| Family wonders why I watched subbed anime when it is just my personal preference to do so. Most of my friends don't even know what anime really is or why it is important to pop culture around the world! |
| Is a common thing. Family and friends watch anime. |
| My Dumb Youtube channel that honest to heart I'm not plugging on my signature to try to get views because I'm desperate. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6D4SN3Dl1b1T5CjdvQgFKA |
| My boyfriend plays Ark for upwards of 8+ hours a day (it would be more but work and child) yet someone has the audacity to talk shit to me sometimes over watching anime. Words like "waste of time" and "not that important" For sure dawg, you tame those very important dinosaurs~ |
 |
| Mother and Father don't mind at all, never really cared or noticed what I watch :P I pulled both my sisters in, so they both watch anime xD (Of course, I've moved out, and both of them are married, but I still supply them with anime regularly). Regarding my friends... Most of them didn't watch anime until they met me, and now they are avid watchers ^^ Some weekends we literally just binge watch anime! I have a habit of introducing people to really good anime, and before they know it, they are addicted as well! Muhahaha! |
 |
| Well my dad said he doesn't care if I watch chinese cartoons or not. |
| . |
| My friends don't mind, my family doesn't mind but random people at school assume it's strange Asian porn or children's show. |
 |
| A few of my friends totally get it since they watch anime too, but some of my friends think it's weird! My family don't really know how much anime I watch but my brother has watched a few he likes with me (Erased and Assassination Classroom are some examples). |
| Parents know that I watch cartoons with blood abs unrealistic hot bishies. They don't care negatively about it and think of it as a hobby. |
 |
| My dad thinks that I was a japanese woman in my past life XDDD My mom just comes into my room and says "Are you watchhing your enimay again?" She cant pronounce it for shit, how many times I may tell her how its said x) Other than that they dont really mind so All of my friends watch anime except one, but she doesnt mind me watching it. Some people at school just think otakus are weird but meh, who cared about them right x) |

| My husband is as big a nerd as me and usually watches all the same stuff so he doesn't care one bit... almost all of my friends are, or were at some point, fans of anime as well. My dad doesn't care and even encouraged it because he liked that it was getting me into art and drawing, my mom was kind of the same, but a little less understanding. She liked my drawings, she just hated that I watched so much of it. Also, she kind of rolls her eyes now that I'm older and still watch it, she thinks I should have moved on by now lol. |
| I don't know. Who cares what do your relatives think if there's no conflict? |
| Before, they mock me and say that it's childish, then I retort back saying aren't adults drawing anime? But now they don't say anything because I draw awesome animu, but they still think it's childish lol and my friends think it's weird, but fcktehm. :D It's so hard to find animu-liking friends in my place *sigh* |

| My brother basically brought me into anime, also got some friends who watch some mainstream shows like One Piece and Dragonball Super. Sometimes one of them watches something else like SnK with me. Everyone else (even at work) knows that I watch anime and are not opposed to it. After all it's just hobby. |
-Senpai- said: No one cares.................... This basically sums it up. Unless you get to the point of obsession, no one will have a go at you for it, if someone wants to talk about it well then you have something to talk about. |
SomeEdgeLord said: I WILL report you from this forum if this continues. In real life, I am one of the coldest, unsympathetic, people you'll ever know, who's grown up in an even colder household, you really don't want me to break my persona, I know how to make people feel bad.

| my mom thinks it's stupid but doesn't care if i watch it or not. my dad thought it was some middle school phase. while i was in middle school. idk what he thinks now. he probably doesn't think about it at all. |
deadoptimist said: Though I think shit-flinging should also have standards - no personal, no behind the scenes. |
| my mom doesn't really mind, but whenever my dad sees me watching he's like "watching kid shows again?when are you gonna grow up?" and I get so pissed off by that, its just irritating that he doesn't understand shit about anime |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| They don't give a single heck!!!!!! |
 |
| If I didn't watch anime, they'd all think something was wrong with me. To them, it's perfectly normal for me. Helps that half of them watch anime as well. |

JTricks said: I'm actually pretty much a closet otaku. My parents know I watch anime, but they don't know how much. They think it's kinda kiddy, but I made my mom watch Death Note and hopefully I can convince her to watch other anime As for my friends, I have friends that know I watch anime because they too watch anime. And friends who don't watch anime and don't know I'm an otaku. It's a fun balance :P I showed my mom Garden of words and she really liked it. I'm gonna try out the upcoming "Your name" from the same director and maybe KyoAni's "A silent voice" if it turns out good. I think middle aged women tend to appreciate that sort of melodramatic stuff, maybe I'll show her Your lie April but I suspect the humor in that is a bit juvenile for her taste. |

| My sister used to tease me why I don't watch "real" people, my mom has the ability to walk in when there is something really awkward going on and I don't really want to explain it to her either lol. As far as my friends are concerned, some of them watch anime, so I we can share our thoughts about it, also planning to visit more anime con, so I can make more friends who understand my point of view. |
| Males of the Family (brother and father, but not my brother in law) Shun Me. Dad thinks i shouldn't be watching cartoons, and my brother tries to force me into watching something "my age". Like how he tries to make me like watching sports, like american football. Females of my family (Sister and Mother) either support it or don't concern themselves about it. Hell my sister was interested in it a few times. and my mother used my knowledge of it when she runs into a question about animation in general. |
| Argue? Nah Too lazy For That... Are You Ready!~Gulcasa |
| I think its hard for most non anime folk to think much of anything because they don't understand it. Then again, sometimes I'm not sure even most people who watch anime know what they are participating in... |
| My family and friends are pretty much indifferent to it. I'm open about my love for anime and manga and I couldn't care less what they think either way. |
 |
| some of my friends/ family think it's lame, some watch it themselves, but most of them don't care about it. |
| Friends: either call me a weeb or watches anime anyways Family: 'anime was a mistake' |
| They don't care so much about it, especially because I'm a good student and don't have the tendency to watch anime a lot, though my mum always tries to encourage me to watch other things that aren't anime, so I guess she's not really that okay about it.... Then I start watching Game of Thrones and she pulls a face as well. I think my mum will just complain about anything I do. |
| They don't have any idea. And i'm very happy because of that :D |
