When I retell jokes I say "one of those Japanese animated films", I get a free pass on it, so, I guess, it's fine in my family's eyes. Though, of course, sometimes I get some "you'd better got a life" comments, if I overdo talking about it. In general, my hobbies are left for me to decide.

...though I am an adult already, and my family consists solely of my father.

Mom thinks it's perverted.

Dad thinks it's cool. Doesn't watch it though.

Pretty sure my mom still doesn't understand what it is. Back when I first starting watching it, she just called it "that cartoon show you watch." I'm pretty sure she still thinks it's all one show or something...or she just doesn't care.

My mom is supportive of it. She even watched it with me on toonami when I was a kid ( show's like naruto, DBZ, bleach and IGPX)

She even watched attack on titan and liked it.

My mum thinks I'm crazy and weird for being addicted to anime and fantasizing over 2D characters. Also, when I cry during the sad scenes or laugh during the funny, she thinks i'm insane. Don't mind the overstatement, but that's how she always reacts.

Kids, childish and "cartoon", saying that while laughing.
And whether i laugh at comedy scene, they will rush over, and say something like "oh, you watch cartoon, never mind", also my phone's wallpaper is haikyuu!!, their respond to see that, "you still watch cartoon eh?"

Whatever, it's pointless to argue with them over something like this

My dad's fairly indifferent about it. I think it confuses him a little, as he assumed that most animes target children, but he doesn't really question me about it.

My mom on the other hand is fairly supportive of it. I've watched Death Note, FMA: Brotherhood, Fate/Zero and a few others with her. Recently we watched One Punch Man together and she found it hilarious, so yeah, that's good I guess.

They are generally disinterested in anime though unless it's a movie and dubbed. I don't try to watch any series with them anymore because they have really short attention spans.

my mom used to think it was silly, but after seeing HXH'11, she now at least respects it to some degree. she even is interesting in looking at zankyou no terror. she still has her biases, though.

my dad thinks it's silly and will always find it silly.

My parents don't really care if I watch anime.

My mom was worried once because she saw a documentary about Hentai on TV, but once I explained that I don't touch that genre and only watch the normal ones, she never questioned me about it ever again.

Both like it after I introduced them to it. My mum has watched Death Note, Akatsuki no Yona and Vampire Knight with me. She seems to like shoujo.

My dad has really gotten into it. I rewatched Death Note with him so he could see it, I showed him Clannad/Afterstory, Kanon, Steins;Gate and Code Geass.
My dad is pretty chilled so he didn't care about the ecchi in CG.
At the moment we're watching Sound of the Sky.

I'm also planning on showing my mum Ghost Hunt since she seemed interested in ti when I mentioned it.

She cares a little but it's only apparent when she's really mad at me.
She's also watched a few anime, like 90% of Yu-Gi-Oh's final season...I don't have the remaining 10% on DVD, though.

My dad doesn't really care, my mom thinks I'm addicted to it. I have my own life outside of anime and other interests, and I can go days without talking about it or watching it. So I don't see why she dislikes it so much.

Most of the time I start new cool anime, I tell to my mom about it. She's pretty cool about that.
Also, Every time I buy new anime/ manga/ game, I show it to my mom. She already learened some of this staff names.
She knows what is Dragon Ball, Slam Dunk, Jojo, Pokemon. Tales Of, Detective Conan, Captain Harlock (she really liked the song of it) and some others she knows by pictute but not by name. Like when I buy new volumes of manga I have already other volumes it, she knows most of the time the series by picture.

My dad don't really care, but also support it.

My mother was a fan of Doraemon and me and dad used to watch Naruto and Pokemon together. That's the only anime I can get with my family. Though, my aunt told my mother that there's something called ecchi and since that day, I watch anime secretly. Not that I watch ecchi anyway.

They think anime is like the cartoons they saw : doesnt make any sense at all and each episode is a different adventure ( no sequels) , their mind about it wont change because it is part of their culture .

I watch dragon ball super with my dad every week end and we've already watch a few shonen together with my mom aswel like naruto and one piece. We've also watched samurai champloo, full metal alchemist, shingeki no kyojin,... when they were aired on tv.

My sisters and my brother also like anime so we're pretty much an anime family x)

I don't intend to let them know!
This one time mom saw an episode of one piece on my laptop and judged me that I'm wasting my time and all, while she agrees that "cartoons" at her time (Katrie Girl of the Meadows, My Daddy Long Legs, The Adventures of Hutch the Honeybee, Little Women,...) were far more informative and worthed watching.
I explained that her loved "cartoons" were actually japanese ancient, boring asf anime and anime today is more stylish, psychological, and meaningful. As usuall I was wrong and sent back to my room to study and learn to do integral.
As for my Dad, well...one time he asked me to play some of these cartoons for guests' little kids. I gave up on him a long time ago.

My Mum just stares at me and says what are you listening too. Since I don't watch in dubbed anymore. Then most of the time has to make a racist interpretation of the language. But she couldn't care less about Anime. My Dad doesn't pay any attention to it either .
