I have not met anyone IRL who watches anime. At least, none who have admitted to it and were vocal about it.

Yes, quite a few actually. But none of them are as into it as I am, and 10 years ago most of my friends still thought it was weird.

Some of my friends do, and some don't. It really depends on someone's preferences. My close friend is a fan of Naruto and he collects Funko Pops!

Some of them love it, some of them hate it and some of them watch Aki-Sora in the middle of french class without headphones.

Some do, some don't, some hate it, some like it but casually.

Gee...it's like I'm describing people. Weird, right?

@Marsh37 Same here my classmates only watch/read popular anime/manga like One Piece or My Hero Academia and fewer than I do. I'm afraid to discuss less popular things with them but at least I have people to talk anime/manga with that's something I guess ._.
@CutieAnshin Valid fear. I've come to accept there will always be some anime I won't be able to talk to friends about much openly so I just try to enjoy those things my own way. It depends what you like. Niche shows in genres like isekai or harem that have a bit of a trashy reputation might be hard to sell to friends, but if you like some more niche anime that are more similar to those popular shonen action anime, it might be possible to get them interested.

Its even more frustrating when I find the big new action anime mid. Everyone wants to talk about that show, meanwhile I am far more interested in discussing my new favourite romcom anime, which nobody else has seen or cares to learn about.

It's fun watching anime together with them even though we cannot do it often :)

My friends don't watch anime religiously (and those that do watch it at all, are far and few between).
It used to be WTF is meaning, all I know is loyalty.
Now it's all I know is meaning, and I'm loyal to that.

@Swyzen I plan on learning Russian, so I'd be glad to watch anime in Russian. Thx for the info ^^
@CutieAnshin It's nice to know that someone is interested in your native language. Good luck learning :3

Some do, and some don't. My child's parent watches anime, and so does my current s/o. I have had quite a few friends who have over the years. I also tend to try to put people on to anime at some point haha.

Nahh I would kill to have an irl friend who watches anime. Only instance I've discovered was this nerdy otaku chick from high school, we exchanged a few titles of shows we loved just before graduation
