What I meant by my last reason: I've encountered people who are considering me "ignorant" and "new" to this hobby. I know not everyone is like this, but when I meet these kind of people, it drops my interest a little farther down. Some people at my school would be explaining to me what Cowboy Bebop is or what Ranma is, when I explain that I've seen those series already. Yet, they act as if I don't really "understand" the meaning of these series. Like this one time, this girl talking to me when her friend comes along and shows her a Cardcaptor Sakura picture. They started getting all excited about it and I said "Oh, Cardcaptor Sakura! Sakura's so cute isn't she?" and they both look at me like "Do you even know what Cardcaptor Sakura is?" And I'm the one who's drawing anime pictures for them! -_-;;; This is one thing that makes my passion for anime go away a bit. I hope I'm making sense.

That is in fact one of the most annoying things about anime fandoms: wannabe-otakus who think to understand anything starting to bug others with their stupid theories, telling you don't understand what anime is, what the meaning of a sries is, talling you you're too new to this hobby to really get what anime is. Most of the times they just don't like anime so much, but they like to think they're great fans, just to make other feel they're not like them. The greates part of them have seen no more than 5 or 6 series. Don't let your interest be weakened by those people: it's the worst thing to do.
