"Elitists" suffer from a few common symptoms:

1.) They argue about the sub/dub issue to this day
2.) They tend to drag shows through the dirt if they've been seen by a wide audience
2a.) this does not apply to shows seen before they were on TV, and they will note this.
3.) They make half-ass remarks about fansubs being better than commercial releases solely because fansubs were done by fans, claiming the world about the fansubs being better in every way despite any obvious flaws.
4.) They tend to actively discourage people who are interested in Anime if they have started from stuff like Dragonball Z

Those who think Anime = Pokemon simply don't know any better. Don't worry about them. WHR doesn't exactly belong with DBZ because WHR is aimed at a very different audience, as was Bebop, and several of the Gundam OAVs. Granted the same people might watch them but there are many who will watch DBZ and nothing else.
