I bet your whole class watches some of the sickest porn out there.

I do! ...and I don't. It depends, actually.
My friends can still realize that by seeing myself drawing anime characters most of the time though.

In my country they believe that only the children have to watch anime
only few people believe that anime for all ages
In the beginning they laugh on me and tell me "your mind is childish"
then I recommend him to watch death note and then there attitude change and now they love watching anime .

I didn't realize watching anime had so many unwanted implications. I mean I guess I get how a person might be judged for openly loving moe or hentai, but even the harmless fun shounen stuff? So no cool kid in the western world would admit to watching Naruto? I'm genuinely curious, enlighten me plz thanks

Most of my friends know I watch anime. Although I've heard the typical things non-anime fans say like 'ohh anime is for kids', they don't seem to care about it haha. Some actually got into anime coz of me xD

I had a similar problem, I'm one of these people who knows lots of people but for how many I could truly call friends.... Meh. I told my real/ closest friends and except for the odd comment nothing is made of it. You like what you like and they aren't friends if they give you grief over it. One thing I would recommend though is don't talk about it constantly, else it may get annoying for them haha

I don't think Anime sunk deep enough in Western culture. At least here, say you're still enjoying Western cartoons and people will understand. Say you like Anime and you will get weird looks - especially if you show it's stuff like Naruto or Bleach, instead of Pokemon and Digimon.

Probably because it's associated with 'nerd culture'. I got similar reactions when people heard I'm a gamer, or saw all those books I bring to work.

No. People in my country think that anime is for kids, and they make fun of people who watch it. There are only 2 otakus in my whole school , 2 of them are girls , and me, but I'm not so obsessed with it, I just watch it on my free time for fun. The whole school is bullying them because they find them really weird , because they dress like an anime characters and they are talking like them. I talk to 1 of the girls , but I prefer people not to know about it, specially my friends.. so , no , I don't tell anyone about it.

I don't really get why people hide anime as their hobby, I mean, you're hiding the things you like, which is pretty much lying in a way.

I've only told directly that I watch anime to the people who I know that also watch anime, but some others might also know because I put anime images in my notebooks for this school year. There's no need to hide it and I might also get someone to start watching!

I am quite open about it. In my opinion, people who can't tolerate your hobby are not the people you should acquaint with. If they think you are some crazy pervert you should ask if they at least watched any good titles such as Miyazaki movies/Cowboy Bebop/FMA:B and many more.

Only if they want to hear it. I don't necessarily "hide" it from my peers, but I don't go off flaunting that I'm an anime fan and express my opinions about anime if they don't want to hear it.

Yep My friends and almost whole of my school knows that I watch anime but I only tell that when asked. I really hate people who repeatedly say "I watch anime!!" again and again for no apparent reason but in the end they watch like 2 mainstream anime. :)

I have one friend that's probably even more into anime than I am, and we can talk forever about it--even the weird anime. The rest of my friends really don't have any experience with anime, so I don't go into much detail about it. They're all kind of nerdy, though, so it really doesn't matter if they know I watch anime.
