| Well, my parents just say "It's a hobby of yours. Others have nothing to do with what you like or not." Heck, they even watch anime with me from time to time (meaning, if I happen to be watching anime on the living room, they might just sit there as well and often take some interest in the storyline). |
| Error While Loading Sig. Oh look, you're so gangsta, you scared the sig away... |
| lol anime is very popular in korea so my parents don't care, they just see it as regular cartoons even now that we live in the US now =) |
 |
| Neither one of my parents care much about it, except that my Mom has grown some kind of dislike for japanese people. Something about their strange technology... Hm, anways, My sister used to make fun of me. Every time she walked into the room and I was watching anime she would imitate them by saying "Ching Chang Chong". After a few years of explaining she doesn't care about it much either anymore. |
| Mum/Dad; What have you done today? Me: Watching anime Mum/Dad; What kind? Me: *Explains no matter what it is* Mum/Dad; Ok |
| My parents don't care if i watch anime. |
| I'm happy my parents don't care about me watching anime, although they associate it with American children cartoons. |
 |
| my mom always gets this look on her face like she's thinking, "My son has no life." My dad, however straight up ball busts me |
| The many things me and my friend say when watching animes: 1. "WHY IS THAT PENGUIN JUST STANDING THERE?!" Me and my friend watching Gintama 2. "This anime is just one nipple away from being softcore porn..." My friend watching High School of the Dead 3. "God this Endless Eight arc is like Vietnamese torture!" Me watching Haruhi Suzimiya |

| they never actully said anything about it to me. Ive watched anime for years but i don't think my mum and step father actully noticed it. they know i think (I THINK) that i went to japanese evening classes while at college so i think they know i watch japanese cartoons, i think i mentioned it before, like just watching my japanese cartoons but they never say anything. to be honest, my dad died like 2 years ago but he was like me but ii never lived with him and we did not start hanging out till i was 15. but he had similar intreasts like games and stuff and we were more like freinds instead of father and son, cause he would go on about making love to women and how to do it etc and also we played xbox 360 all the time when i did go see him and not to mention he lived with a uncle and a freind so like being 45 and living with your pals is kinda fucked up. but when i was with him, it was like speaking in the mirror so i think if he knew about anime he would have watched it with me or at least show an intreast in it. |
| i created a club that is building up a emotional "feels" anime collections so if anyone wants to join it and get emotional together please come and join us <3 http://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=18987 Click for link^ |
| My dad knows about it, but he's never made fun of me for watching it. He's indifferent about it most of the time, though he occasionally enjoys hearing about whatever I'm watching. |
| My parents don't know about it, and I'd like to keep it that way. Whenever they ask me what I'm watching I just say cartoons and then they leave me alone. 0_o |
| My mother said to me that she was considering a marriage proposal for me. She explained that if i get married then i will stop watching this childish stuff apparently my elder sister agrees with her view. (00) |

(00) Make her watch the first season of Higurashi no naku koro ni or some Elfen lied and see if she calls them childish |
| Yup. My dad calls it childish and not manly. Like I care what he says haha. |
 |
| My Mom "Makes fun" of anything Japanese that I watch/listen to. Doesn't even pertain to Anime. Something about "How can you understand it"? Even though I told her there are English Subs. Ugh. O_< As for Dad, he doesn't really care. :P Once he saw Dragon Ball Z on the TV, asked "What's that"? and walked out. |
Fan of Dragonball Z and various other Anime since '98! ^^ |
| My mum's indifferent towards anime. As long as I don't foster an obsession over them, she's fine with it. My dad, on the other hand, actually enjoyed everything animated almost as much as I do... |
 |
| Not at all. I actually got my parents to watch Death Note from start to end....my dad was quite into it haha xD |
| yea lol my dad always asks why im watching "cartoons" then i have to explain it to him... |
 |
young98 said: they both think it's weird, since my dad saw some of Fullmetal Alchemist, which he thought was weird because it was too bloody for a cartoon, and my mom doesn't really like how some anime movies break away from the "disneyland/hollywood" endings where no matter what happens, everything will turn out all right |
| My parents didn't make fun of it, but there is sometimes where there is a scene where they show those semi-nude part, and I always explain to them about the anime. Somehow they understand it. Whereas my friend, always make fun of me and say I am a hentai because they love to disturb me. :( I don't watch hentai! :( |
| The only time really is when I was on a GINORMOUS evangelion high. We had just gotten back from best buy and I had my brand new copy of End of Evangelion in hand. My mom was exhausted and layed on the couch while I eagerly started up the movie. Man that opening scene was one of the most awkward moments that literally gets worse and worse to "those not in the know". From that point forward, she always popped in now and again to make sure I wasn't watching "cartoon porn"... |
MexiChrist said: From that point forward, she always popped in now and again to make sure I wasn't watching "cartoon porn"... Haha, then you should explain to her! :) |
| Oh I did. It took many years but now I can say I successfully got her to watch Death Note, Grave of the Fireflies, Toradora and actually enjoy them. Go mom! |
| Mom was like: Cool! Dad:  |
| my parents dont care but my friends parent thinks we are going to grow out of it lol |
| well, seeing as I am a teenager still living in my parents house, playing video games etc (I work on the family farm) I don't want to seem like anymore of a complete nerd. I normally watch anime on my 360 and if someone comes in I pause and bring up the blade menu to bloack the screen. My dad wouldn't care, but my mum is a little less....tolerant. Luckily I am training my little brother to like anime/manga and he gets whatever the hell he wants and my mum dosen't question it so longa as he shuts the hell up. Also I prefer to watch in dub, not only due to personal preference but because it would seem quite 'geekish' in my household to have japanese voices coming from my room, wheres as eng dub I can blame on my brothers cartoons on sky. Yeah, I'm so insecure and my mum scares me:) |
| Heads I win. Tails you lose. |
| Well, since I watch anime on my T.V., I get questioned a lot. My mom said one time "How do you understand what they're saying?" Me: *Points to subs* *facepalm* And when relatives come over when I'm watching anime, they assume I'm watching kiddy cartoons. |
 |
| LOL My ´parents are so accostumated, they hardly talk about it. The only thing they say is "Don't you get tired of watching so many?". Not really related but my family loves many japanese songs that I keep listening at home XD |
| I am 24 years old my mom said that by time I am going to forget them and i find these cartoons boring ( whe i have child etc) of course she asked before don't you fell shame to watching these things while you are an adult but i started to learn japanese and get more exited about japanese stuff as well when she ask i say in a really seroius way that i like them i wanna go to japan and so on my child gonna wathc these stuff as well none of my friend likes anime stuff they can't understand i don't wanna push them to watch it if they don't want then ok it1 s a bit bad that i can't talk about anime stuff with them but until tzhe yaccept me in this way is ok |
| when i lived w/ them i'd watch it in the living room, and when i got older and i started watching more 'quality' stuff. (and i would explain in a LOT of detail why it's good, like the animation quality, the osts, voicing, production studios, directing, story etc ) and i guess my enthusiasm got to them and soon enough they would watch some of the shows i suggest to them. (force onto them) and well.. they could always tell western cartoons were lower quality (no offence) they would never understand how i could watch simpsons. |
| Eh, they know I watch it but don't say much about it. I don't usually say much about it myself. Sometimes I'll say "Oh there was this this and that in this anime I watched." I'm not really good at explaining any plot lines too so I don't even bother. =/ |
| Depending on the anime, I watch it with my mum... yeah I'm nerdy XD |
| I keep it to myself. Don't think I've ever watched anime when around other people. |
| My mom doesn't think of it any differently than american shows. |
| My mom isnt interested in it but she supports my habit =D its easier to talk to her about it and she takes me to the book store to buy manga and she got me manga and Soul Eater part 4 for Christmas!!! my dad doesnt really get it but he's ok with me likeing it and stuff ^^ |
 |
| Although they still call it cartoons, my parents never made fun of me watching anime. In fact, my mom was really supportive on my addiction XD back in 2002 when I graduated from elementary she gave me a set of Hunter X Hunter vcds as a present :D And we watched DBZ and Shin Chan together (when it was aired here in my country). |
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.".... Same goes with my mom..!!!!! She keeps on saying "Chinese" instead of japanese.....n all d time i have 2 correct her....... But my dad hasn't got any problem with my anime watching n stuffs...... |
 |
| I normally watch home alone. They don't really give a fuck so yeah.. They do say I stay up too late reading my comics sometimes.. And one time my mum caught me reading Koibana Onsen and asked "isn't that too sexy?" Meh. |
| My Dad actually introduced me to DBZ, which I didn't pick up because it was so inconsistent in its episodes airing on tv that I got irritated. There weren't online streaming at that time yet. It was all dialed-up internet connection, which sucks. Anyway, he watches some episodes with me sometimes. He's totally fine with it, and my Mom don't bother as long as I do what I'm supposed to, which is school and work. |
| I use my computer to watch everything, soooooo they don't tend to notice much, but when they do it's usually my dad to have the first joke. |
