions. THEY'RE NOT FACTS.

Pfft... casuals. I bet you've never even seen anime classics like Euphoria and Rance: the quest for Hikari

i'm glad i was never an elitist lol

7:21 is this guy... seriously being an elitist about elitism? like, he's literally complaining about "casual elitists"

Bleach doesn't even cut it for this article. Oxi Clean. Gets the tough stains out.

Watch this has actually made me realize that one of my friends in high school was an Elitist. She would always turn her nose up at anime that I found entertaining and enjoyed and wouldn't let me have my opinion on who I preferred who in the series. It had to be her way or the high way and that's why I would get so pissed off at her and at one point I wanted to stop being friends with her because of her shitty personality when it came to the shows that I liked (yes, I'm a fujoshi when I shipped two guys instead of her favorite girl character and one of the guys from my ship, she would get pissed and try to force her opinion on me, it was extremely irritating and made me want to slap her since I never dissed anything she liked. She just didn't like the fact that I didn't agree with her)

youve said learner driver more in this video than i have in my entire life xD

He speaks truth. No no. He spits truth

And his name is Joey The Anime man!! JK

You said “open mine/your mind” so many times every time you said it all I could think of is the vine “Open Your Minnd...” hopefully u know what I’m talking about XD

Great editing btw, really emphasizes your point 👌🏼👌🏼

Im elitist, I watched Digimon instead of Pokemon

Bruh, your hair looking wackier than SAO Season II

6:24 is definitely Nuxtaku he makes the most basic shounen sound like masterpieces by solely focusing on their good traits

I'm the fence sitter enjoying my popcorn while watching elitists and casuals arguing lol

Do you know what that guy needs.......Flex Tape!!!!!!!

Well I've encountered many anime fans and this is what I realized. Stages of being anime fan Casual --> Elitist --> Doesn't give a fuck anymore. I'm on the last stage now. I watch what I think is good/great and don't give a fuck to the haters. I understand that people can never have the same opinion on a matter and I respect that. We can't have the same brain anyway so why argue in a medium of entertainment?

I had a phase hating on mainstream anime and am so glad I learned better. Recently, someone called me a noob (really, a noob?) for watching the anime I do now, but I know he isn't worth my time. Watch what you want to watch ♡

When I started watching Anime I started with Sailor Moon, Inuyasha, Rurouni Kenshin and Slayers and honestly let people have their own opinions. I know that my opinion about my favorite anime differs from others but its still ok to have them anyway.

It funny, this isn’t a new concept. This kinda thing rubs people the wrong way.People who are new to anime and are looking for people to talk about anime really can’t fit in.This also makes them afraid to like anime. My first anime was Soul Eater and Fairy tail and when people said my taste was bad I stoped watching for a while because people had rubbed me the wrong way. Elitist are trying to be prove that they are true anime fan and it really hurts the community. The only way to get out of this thought process is to being open minded. Instead of bashing people, just recommend something new to them based on there taste. For example If you they like Tokyo ghoul recommend another creepy or psychological anime like Death Parade.

"judge anime by its synopsis, not by what other people think of it" is what i have found to be a more unbiased way of watching anime. If you look at other's opinions and base yours on that then you're subconsciously going into that anime without an open mind. At this rate, you start looking for flaws and over react every time you see something which was pointed out by the reviews you read earlier. You'll also start ignoring the positives of that series to some extent and usually not enjoy it as much. And to all anime fans out there, here are a few points of advice before you start shoving your opinion down other peoples' throats and telling them the classic "you're favourite anime is shit!" bs. 1. It doesn't matter how many anime series you have watched, your love for anime should NEVER be measured by that. 2. Each and every individual is entitled to their own opinion and you have absolutely no right to tell them otherwise. I'm not saying you can't voice your opinion, but trying to get above by pushing everyone else down is just downright wrong. 3. People like what they like and you don't have to like what the majority of people like. Yo don't have to be a fan of Naruto, Bleach or One Piece but that doesn't mean that you look down upon those who do like those series. The same goes for anyone who doesn't like less well known series. I am sick of hearing people complain like 5 year olds about this kind of crap. I don't expect everyone to be friends but you ain't gotta be at each others' throats 24/7. (and no, my occupation is not that of a teacher).

i am binged watching videos of The Anime Man ranting and fighting. it's quite an enjoyably thing to do even though i have different opinions to some stuffs.

""Bukakke of arrogance'' Anime man-2017

I'm just imagining Matthew have an "inhale and then exhale" cliché everytime the motion lines and the sound effect play. It's hilarious.

I have quality taste in anime. I've seen the highly acclaimed Camp Lazlo AT LEAST 13 times. Thanks for likes guys!

This Video is already kinda on the older side for taking part in comment discussions, but I want to leave my two cents anyways since I somehow overlooked it until now. I think most people would consider me a rather experienced person in the field considering the amount of novels,Manga and Anime I consumed ever since I grew up with Sailor Moon, Eva and so on. I'm binge watching all kinds of Anime every day to a degree where I have to admit that I really have a hard time remembering even the titles for more then two weeks at best unless it's something I really like, think has some outstanding trait or has more than 12 episodes to make it more memorable, keeping me busy. Therefore, you might be able to guess I really like Anime and all the stuff this "elitist or not guy" mentioned.....I watched all that stuff as well and I honestly believe that there are shows which have much more dept, better animation, better story telling, better character development, more complex and well thought out plots etc. than for example a show like Naruto. That's because Naruto had a certain budget for each episode and was created with the intention to be appealing to a certain audience. Of course that's no excuse for it's many weaknesses. However, despite knowing all that I still watch my favourite episodes now and then, simply because it's fun and because some fights still get me all pumped up, even though I've seen them probably a 100 times. What I want to say is that you can be totally addicted to battle shounen stuff without any requirements toward the audiences' intelligence, while also watching and appreciating shows like LOTGH. I'm always hyped for this battle&magic stuff, isekai? Count me in! Does it mean I don't know about the weaknesses these shows have? No........ Does it mean I watch nothing else? Hell no...... Just like many others I'm watching this stuff because it might look awesome or because the action heavy parts make it hard to even sit still due to the excitement and immersion in the show. That's something I would never get from a "seemingly higher quality show". Therefore, i think these shows are very valuable to me, while these "better shows" make me enjoy them on a totally different level. Besides, the "dumb casuals with their dumb shows" are making Anime popular all over the world, giving "us experienced superior elitists" the chance to get our "high quality niche stuff" because the industry makes enough money and reaches enough people to make it possible to produce such Anime in the first place. Well that comment got really longwinded, sry guys. Whatever.....just do everyone a favor and don't look down on ppl for their taste alone. Be nice, try to educate new people by introducing the "better" stuff to others but don't be a bitch. Even if they are fanboys who are unwilling to accept the weaknesses of "their" franchise, let them be. Tell them your opinion and don't hate cause that won't change their mind either. Rather promote other shows you might think are good and make them fanboys of your stuff. That makes for a bigger audience and gives you the chance to get more of the "good stuff" in the future. Ok that's it I guess. Hope I got my point across despite not being a native english speaker, really got a wall of text there. :D

This is actually the first "roast" video I've watched of Joey's that is an actual roast. I liked it.

*Watches half the Video.* One Sec. *Pauses* *Vomits into a bucket* Okay, I'm good now. *Play*

I don't consider myself as a casual nor an elitist. I tend to watch around 20 anime / season (even tho recently it's cut down to like 5 because RIP *university*), and I rarely comment about my opinion on any show online. Because no one asked and therefore no one needs to know. That's it, that's all.

Was taking sip at the moment you said the endless bukkake thing and almost shot it out my nose it was funny as fuck

I'm so glad I picked up anime after my "Online Asshole" phase and now am just happy to know someone even knows what anime is.

To be fair you have to have an high IQ to watch anime..*insert the rest of the copy and paste Rick and morty meme here*

*prepares big rebuttal speech to article* *gathers up notecards* *looks down and takes a deep breath* "No." *bows and walks away*

Joey Great Video!

I don’t think I am a elitist but I mainly stay away from super mainstream stuff Bc sometimes the hype kills the show a little for me as I set my expectations too high.
