| I have a few who do, but we don't talk about it much. I'm too analytic, and they're from two different groups. If we start talking about anime it'd be just between us. That'll come off as rude. |

| Yes I have some... 2 actually :p |
I'm feelin' normal, I'm feelin' myself ♪♪ |
| Yeah, I have a fair amount of friends IRL who watch anime. |
| Yes, about 70% of them are anime watchers. But they are boring to talk about anime with since they cannot discuss anything without getting super mad. |
| Almost all of my friends watch anime. A lot of them watch it a lot more than I do. We discuss it a lot, watch together sometimes, and go to conventions together. (well, I have some friends who go to conventions a lot and I come with them if I can be bothered) |
 |
| Yeah, they're the reason I'm watching it now. Someone sent me Date A Live ep. 1 on youtube and watched both seasons non-stop.. and after that my friend recommended me more animes to watch =) |
| I do, and they introduced me to it in the first place. It's fun chatting with them over anime and share things to watch/read. |
 |
| I have a couple but they don't watch as often as me |

DarklordVor said: I don't have friends. *cries* But before that, I tried to make my big sister fall in love with anime, and I did it. Biggest success of my life: turning my big sister into an anime lover lol. Just what did you recommend her? Man, I made my big sis watch psychopass, and she refuse to finish it after 11 episodes, I seduced her with Steins Gate, but she felt sleepy just after watching 15 mins of the first episode!damn. But she likes fruits basket and goes "kyahhh" wuith inuyasha. I want her to broaden up her choices! |
| Many of them have watched pokemon, dragonball z etc but that was probably because it aired on tv. There are a few I know who have watched the mainstream ones like naruto, bleach etc. I have only 2 friends (that I know of) who watch the not so popular shows. |
| Nah. My friends don't watch Chinese cartoons. |
| Not a whole lot who watch things other than Naruto, DBZ, SnK, popular stuff like that. Most all of them watch dub only from what I know. So there is some limits there. However one or two of my friends I can actually talk about how things are executed/written and stuff. My little brother loves DBZ and Naruto, and he's watching Kill La Kill, Attack on Titan, and Dragon Ball now. I talk to him about anime a bit, but there's obviously a limited spectrum of things to talk about. Doesn't help that he has a really narrow spectrum of things he'll watch, but he IS 11 after all. |

kuri_kame said: One of my oldest friends was the one who introduced me to anime, and a couple of my other friends also like some anime. So I've never really had that issue. Honestly I think since you've been friends with these people for years, like you said, then they probably would be totally okay with you liking what you like because it makes you happy. So maybe you should try telling them and prepare to explain some common misconceptions? You're watching cartoons, not fucking your sister. It's not a big deal. It really isn't. Why do so many of you people act like there's some huge social stigma surrounding anime? There isn't. IRL people in general don't give a shit, it's just you guys. OP: If you want to talk to IRL people about anime and shit then get anime friends. Join anime clubs, go to conventions, meet with MAL peeps (or any other online friends) IRL, etc. Make an effort to find friends who share the same interests as you do. Now don't get me wrong, it's not like i'm telling you to ditch your current friends, just get more of them. There's nothing wrong with having a large pool of social acquaintances. Forget/ignore the whole stupid "but hur dur IRL anime fans are all losers" bullshit that so many people here like to talk about. It's bullshit. Talk to people, make friends with the ones you enjoy talking to. End of story. |
| Most of my friends don't, but a few of them do. A lot of my friends who don't watch anime have actually seen one or 2 anime before that they liked, but never delved further in. I've had 2 friends that I always talked with about anime, before I actually let a lot of people know I was into anime. Within the past year or two, I've been more open about it and found that a few of my other friends, who I had known for years, were actually into anime as well. Aside from that I've probably talked about three people into watching anime and now they're fans as well |
| Yeah, I have a lot of friends that I can share this hobby with. I also have a lot of close friends that aren't interested in anime and that's fine too. It's not like they're going to judge me or anything. Well, my best friend judged me when we marathon-ed NGE and the End of Evangelion, but that's to be expected. Simulcasts are way more enjoyable when your friends watch them. Everyone definitely needs a couple of friends with the same hobby. NudeBear said: You're watching cartoons, not fucking your sister.

Nothing to be ashamed about that LOL |
| In my old class in highschool there were more people who did watch anime than the ones that didn't, this led to some pretty interesting discussions in my classroom. |
 |
| I had one but we don't talk anymore. |
 |
| nope,but i hope someday,i will have,,who will i discuss some anime that i watch;) |
| Yeah I just walked in on one of them watching Freezing |
| Pretty much all of them do. One said he "wants to move on from it" yet he keeps asking me when the final EVA movie comes out. haha |
  |
| yes |

| Yes, I do. I think he may even watch more anime than I do. xD |

AlneOove said: coming from a personal standpoint, i have no irl FRIENDS who watch anime. i'm a pretty busy guy who's graduated from high school and takes very few college courses so not having a lot of irl friends isn't shocking (really only about 2 or 3). the reason i mention that is to make it make sense why none of them watch anime, since there's so few to deal with. however, my sister watches anime. she doesn't live with me anymore and minus about a month and a half during last year, she hasn't lived with me for about 2 years. however, she does come over to my place on some occasions and we have watched some anime series together. however ever since we watched Black Bullet together exactly a week ago, we hadn't really watched anything minus a few episodes here and there in about 8 months. so as you can see it's a pretty rare thing. we do have anime discussions sometimes but she doesn't watch any airing series so its really just about finished (sometimes old) stuff that we've both seen which hasn't been a whole ton so we've kinda already talked about everything there is to talk about, lol. guess the only things we'll be able to talk about in the future is the stuff that we watch together :x Well you're lucky. Everytime my brother walks into my room while I'm watching anime he's like "Eh, watching cartoons again?" lol, and he's six years younger than me. |

| yeah, a lot surprisingly |

I haven't seen it since junior high. The military is a pain and all, but even here we don't have it. Besides, gamers are worse. I prefer anime fans to gamers. |

| I have a few friends that watch anime. There are a few that we share in common and then we each also kinda have our own niche. We talk about em quite a but and throw recommendations each others way, but we never really watch it together. Mainly just because we're usually watching different ones at different times. and when we hang out, we usually just get stoned a play games. :D |

| What... Are? IRL Friends? |

| I'm in a similar situation, though my friends either have not much of an opinion on anime or are optimistic and open about it, ive always had a positive experience when it came to that kind of thing. unfortunately I only have a couple friends that I can REALLY talk and relate to about anime, the rest of my friends that have anime interest are back in my home town :c |
| NYAA! |
| Most of my friends have watched Death Note due to its popularity. I have a couple of friends who have watched 2-3 anime as well but that's it. It is not that important though since we talk about other stuff. |
| Yes i have a lot. maybe about 10.. But i only 4-5 that really love anime. the others,just watch.. |
