No they don't have to.

My best friends watch also some anime, sure it's great, but I measure our friendship by what we went through and what we did for each other.

It's not a necessity, but it helps if they at least don't mind that I watch anime. Now if they don't like music, video games, AND anime, it's probably going to be somewhat difficult for us to have common ground.

I don't mind if people don't watch anime, but they have to be able to tolerate my fangirling from time to time and I will tolerate theirs (whatever it is they like). However, we need to have at least something in common like games, movies, music - anything. Otherwise it can be difficult to get close I think

Before you had even watch your first ever anime you had a friend already.

Don't use anime as something to define someone if they qualify to be your friend, or else you'll look like an arsehole

No your friends don't have to be into anime. My friend who said he hated anime, I caught him watching Girls und Panzer. He said it was because he was a history nerd and wanted to see what it was about. My best friend I've been slowly converting them into watching anime. But enough about that, no they don't have to watch anime

Some of my friends in real life only want friends who watch anime because they feel more comfortable talking to them ,and I was wondering ,if there were other people like that...

Well actually it depends on the person, if theyre kind of an introvert type then i guess its better for them to befriend peoples who have the same interest as them.

Well on the other hand if theyre kind of the flexible extrovert type then they're free to choose who they want to befriend or not, i mean the have the right to choose mate.

No. What is wrong with you even hypotethically assuming something as crazy like that? (? /s
My two best friends watch anime but when we became friends i didnt knew that.
They played videogames and thats why we got in touch. If i had to say something about the matter it would be that my friends would have to share some (any) hobby with me or else we wouldnt have absolutely jack shit to talk about. Or more properly that wouldnt evolve into a proper friendship.

Nope. They need to be able to acknowledge that it is a passion of mine and preferably be willing to indulge me when I need to gush about anime. And I'll hold myself to to the opposite standard. I will acknowledge my friends passions and be willing to listen to them when they're passionate about something that doesn't grab me as much. But do we need to share the exact same interests? No

Of course no. This thread makes no sense.
All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath.

My girlfriend doesn't like anime in the slightest and I don't know a single person personally who likes anime beyond the standard stuff like DBZ and Naruto. In fact, whenever I meet people through anime they tend to not be people I like or want to talk to at all for various reasons.

No of course not, Most of my friends don't watch anime. (With a few exceptions)
But that's the fun part, I can introduce them to anime and maybe they like it. It's just a plus seeing their face light up when they see something that they like.

They don't need to, as long as they respect my hobby. But it's more fun if they also watch it and we can talk about it, especially if we like the same genres.
