If yes, what do they think about that ?
If no, are you scary by their reaction if they dicover it ?

Yes they know. When I was younger, my Mother was against that I frequently watched Anime. But after sometime, especially due to Anime I've got a decent job, they're not against it anymore but whenever I buy anime stuff they tend to be really noisy and pretty much like any other non-otaku Moms or Dad, they'd say "it's waste of money" etc etc hahaha

Yes, my mom bought me manga a couple of times when I was a kid and she's heard me and my sister talking about it. She thinks it's weird, but she doesn't really care that I like it.

Probably 0%, because I can't imagine any parent allowing them to continue after finding out.

They know, they don't care. Moreover I live alone now, so they don't bother me, I don't bother them. Great.

At my age, I'm thankful my parents are still alive.
Yes, my parents know I'm into anime.
Their viewpoint is: "There's a lot worse hobbies you could be into, so if you enjoy it, good for you."
You're never too old to watch anime.
If I ever stop watching anime, check my pulse I'm likely dead.

I wake up with coffee & anime, I go to sleep with coffee & anime.

Sorry if my sarcasm is bad, it's not my first language.

I've always been spending a lot of money on manga and anime-related stuff like posters or mugs with my favorite characters or accessories like keychains and necklaces, and recently I've also started buying DVDs, so yeah my parents noticed that my money just disappears lol. When I was a teenager a had my whole room covered with anime and jrock posters to the point you could barely see the walls, so the rest of my family was also aware because it took just one glimpse into my room to know. I took most of them off now cause I'm too old for this, but still the first thing you see when you walk into my room is a SnK poster and a shelf full of manga. I don't know what the rest of the family thinks, but my parents never really cared especially that I've always been a fan of cartoons so it doesn't make a difference for them whether I watch American or Japanese ones. But they sometimes complain that I spend too much money on useless stuff and waste too much time watching 'kids cartoons'.

Oh yes. My family (at least the ones in this household) know I watch anime/read manga. I even showed a few of them my wall scrolls and explained some anime to them. It's because of me that my dad got into Steins;Gate, Sword Art Online and Toradora.

You just need to look at my room to know. It screams weeb. Body pillows everywhere, walls (and ceiling) full of anime and japanese stage play actor posters, shelves of manga, itabags and other weeb trash lying around the room. So yes they know. They've contributed to a lot of the trash in my room after all and they don't care at all. There are worse things I could be doing after all.

Mom's always around when i'm watching Anime and so is the rest of my family and friends when they happen (rarely) to come over.

All she says is it looks too cute for her to pay attention, and most my friends don't like it (they're more about netflix s**t, movies and stuff).

Parents? Yes my mom and dad knows about it.
Family? Just most of my cousins knows that I watch anime, at least from my mom's side. With only one person not knowing it. Aside from my cousins, and few aunts, nobody else knows that I watch anime.

I'm 18 and I watch anime and my brother who is 25 watches cartoon network, our parents do know about this and they do tell us how it's childish to watch "cartoon" at our age, but that's the only thing they do about it, they didn't tell us to stop it or open a debate with us over it or anything like that, they never bother us about it to be honest, prabobly cause they think "meh, it's their lives, they are free to do it"

At first I was hiding it from them, like, I never even mentioned it, but then I was cought watching OHSHC. They weren't really mad, more like disappointed.
They asked me why was I watcing it and I was like: "It's funny". Their sense of humor is shit either way so I wasn't surprised they didn't find it funny.
They're kinda against me watching anime, 'cause they associate it with porn but I watch it anyway.
Anime makes me happy and often makes me laugh and I love almoust anything that makes me laugh.

Yes.

My dad used to watch dragon ball Z and saint seiya with me, he introduced anime to me actually.

My mom simply thinks everything as naruto until, one day I forgot to close out the pages I was on and she found the hentai doujin I was reading. She laughed at me. "I found the cartoon you were looking at, the one with big titties." I played it off like I didn't know what she was talking about. The end.

I picked Japanese Lit as my major against my parents permission.

They know I bought anime merchs, I wear casual anime clothing.

The only thing they don't know about is that I'm a fujoshi.
