| sometimes I forget that people are weird about anime and make the mistake of sharing perfectly wholesome clips only to get an extremely negative reaction from my normie friends |
 |
| Only my family knows about my love for the medium besides anyone who sees my mal. Lol |
 |
| I am pretty open about it. Talk about it with friends. Send anime memes in group chats. Watch anime in class and most of family knows about it as well. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
| I don't really talk much about anime (as I've basically seen none) but most of my friends and people around me are OK to talk about it if I feel like bringing up any show |

| I don't go around speaking wapanese but I alsk don't make an effort to hide it. I sometimes make dragon references because everyone gets those. |

| I'm not secretive about it, but it's not something I lead with, either, when I'm speaking with someone. If it comes up, it comes up. |
 This ground is soiled by those before me and their lies. I dare not look up for on me I feel their eyes |
| I have mentioned a few times on this site that my ringtone is anime ending, so an other weeb around me would get the clue. Other than that there is no sign of me being an anime fan, because I don't talk about it. |

| I think a lot of people know what I like, I don't really hide my preferences. |
 |
| If I meet someone new in life, i normally don't start the conversation with Hi, My name is Niklas and I watch Anime, and I think only watching Shounen is not actually watching Anime. But if we have a conversation about hobbies i would easy bring it up. Most people that knows me know's that I watch Anime or read Manga. And if you walk into my two rooms, you would be welcomed with this more or less.  |

I'm a proud member of the Catgirl Appreciation Society. So -  |
| I'm open but I don't really care if they talk back behind my back, as long as i stay true to myself i can be happy. but now it's not an issue anymore, my work friend can easily admit to watching anime. but we don't talk about ecchi obviously. |
| Nobody knows about my dark secret.. |
| Well, I have anime stickers all over my vehicle windows, and frequently wear out in public t-shirts with anime slogans. Guess I get included as an "Open Anime Fan". |
 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. |
| I'm open to say I'm an anime fan, but I don't talk to many people so it's not like I have to go around there mentioning it. |
| I mean, there is no reason to hide it. If you talk about hobbies or things you like to do, it's not wrong to mention it. If people don't like it, it is how it is then. |
| As a general rule I'm not into that sort of thing, but there's some closet anime that I really enjoyed: |
 |
| Most people who know me well know that I like watching anime. It's not something I've ever felt the need to hide. |
| I got a anime character painted on all the walls of my house.. not just posters but big paintings on the walls.. I also have anime characters monogrammed on the side of my cars... And also walking around the neighborhood in anime t-shirts... i don't think anyone thinks negatively of you if you like anime.. it's all in your head . I mean There's lots of people who everyone knows are swingers and goes to adult parties and stuffs and they are not paranoid like you.. |
 |
| I am very open about being an anime fan, why have any shame in loving a hobby? |
| Just an avid anime watcher of 18 years, not much else I could say about myself (that I don't want to reveal, of course, just ask if you wanna know more!) "So...look up, face forward, toward your chosen horizon and just...walk on." - Noah, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 |
| I've been always open about everything i do in life. Surely, sometimes you shouldn't tell people everything about you, especially if you dont know 'em. |

| Im not gonna be the first person to say I watch anime, but if its brought into discussion I wouldn't mind talking about it |
| I am open about being an anime fan and I don't see why I should hide my hobbies. |
 |
| I think most of my friends know I love anime. ... |
 |
| It's a hobby like any other, so I don't hide it. Back then I got picked on because I watched anime; now that time has changed, I get to share my hobby with the people around me. |
"Nobody could laugh at someone who's trying their hardest" -Machio- |
| There is nothing weird about watching anime so there is no need to hide that I watch anime |
 |
| LOL, I mean both of my bags I carry around daily have anime merch visible on the outside, either a Xander FE:IF charm on one or a Trafalgar Law plushie and a shit ton of pins on the other. I have stickers on my car, my walls are lined with posters and figures, hell I even have a tattoo from Madoka. Even my extended family members, who know jack shit about me as a person, know I like anime bc they'll see cosplay pics on my Facebook or Instagram. Not rly a secret, haha. |
 |
| My close friends know I'm anime fan. For others, if they asked or they saw me watching anime then I'd just tell them. If not, I hv no reason to tell it straight out. Basically I'm not secretive. |
  𝑇𝐼𝑃𝑆 𝐼𝑁 𝐺𝐼𝑁𝑇𝐴𝑀𝐴 - NOT your usual shounen anime - Pure comedy? DEAD WRONG - Treat Gintama as SoL/weekly sitcom especially earlier seasons - Ep 1 & 2 are for manga readers - BIG patience for its 'slow' start |
| My fellow anime fan friends know ofc, but most of the people I know in general are normies, and I'd NEVER admit to them that I watch anime. |
| I'll wear a few shirts here and there, but otherwise I try to stay pretty closeted. I don't hide it exactly but no way in hell I'm going to talk to someone wearing an MHA hat about anime. |
| Wasn't until recently I started watching consistently so it would come to a shock to most people I know that I liked anime. Not sure if I will buy any merch in the future, thought it would probably be the less embarrassing stuff it was. |
 |
| I do. Not like I give a fuck on what they think |
| I'm not really open about it. Some of my friends know but I only talk about anime if they ask first. |
I love bread |
| Kind of, but it's not like I'm labeled the anime kid by anyone anywhere |
| There's a lot of stuff I'm closeted about where I live but why would watching anime be one of them? Since Avatar dropped on Netflix watching anime has been a massive trend in the west. It's one of the most mainstream mediums now. I mean I don't actively talk about anime in conversations with anyone unless they bring it up, but I have anime wallpapers on my laptop and phone and I've watched anime in class. I don't see why it would be something to be closeted about these days in the west. It's not the early 2010s anymore. |
 |
| Like in between. I guess more open I don't usually bring up the fact that I watch anime in conversations but when the topic is brought up or I'm asked about it, I don't mind |
