^Popular anime/mangas often get "fans" who are following it because it IS popular. Its the same with EVERYTHING, the most popular singers, books...

When something else comes along, they move on. Say what you want, but I've seen this time and time again. I'm not trying to be rude, funny or even "hipster" but I'm saying when I quit being a anime fan 2006, the majority of the "fans" I came across weren't following anything but the most popular or "cool" shows/series.

Before you respond, watch this video and think about how to answer.

There are true fans, but there are also fans that are only fans because something got popular and everyone else watched it. Basically, when something is "not cool", people are also less likely to talk about it even if they like it.
