Someone who likes anime. Can be pretty embarrassing at times, or have suspicious internet activity, since a lot of anime’s have questionable content in them, but they can be alright people, I guess. As long as they're not creepy and just like anime, maybe collect some figures of characters or something, then they’re pretty cool people. Don’t judge a book by its cover I suppose. Note that not all anime enjoyers like to use this label due to its modern perception. But in the end, if you consider yourself a weeb, then knock yourself out.
Guy 1: Are you a weeb?
Guy 2: I am a big fan of naruto and spyxfamily, but I wouldn’t consider myself that. I really like anime, but it’s not a huge part of my life.
Guy 1: Oh. Okay.

Get the weeb mug.Weeb Characters are characters who originate from non-anime/manga media such as Video Games who were specifically designed to appeal to the Anime demographic. They also tend to have sexualized character designs as well.

Get the Weeb Character mug.weeb is short for weeaboo.
previous meaning: a person who is obsessed with anime and japanese culture
meaning since 2016: a person who watches anime
reasons for change of usage:
in 2016, anime has increased its popularity exponentially due to different major influences, some of which include -
- netflix buying into the anime industry
- kim kardashian promoting darling in the franxx on her instagram
- as a result, normalization of anime in western countries
- "anime aesthetic" fashion, citypop, lofi, hiphop music with anime influence being widely popularized
- manga slowly but surely outselling western comics
in general it can be assumed that anime has since then turned into somewhat of a "normie" interest as (many, not all) people are now a lot more accepting and self expression for this interest is also widely more appreciated. this means, that the term "weeb" is being thrown around with a lot less weight, just like for example the term "nerd" is.
