Do you find it irritating to have other people watch your anime when you are trying to watch in peace??

As an anime watcher I usually always watch my anime in "peace" but when it comes to people randomly coming to you and start watching your anime with you it makes me kind of feel awkward and sometimes get irritated especially if its your parent and you are watching some ecchi shit, so i was wondering if it irritates you guys or not.

Well, I just watch anime on my laptop, with headphones on. I only watch anime with other people if I know we're both excited about a certain show.

No one I know would want to watch anime in the first place. They have better things to do with their lives......like watch Frozen.

Same tho sometimes I watch anime on the TV, but i dont find it annoying if my parents seat beside me to watch, the opposite, is fun hear their comments.

I'm essentially a loner. I don't talk much to others, not even to my own mother. As such, I don't have an "anime-buddy".

I've never really have/had this happen all to often to me to be honest, but the once in a blue moon when it does happen to me, yes, I get quite annoyed.

Yes, and they often either make a fool out of it with fake obsession or they're watching the said show with tons of baseless bashing.

Although I'm learning to ignore this all.

in college it bugged be a bit. I had some roommates that were a little interested an anime and start matching with me mid season a lot. This was just annoying cause they would have to ask a lot of questions for the 1st half of the show that they missed.

Depends on who it is. If it's a mate, then I don't really mind, unless I am watching something 'different'. On the other hand, if it's family or someone I'm not too familiar with, then I'd feel pretty uncomfortable with them just hanging there watching.

Not really. When I watch anime, I usually watch alone but if one of my siblings come join and watch with me it's more enjoyable that way.

Dépends. Sometimes, I prefer to be alone watching without being annoyed by someone acting as a cracked fanboy, sometimes with somebody with some wills to watch with me

I watch everything alone. I like to see every single frame.. I focus and relax.

Having other people around distracts me, makes me uneasy and generally takes my focus away because they won't shut up.

I tend to watch my anime alone, as do my other anime friends. I also rarely watch anime in a public surrounding, so it's very rare for anyone to be able to watch anime with me.

This has never ever happened to me. From how my room is set up people can't see my laptop screen when they enter my room. I can seriously have anything on the screen and they will never know.

In the past tho people used to be able to see my screen so I tried to only watch ecchi anime at night or when I was home alone at a low volume. I highly suggest trying to figure out a way to rearrange your room so no one can see your screen. Then just open up Facebook or something when they enter your room.

What you do is you quickly switch to a tab with Kuuchiu Buranko on and if they don't leave after a whole minute you can let them stay and watch the good stuff with you.

Only because I need to concentrate on it and feel I cannot do that with people looking over my shoulder, unless I invite them of course. I feel no embarrassment from watching them in public however.

I watch alone in my room. My little sister is into anime to some degree so she sometimes tunes in and gets recommendations from me. When parents tried to talk to me while I'd watch an anime or any TV show I'd get really self concious haha.

There's a solution for this, it's called a "lock". Been around since the middle ages you know.

Although, I don't really care if other people are curious about my anime and want to watch some of it, unless it's a particularly fanservice oriented one. Watching alone is better because there's less noise, though. If someone comes in I generally press pause or stop to talk to them without missing any of the show anyway though.

I thought it was common understanding between anime watchers to not watch anime with others unless invited.
Maybe it's just me, but usually when someone who watches anime notices another watching anime, at most they'd just watch a little and ask "What anime?" before moving off.

Of course if it's your parents then..... whatever.
For me my parents don't watch anime, so they pretty much ignore me. Oh except Avatar, they watched that with me and they loved it. Though to me Avatar was merely mediocre (and to put it in another way, it's just another anime)
I'm not a lolicon, you're just projecting your tendency to lewd 2D characters.

If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate.

Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too.
