Just tell her you love these boring, bullshit for childrens. If she doesn't love you because you love anime, she doesn't love you.

If she doesn't like you for who you are, it's not worth it. Don't lose who you are for someone else. I don't mean you shouldn't take criticism, but you shouldn't let someone just walk all over your hobbies and the things you like.

My ex was pretty cool with me watching whatever I liked. If i were to ever have a gf that told me to stop doing something that I like I would dump her. So maybe you should think about finding another girl if you really dont want to stop watching.

I tried to show her the best anime I knew... I let her watching Evangelion, Steins;Gate, Mirai Nikki, Fullmetal Alchemist, Death Note... but she dropped every single one of them after 7-8 episodes saying they are boring, bullshit for childrens and that I have to grow up... what can I do?

If you would show me this anime without knowing anything about anime I would want you to stop them watching too.

1. You don´t have to have the same hobby, even my husband don´t shares the same intrest than me, but still watches from time to time a show with me. Last week he even wanted to see Cat Shit One, not what I would normally watch.

2. Be more sensitiv, girls don´t always like what boys like. I hated Evangelion since I do not have a fatherproblem. Steins;Gate was okay, but not special. Mirai Nikki, please, what do you wanted her to be? A Yandere? Death Note I dropped as well and is has to be FMA Brotherhood.
What movie would you, or should you watch with your girlfriend?
A romance maybe? A comedy maybe?
I mean, I showed my husband Highschool of the Death and Girls and Panzer and he loved it.

Go for anime-movies in the first place, it´s much more easier for starters to go with.
Put it simple, https://myanimelist.net/anime/32281/Kimi_no_Na_wa and https://myanimelist.net/anime/28851/Koe_no_Katachi , https://myanimelist.net/anime/199/Sen_to_Chihiro_no_Kamikakushi , https://myanimelist.net/anime/12355/Ookami_Kodomo_no_Ame_to_Yuki , https://myanimelist.net/anime/10408/Hotarubi_no_Mori_e , https://myanimelist.net/anime/572/Kaze_no_Tani_no_Nausica%C3%A4 .

Please stay away form Fate or anything like Fujoshi bait, that will not work, she is not a otaku, she is a normal being. Start with the basic, if she even ever want to watch anime again after her first experience, that is.

3. Take your time and give her time, do what both of you enjoy and save your hobby for later, when you alone. Spend quality time with her and give her space and youself.

How are shows like Death Note,NGE,Mirai Nikki,etc for kids....?What is wrong with her?Anyway,I'd suggest having watch shows such as Nana,Vampire Knight,Fruits Basket,Lovely Complex,etc.Maybe she'd be more interested in shoujo/Josei than what you've shown her so far.

But,you cannot really try to force your hobbies on her.If she still doesn't like it,just watch it in secret or try to talk to her reasonably about your hobbies.She is not worth it if she wants you to stop doing something that you love.I'm sure you could find a much better gf who would accept your hobbies and not judge you.I know there are plenty of girls out there who like anime.It is just selfish of her to try to stop you from watching anime.No partner should ever try to control you like that...

This is a tough one, IDK man
You're asking a highschool kid for advice, who dating experience is practically zero
but in my honest opinion, just say that you won't drop it, she will understand. Just treat it as 2 separate things, and don't let either ones interfere with each other.

If she don't understand even after that, i'd say, idk, break up, seem stupid, but if she can't except you just because of a hobby that isn't even interfere with anything, then she isn't worth it

If only she finish watching mirai nikki then she wouldn't say anime is for children :)...but you pick the wrong titles too, if she is not a fan of anime you should have pick a more lighthearted titles and shorter episode like "your name" maybe? it's a love story that she might enjoy watching together with you.
Things you can do:
-try asking to watch anime again but pick a title according to her personality like is she the sporty type or does she love watching chick flicks?
-ask her to trade something like you will give up watching anime if she give up something that she also really likes doing...you better choose something that you know she can't give up for you to win...ahahaha
anyway, you can try talking to her, being in a relationship means you have to accept each other's preferences, if she's really into you she would understand and accept and it's not like your watching anime is affecting your relationship...it's not like you are watching anime 24 hours a day or when your together or all you talk about is anime...well, unless that is the case :)

_if she breaks up with you, the anime community will keep you company during the lonely nights...ahahah_

Well, the problem might be that you tried to show her something that you enjoyed. If you want to get her into anime, show her something that she might be interested in.
When I got my sister into anime, I firstly showed her a couple of different shows, and asked her to pick some of those. Our tastes are completely different, since I am more into the psychological or shounen series, but she likes more medieval and horror things, but I still got her into anime because I showed her something that she highly enjoyed. I did the same for other friends, and recommended them anime that I thought they will enjoy, even though I didn't enjoyed them.
And she doesn't have the right to tell you to stop watching anime. I don't see this as a reason to break up with someone tbh, but you should firmly explian her that your hobbies are your hobbies and make you the person you are, so she shouldn't force you to stop doing something you like.

Tell her to stop imposing her ideas onto your hobbies. As much as you should listen to each other in a relationship, there needs to be things you do in your own time.

But if you are intent on showing her the good side of your hobbies, don't do what you just did

This isn't about your opinion. Find out about the kinds of shows she likes and recommend some anime that she might like. Though I suspect it might be too late considering you had 5 chances (or more, whatever "..." after all the examples imply).
I'm not a lolicon, you're just projecting your tendency to lewd 2D characters.

If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate.

Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too.

break up with her

but in all honesty I have learned that if someone you love doesn't enjoy what you enjoy you need to stop trying to make them care about it when they won't
Just like what happened with my parents.

Just tell her that it's not childish and if she thinks it is she is obviously just uneducated imo :)

Jdgaf, she hates anime, you don't, agree to disagree....OR.....wait till comicon comes around and then say "right, you think anime is just for kids? Lets go to comic con and we'll check out anime related stuff, guaranted your gonna see people of all ages into anime and video games"

If she still doesnt accept your liking in anime, then screw it, don't push it anymore n leave her to he thoughts n just do you.

Edit: also the anime you showed her are the downright pure anime ones, like you have to be into anime n cartoons to like n appreciate them, Death Note may be a gateway anime but its not fpr anyone. Show her something with out anything psychotic or supernatural, something real to the core like0 Cross Game, make sure its realsitic ones that she can accept coz THEN she can see that anime isnt all that fantasy n sci fi stuff. You need to set the maturity level higher imo coz thats the vibe I'm gettin from youur post.

end of the day tho? if she aint feelin it then dont force it, she doesnt have to like what youlike or you like wht she likes. its best to disagree with some tings.

anyways, the simplest answer is not to get her into anime, but not letting you watch anime? even the girlfriend is stupid, anime has many mature genres, not letting you watch anime just because of that reason is beyond stupid. Maybe you should atleast show examples of gore anime clips and ecchi scenes?

first things first, as your girlfriend she has to accept that you enjoy stuff she doesn't understand
second things second, your choices of anime series were horrible! she's a girl who hates anime so show her a cute and funny shoujo or drama series not an insane psychological anime!

Find a new girlfriend.

Or ask her what kind of shows she likes, before you show her what you like.

There is a huge difference between the two.

Well, if it's my boyfriend's hobby, it's indeed something he likes. I wouldn't tell my boyfriend to stop doing his hobby just because it looks childish.

But really though, those anime you've shown her are all fantasy, of course it's bound to look 'childish'. I would show her something more related to slice of life or drama if I could.

Make an actual choice.
either you obediently stop watching anime (pretend to or whatever) or stop dating her instead.
I'm interested to know what you will choose.

Show her Pingu in the City Legend of the Galactic Heroes and be done with it. If she calls it childish, I would sever all ties with her. They can't think rationally with all that prejudice accumulated over the years of being ignorant.

What does she watch? I would really like to bash on her favourite shows.

Dumping her sounds like a good idea. It's fine if she doesn't like anime, tastes differ and all that jazz, but her apparent inability to respect your interests? You should ask yourself if you really wanna be with a person like that. I doubt such a relationship can work out in the long run.

She watched Evangelion, Steins;Gate, Mirai Nikki, Fullmetal Alchemist, Death Note that has lots of violence, blood, and mindfuckery for children? Seriously? That's just BS.

Tell her that's your hobby and what you enjoy watching. If she insist, she doesn't respect what you like, then, maybe you find someone else. Preferably, with the same hobby, if you can.

Just watch in secret.
Your girlfriend should accept and respect that you like it. She doesn't have to like it but she could at least let you do what makes you happy.
Show her some messed up anime and say "is this for kids?" not recommended
give her some romance anime that kids wouldn't understand. recommended
Ask her for what kind of series she watches or ask what kind of genre she likes and give her anime based on her likes. recommend
If all this doesn't work and she really wants you to give up anime. Make it out I mean if you will be happy not watching anime sure stop watching. But if you like it, you will not have a happy relationship I think.

my bf and I watch anime together and we don't stop until we've had enough. some people like it, some people don't. so be it. :) :)
