Usually, I chat with old school friends in a group chat about specific anime we've recently watched. We have similar tastes and sometimes the conversation can last for hours.

I'm having difficult time finding people, even among anime fans, who have similar specific anime interests and want to discuss them at length.

So... I usually don't discuss anime with anyone.

I guess a mix. I only talk to MAL friends about anime if we're both watching it/have seen it and it's the same with IRL friends most of the time. Sadly IRL friends and I usually have pretty separate tastes.

I discuss it on discord. MAL tends to be full of egotistical, retard edge lords with shit taste. Their common habits are saying that every new show that's very popular is shit and also trying their hardest to up their list.

With one irl friend from my Japanese classes and friends and strangers here on MAL. But my friend irl doesn't even watch seasonals and is a major normie who keeps discussing DBS with others in class.

So it's mostly with you people here on MAL.

I know a sizable number of anime fans irl, some of whom I was lucky enough to have met in high school. That being said, back then they were few and far between and this is what caused me to join this site in the first place.

My younger brother also watches it occasionally and I enjoy chatting with him about it.

I currently don't have friends irl that like anime that much, all they talk about is going to the gym. I also don't discuss anime with anyone here because no one is capable enough to understand the greatness that is Rabu Raibu. I talk about anime in PSN though, depending on the person and the game.

I regularly talk about anime with my best IRL friend. Dragon Ball Super is quite the hot topic with us ever since it began airing, but we talk about lots of other series as well.
I have a MAL friend I like to talk about anime with. He's a huge Fairy Tail fan, like me, so that's awesome. He's also seen much more anime than I have, so I often take recommendations from him.
My lil bro isn't that much into anime, but he watches something once in a while, and then we talk about it, lol.

Not my family.

I CAN discuss/express my opinion on anime with anyone. I rarely start the conversation though.

Generally, no one.

Voted "A Combination of the above" though. If someone brings it up I'll talk about it with whomever generally.

Online friends, IRL Friends, My sister, etc. I just genuinely don't really talk about my hobbies/interests unless it comes into conversation.

Sadly,none of my friends or siblings or close ones don't even know what anime is. They are not interested in any kind of animation either and say that animation (or anime whatever) are only for kids. Some even made(still make) fun of me. So... there's none really with whom I may discuss these animes. I've joined MAL recently. Hope it will be fine here.

Me and a friend are both intellectual snobs who use big words. If I need someone to tear open an anime with all its symbolic glory and to hear queer perspectives, I go there.

I also got another group for more breezy discussions. I need more friends to watch anime with though.

The guy at the cash register at McDonald's

Sometimes he gets frustrated because he says I've already gotten my order and that other people need to place their orders so I need to move out of the way but that sort of thoughtfulness is why I like him tbh

I thought you guys are totally unable to make funny or interesting comments instead of always repeating the same stuff about imoutos/pantsu/boobs/fapping but happily you proved me wrong.

OT: You my friends, discord and earlier reddit. No one I know irl watches enough or good enough anime to be worthy of discussion :D

Even though I have been watching anime for almost 4 years, I only recently have I even begun to talk about anime with my brothers (probably around 3-4 months ago) and with friends at school who also watch anime (around 5 months ago). The reason I have not really talked about it until recently is because I felt I would be labeled a weeb and stuff throughout my school or made fun of in my family, but honestly at this point in life I have realized that I really dont care anymore, so now I talk with my friends and family about anime and watch it with them all the time.
