Where is the line drawn?

Like, you have one group of people just casually talking about it, and then you have another group cosplaying.

i don't think that if you cosplay, that necessarily makes you an anime freak. i'd cosplay as some anime characters at conventions because some of them look pretty damn cool. however, if you cosplay in public where you shouldn't be cosplaying, that's another story...

Neji has the Byakugan. He can see the flow of chakra in your body. But can he see why kids love Cinnamon Toast Crunch?

Fan = appreciates anime w/o having to completely convert their looks to an anime character?

Freak = thinks anime is their life, they will marry Inuyasha, will go out sometime to eat ramen with Naruto, own ninja skillz, pwn someone with a zanpaktoh (sp? D: ), put excessive amounts of hairgel to look like Cloud, wear skanky clothing to make themselves seem like a "virginal schoolgirl", totally have alchemy skillz like in "Hah-gah-nay Ren-keen-juuuht-sushi", etc.

I think cosplaying is creepy.

But I guess a fan would be a die hard fanatic. Someone who dedicates a lot of their time into all things anime. A casual fan is someone who enjoys it, watches it, even collects merchandise, but I guess it all depends on your level of, err, "commitment".

Alone; in five minutes I'll be safe at home...

OK, i know people who watch anime sometimes...

and then i know a girl who watches it on a laptop at lunch EVERY DAY at school, quotes her favorite characters in Japanese even to people she knows don't know any Japanese, says she's in love with xxxxx character, and memorizes the "birthdays" of all her favorite characters so she'll remember to sing the happy birthday song and be even more hyper than usual on those days. she also memorizes their "favorite foods." 0_o that, my fellow soompiers, is what i would call an anime freak.

Hey, look! Finally a different signature after all these years!

When did anime characters have birthdays/dates? o_O

All those hardcore fans are just...

But then again..some of the authors actually include them.

Anime fan= Someone who really appreciates it and has a fair size collection (Me)

Anime Freak=Someone who bites your head of for not saying the names correct ex: saying Sagat SA-GET
and not SA-GOT or Ryu Rhy-You and not Ree-You, when people don't kiss animes behind they wanna drop kick you and hang you on a cross. When people fantasize about getting it one with anime girls with big boobies and go on and on and on for ages about how hot they are and get boners everytime they watch the Fatal Fury movie. People who eat sleep drink Pokemon..stuff like that. Oh yeh and if you call anime a cartoon, your life is in Danger

Trust me I have encountered them too many times in my life.

The anime club at my old school was freaking traumatizing to attend.
They'd always go, "Blah blah blah, sushi, I'll give you some, blah, Pocky yum, and I'll bring some ramen too!"
And then this girl said, "What's ramen?"
And another would burst out, "OMFG YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT RAMEN IS WHAT KIND OF ANIME FAN ARE YOU?!"

And I'd cower.
