A person who likes anime, manga, or any of the Japanese related animations to a greater or lesser degree.
Anime tends to mainly attract a certain personality, and those personalities can be considered childish and/or obsessed by outsiders. However, personalities of these fans can be anything from the stereotypical cosplayer who sneaks random Japanese phrases into everyday speech with the Inuyasha tattoo, to the straight laced professor who you took for Econ 1 in college.

Well, a lot of people like to classify anime nerds.
The truth is, anime nerds don't need to be classified.
Your average nerd likes to read manga, watch anime (Japanese cartoons), and converse about it.
There's also a possibility he/she likes to cosplay, which isn't shameful in the slightest. Those who criticize extensively should probably be studying.
Do anime nerds care about your opinion? Probably not.
-You have your pervs too, but they're not worth mentioning.

Popular Guy- Hey, look at those anime nerds, they're so stupid.
Friend- Dude, you got a D on your last test. You're not going to make it into college if you don't study.

a category of nerds who are highly interested in anime and often anything related to japan. They usually have average or below average intelligence (although often like to think of themselves as being smarter than the average person) . They normally wear large, ill-fitted, and either baggy or too-tight clothes. They will often have unkempt and messy appearances, with alot of acne blemishes and scraggly hair and will often wear their japanese/anime themed t-shirts far too often from a hygienic perespective . Many of them are overweight or have bad posture. They often use/butcher japanese words like "kawai!!". They like to draw pictures of their anime heroes in grubby little sketch pads.Their pathetic lives scarcely resemble the heroic and inspirational existence of the anime heroes that they so devotedly worship.

My ex boyfriend was an anime nerd. I fucking hate these people! They are obsessed with anime, and all they talk about is anime. They remind you of 12 year olds and if you date them you feel like a pedophile! Their IQ's are often average or below average, but they have this idea that they are superior to everyone else in every way, but they are completely pathetic! They usually have messy hair, try to look cool by wearing punk style hoodies, or they will listen to angry music if they don't listen to techno to try to be cool. A lot of times they will have terrible achne! For all those who enjoy The Simpsons anime nerds are a mix between Professor Frink and Comic Book Guy!
Tom Cruise: So are you excited to go to the Korn Concert? I'm suprised! It doesn't seem like your style!
Anime Nerd: Oh yeah! It's like when Pikachu...(blah blah blah blah blah).
Tom Cruise: (Sigh) Oh boy!

a person that is obsessed with anime and japanese culture. they are pretty annoying and are always reading a manga book and get pissed if you interupt them. the worst part is that most anime fans aren't even japanese or asian. they have a social life but only with people like them.
Joe the anime nerd called me racist when I told him that i prefered to watch 1960-70's american cartoons instead of anime

The nerd of the 00's. First we had A/V nerds, then computer nerds, Dungeons and Dragons nerds, sci-fi nerds and now anime nerds. I've have had the misfortune of knowing some people with these characteristics.
These nerds are obsessed with Japanese animation (anime), and by extension, everything Japanese. They spend all their time drawing anime characters, watching anime, collecting manga and anime paraphernalia, listening to Japanese pop music, and inserting random Japanese phrases and words inappropriately into every day conversations whenever the chance arises.
They will sometimes argue that Japanese culture and society is superior to Western culture and all other cultures in every single manner.
Its alright for everyone to have one or two geeky hobbies, so long as you aren't obsessed and spend all your time and energy thinking and talking about it. If anime is your only interest, then you are an anime nerd, and you need to get out more and develop your personality.

Anime Nerd: "Hey, what did you do over the weekend?"
Average Joe: "Nothing spectacular. I went to a party Friday night, saw my girl on Saturday and just chilled downtown on Sunday."
Anime Nerd: "Thats sounds so boring! BAKA! I played DDR and watched the Fucky-Fucky Toe Parade Season 2 DVD that I just got in the mail, TWICE! =^.^=" "
Average Joe: "... The hell??"
