Someone who simply likes anime, manga, and thinks alike a lot. Very different from a weebaboo who takes it to uncomfortable highs as in fetishizing Japanese people as a whole.
Friend: "What do you watch?"
Weeb: "I watch anime! I'm kind of a weeb atp."
A weeb is a person who is obssesed with Japanese culture. Many people make the mistake to say weeb is the one who watches anime and enjoys it. So here is the correct answer
X - You watch anime, right?
Y - Yes, i am a weeb.
X - Bro, you are an otaku, weeb means that a person is obssesed with Japanese culture.
Y - Oh, ok, thanks!
a person named liam that wont shut up about anime
Weeb
When a person is obsessed with anime and only anime they are know as a weeb but someone who is obsessed with Japan and not Japanese is know as a weeaboo. Do not get them mixed up.
“You weeaboo!”
“Excuse me! I am a weeb, not a weeaboo. Dumbass”
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.
