Recently I found someone that likes anime at my junior college but I don't really feel like I can connect to him with meaningful conversations because all he likes is pretty much anime he has seen on TV and Shonen Jump magazine. I have a broad knowledge of all kinds of anime so it's kind of hard trying to relate to him.
I think the problem here is that these kind of people, as well as narutards and whatnot, are beginner anime fans. But I think they are also not willing to go outside their usual anime watching preferences and expand their mind with different genres.
