Memsan

Memsan is a term used within certain online communities, particularly those focused on the anime and manga fandom. It generally refers to a person who is perceived as being overly enthusiastic or knowledgeable about a specific anime or manga series. This enthusiasm can sometimes manifest as a deep, almost obsessive, understanding of the lore, characters, and production details of the work in question.

The term is often used in a lighthearted or humorous way, though it can occasionally carry a slightly pejorative connotation, implying that the individual is perhaps spending too much time or energy on their hobby. It is not a formal or universally recognized term, and its meaning can vary depending on the specific community using it.

A memsan might be someone who can recall obscure facts about a series, engage in lengthy debates about character motivations, or even create fan-made content related to their favored work. The intensity of their fandom is the defining characteristic. While some may find the depth of their knowledge impressive, others might see it as excessive. The perception of a memsan is subjective and tied to the norms and attitudes of the community in which the term is used.
