I've never really heard of a 'casual' anime fan; and I still don't believe you can be an anime fan if you haven't seen multiple anime... I just don't think it works that way. I'd say if you REALLY LIKE 5+ anime shows, then you're a fan of anime in general, you're attracted to the japanese animation style. But if you've only seen and liked ONE show done in the japanese animation style, how can you say you're a fan of the style?

Let me ask you this. If you met someone who liked The Simpsons but disliked all other american cartoons they'd ever seen or just hadn't seen any others aside from The Simpsons in their life, would you consider them a fan of american cartoons?

Or if someone really likes peaches but has never tried another type of fruit, are they a fruit lover?

Just because someone owns a cat and loves that pet cat to death- does that make them a cat lover?

No. :/ It just means they like The Simpsons, or they like peaches, or they love their pet cat.

If someone watches and loves Naruto but has never seen another japanese cartoon in their life, they're not a fan of anime, they're just into Naruto.

I actually agree, I just don't completely.

But it's more by circumstance, imo.
