Have your parents ever seen anime? Perhaps, they watch anime with you?

Back when I was a child my parents would watch anime with me. Now, they still watch it everytime I play it on tv. I remember watching Attack on Titan with my mom and my siblings. (I was only rewatching it tho) I was giggling because I found her reactions funny. She was like "Oh my God. Look at that! There's a giant cannibal! Ahhhhh! Oh my God! His mother was eaten!!!" My siblings were all shocked about what's happening in the anime. I could still remember the look on their faces. Lol

I've once tried to watch an anime movie (The Wind Rises) with my father. But after 20 minutes into the movie, he immediately fell asleep lol.

Nope. There's almost no anime which has Dutch subs or dubs. Guess what's the only language they speak.

My father can only watch stuff dubbed, and small amounts.

Naturally, Dragon Ball, Pokemon, and Yu-Gi-Oh.
Recent though, I hooked him onto Boku no Hero Academia while my brother and cousin hooked him onto One Piece and Yu Yu Hakusho.

The one thing that still shocks me is how he still manages to watch Pokemon. I stopped after 14th season, but he's still going strong.

Only one he has had to tell me he watched before is Mobile Suit Gundam, but could not tell me which one.

I can hardly get my mom to even watch a scene I found amusing. She just doesn't get it. At all lol.
Same goes for my dad really.

I think that people either love anime or don't get it at all and think they're cartoons meant for kids.

I went to watch Kimi no Na Wa with my mom at the cinema and she really liked it. She's also seen a fair share of Ghibli movies. Next up I wanna make her watch JoJo, even though there's no way she'd enjoy it lul

I haven't watched any anime with my mom in a long time, but we used to watch many anime together though.

She's seen these: Pretear, Fruits Basket, Full Moon wo Sagashite, Matantei Loki Ragnarok, Rockman.EXE, Lovely Complex, Death Note, Fullmetal Alchemist(2003 version), Shaman King, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX(only the third arc), Naruto + a part of Naruto Shippuden, D.Gray-man(not including Hallow), Katekyo Hitman Reborn!, Karneval, Tegamibachi + Tegamibachi Reverse, Touken Ranbu Hanamaru(not including Zoku) and Katsugeki Touken Ranbu. She's enjoyed almost all of them but wasn't a fan of Matantei Loki Ragnarok, Pretear and Yu-Gi-Oh!


I also made my grandmother watch some anime as well, but only a little bit since she only comes to visit once a year for a month and i show her one episode a day. She's seen: A bit of Naruto, Some of Katekyo Hitman Reborn!, Karneval, Tegamibachi(only the first season), Touken Ranbu Hanamaru + Zoku Touken Ranbu Hanamaru and Katsugeki Touken Ranbu, she doesn't really like the violence though and i think she preferred the slice of life portions of Reborn! and Touken Ranbu more lol.

Also, since neither of them know english, i have to play narrator and translate it back into our language so they understand.

My father hasn't seen any anime and my Sister thinks i'm just being childish for watching cartoons and need some other occupations....

My mom would watch Yu-Gi-Oh and Avatar the Last Airbender(although its not considered an anime) with me and my sister any time it was on TV, but my dad would always disparage the both of them to no end for being childish. I've never seen either of them watching any cartoons, nevermind anime, on their own. I've never recommended an anime to them or watched one with them either.
It's not like I like anime or anything.

"Do your parents watch anime?"
Not really.

My mother watched Detective Conan when it was airing on local TV (ep 1-200, local language subtitles) because she likes detective series also I showed her Cowboy Bebop and Macross Zero. I think she liked them both but never wanted to see more...maybe because those have sad endings...or just she dislikes the animated format.

My father would never touch the stuff.

My mom thinks that every time someone (character or in real life) speaks in japanese, it seems like they're fighting and yelling at each other, and that they are always grumpy, it's a big no for her, but my dad watched dub Dragon Ball as a kid, although that is as far as he'll get probably.

No, actually they're the worst type of ignorants - people who only saw some Disney movies and now think that animation can't ba as serious as live action and only kids can enjoy it. Yes, this includes anime. I gave them Sennen Joyuu on dvd but I'm not sure if they're ever going to watch it. Maybe I should just give them Perfect Blue, it has naked tits on the back cover, should pique their interest.

I’ll watch the occasion anime here or there with my dad. But he isn’t big fan of anime or anything and he could really tell you anything about besides it’s stuff made in Japan. Only ones he really knows about are Pokemon, YuGiOh and Dragon Ball cause I watched those to no end as a kid

I actually found out a while back that my dad has seen almost double the amount of shows that I have watched - allbiet he's a dubs only kind of guy.
My mom on the other hand, I actually managed to get her into watching anime after I gave her Your Lie in April. I've since followed up with a few Ghibli films, Koe no Katachi, Fairy Tail, and really just any SoL or CGDCT anime

No, in fact, they hated it and my father tried to make me hate it too. But eventually they gave up when I told them that Heidi and a lot of other childrens TV was also Anime. Now the only Anime they sort of like is Pokemon but they do not watch it actively.

Actually my father got me into Captain Herlock, Ulysse 31, Captain Future and Taiyou no Ko Esteban when I was young and I later got him back into animes and mangas with Death Note and One Piece.

Lately he's been watching My Hero Academia, Food Wars, One Punch Man, Dragon Ball Super and some dramas.

And my uuncle's fan of Chobits and Bleach.

Cool guys.
