| Everyone that's new to anime usually like SAO for some reason, takes a couple months for it to kick in and they realize SAO isn't really as good as they once thought |

| Ive talked quite a few friends into anime, not very hard just had to tell them to atleast try a show out and a few of them kept watching |
 |
| yeah I occasionaly try to turn ppl I know into anime lol and it works I got my brother into it more with showing him opm actually got my best friend to watch naruto/dbz I know shounen trash lol |
| I had a co-worker that would occasionally hear me talking with others about anime while we were on break. It piqued his interest because of all the variety in world settings, powers and abilities, etc that anime has to offer. So I loaned him Parasyte: The Maxim. He loved it, and now has his own collection of anime. |
 You're never too old to watch anime. If I ever stop watching anime, check my pulse I'm likely dead. I wake up with coffee & anime, I go to sleep with coffee & anime. Sorry if my sarcasm is bad, it's not my first language. |
| No I didn't cuz i'm thinking that they will start calling me a weeb without a doubt |
  "elles sont bien noires les pensées des nuits blanches"  |
| I am selfish. I keep anime only for myself. |
| I've tried but it's difficult to get past most people's idea of animation. You know, the whole "cartoons are for kids" mindset. I feel bad for people who who will never try anime though. I mean, they'll never get to experience these great stories and characters. I'd be pretty bummed if I died having never watched Hunter x Hunter, Code Geass, and Death Note. Oh well, if someone isn't open enough to give something new a try then so be it.  |
| No because I'd recommend them One Piece and the length would scare them off. Also only plebs admit they like anime irl. |
No but then I realized I already have enough rep for being a weirdo  |
  Ascended Taste I only came back to this site for the forum sets and to promote my RYM list... Anilist ftw still :dab: |
| Yeah, but like a long time ago. I think 6 years or smthng. There was this girls that often made photoshop edits with random stock png images she found on the internet. She had some random-ass obsession with angels and at one point she used Kanade Tachibana from Angel Beats! in her edit. At the time, Angel Beats! just finished airing recently and I was still full on the AB! hype train, as I just finished it a few months ago. So when I saw her using that image I contacted her to do some random-ass fantalk about Angel Beats! Then I found out she didn't knew the show and I convinced her to watch it. |
| Nah because you don't talk about anime irl. |
| like everyone i know is at least familiar with what aired on animax and naruto.. |
 |
| Yes. In fact i did affect some people with the anime influence just by talking about their preferences. Its quite simple, as long you share the passion and doesnt cross the line. other will be influenced and they'll start taking the genre they look into after you recommend the the first few anime. Finding one with manga though.. its not common these days. |
OyAlinDesu said: How about you ? Have you ever talked somebody into anime ? If yes , with what anime(s) ? Yup, I have a workmate that I befriended because I recommended her Usagi Drop anime. We both love it~ |
  γ I was nothing until the moment I met you. γ |
| Nah, I've got no intent in doing so, honestly. If they take interest in it then great, but I'm not really ever going to try to make somebody interested in it myself and would rather just leave that up for them to decide on their own. It would feel wrong to try and convert somebody into sharing interests with me at this point. |

| I talked my friend into Death note too. After that, he watched Parasyte and Tokyo Ghoul. Really nothing special, but I managed to talk my cousin into anime. He didn't watch anime a lot, he only watched some Naruto and Dragon Ball episodes. Once he saw my Issei (from DxD) picture on youtube (yep I have his picture as profile picture). He saw his sacred gear and was interested in which anime is he from. Week after that, he told me he watched all 3 seasons and that he started watching Trinity Seven. That was 4 months ago though. Now he already watched over 20 harem anime. He really seems to like the ecchi stuff. I mean, who doesn't love some panty shots. |
 |
| No, I hate it when others try to talk me into some western TV shows I'm completely not interested in so I don't want to be annoying like this to people around me. |
 |
| I've talked more people out of anime than getting them in. |
 |
| If that's the case, I won't be using MAL in the first place I haven't since it might be due to me not admitting I watch anime. |
| Not really. But my friend recently watched Death Note because he heard about the live action. I can just imagine him going "da fuck is this shit?!" after watching the live action. |
 |
| Yes. My mom. The first thing I showed her was Evangelion. The last thing I showed her currently was School Days. |
   |
| I've convinced many people into watching one specific anime, but they don't tend to stick around to watch too much more. Perhaps it's because I don't constantly recommend people things and pester them to watch anime, rather I just leave them to explore on their own. If they continue with anime, so be it. If not, then it's fine with me too. Usually they'd most they'd watch a few popular ones and move on. I've certainly talked people who already watch anime to watch many series though, recommending is fun. |
| 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. My MAL Interview |
| sounds radicals, but in my place there are only 3 type of person -1 peoples who likes drama (mostly teenage girls and 40+ YO women or guys who secretly love drama and i had acquaintances of this type in highschool ) -2 peoples who likes or into the cartoon or anime (most of my friends in collages, and you can't telling them if they're a nerd just by first glance... and to tell the truth most of anime fan either hardcore, wibu, or just casual i've met in real life or internet most of them from 90's and 80's generations) most of them including me were disappointed or in rage because anime basically disappear from our national-tv-broadcasts -3 peoples who doesn't like both of them, or peoples who likes with both of them (probably there are four) so isn't hard to find them here.. BTT usually i gave, anime recommendations for my friends, sometimes i got recommended so i only talking about anime with my friends |
  |
| I got my brother to stop watching dubbed anime. |
| My brother, but that did not last long... After watching a some of the top shows he concluded that there wasn't anything else worth watching. |
