Both kinda. I don't care about watching anime in front of my family or my friend, but I would never watch it around anyone else.
woah there

Secretly, because I hate watching anything in front of anyone. It's just awkward.

Openly. Just the adults' mind is different from us. I usually watch the anime openly. Last time, my mother and I went to watch the anime movie "Your name"together, she said the animation effect is excellent。
If your mother have a concer about you, you can use your headphone.The best of both worlds, right?

openly, don't really care what people think. although I wouldn't say I watch anime anymore, I just watch sequels of the anime that I like.

It's not like I try to keep the fact that I watch anime a secret, I just don't talk about it too much other than with my close friends.

Though I would say most people know so I'm not sure if I watch open or secret :p

Privately and on my own. I neither make a big Secret out of it, nor do I talk about it if the other Person doesn't mention it.

For Example, I used to watch Anime on my Laptop in the Train and I didn't care whether or not someone else could see what I would watch. But it's not like I would want others to watch as well and frankly spoken, it's an Activity that I prefer to do on my own, since I tend to sometimes pause the Video and replay Scenes to read everything.

Well, its not really populair here. So we are weebs real fast.
Now I don't care bout everybody sayin I'm a weeb, but I still rather have them not.

I don't lie bout the fact that I do not watch it, when ever they ask, I answer.
I just don't bring it up, myself, unself asked to.

I'm not open about it not because I think anime is embarrassing but just because I generally don't say what I'm doing in my free time.

I don't really fall into either. My fam knows I watch anime and they are mostly indifferent. I don't openly reveal that I watch anime in my free time but if I find out an acquaintance watches anime casually (approx 4-5 titles) then I'm happy to talk about it passionately and make recommendations.

But I guess I lean towards being secretive about it. I wouldn't feel comfortable watching it in a public space or if I lived with a roommate.

Most people I met irl who are open about it come off as completely obnoxious and insufferable, I don't want to be around them so I just keep it to myself, my other few friends keep it to themselves too, thankfully.

Openly duh! All of my good friends that i've known forever and my brother watch it actively. Even my own mother used to watch it a lot back when she lived in Japan. I don't think any of my co-workers know that I watch anime and I don't really feel like telling them since none of them watch it anyway. I don't usually hang out with them other than maybe going to bars/restaurants after work.

When I was younger I would watch anime for the most part in secret, with low volume. But over time, I've heard one shunning remark toward anime to the next shunning remark toward anime, and now, I know longer care what others opinions are about it. In my room alone, I have a tall bookshelf cram packed with anime and manga material, sure, my parents hate every corner of it. But this is what I've become, and it's too late going back now. That is all. *Wipes a single tear from eye*

Well, I don't like to draw any unnecessary attention to myself, especially since all the normies around me have no idea what anime is, so I watch anime kind of secretly. But they do know that I watch these "Japanese cartoons". It's just that, let's face it, most anime aren't the kind of things you can watch openly in public and not get misunderstood for a weirdo, or worse, a pervert or a pedo. Explaining to them each time would be too much of pain in the ass, so I just watch all the "weird" ones by myself in my room.

And yeah, I just don't like watching anything with others around in the first place. It's too distracting and breaks my immersion. So there's that too.

Hey man what your mum does my parents do that too. They always think im watching kinky shyt and that im an even worse degenerate than i currently am. But to ans your question i watch it on my own whenever im at home, alone. When my brother is around i seldom watch anime even tho he reads kinky mangas at times, but thats different lol. We seldom share about anime and mangas probably cause of that reason...
I once waited for my fam to be asleep and marathoned Re Zero the whole night. My worse mistake to this day considering the fact i didnt really like re zero cause of various reasons lol.

^This shall be my signature frm now on ahahaha^

Depends on the situation, like if it's my family, ya know parents and siblings I openly watch it, just cautious of the uh ya know, weird scenes they could walk in on.

Anyone else who aren't these people, I don't really speak openly about anime with them or watch it in their presence.Just no anime whenever they are around!

Secretly lol , none of my friends or family watch anime at all , and I think it would be weird to suddenly announce it like it's a big thing , because it's honestly not. That being said , it means it's kind of lonely since you have noone to talk about it with.

I'm not one to hide anything, especially not that I'm watching anime (I'm really curious why people hide that?). Usually one of my first questions to someone I recently met is: "do you watch anime" and if the answer is yes then I'm usually super happy ... so no chance to hide it.
don't do drugs, do anime instead

I'm really open about my anime watching, most of my friends watch or have watched anime, so I don't reaaly have a problem with that, and my mom doesn't really cares, only when I'm watching some wierd ecchi anime then I just pause and minimize the tab when my mom gets into the room

People around me know that I'm into anime. But when I'm watching it I prefer not doing it in the open to keep myself safe from accidental moments. I kind of want to be able to watch it with friends (irl or internet), though...
