I love when shitty gatekeeper nerds try to be so specific about their requests that they reveal just how little they themselves know about what they claim to be fans of.

The fact that this guy arbitrarily used a 24 episode cutoff (presumably to cut out long form ‘mainstream’ stuff like naruto) tells me not only has he not seen very many anime but that he’s only gotten into it recently. If you look back at older anime, and by older I mean, like 90s up to the mid 2000s, the standard half season/full season/long season runs for like your regular non-ongoing anime were 13, 26, and 52 episodes. 12/24/48 episode length only became common for more recent anime. By setting the cutoff at 24 and not 26 or even 52, he’s cutting out a good chunk of the classics that any longtime hardcore fan would have on their list. Not to mention cutting out almost every show with more than one season. This guy probably hasn’t watched anything made before 2006.

He’s just like that one guy at Kroger several years back who tried to say I was a fake PC gamer because I didn’t play fuckin league of legends or call of duty, and dismissed me as a casual after he asked my favorites and I told him they were Baldur’s Gate and Morrowind, because he’d never heard of them so clearly I was full of it.
