Everyone knows. Even people who don't know me knows because my phone case is printed with whatever anime is my current favorite at the moment. Same with the shirt I swear when going out. Lol.

I have plenty of friends who like anime so I talk about it freely with them of course. I don't really hide it though, if I meet new people they know pretty early on that I watch anime but how much I talk about it depends on their interest. If they clearly have no interest in anime of course I'm not going to talk about it much if at all, but otherwise I might mention a show or two as something they could get into

When I'm back in my home city, I'm open and chill about it. But when I'm at university, because it's in an area where not many people are open to other cultures, I guess....I try not to, because it'll be the same old discussion of: You watch cartoons at your age?

If the person I know isn't into anime, I don't open up or talk about it unless I'm asked. Otherwise, I'm open about it, its not like I'm doing something wrong and I could care less about the norm. Imagine a life where we all the same , that would be so boring lol

I use anime for social media profile picture and have some merchandises so I think people I know in real-life know that I watch them. Even though I joined Japanese media club in my school, I won't talk about it if someone doesn't bring it up to the conversation.
It reminds me I used to scream cringe anime line and I thought I'm cool with that lol.

It's no like I'm keeping it a secret. I don't tell people only because they never asked and nobody cares. I don't mind telling people at all that I'm an anime fan.

- 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

I'm selective when I'm talking about anime, I choose to tell to people who also watch or would understand. In other cases when someone finds out I watch anime and tells some lame joke I say something like "Yeah, I enjoy those Japanese cartoons." or "Yeah, yeah, I watch hentai all day long." lol

Now that I'm married I can do whatever I want, so I've added a few anime shirts to the regular rotation

Typically closet, I've always been that way though and growing up if you liked Anime... well..

I'm a 90s kid so that stuff was just starting to gain a small bit of traction in the US but.. most people saw you as weird or a creep if you liked it.
