This is kind of like asking "Do you like video games?" E.g. the meaningfulness of the question actually depends on who you're talking to. Consider people who play Candy Crush on their phone regularly, and people with $2000 custom PC setups and 300 hours sunk into Apex Legends. There is no overlap of interest between these people, yet they are both considered 'gamers' by some. I would say the Candy Crush player is more likely to associate themselves with the PC gamer, whereas the opposite is not true. Recently I got invited to a Discord call with some people I didn't know. We started talking and realized that while we all spent several hours a week playing video games, none of us had true common experiences - I liked strategy games, one guy liked shooters, another liked fighting games, and so on. Conversation about games dwindled. I have watched quite a bit of anime. That list does not include classics like Naruto, One Piece, Bleach, JoJos, DBZ, or MSG. I would have little to nothing to talk about with fans or those series. Am I an 'anime fan'?
