>Ignorant
Only watch normie shit.

>Edgy
Actively avoid normie shit because it's normie shit

>Enlightened
Avoid normie shit and only watch quality classics

>Ascended
Watch a combination of normie shit and more obscure shows, selecting them purely by whether or not you personally derive enjoyment from them and disregarding the opinions of others, including your peers and "e-celebs"

You're almost there, friend. Almost.

When I stopped watching anime and began reading manga.

When I realized how many years I have been watching this bullshit

>>155667519
Kamen rider has gone too far.

I realized that I should learn japanese to ascend. So I started learning it.

He's got a ways to go, it's a hard climb from "edgy" to "enlightened"

>>155671021
The next step is to stop reading manga and start reading literature

>>155667519
I gave up anime for toku and kamen rider in 2013. Please don't post genm here though. Everyone knows /krg/ is the biggest autistic shitpool.

>>155672191
/lit/ pls go

>>155672191
Could be, probably in the future, but I doubt I'll ever stop reading comics all together. (but I did say that about anime so who knows)

>>155667519
>That you'd ascended to a higher plane of existence watching only shows for refined individuals?


Yeah, gook dramas. You can"t ascend and still be into anime.

I sorta skipped the whole "casual" phase. This was my My First Anime recommendations chart when I was starting out.

>>155672483
God damn sempai. I couldn't put myself through that whole list the one time I tried it.

>>155667519
My rule is if it looks like something id like, ill give it an ep or two and see if I want to keep watching.
