Not really. I have friends who rip on me about it but everyone has something about themselves that you can rip on so who cares. As for strangers - what possible crap could i gave?

Library, cafeteria, work desk at lunch, coffee shop, trains, planes, and automobiles (buses)?

I'd try to make someone else feel embarrassed if they did though.

I don't get it. What would be so embarrassing about watching anime? And how would you make me feel "embarrassed" if I were watching anime in public? For instance, while travelling in a train. Would you just point at me and call me a faggot?

For me anime is just another form of entertainment and I see nothing embarrassing about it, even if it's some ero-guro hentai. I usually watch it alone at home, but sometimes I watch anime while travelling in a train. And why would I care about opinions of some strangers? I'll probably never see them again anyway. However, I'd never watch anime at school during a class, I find it a bit disrespectful.

I would get embarrassed. I try and keep up somewhat of an image, I really shouldn't, but I do anyway. Since whenever anime gets mentioned I always hear someone say: "tentacle rape desu" and I wouldn't want to be associated with that. It is easier to stay silent than to explain stuff.

I read manga off my phone whenever I use public transport though.

I tried to watch Lucky Star in bus but other passengers just wouldn't keep staring & asking ''what the hell is that?'''

Instead of getting embarrassed , I was angry ;<

People should be embarrassed for watching shows like 16 and pregnant, not anime.

Besides I walk around with anime shirts on just to discover other anime fans in public!xD

I don't watch anime in public. If I did, I would have to make sure I had a stable internet connection and a legal website I can stream off of. I'm not showing anybody any illegal downloads.

My laptop doesn't have a disc drive anyway.

I really wouldn't know if I'd be embarrassed or not, but I'm probably not gonna try any time soon.

I literally haven't got a clue where I'd go to watch hentai anime in public, or even why I would, considering my house has a working computer, two working laptops and two iPads on which I could watch my hentai anime

Well, if there's wifi and my iPhone has enough battery, i don't mind watching it alone in public.
(I actually read Yuri/Yaoi/etc manga during class back in high school)

Other than that, I stopped watching anime (in public) because of all the haters.

I actually watched Paprika and Summer Wars on two separate days during my exam week on my phone, and saw three eps. of Azumanga Daioh and an ep. of Slayers another day after an exam.

I really don't mind it at all. Sure, I might get comments about it, but I really don't care. Its just a good way to pass time.

You should be embarrassed to watch D Grayman anywhere.

I do, which is precisely why I don't watch anime in public. It's hard for me to read manga in public, even, though I guess that stems from me getting crap constantly from random people over anything I happened to be interested in and did in public [playing yugioh, reading manga from the book, etc.]

Too many here people are worried about what random people might say about them and their hobbies. I feel for you guys, really.

I don't normally watch anime in public, but I do carry a manga or two with me wherever I go and read when I'm free somewhere.

Laptop user here. Aside from watching Elfen Lied with my sister, I don't watch anime in public at all.

In fact, only one other friend of mine knows I watch anime.

I don't think it's something to be embarrassed about, as long as you don't inflict weeaboo damage on innocent bystanders. This could involve wearing plastic Naruto headbands in the mall, referring to your best friend as "Steven-kun", or making use of the word "kawaii" in the majority of your sentences.


Then again, if that's what floats your boat... feel free.

Not sure why so many people are embarrassed to watch anime in public.

I mean how's it any different from doing anything else you enjoy in public?

I've never watched anything other than DBZ(something pretty much everyone has watched) in public and that was back in middle school so I'd like to say I wouldn't care but I'm not 100% how I'd feel watching Highschool DxD while some hot girl walks past and shakes her head in disgust. My parents know and don't have a problem with it though.

I never watched anime in public, so I can't say.

Although, I do get embarrased easily by other things. Like being complimented and by sneezing in publuc. I know, it's stupid, got any problems?

I am always iffy when watching Anime in a public setting because many anime likes to show suggestive scenes.

When I am out in public and want to watch setting, I always prefer using my phone.

Anyone here does the same thing?

If I were in public, it would mean that I had something to do, whether it be school, work, errands, or whatever. Anime is for home.

I only watch it in my phone, and home or in a silent place cuz

1.Almost All animes i watched,of any genre, always have suggestive scenes, and when someone is around me, it makes me REALLY uncomfortable.


2. The world is a loud place, i'd rather watch it in calm,silent places,like my bed,at night.


3. People are ignorant, and that's self-explanatory.

Well that is interesting since it kind of depend on your downtime I would assumed.

I know that Japan has a lot of mobile people that depend on public transportation and what not, making mobile/handheld gaming/entertainment very attractive to them.

that would require going to public places, so no.

jk. but in all seriousness:

anime in general: once when I was first getting into it. I had this (ex)friend who hated anime for no reason other than that it was anime. I pretended to hate it to while I was with him. recently, my friend found my MAL earlier this month.... I never told him I LOVED romance anime lol
