Someone who constantly complains about something else and usually hopes that someone else will listen to them. Nowadays, the most common places to find them are on Internet forums or on youtube and they usually will complain and whine on videos or topics about fictional characters or any other part of fiction instead of complaining about real life.
A whiner is someone that never stops complaining and I just saw one of those on youtube, since that place seems to be infested with them.

One of the best anime to come out of Japan during the 1990s. It is not for anime fans whose main interests lie with shows with lots of action or romance. This is one of the most thought provoking shows ever, as it explores philosophical ideas such as the nature of reality, perception, solipcism and the idea of God. As usual with these types of shows, prepare for lots of philosophical exploration, psychology and several instances of mind screw. It is one of the more experimental shows to come out as it shows heavy use of surrealism and avant-garde. It also combines those philosophical and experimental ideas with those of cyberpunk. The creator and main writer of the show also went on to write other thought-provoking classics such as Texhnolyze.
Serial Experiments Lain is certainly one of the more brainy and thought-provoking anime to ever come out but prepare to be confused at certain parts of the show due to its mind screwy nature.

The fans, enthusiasts and followers of anime and manga are anime fans. Despite this simple explanation, there are actually subcategories for this group.
1. Anime fans that are rational, logical and realizes that anime and manga are just hobbies, fictional characters and entertainment. These tend to be most friendly of the fans and can start friendly conversations with just about anyone.
2. Anime fans that are miserable, probably have pathetic lives outside of this hobby and are never happy or satisfied. These will usually unload complaint after complaint about a certain series or character such as complaining that this character is too much of a wuss or that character is too overpowered.
3. Anime fan boys. These tend to believe that their series and characters are the best and unbeatable. Tends to be most common with fans of the Holy Shounen Trinity.
4. Anime fans that treat their series as a religion, these tend to have characteristics that overlap with fanboyism and cults. Any negative criticism about their favorite series will be met with a negative, angry response. They virtually worship the characters as gods and treat the manga or anime as a religious text.
5. Anime fans that are otaku. These tend to collect tons of figures of their favorite characters and rooms worth of manga and anime. This is also where they take their hobby to new extremes of stupidity. They have an extreme, sometimes perverse or sexual, obsession with their favorite series or characters.

Not the Spanish nor English word for dizziness. This is a comic book imprint from DC Comics. This is one of the few American comic imprints that deals with non-superhero stories. Their stories tend to be more mature, adult and realistic in nature and their plots usually are dark, complex and philosophical. Many of their comic books have won various awards in the past. Their most popular titles include The Sandman, Lucifer, Hellblazer, The Preacher, The Swamp Thing and many others.

These are forums and message boards where posters can put characters from the same or different fictional universes against each other in theoretical battles and users will usually debate about the outcome and the victor of the battle. The most popular vs. forums are comicvine, animevice, killermovies, moviecodec, comic book resources, factpile, herochat and outskirts battle dome. They might sound fun at first to have different characters from different fictional universes to fight each other, but the forums are normally less than fun. There are normally hordes of fan wankers, fan boys, and trolls who lurk around the forums that tend to try and steer the conversation away from the topic at hand or try to convince people that their favorite character would win the battle.
A vs forum is one of the worst places to have debates about fictional characters in fictional, theoretical battles that will never happen.

The comments that users can write under the videos on the website youtube. It sounds very creative and useful since it allows fairly anonymous users to comment on the video about their likes and dislikes. Unfortunately, the vast majority of the the comments seem to be from either idiots, people full of shit or people that are insane. The best examples of this are comments from people that haven't watched the video to the end, people that think that they know everything, people that haven't researched the topic or even know about the topic that the video discusses which is normally common with videos about anime characters, comic books or movies, people that are highly illiterate or are little children with too much free time on their hands, people that are insane, racist or are conspiracy theorists and people that are highly religious to the point where they think the end of the world is coming every other day.
What are your opinions on youtube comments?
They are from people that are stupid, full of shit, or are just plain nuts.

An amazing anime series that isn't for fans of anime with lots of action and easy to understand dialogue. The entire series revolves around quantum mechanics, alternate universes and the unlimited amount of possibilities within those universes. The characters are also able to time travel and travel to some of those said alternate universes. Anyone that isn't familiar with quantum mechanics and physics shouldn't watch this as they will easily become mind screwed. Easily one of the best though-provoking series around and is a great gateway anime for anyone that wishes to experience the medium. Despite it being extremely well-made, it is fairly underrated compared to anime with similar themes since people would rather see things with lots of action or fan service rather than something that's thought-provoking with little action.
