Well, your idea of anime fan is a bit one-sided. You can be an anime fan
and know only words like "Are you okay?", "impossible!", "thank goodness",
"transformation", "now!" and the like, without knowing all this violent
stuff. It all depends what kind of anime you watch, but it doesn't make you
less a fan (Having all the episodes and movies of Sailor Moon and Card
Captor Sakura for instance, I think I can be called anime fan, and yet I
know very little of all this violent vocabulary, while I can shout all the
expressions I gave without even thinking about it :)) .
