I don't hide it. I bring it up, but I don't advertise it with merchandise. And it's only one of my silly timesinks, I can move on to an other topic if others are not interested. As long as you are cool about it, no one cares.

I'll mention it if someone asks me, but that's about it.
Please learn about cel animation and its technical process.
Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers.

I even wear T-Shirts with anime logos. In general I do not talk about anime with strangers unless they would start with it. It is the same with chemistry. If there are hints that the person also like the subject I will talk about it. Otherwise I will keep talking about general things.

I wasn't open at all about my Vietnamese cartoon hobby, but then I met this guy at school who didn't really give one shit what anyone thought. So yeah hanging out with him made me not give a shit anymore about what everyone thinks.

Only if someone asked I'd tell them. People automatically assume I do anyways though since I draw mango grills.

I barely mention it because most people would think I'm pathetic. It's really morose that many people aren't open-minded towards anime. 99% is full of stereotypes I'm really glad I don't look THAT weird in real life so they can't tell immediately hehe

Sometimes, I think "what the fuck am I watching??" and sometimes, I just drop the anime because I only think that when an anime is exaggerrated or stuff

I'm 100% open about it. It's to the extent that my some of my relatives have been questioning me about the anime-related facebook posts that I like. Ah I don't care though..I just laugh and shrug it off

I'm open about it. I think everyone in class knows that I'm into Japanese culture and anime and no one gives a fuck nor I do. I even talked a few times about anime/manga with classmates that know nothing about it.

Bullying and shit? Lol, I'm more on the side that bully than is bullied.

I'm not open about it at all. Not even anybody from my family knows that I watch anime.
I once told my closest friends about it, since then they mock me about it and lots of other people now know.

If someone is not open about it, is it because they think that others think that anime are a kids show?
Anime is the prime example of why 2 nukes weren't enough.

It comes up in conversation sometimes and first I judge the atmosphere before mentioning anime. Honestly, I've gotten a lot of surprising responses, like from adults who have kids that watch anime or have personal experience regarding Japan. Pretty cool stuff.

If you are referring to anime, it is Japanese, not Chinese.

If you are referring to Chinese cartoons such as the 1999 cartoon adaption of Journey to The West, well, nobody even watches those anyways.

If people ask me I don't have a problem saying it, and some of my friends are watching anime too or they find them interesting so there might be some rare discussions about them.
But generally I don't create anime related conversations, since I don't like talking about things I like when other people may not be just as interested in them.

Generally open.
I call it Japanese Animation because it sounds more serious than cartoon and less weeaboo than Anime.

Don't really care to be honest, I mention it if someone asks. I don't own any merchandise related to the industry and I don't own any manga or physical anime copy... So yeah, I pretty much watch anime whenever I feel like it and it usually isn't part of my conversation material unless I know the other person at least knows what anime is.
