| Since I'm still rather young, my parents are really strict about what I watch with them, and if it's not PG they have to approve of it. However, I went to watch My Neighbor Totoro when it was showing in my local Cinemark with my mom, my siblings, and my friends and my mom seemed to like it a lot. However, before that, I watched Mononoke Hime with them, and they weren't huge fans. My parents let me buy Toradora! on the family room TV a few weeks back. My dad didn't really like it (probably because "the eyes were too big") and my mom didn't really pay attention. If you are at the age where your parents don't really care what you watch, here are a few things you can watch: Baccano! Fullmetal Alchemist Cowboy Bebop Any Ghibli Film Something mainstream (except Fairy Tail) Death Note (if your parents don't mind the whole anti hero concept) Code Geass Just nothing with ecchi scenes, k? <3 |

| well there was 1 time when my mother and sister was watching AoT with me. and we started atepisode 1 where Eren's mother got rekt. lol |
| I'm always in the living room watching anime and sometime they would be there with me. They're constantly complaining that I need to grow up and stop watching cartoons. Or that I should "at least put a show in Mandarin on" for them. |
Can I touch you? Please I love you. Let me touch you, I love you! Friend: How's school? Me: School gave me debt and my plant mold.  |
| My dad wouldn't watch death note with me, but when he saw the live action trailor, he said he would watch that when it comes out. Just because it's animated he thinks it's a cartoon. :0 |
| My mum will occasionally watch an anime movie with me. I tried getting her to watch steins;gate once, i told her about it while i was rewatching it. then she came over to check it out. And she managed to look at the one scene where Kurisu and Mayuri are having a bath. One 5 second clip out of 24 episodes. Now she refuses to watch it because she thinks its about anime girls doing sexy things :| |
| I can watch Anime in my room but I prefer watching it on the big TV in my house's living room. Mom sometimes tries to sit down and watch with me too, I don't mind anyway :D. Somehow, the "Anime time" gives us a quite relaxing atmosphere where we can start talking and sharing a bit since I'm not a talkative person at home. Normally it started by explaining what anime is that or why they react too dramatically like that...Lately, Mom does enjoy Toriko (I feel really surprised about this, maybe cus it's about cooking). |
   |
| When I was like 6-7 my dad always watched pokémon with me, if that counts. He didn't like it tho. My mum tried to watch Death Note with me and my sister. "This is what you're doing with your free time ? That's messed up." That was her reaction. And then we never attempted or talked about it ever again lol. |
| Watched Saint Seiya with my parents when I was a kid since it's their favorite anime from where they were younger. Now Im 20, at college, and my mother keeps saying "you're still watching that shit for kids?" everytime she comes into my room and Im watching anime xD |
| Hunter x Hunter best anime and Killua Zoldyck best boy <3 Addicted to cute shotas and teens with special powers in fantasy manga and manhua |
| I wish I could watch with my parents, but my folks see anime as cartoons for kids or whatever |
| My mother has made it clear that she is not interested in watching anime. I get the feeling she just regards it as a "kids" genre. But at the same time, she gives warnings about not watching "older shows". She also says she trusts me to make the right choice regarding what to watch. I love my mother. |
| "I'll take the guards." |
| Well *deep sigh* my mom is more into Korean drama, like she's obsessed with it. In other hand she thinks anime is a cartoon which is only for children. So i have my older sis in my hand ;p she enjoys to watching anime a lot even though not a fan like me anyway. is that counts OP? |

| My mom watched the Secret World of Arrietty because it was based off of The Borrowers, and my dad seemed to like the first episode of Psycho-Pass, but for the most part they don't really care much about anime either way. On the other hand, I've gotten my little brother into a lot of shows (Soul Eater, Noragami, and Parasyte are his favorites). The first anime he watched was actually Wolf Children, and I think the fact that it was able to make him cry so hard at the end was what made him start respecting anime in the first place. |
| My parents would have a hard time reading subs and an even harder time paying attention to dubs because English isn't their first language, so I most likely will never watch anime with them. |
| I learned from snooping on my mom's computer she watches hentai ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Or at least she did 7 years ago. Neither of my parents watch anime, or have interest in it. I watch alone in my bedroom with headphones on. Occasionally my younger brother will ask me what I am watching. My uncle loves anime, so I occasionally watch with him. Sadly couldn't get him into Violence Jack...which he walked in on the rape scene cause he forgot something for his college classes. So I mean he probs thinks it's a hentai. |
 |
| I occasionally give my mom anime recommendations and let her borrow my blu rays/DVDs. So far, she's seen Kino's Journey, Ghost in the Shell (the original movie), Paprika, and is currently watching Lupin III: The Woman called Fujiko Mine. |
| Nah my mom doesn't like anything animated for the most part. She's also someone who stops paying attention to everything and has to have half the show explained to her, and I just get too annoyed doing that. |
  |
| I made my mom watch fairy tail with me awhile ago when I was obsessed with the series, she got really into it too and loved gray. Other than that no, but I watch anime a lot in the past and now with my brother but I don't watch anime with my parents. |
| Well I haven't watched anime with my parents, but I'm definitely turning my son into an anime elitist and have him here in MAL. No, I never have. My mother probably wouldn't bring herself to watch animation. I guess my father could like something like Monster, but it is too long for him to watch. |

| Watching Anime with Parents ? Yeah that will never happen for me |

| i don't understand why most of you made your parents watch kids shonen anime like I don't think that is the best way to introduce them in the anime world anyway with my mom yes with my dad no he make to many stupid jokes |

| I wouldn't watch it with them, because I usually like watching things alone, but it would be cool if they tried to get into it. |
Big breast are full of dreams, but small breast are full of hope. |
| My parents could care less. My favorite anime is definitely up their alley (ie nature) but that alone dictates they'd have little to no interest in watching anime nevermind my number one is subbed & slow paced. I might be able to get them to watch Princess Mononoke & other Ghibli films, possibly even Moribito but that'd be the extent of it. |
 |
| My family, both my parents actually watch anime and other cartoons with me because we're a small family, sharing cherish moments together since I was a little girl. I usually watched anime on TV when we have dinner because back to those past years, I didn't have the Internet connection to stream or watch online :(. My mother was even into the anime that she kept asking me about the details and we discussed together - those were old good memories. We often followed the series of Sakura, One Piece, Sailor Moon. Now we still keeping that good manner of watching Conan and Doraemon. Feel like we are all kids again :) |
|
| My parents do not watch anime with me. It was a sorprise my mom acepted to go with me to the cinema to watch Koe to katachi. |
| ★I watched Pokémon on TV with my mum when I was little. My dad isn't interested in anything except news and sports -_- ★My brother loves anime so much as me, but the last time I watched anime with him was when I was little and we watched Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokémon. ★My eldest cousin loves anime too. I'd watch anime with my parents if it's like Ghibli Studio movies or similar to them, if not then I wouldn't because I'd be too embarrassed :''D |

RealmOMFG said: Oh hell yea. I watch anime with my family all the time. Most of my immediate family actually enjoys anime to some extent. My dad and sister especially. My dad even named me after a character from Final Fantasy. Last night we finished watching Another together, and he wants to watch the Fate series with me sometime. We're also planning on watching Watamote soon. (Though I've already seen that one.) I consider myself lucky to have nerdy parents. We can do fun dad/daughter stuff. Like go to conventions in cosplay together. Or this one time, he bought an explicit yuri manga for me because he could tell I was kinda awkward about buying that sorta thing. So he did it for me. I'm so blessed. You're so lucky!! I wish my parents were like that. I want to get my dad into Fullmetal Alchemist, though. |
|
| My dad was the one who got me into anime so ya,... |
 |
| My brother (who is 26) still enjoys anime, although most of them are mainstream. I'd imagine if I could find one with no fanservice, it'd be easier to watch an anime with him. I've also recommended him a couple of anime for when he has time off. |

| I played the Noragami Aragoto op in the car, my dad loved it and said he wants to watch it with me. He enjoyed the first season so much that he watched the second season by himself and he's waiting for the third. |
| I watched a couple of films with my family: Kotonoha no Niwa and Sakasama no Patema. I think they liked it |
 |
| My mom is a big fan of Studio Ghibli films.. When I started watching anime, I always watch these films together with my mom. She also watch CG both seasons as well. |
   |
| I'm going to see Kiki's Delivery Service with my mom on Sunday. Should be a good time. Haven't seen it myself, but Ghibli movies are always pretty safe. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| My father watches anime, he likes the Studio Ghibli stuff and we are watching Yamato 2199 together. Saw Kimi no Na wa with me. My mom will watch if it is in English. They know and see me watch it and they don't mind. |
| I think I'm gonna go watch some Highschool DxD with my mom |
 "Only one with the courage to shoulder the burden of their own fate can be called a hero.." |
| My mom watched a bunch of Studio Ghibli with me with English Dubs, I think she liked Princess Mononoke the most. She doesn't like listening to subbed anime though, as I found when I first started watching the anime on Netflix in the living room. Unfortunately, she was there while this scene from SAO was playing out... she doesn't think very highly of anime anymore.  |
  |
| My parents watched Death Note and the first 300+ episodes of Detective Conan with me and my sister :3 What I like about those times is that my mom would definitely cook/bake something so that we have something to eat while watching :D |

| I don't even live with my parents anymore and even if I did, I have no reason to watch anime with them lol. But my mom once watched Death Note because I told her she probably would enjoy it aaand she really did, but I haven't recommended her much else because she doesn't have a good attention span. |
| I've watched anime with my 2 little brothers and a little sister for years... And we do it almost daily, tough the time got shorter as we got older and more busy. Back in the days my father used to watch Naruto with me on Jetix... he liked it, and like Rock Lee a lot. Mother saw some episodes of different anime, in the past when I watched Animax, bt she never got into or understood them... |
 |
| My parents are slightly otaku themselves. As Oremonogatari was airing I watched it with them on the chromecast, similarly to the OP, along with Silver Spoon and Shirokuma cafe (and bizarrely the obscure Ojisan to Marshmallow as well... yeah, don't ask). I've also watched some anime films with them too, most notably Ghibli films when I was younger. I think I watched the first episodes of Attack on Titan and Death Note with them too but I don't think either of them interested them. I guess I'm rather a minority. |
| If I have children then i'll do this with them. Im pretty sure parallel world nymi already has a family at this point. |
