| No, it's my hobby. If someone doesn't like a hobby of mine that doesn't hurt anybody he/she can fuck off. |
| Nah I'm quite open about it, if someone asks that is. I never bring it up myself though. |
 |
| Yeah, I don't actively hide it, but also try not to mention it. Too many people are judgemental and ignorant. |
| No, I wear my Fairy Tail necklace wherever I go, though I doubt people who don't watch anime would recognise it or care about it, anyway. I also openly talk about anime with my friend and bro, even in public. There's no need to hide it, lol. |
| Nope. I don't give a fuck what other people thinks about me. Nor do I give a slightest fuck about them too. |
 |
| I share my like of anime and even give an explanation of what it is to strangers, try to lure them in so to speak (laughs evilly). I am kind of surprised that some people felt that they would need to hide their interest in anime, seems odd. |
| Not really, I just don't say it outright. But if the conversation topic happens to be about anime, I would usually say that I do like it and why. People tend to be okay about it, if rather curious about what anime watchers find interesting about the hobby as long as you don't go full weeaboo. |
 |
| No, but people don't believe that I even like anime. |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
| i do not, i even state it myself without being asked to. |
| Nup, I shout it out for everyone to hear. And yes, I have friends and no one treats me any differently. |
  |
| Well, I've gotten more hyped about Japan, Manga & Anime through the summer holiday's so I'll probably mention I'm a weeb every day at school. Friend: "Hey cg" Me: "Konnichiwa! Weeb-chan desu!" Friend: "Cya tomorrow cg!" Me: "Mata ashita ne! Hint, hint, I'm a weeb!" #noshame #weebandproud #thuglyfemofo |
| Most people I know don't know I watch anime, not because I actively hide it it's just never really come up in a conversation, unless I know they like anime. |
 |
| Don't hide it but I don't openly show it either |
| yeah I do, its too much of a bother to hear people making fun of me because I watch it |
| ehh whats anime never heard of it.. no.. really i do hide it even if someone mentions i pretend that i dont know such thing |
| I don't hide it but I don't tell them either, only if they ask. |
 |
| I'm quit open about it. In the hope that I find someone that shares the same interest. |
| No, i really don't. I even used to post on Facebook what i was watching, if i want to say something about an anime i do it with no problems. Just be yourself guys come oonnnn! |
| Everyone knows me as ''the clown/troll of the class''. And everyone i nmy year knows that I watch anime, so I got no problems talking about it, I spam people with info dumps about anime lmfao!! ;dd |
| If someone found out I watch animu I'd probably commit sudoku if I fail to convince them to keep it to themself. |
 hiSets Last FM Anime List Manga List Clue no. 2: Somewhere in one of the pictures in my forum signature. |
| Uhh somewhat? I know I don't talk about it a lot, but it's not like I really keep it a secret, either. My Twitter gets filled with animu grills on various days. |
| I don't really "hide" it, but not any of my friends really know. Maybe just two. I had friends in school that were all about anime and manga, but I wasn't back then. ;o |
 |
| I don't go around talking about it exactly, but if anyone asks me about it I won't deny it |
  |
| Many of my friends watch anime aswell, so I don't have any reason to hide it. But I don't go talking about it to everyone. |
 |
| I don't advertise it, but if someone asked me, I wouldn't hide it. |
| Now I see the secret of the making of the best persons.

Specialization is for insects. -Robert A. Heinlein |
| Nope, no reason to hide. But like the person above me, I don't advertise with it. Only if asked. |
  |
| Why should I? People who think I'm weird or something are just boring as fuck. |
| WEAPONS - My blog, for reviews of music, anime, books, and other things |
| No, I see no point on doing that, is something I like,I couldn't care less |
I'm feelin' normal, I'm feelin' myself ♪♪ |
| Nope, no reason to do so. I even suggest some of my friends (males and females equally) to watch an anime in case I found it interesting and think they may like it. But anyways I don't see why it would be necessary to hide that one likes anime/manga. |
| Nobody even asks me about it, so I don't have to hide it. |
 |
| If it comes up, then if comes up,but I don't go around telling everyone and their mother that I watch anime.

What if all your friends secretly like anime too and they're just being tsuderes about it. Proclaim your love, OP! |

| I don't hide it, but I don't go around broadcasting it, either. My family and friends know, and have come to terms with this illness (lol). |
 |
| people broadcast and advertise their respective interests, what's wrong with doing the same with anime? I don't get why people keep saying that. |
| No one in my regular life would know, since I don't really carry any merch with me. I only have manga and blurays anyway. Sometimes I read manga on break during classes so I guess some people in my classes would know. |
 "The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." -Friedrich Nietzsche |
| Not a lot of my friends know about anime. They only think of cartoon network or hentai. I never bring anime in a conversation if it's not relevant. I tried it once when I was sitting in class with my friend and asked him if he knew about Naruto and he was like ''huh,what's that? never heard of it'' since then I have never asked anyone about anime. |
 |
| Why would i hide it ? Don't see any reason.Every time i am asked about hobbies i say anime/vn first.And belive me , it's not that common to watch anime in my country. It doesn't have any effect what so ever on my life. |
 |
| No, I don't. I don't see any need in hiding it. I've got people I'm friends with that don't like it, and people that do like it. It's just a hobby of mine, and it's nothing to be ashamed of. |
| Don't need. It's a hobby like any others after all, and nearly everyone here see anime/manga like that, people don't judge you for that. |
 |
Makowka said: If you met me in real life, I would never mention anime. If you asked me if I liked anime I would probably do my best to avoid the question. The whole topic of anime just seem really awkward to me. I know anime is not mainstream in the US, but I don't hide my fondness for anime even if people think anime is weird. |
| Kinda. I don't hide it, but I don't shout it from the rooftops either. If people ask what my hobbies are I'll mention it, but unless I'm around my friends who also like anime, I don't really have a reason to talk about it. |
| I get kind of embarrassed because it seems like most people I know who like anime are really snobby about it, besides my siblings, thank god all three of them like it and I can talk to them about it. The reason I made this account is because I don't really talk about anime IRL with anybody besides my siblings but they watch a lot less than me. I also have a couple anime merch shirts but I get self conscious when wearing them. I know I shouldn't because they're gr8 but I don't know.. |
| <Marisol> |
| No, I don't mind telling people if they ask me about what I watch. I don't know where the fuck you guys live, but a lot of people watch anime, even if they only watch the popular ones, they're still watching "dem chinee cartoons". So being judged because you watch more series that are not 500 episode long is stupid, and adults tend to not do that. |
Play League of Legends here! Autocrat said: Hitler was good, objectively. |
| Jesus christ YES . I DO NOT want ppl IRL knowing about my time on MAL, its too embarrassing... |
 |
| i have a few shirts that i wear in public. i try not to randomly bring it up, but it someone were to ask me if i like anime, i wouldn't deny it. i've also considered bringing manga to read at school when we're not doing anything. i had a phase for like a day where i was ashamed of liking anime bc i thought people would think i'm weird, but i mean, i don't rly have many actual friends anyways. i have nothing to lose. |
 |
| err.... not really... I don't see anything bad about it. |
 |
| I don't hide that fact, don't mind if someone know that i like to watch anime no biggie; but i never bring it up in conversation irl out of blue either. Just have one friend or two that have similar hobby watching anime with me, they are the only persons that i talk regularly to about this stuff and that's just okay for me. |
