| they make fun of everything i watch lol but at the same time I do make fun of the animes my parent said they use to watch :) |
[right] |
| Surprisingly no, perhaps because I don't occupy the TV or spend hours on my PC like I did in my gaming days. They do like to pester me about the TV shows I watch though. |
| My parents don't ask or make fun of the anime i watch, my mom would sometimes glimpse at what i'm watching but that's it. |
| My mom use to say things like "I wonder what Walt Disney would think of animation like this...there's basically no movement!" "Why are you watching those cartoons", but then she watched Monster and even though she was having trouble remembering who the characters were (I had to keep explaining them) she absolutely loved it. She also liked 5cm per second, which I thought was weird. She doesn't mind watching them as long as they aren't "magic". Sometimes she hates bad dialogue I was watching Kimi ni Todoke and she walks in and watched a little and the line was something like "If this keeps up soon enough he's going to lose his popularity" she was just like "oh how trite who says that?" and walks out I thought that was funny, but it's true sometimes the dialogue is a little poor but I still enjoy it. |

And my mom on the other hand calls all anime in general "Gichi-gumi shows." -_- *sigh* Haha, that's why I don't even bother telling them titles of anything. If they ask what I'm watching it's always "anime" and nothing else. |
| Nah, they just think of it as normal cartoon. When they complain, its not about anime directly, but wasting time watching videos when I could be studying =O |
 |
| My mom doesn't mind me watching anime, she even gets curious about some things. She doesn't know what anime I watch, but she randomly asks mes things like "Who is Naruto?" or "What is a Death Note?" or "Do you know Bleach?", it's probably because of her game mates on an MMO she plays. She also likes the art style. As for my dad, he has no clue that I like anime. |

| My mom watch's a little anime. |
| It was not written in the stars that we be together. |
| [color=#FFCCCC[Haaaah , so often that it doesn't even matter anymore ~ I got accustomed to stupid comments >.< ~[/color] |
| I watched episode 1 of Gurren Lagann while my mom was in the room. She finally turned around at the point when Kamina started self narrating. All she said was "Really?" |
| My dad knows that I watch it. He seems mildly interested at times... like I showed him Death Note once, and even put it on the external hard drive I got him for Christmas two years ago. My mom would never understand. She's a pastor, and the fact that I watch Higurashi is quite enough to give her pause. She had enough trouble accepting that I played World of Warcraft. So no, not really. They both know that I'm a huge geek though, and that it doesn't socially impair me and that I actually have learned to take pride in it instead of always keeping it in the closet. |

oneandonliee said: My mom always asks why I'm watching "those Chinese cartoons." No matter how many times I tell her it's Japanese, she insists on saying "Chinese." I watch anime with headphones on, but when I watch Ninja Warrior on G4, my mom always makes fun of the commentator trying to immitate him. It's pretty annoying, it's like she doesn't respect the language. it must be very painful :( |
 |
| my parents know it, but dont really say anyting about it like "its bad" or "its cool", xD. |

| My father ask me "Anybody in your class still watch anime?" He think anime is ONLY for kids... When I hear it, I can't stop laugh... |

| Well I always knew my parents thought it was really weird as I used to (still think a lot of it is lol), but then the other day my mom was reading her email and was like "ha ha your school has an anime club, want to join? haha" not even knowing I secrectly watch it.... |
| Don't have parents anymore. But my father had an open mind about everything, he was great like that.. /downer |

| My parents just know I like to watch, "Japanese films". I've told them about series like Ghost in the Shell and they've even seen me watching stuff like Baccano and Death Note when I watch them on the big TV in the living room, but I don't think they care. Although, my dad always says I'm weird for watching stuff with subtitles, be it anime or a live action movie. |

Smart. You never know when someone is going to "accidentally" whip their boobs out in anime. |

| My parents know that I watch anime and they don't really care as long as my grades aren't bad and I make my homework. But sometimes they make fun out of me saying that animes are cartoons meant to be watched by children, I just can't convince them that animes are not meant for children because of the violence & blood etc. But oh well.. As long as they let me keep my hobby I don't care wether they like anime or not. |
| They don't care much (my father even watched Death Note), they just tell me I'm crazy when I laugh out loud watching some animes xD |
    |
| Nope. Except when I mention an anime convention that I'm going to, my dad thinks it's a waste of time. For me, it's to get out of the house and meet new people in person with the same interest as me. |
| Yep, whenever my dad walks into the room and sees me watching anime he always says, "Stop watching Yu-Gi-Oh!" and leaves i think that thats the only thing he can relate it to. Even when im reading manga he says "Stop reading Yu-Gi-Oh" Now my whole entire family including uncles, aunts, and all call it Yu-Gi-Oh :P |
 |
| My dad some times comes in and either makes funny noises (I guess he trying to speak Japanese) or he asks a bunch of random questions. like, Why is that guys hair purple? Are those two people going on a date? why does that girl look so young when she is suppose to be in HS? Why do Japanese people always do X? My mom just says do whatever you like to do. She even asked me about a few figurines I have. |
| My Mom loves anime me and her are currently watching Clannad right now. She also likes Katekyo Hitman Reborn and she was sad when the anime ended so we are both eagerly awaiting its return from Hiatus if it is on one that is. I'm being careful on what series I show her though cause she'll get all pissy if it has too much nudity in it or way too much swearing even though she swears like a sailor everyday. My Dad watched Zeta Gundam with me and enjoyed it and he sat down and watched a couple of Gintama episodes with me. He has no problem with anime I think he is just indifferent about it. |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| Not really I scared them using hentai long ago:P |
| Most people in general shun anime because a large part of it is awful shit smothered in fanservice. I was one of them until I realized there are several genres of animoo. My family learned to accept it once I showed them more serious works like geass and angel beats, but my friends aren't so open minded and are like "that shits gey" without attempting to watch it. So is life :P |
 |
| Yes. its so sad. They just don't understand :( my friend do too. |
| My parents dont know because i only watch at night and on my laptop or dvd in my laptop. If they ever found out im sure they would make fun of me or think im weird. I dont understand its the same as reading books or along those lines IMO |
| My mom asked me once about Ah! My Goddess since she got hooked with it as well. xD She doesn't make fun of it, but criticizes it! Probably because of me slacking off after every anime I finished. xD But she laughs at the jokes. LMAO |
| they always do it.. so before they come into my room, i quickly pause it and do something else until they are gone |
| My dad comes in and he says 'what're you watching?' most of the time. My mum doesn't care about what I watch so long as it isn't 18+ stuff.... Once my dad liked the anime much better than I did...And then he started watching it without me. I was SO PISSED OFF. And all the other people I know have parents who don't care. ....Maybe where I live is strange? |

| My mom accepts it, although I usually pause whatever I'm watching when she comes to my room. But I actually got her to watch some anime I have on DVD, e.g. FMA, Code Geass and most Ghibli films. She also read Death Note and enjoyed it alot. However it's still not something I brag about with most of my relatives. |
| I see I'm not alone then, my mother doesn't really watch or read, but she developed a good sense of my fav genres so everytime I get something I'd like to watch when its gift time lol |
