Yes, a good friend of mine that I met 2-3 years ago
We got along really well because we both really like anime
I also got a couple of my other friends into anime :3

I don't make/maintain friends. Beside, I probably wouldn't like their anime anyway, nor they mine.

there was a guy in my eng class wearing a cowboy bebop shirt. I said I liked the anime but then never talked to him again because he was weird as shit.
I have really funny thoughts that no one will get to hear.

I've made a few from this site, but only from this site. Had the opportunity to make more but cringe turned me away.

Not really. It tends to be primarily kept to myself while I try to have some sort of sociable knowledge of the outside world that adds to the potential of me making friends. But that's only one part, whilst the other aspects I'm struggling to grasp the concept.

As for the friends I already have, they know about my interest in anime. But I don't force it on them.

I did make a few but they were pretty introverted like me so we never talked much, We played Smash Bros a few times though.

Not all of my RL friends watch a lot of anime but all of them have at some time or another watched something. That's not really the reason why we became friends but it has made the friendships more enjoyable

Well, if we're counting the internet ones then obviously i have.. But if we're talking about IRL i guess no.. Most of my IRL friends who watch anime are either have watched it even before i'm become an anime fan or i have befriended with them first, before knowing that they also like to watch some anime..

Yes I did, but only online... we've been online friends for 6 years although we rarely talk about anime anymore but other things as well.

My few real life friends don't give much of a f**k about anime, no matter how much I tried to get them into it, so I gave up years ago.

As to find new friends because of anime, worst yet, never ever a single one.

Anime lovers in my country are generally too young, and my friends are all adults about my own age.

I had a childhood friend who introduced me to some of the more popular anime that was around during the early 2000's, but over time, we drifted apart. Anime did bring myself together with certain people, but now I look back at those moments, and say to myself, a lot of good it did now.

Never really made a real in real life because of anime. I'd say 60% of my college classmates watch anime (they know I do too) and haven't made friends with any of them. Despite one time we had a small conversation about FMA. Though i've made plenty of friends online thanks to anime.

Years ago yes, but we don't talk anymore.

Not counting MAL friends, of course.

Yeah. My brother and I were out with his friend, who happens to be Japanese. I mentioned the original titles of a few shows from the 70s, 80s, and 90s, and she thought I was the coolest. "How do you know these shows?! You're awesome!" Now, we regularly trade recommendations, and I teach her about American anime fandom.

I also made another friend because I saw that he was wearing a Goku hoodie, and we hit it off.

Most of my online friends are people I met through anime fan pages, as well.

Not really. I've only ever found out that my friends were into anime long after we became close.

Yes, I think only once during high school, but our friendship wouldn't last long, lol. Mainly because we'd lose touch because none of us would speak to each other because when I tried to talk to them, they would either not be as enthusiastic as me when speaking about a new series, or they would be busy playing video games. And the other reason would be because they turn weird and only like ecchi anime, rip.

As to your second question, I managed to turn one friend into liking anime, which is amazing because we suddenly have a lot more in common now!

For me it's been more that anime has introduced me to a whole new community where I can feel accepted. Without anime I wouldn't have started going to conventions or cosplaying, which are two things which I absolutely adore. It hasn't singlehandedly made me any friends, but at least it hasn't made me lose any ;P
