| Any parents or future parents on MAL? Do you think it's a good idea to let your children watch anime? Personally, I will do all in my power to not have my heir(ess) pick up this hobby: I want them to have a bright future and anime is known to ruin lives. How many of us have won an award? How many of us have had sex? Zero. Zero of us, and anime is likely the reason. |
| Anybody who says folks on mal have no friends in real life or are all virgins are pretty much forcing their life and vision of everybody being like them onto the entire community. Oh, and yes. |

 |
| No, because it's not physically possible for something that won't ever exist to watch anime |

Oh, and yes. ^This. Non Otaku people have no problem living regular lives and having regular relationships. (Including a martial one.) I'm gonna raise my kids on a healthy diet of 80s children anime. |

| Just because you're a mouth breathing weeb virgin, doesn't mean the rest of us are. |
 |
| Yes, but they can have only 1 waifu.. |

Austn said: How many of us have had sex? Zero. Zero of us, and anime is likely the reason. I have. And I'm not going to force anime on my potential future children, but if if they want to, that's great. |
| The football field isn't the only place where you could use a good line. |
| There's nothing wrong with anime. Children's shows are universal so it ultimately doesn't matter where they're from. If they decide to pick up the hobby of watching late night anime that's all up to them. If they take it too far then I'll just have a talk with them. |
  |
| I honestly don't even care enough to have children I don't think Id stop them even if I did.. |
| Supposing I have children, sure I wouldn't forbid them from it. I wouldn't want them to make it anywhere near the obsession I've turned it into nor would I try to push it on them. But I think I'd show them friendly anime when they're children and then if they're interested in it as they grow up I'll happily provide. Anime has changed my life for the better, surely it's safe in the right hands. |

| I watched with my daughter yesterday and we both loved it. Oni chich- wait. |
| I would most definitely show him the way of the weeb! All the good anime to watch and the manga to read. |
| They said "There is no santa clause" I simply asked them "If santa clause isn't real then are you?" After that the voices in my head stopped speaking to me |

| Not only will I let them watch it, I'd introduce it to them. |
 |
| It's his/her choice And anyway I won't be able to control it, my wife would... |
| Of course. Can't wait to watch anime with my future daughter/son. GREAT2070. 6/19/2016 - 12:25 AM |

| Depends on anime, but generally yes. Wouldnt want to show stuff like Higurashi when too young :o |
| Yeah, of course! All of the greats. Pokemon, Digimon, Kiss x Sis, Ghibli movies...only the most wholesome at first. I'll leave them to branch out on their own. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| Me and my wife love anime, each other, time together, and our kids. We've known each other ever since we were kids and we loved anime ever since "Inuyasha" aired. We'd love for our kids to be in the Golden Age of TV and Anime but no hardcore weeaboo stuff like flying to Japan to buy from a panties vending machine. P.S. Anime nowadays is kinda going downhill. Used to have 5+ good animes/season, now there's 0-2 good animes/season. Mangas are still amazing. #SayYesToNoblesse and animate good Manhwas, Manhuas, and Mangas (first hashtag ever used in my life). |
| why do you say "allow" as if "will you allow you child to drink alcohol" ? lol |

| Not planning on kids but hypothetically speaking, I'd allow it. I wouldn't go out the way to introduce it but if they pick it up, that's fine. Depending on age though I might monitor them to a extent to keep them away from Ecchi/More Mature Anime. Mature anime I'll let slide if there mature enough though, but no ecchi, need to at least hit puberty first... I guess lol. |

| Definitely conditioning my kids to like Pokemon. |
  |
| Why not? It's just that if they do they MUST watch Inferno Cop. |
 |
| Why does half of MAl think you have to be abnormal, is sick, antisocial or whatever to be here.... -_- Ot. I'll let my kids watch anime. |
-Senpai- said: Yes, but they can have only 1 waifu.. Can always count on senpai for best responses. |
 |
| Allow my children ? I'll watch it with them |
| I'm pretty sure we can all be considered as future parents; some sooner than others. Yes, I will allow my children to watch anime, that is, if they want too. However, if I see that their grades are below average, then some countermeasures are going to be taken. I mean, I didn't start watching anime until last year, which was my junior year (as in the year before graduating high school) and my marks didn't drop at all from before and after I started watching. As long as they know their priorities, then I don't see why not. |
 ♔ caught in the wonder ♔ |
| Not really because most anime that's out there sends the wrong message to kids |

| just watched psychic school wars with my 7 year old. she's liked ghost stories, kamisama hajimemashita, all studio ghibli films ect. Basically, if they're interested why wouldn't you let them watch ? |
 |
| If i will become a future parent i would be blessed if my children will grow up watching anime and not these Disney $U*!"&$ going on^^ |

| I refuse to have children but assuming such a horrible thing happens, why not? A lot of anime are excellent stories about growing up. I wish I would've seen Dennou Coil when I was tiny. |

| Well, i don't mind as long as they don't get obsessed with it.. I do want to introduce my children to some family oriented anime such as Doraemon, Pokemon, etc though.. |
Reality is the lifeblood that makes a work pulse with energy. Reality itself is entertainment  |
| Sure. How else are they gonna learn about the power of friendship? |
 |
| If my kid can't handle Fate/Zero at age 5, it's time to throw him into a volcano and try again. And eventually learn martial arts so that, when he comes back for his revenge, I'll be able to kick ass and eat axes. |
 This glorious signature image was created by @Mayumi! I am the Arbiter of Absolute Truth, and here is my wisdom: "Anime was always influenced by the West. This is not news. Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people. Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation. There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime. You should be watching Carole & Tuesday." |
Austn said: I want them to have a bright future and anime is known to ruin lives. How many of us have won an award? How many of us have had sex? Zero. Zero of us, and anime is likely the reason. Honestly I hope you know how lame™ that sounds. Its def not because of anime that you haven't had sex or won a award, like. at all. About the question, I don't really plan on having kids but hypothetically speaking, I wouldn't really care. If they like anime or if they don't, its up to them. Either ways... its not that deep, guys |
| Depends on anime, i'm not having any ecchi or hentai float on the boat o.o but yeah, i'd let them...a reasonable amount - not so much that they can get addicted but so they can atleast have a social life =.= |
| I'd introduce him to it. If he likes it then great, it could even help in nurturing growth. But at the same time, getting him addicted to it would be bad, he could potentially ruin his life. It has been a decent source of entertainment, and I still manage my daily life. Not that I have anyone to talk to, anyway. I personally think parents should be more cool-headed and think from the perspective of their kids. |
 |
| Yes, i would force them by making they watch every classic anime non-stop, they would sleep in body-pillows and their toys would be anime figurines. |
 |
| No, animu is mitsake and should be avoid like aids. |
