| It's the first thing I tend to mention lol xD I think it's not a bad thing to like, if people choose to ignore me because of it, then go ahead. you weren't worthy of me anyway. :D So, no I don't. XD |
I live to anime, chocolate and strawberries!!!  |
| I usually have 5 friends who are my besties, i told them i watch anime, and now...we all watch it :D |

| Why would I hide something that's part of me? I'm always honest about these things. If the person I'm talking with however doesn't like anime, I'll simply avoid the subject for their sake. I don't want to annoy anybody to death by talking about something they dislike or just don't care about. |

 |
| Actually in my country (Belarus) and mostly in Russia people call it "chineese porn-cartoons". Even my parents... That's a bit sad :( |
|
| No, I'm open about it if someone asks me about it. |
| Im not necessarily hiding it but im not bragging about it either |
 |
| No. I hide my connection to real life in anime. |
| Yes, IRL no one knows that i watch Anime. I'll take this secret to my grave. ^^ |
 |
| Not really. When asked what I do in my free time, I always mention anime & manga. |
   |
| No, most people here have watched anime so there's no point in being ashamed of it. Polunga said: IRL = Ireland (?) Why should people in Ireland hide their hobby? What´s the difference in Ireland? - Please explain... Rofl |
| No. I mean, I rarely have the opportunity to say it in a conversation, but I was watching Texhnolize in the bus on my way home and no one gave a shit. |
 |
| I don't get it. What's to point in hiding what you like ? Because you won't fit with other's opinion ? I think it's kinda lame and sad. I totally assume it and speak about it freely, if your friends don't like the fact you watch anime, they are not open-minded people and there is no use staying with them |
| I'd never randomly bring it up, but if people ask me if I watch anime I don't hide it. Too often anime fans are way too obnoxious and try to push it in everyone's face. I try to avoid being that person. |

I have a bunch of anime stickers all over my binders and stuff, but I won't start talking to somebody about anime unless they initiate the conversation. Come, come~ SilverMuse. You are welcome in here~ O:) OMG, really??? O.O Yes, please!! lol |
| Too lazy to make a signature. F*** it. |
| Lol, no way. Why would I? Everyone knows I like anime, if someone's going to be my friend, or it's going to hang out with me, it has to be knowing and accepting the fact that I like anime and manga. But it's not like I bring the topic to conversations though. If someone wants to talk about it, great, let's do it. But I won't start a conversation about it on my own. Everyone has different tastes and point of views, so they might find it boring, or uninteresting topic. |

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. Why? You like what you like and that's all. I neither hide it, nor flaunt it around. |

| It's anime... It's not drugs. On a serious note, I don't hide it. There's really nothing to hide. |
| i don't hide it, but i don't go around and tell everyone as well. i have a death note in my room and it's easy too see. so whenever i throw a party or invite new friends over, everyone who likes animes comes to me and says "you have a death note, you're cool as fuck" and those who don't like it, won't recognize, won't even ask. my close friends know, i get less mysterious the more you know me. |
| No, I don't. I don't really care what people around me thing, so I often say something about anime, like someone: hey, what did you do yesterday. me: hey, drunk beer and watch really awesome anime about ......, and you" and so on and on. Because of me freely talking about my interests, I have met people who as well are interested in anime, and that's really awesome, when you can rewatch all Naruto with someone, for example. ^^ |
| The bird of Hermes is my name eating my wings to make me tame. |
| I don't hide it . I just absolutely avoid bringing it up and absolutely keep other people from my laptop and stuff .Not that they ask anyways . It's not hiding if no one's looking right ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |
| Wohooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo |
| Some people know, but mostly I don't talk about my interests. Growing up with my Dad & his friends who hated that I was into "Jap Shit", I learned to keep my mouth shut from a young age. |
| I don't hide it, but I don't advertise it. In real life, I have no interest in pushing my interests on people who otherwise couldn't care less about such things. |
 |
| I don't hide it. I do notice people don't really understand the fascination when I talk about it. |

| No. To hide what you like, is not being truthful to yourself. |

At first I was rather hesitant talking about hobbies (manga, anime, games) when I first entered uni. I didn't know anybody and I thought it would be weird because I talk so much when the topic is about something I really like. But turns out many of them have similar interests, so somehow I made friends better when we know we like manga, anime, games, and so on. So I don't exactly hide it though I also don't randomly blabber about it especially to new people. Unfortunately there are still people who think anime is cartoon and is only for kids. They just don't know what they missed. :P |

| My little pony is best anime/visual novel. I won't hide from that clearly factual statement. They have become animu what are you going to do anime weebs, can you hate on it nowwwww. Now you too can become the ultimate in outcasts by admitting your love for MLP and anime at the same time! |

| To be honest, I don't think it's that big of a problem like it used to be a couple years ago. People are pretty open with the "nerd culture" nowadays, with the introduction of netflix and social media. I feel like no one really judges you nowadays for being into anime, except maybe some very "traditional" adults and "ghetto" people to name a few which i've experienced. This is assuming you're at least a seemingly "regular" person, or at least act like a "regular" person. Don't be socially weird with your interest. Then again, this depends on the type of anime you're interested in. If a guy in college were to have, say a desktop wallpaper of some underage highschool anime girly girl (As the main focus, note how I say this because there are some really nice scenery images with anime characters, but they're not the main focus), or wear some idolmaster T shirts, etc. then non-otaku people who don't relate to the fandom would find that pretty weird either way. As long as it doesn't seem like you prioritize it in your life, make it seem like a side interest, then you're good. |

| I talk about it with people that also like anime, but I don't really mention it much to people that don't. I would imagine thats completely normal, though. |
| I don't really actively hide it but I'm also not that open about it (aka initiating conversations about it or wearing/buying merc). I'm pretty sure if senpai notices me I'd probably continue the discussion. |
 |
| I have yet to trust people close to me (other than my BFF and parents) enough to let them know I watch anime. |
| I don't hide it. However I won't start that topic too. |
 Men are props on the stage of life, and no matter how tender, how exquisite… A lie will remain a lie. |
| I don't really hide it, but I don't tell unless I'm asked. I think no one will ever randomly ask it for me, so maybe it means that I hide it? |
| Won't hide it if someone asks Just won't bring it up in a conversation unless initiated |
| i won't hide it because i know someday i'll fucked up and say i like it, and anyway why would you hide it? |
| Not that I hide it. I just don't bring it up during a conversation. No one asked anyway idk maybe because it doesnt look like I'm an avid fan of anime idk idk idk |
 |
| Nah. If someone brings it up in conversation I'll admit to liking it and watching it blah blah. But if the topic never comes up I don't say anything. No need to advertise one of the top ten things I do while bored. :p |
| No, not at all. If people ask me what my hobbies are then anime would be listed as one of them. I've no reason to hide it; if people want to hold onto their ignorant opinions then they are welcome to do so. I'll very quickly know that they simply aren't worth my time if they give me shit for it. |
 It's an entirely different kind of flying, altogether! It's an entirely different kind of flying. |
| Eh, I have friend that enjoy anime so I would't really hide it in IRL, though of course I hide the fact that I watch and read hentai. |
| None of my friends know about anime anyway. If they do then ill be open about it. |
| (wow it's been forever since i've been on the forums...anywayssss...) no i never hide that i like anime. i've made most of my friends watch anime and they are now into it. :) |
 |
| No. I actually recruit many people to be anime fans as well. LOL XD |
