That all depends on the depth and breadth with which you do the two actions...

I'm going to go with Anime.  Being a hardcore Otaku really won't give you any usefull skills (except for learning japanese culture), while playing games you can do tourneyments, game testing, etc.

Not even a question. There are "casual gamers", whereas anyone who watches anime is immedietely considered a nerd.

You know what's really nerdy? The fact that your thread title is bringing out the grammar-nazi in me.

 

I do both and I wouldn't say I'm nerdy, more geeky with a smidgen of dorkyness.

Neither in my opinion. What if someone does both, but not to an extreme? Does that make them nerdy? I don't think so.

If they did both to an extreme they would be considered a nerd as a stereotype. Excessive gameplay yes...

if you are doing both in small doses then none of them are nerdy, its only when you spend loads of time doing something like playing games for example then it becomes nerdy.

I'm going to say anime, I don't like yo generalise and I used to like watching a few animes but it seems as though people who are into it are really 'into' it, and there's a lot of snobbery around too.

Actually the same thing can be said about music, maybe it's just that internet effect.

Video games have been mainstream for a while now.  Anime is still niche.

Anime.

The content and subject matter of video games can sometimes make a paticular video game nerdy.

...anime is nerdy within itself, lol?

Asking this kind of question to a bunch of anonymous people on a video game forum and actually caring about what the poll says isn't an option?

Seriously, who uses the word "nerd" anymore? 90% of people have a myspace now, AIM is cool, and technology is the mainstream, so how do you define something as nerdy when probably a majority of the population partake in something that is part of pop culture now?

There's nothing nerdy about being a gamer and watching anime is only nerdy if you watch it ALL THE TIME.

Okay, I didn't want to half to do this...

Erotic Fanfictions about porno anime video games that feature furries who are secretly dressed up as cast members of Star Trek's Deep Space Nine.

But really, I'd still say anime > games in terms of nerdiness.

the only anime I have seen are some videos my friends had. It was crazy though. Demons raping people and splitting them in half with their peice, it was pretty wild. I am not sure what the names were. I saw vampire d, I am not sure if that counts. Old school stuff like voltron.

I don't know which I find more nerdy to be honest. Lots of people may call you a nerd for playing Video games but then again lots of people call you a nerd for reading Anime. I only play Videogames and have never read anime so I'm going to say Anime as I know less about it, not fair I know but what can you do?

yeah seriously.  If what he says is true then every last anime he has ever watched has been low quality with bad acting.  No wonder he thinks it's stupid.  Hell, even my dad bases his opinion of every anime on the only one he has ever seen:  Speed Racer.  That's like basing an opinion regarding every Godfather movie on the third one.

yea i like anime,manga,and play videogames but i'm not a dork (well i am sometimes) but i know i'm not a nerd. When all you do is play World of Warcraft online all day long now thats nerdy. and if playing videogames makes you a nerd then evrybody on this site is a nerd!
