| My parents basically leave me alone, although that's not much of an issue (I'm 23 and independent). Occasionally when my dad's around, he might sing bars of opening music out of tune to mock me, but I think he understands that it's something I enjoy. _ETERNAL said: Thankfully, my parents actually watch anime from time to time so they're okay with it. you have great parents!

| My mom loves Death Note :] She's watching anime sometimes, and thinks that anime are very similar to real-action movies, but a lot better (she hates Hollywood) I'm grateful for her ^^" |
| The only time I've watched anime on TV was when I was doing a marathon, plowing through my Gundam and Gundam ZZ boxsets. This was actually around the time I had surgery done, so I couldn't do anything else but watch TV, really. My dad just imitated sounds - most particularly the little jingle signaling a commercial break. Since it was a DVD, it'd do the jingle, cut out the commercial, and do the jingle again immediately. He also said "This is obnoxious." |

| My mom: Ooooh, Cowboy Bebop! Mind if I watch it with you? My dad: Cowboy... Bebop...? How the hell can you stand to watch this shit? |
| My fathers favorite anime related activity includes calling them cartoons when I can hear him. Otherwise he's not at all interested. Mother.... well she's on the other side of the planet but probably wonders if I have the devil in me for it. Glad she cares but... heh. |
| Kind regards Sidoen  |
| My Mom doesn't even try to understand anime, she just says that I'm wasting my time watching it. |

| Dad was like"Aren't you too old to watch animations",and I was like"Don't hate cuz you ain't me"#swag#yolo |
| So Far,so Good...So What! |
| Only time I recall my watching anime to some extent with a parent is one I was watching Letter Bee on T.V. My mom actually thought it was really nice, and I'd agree that it's a nice show and thats why I had it playing on T.V considering I also have a very little sister and wouldn't want to have some ridiculous violent shit on there. |

| Seeing how most of you are teens and live with your parents I feel for ya! I was very rebellious as a teen not slap my mother type although there were days I almost wanted to. But i pretty much watched whatever I wanted they talked shit, but I just made fun of them and all their hobbies pretty childish now that I think about it, but oh well YOLO! |

| My mom doesn't care what I watched. I watch ecchi as well and she was like.. that very nice. My mom basically just let me watch whatever I want. My dad hate me watching it, because its japanese. But he just ignore me and don't question me because I get mad easily. When he do question me. I explain why this is good so so. He got tired and already stopped question. Now I just watch whatever I want. My brother also like anime too. I got him into anime as well. So its all good. |
| My dad watches some anime with me, (only attack on titans atm) it all started with SAO. My mum catches a glimpse (like 3 seconds) while I'm watching anime on the TV in the living room. Once, she asked why was everybody naked during an episode of attack on titans, other than that, usually no comments unless there's blood on the screen. I watch animes with potential awkward/ecchi scenes such as watamote, Monogatari and World only god knows in my room. Wouldn't want my parents commenting on those lol |

| My mom once told me "how can you watch this crap?" I told her... "You watch Big Brother. Your argument is invalid." |
| Well for starters my dad doesn't even like cartoons so getting him to like anime would be a struggle. Far as my mom, I will never watch anything anime-related around her due to the fact of her calling "Japanese things" "Chinese" Things. Until she understands what I watch comes from Japan, I will never EVER show her my anime side so when they walk in i either bring up a new page on hide my mediaplayer |

This sounds like a great Idea. Only problem i see in this is that the fact my mother would never watch anything Demonic related. soon as she here's the word demon, she'll drop the show in a second. I don't have a problem with this but its a biggie for my mom. I've only seen the first 5mins of death note so it would be wonderful if i could get her to watch it |

| When my father caught me watching anime, he just sat down, watched it with me. He never asked any questions. |
 |
| Neither of my parents watch anime with me. They sometimes make some comments, but for they are unable to speak English they give me a puzzled look when something happens and ask me for translation. Atleast they are understanding enough. Also they get me manga once in a while so it is worth giving a synopsis for a few volumes, right? |

| Mom: Why are you always watching those slideshow screaming shows? Dad: Why are you always watching anime? |

| not the norm... tx to my fabulous self, BOTH my parents watch anime all the time. my Dad loooves ecchi and fan service heavy shit, and is always trying to recruit me to watch his shows (sorry dad) i watch a lot with my mom, we're real tight, i'm lucky to have a great family. She has shows she is passionate about, but i suspect she likes Kdrama better ^^ What a weird and wonderful set of parents. |
| They just think im watching cartoons, no point in trying to explain that Anime is different. |
| If strength is justice, then is powerlessness a crime? |
| My dad tries to watch it with me sometimes and he gets confused easily. He really likes when I watch the Dragon Ball series though. My mom usually comes in and ignores it as it plays, but I pause it if it's an emotional scene. Both of my parents already acknowledge it as one of my hobbies so they don't mind really. |

Velcor said: Too bad she considers it a total waste of productive time. -_- I hate this argument so much, if my parents ever said this I would probably punch them. I watch anime like I would watch any other TV show; as entertainment, and I don't see how when instead of watching normal programming and watching anime it's being wasteful... Then they better not watch TV at all if they think that way. All that aside my parents don't care my mom and stepdad as far as I can tell aren't interested (Although I know a show or two they would probably enjoy) and my biological father actually showed me Howl's Moving Castle which was something that got me interested in anime in the first place. I do know however that they know not all anime is porn/only for kids because my stepdad walked in on me watching Strike Witches and called it anime porn, not just porn. It was meant as a joke and I actually thought it was hilarious because a bunch of friends heard it through my mic. I was only 15 at the time too. There was also this one time at dinner where my stepdad was telling us about how his one friend from work liked anime and went to a con somewhere. Then asked if we knew what furries were because apparently they were all over that shit. Then he proceeded to say something about how a few stereotypes can ruin something for a lot of people. In other words "I understand you like it (Anime not furry) for whatever reason, and won't judge you on misconceptions or stereotypes." And this was only like a month ago. So yeah my parents are pretty bad ass. Besides, they probably think nudity in anime is the same as NA movies and what not and they've never hidden "Uncensored" movies from me. So if anything they literally haven't given a shit pretty much my whole life. I'm 18 now so if they do have a problem with it too bad, they'll have to kick me out of the house cause I'm not gonna stop any time soon. *nth Edit My mom just came in saw my new Nedoroids and called them cute. not weird or the typical "Y dafuq u wast mony on dis shiz?" I fucking love my parents. |

| They always walk in at the wrong time. :/ I don't think they like it, but they don't oppose me watching it. |
| That pretty much sums up my mom in a nutshell. It especially annoyed me when my parents used to walk up and watch with me for 5-10 minutes, cause I knew they didn't give a damn what it was about and were just looking for excuses to strike up rather stupidly pointless conversations such as "Why does that girl have pink hair???" or "Why are those people killing each other????" Like if they were genuinely interested in it I wouldn't have been bothered but I knew it was all in vain if I tried to explain anything. Luckily that was years ago, they don't know I watch anime anymore and I intend to keep it that way. Especially because now I watch things with ecchi or sexual innuendo and my mom is a huge prude, she flips a table if she sees women in bikinis on TV, it's embarrassing beyond belief. |

| Mine tells me I will never get married if I keep watching cartoons at my age. Moms are funny like that. |

| Not quite anime but any time I'm playing a JRPG and my mom walks in she goes all like "PLAYING THOSE STOOPID ANIMAY GAYMEZ AGIN I SEE." She's pretty condescending anytime she sees anything anime related on my computer. She really hates anime for some reason. I find it pretty funny actually. |
 |
| I always minimize or at least pause anime when they go to my room. They're not very close to it, I think they just don't like it, so I don't want to do it. And I'm really not 'brave' to do it =( |

The same with me, but in my case, they don't say it world for world, but I see they really don't like that, my mum especially. They don't mind my wallpapers at desktop, but they think anime and manga are stupidity. |

| well my dad is watching One Piece, Naruto S, Hunter x Hunter weekly and finished lots of animes too so I dont avoid |
| My dad came in when I was watching the first episode of Eden of the East once. He shouted through to my mum that I was watching a "naked guy on the TV". But he was joking around. My parents know I watch tentacle porn late at night in my room. |
