As a 13 year old male nerd who just recently found anime I am embarressed if people are in the room when I watch anime or any female on screen (my mother calls anything sexist.) do any of you get embarresed watching anime in public. One time I had to explain a maid cafe to my mother.... I felt like I was going to die. I was just wandering if anyone else was and how to not be embarressed. (I know this is the most stupid post on any forum but oh well)


EDIT: forgot to mention I have no way of watching anime except the computer in our living room and a old 5 year old ipod but I cant watch any thing legal on it :(

Nah, you're fine. Not the best thread, but certainty not the stupidest I've seen.

OnT: No, I don't have this issue. I best, I try to get my parents to watch some as well.

Just this once, I'll fulfill whatever your wish is.

it depends on the society you live in since here in the country of the philippines anime is accepted by young and old people so no pressure and shame on watching most anime

Why would I be in that situation in the first place? I don't watch anime in public.

I think maid cafes are pretty sexist.

Hmm, I don't get embarrassed watching anime in public. You shouldn't too because it's perfectly fine just don't give a fuck on what they think about it.

Nah not really. I've actually gotten some of my friends into it as well. One of my goals is to get as many people into anime as I can haha. That way, people like OP don't need to even worry about watching anime in public and can be confident in speaking about something they enjoy doing.

I might actively try to do so.
Only when the anime is very iffy and suggestive is when I might be embarressed.

I rewatch Monster in Barnes and Noble every day.

I know its ok because people there are avid readers, and enjoy Starbucks Coffee.

As a fellow Anti-Monsanto Activist myself, I know they get me, and will respect my elite taste in anime.

No, but I don't really watch in it public. The most public watching I've ever did was watching hunter x hunter with my father also being in the living room.

I don't watch anime in public, but if I did, it would depend on what I'm watching. Unless we're talking about watching in front of people in general, but that wouldn't make much of a difference. I'd openly watch stuff like Bartender or Bakuman or something, but watching ecchi or gore openly seems...Well...Why the hell would someone do that?

I watch anime at school sometimes, but I take care not to watch anything with ecchi or anything else that could cause an awkward situation.

I don't worry as much if I'm certain nobody will bother me while I'm watching. I watched the yaoi episode of Shinsekai Yori in maths class with my back to the wall!

Is your lust for anime really so compelling that you can't even stray away from it for 6 hours of the day?

Pick and choose what you're going to be noticed watching. It's like any other form of media. I have no problem with someone seeing me watch Redline. But, I'm not going to let them see me watch Clannad or something like hentai.

I'll allow people to observe me watching a television show like The Office. But I'm not going to allow them to see me watching something like twilight or pornography.

I don't watch neither anime nor movies or TV series in public, because people keep coming at me and asking what am I watching and it's annoying as hell. I'm not embarrassed with what am I watching, I just don't feel like answering the endless questions. Same with books. I can't really concentrate on that, so I usually just end up listening to music.

No. My computer desk is placed in the corridor between the kitchen and the living room... So, everybody always pass behind my back. If I really had to pause everytime somebody pass, it would take me an hour to watch an episode. So, I don't give a damn. My family don't care at all anyway, and afterall I never watch ecchi anime or the like, so I have a clear coscience è.é

I don't give a damn outside of my house either... some time ago I used to watch Hetalia on my cellphone while riding the train to school... I always busted out laughing, and people glared at me xD

Why should I? It's a free country, I can watch whatever I want. I usually read manga/watch anime while I commute to and from school.

You could start by explaining to her the normal parts of the anime instead of the fetishes.. that could help a ton
Or you know.. don't bother explaining it at all.

Holy shit. Other people own a Zune.

I still use my 30GBs, they were my first portable anime devices (no longer though).
