I want an anime buddy irl to talk abut anime with and I think I found one. I'm Krampster2 and this is my story.

So I just started playing League of Legends (I come late to popular things) and I found out a guy at my work plays too and is pretty decent (sliver 3). He said we should play and I said "sure but you have to teach me." He said "okay haha, just as long as you call me senpai." It was at this point that my power lvl radar started picking up signals on this dude. I didn't want to reply "OMG YOU LIKE ANIME TOO!?!?!" encase he was saying it ironically and also other people where around so I just said "alright will do." So anyway I'm gonna play with this guy tonight, how do I drop subtle hints to find out if he likes anime too without looking too spergy? Should I ask him if he has stairs? Please help me.

"Oh man, these opponents in this video game are very skilled, are they the Red Shoulder Battalion or something?"

"LOL I never thought that was gonna work, call me The Irresponsible Captain Krampster2!"

"We won that video game level, but we played very poorly. Let's not put it up on twitch, it will be the Doan's Island episode of the evening"

Like that

Looked at his steam account recently, he has two friends with anime avatars. This is looking good.

Try this OP

"Hey man, what shows are you into? You care for anime?"

Then hell say "Nah, I watched dragon balls long ago before I decided to grow the gently caress up"

Then you can go back to having no friends.

This is like the new version of the SA stairs question. Why do you need a secret code to ask if he watches a particular type of show? Just ask him what he watches like an adult while you're having normal conversation.

Apparently he is self-aware enough to recognize that an adult who likes cartoons is something that normal people find a little odd, and is hoping to have found a similarly-shamed comrade.

Serious rant here: Spergs watch anime but not all anime watchers are spergs. Except for being a member of these forums I'm a pretty standard dude, work full time, gym 4 times a week, and a normal social life. Don't really get how watching a particular type of media would turn you into a autistic social reject, they're just cartoons. I do get how anime appeals to spergs but it doesn't turn you into one. That being said I don't really like cutesy moe anime, maybe that's were to danger lies. You made now proceed in attacking the overly defensive op. I'll brb

Leave some anime under a sign that proclaims "free anime!" Rig a net trap to fall on him if he picks the anime up. If you come and find your friend caught in a net, you'll know he likes anime.

Break (or otherwise connive) your way into his house. While there, use a UV light to detect if there is any semen on his waifu pillows or wall scrolls. If there is, it's a safe bet he likes anime.

Invite him to watch a normal cartoon and see if he complains about the high framerate and fluid movement.

Release three pigs numbered "ichi," "ni" and "shi." If he spends any time looking for pig number "san" then you know he watches anime.

Hit him with an oversized paper fan and watch to see if he gets an erection.

Put up a poster of a woman with DD-cup breasts. Listen to see if he remarks about how "flat chested" the woman in the poster is.

Wear a pleated skirt and thigh high stockings in the perfect "Zettai Ryouiki" ratio (4 : 1 : 2.5) and see if he gets a nosebleed.

Invite him to come and live with you in the women's dormitory you manage. Keep your eyes open for hilarious misunderstandings.

Ask him at what age he considers a sexy older woman to be a "cougar." If he answers anywhere in the 20s or below (or doesn't know what a cougar is) he is an anime fan.

Set a trap by propping a box up with a stick on a string and using a kill la kill dvd as bait.

To lure him to the trap, leave a trail of pocky.

Agreed, the moba community is hosed up retarted and consists mostly of 12 year olds. That's why I play because I'm a big anime pedophile
