Only if I make them...And if it's something they might like...not a lot of violence, no stupid fanservice and a more mature story...

My father watched Demon Slayer Mugen Train with me in the cinema and he liked it pretty much. That was his first time watching anime. He said that was an emotional cartoon movie and I was like "bruh, how the hell can you still consider this as cartoon after seeing all that blood.". Still the fact that he enjoyed the movie was really exciting for me because asian parents still consider this something as a thing that 'kids only watch'.

My dad watched shows like Nils Holgersson and Space Battleship Yamato and my mom liked Heidi but they no longer watch anything animated. My dad watched the live action rurouni kenshin films this year and he liked them. Maybe he can be convinced to watch the animated version.

Only stuff that I make them watch with me, but I've never watched it with both at the same time cuz I know they wouldn't like the same ones. My mom liked Wolf Children, Your Name, Your lie in April, and A Silent Voice. My dad enjoyed Death Note, Psycho Pass, Princess Mononoke, and LOVED Attack On Titan.

My mother doesn't willingly watch anime, however, I've made her watch a few sad movies. She gave a solid 9/10 to wolf children.

My father has never watched anime. I plan on getting him to watch some though, I've yet to decide which anime though.

Never. My parents used to think all anime was satanic during the 90s and regulated everything I watched. I used to shop at Suncoast Entertainment for anime VHS tapes and they read the box to make sure it wasn't before they let me buy it. While they don't think anime is satanic now, they still hold onto a negative opinion of it.

I watched with my mom once Nils Holgersson in my very childhood, but we both thought it's just cartoon. I not really want them to watch anime, they have interests in many things, and it's not anime. I do not want to force them to do so.

My mom hates anime but has said she rater me watch anime than do drugs.

My grandma, calls me up and to ask "Bring over one of your shows(Anime) to watch."

my grandparents love "Mary and The Witch's Flower" I saw the movie when it came to theaters back in 2017 with them.


When i went to Japan back in 2018 i took my Grandma and my Mom with me. My grandma went with me to most of the places. mostly because my mom wanted to stay in the hotel room.

All I know is that my dad does, though he doesn't really say it out loud but I know he watches very ancient anime, mostly of the mecha genre. If I remember correctly, I remember seeing him watching astro boy when I was really young.

And I was like "How the hell did my dad just enjoy AoT, it's just pure gore, wtf dude". And also some normal one like KnY, JJK, and Fire Force (But my dad drop Fire Force and JJK both at S2 eps 20)

My mum used to watch anime when she was little, but I'm sure she treated it just as cartoons and wasn't interested exclusively in it. If there was a cartoon on TV, she watched it - just like the rest of the kids back then lol. She told me she watched Sailor Moon, Mysterious Cities of Gold, Maya the Bee (although many people here don't see it as an anime) and propably many many more, but she doesn't remember.

I made her watch two Ghibli movies, them being Porco Rosso and Spirited Away, wich she liked, but I could sense that she had some reservations (propably because of the slower pacing). I also tried to show her Grave of the Fireflies, but she refused. As for animated series, when I started to watch anime I showed her the first episode of Danganrompa (looking back now, not the best choice...) and she didn't want to continue, which I can't blame her for. Recently I suggested we watch Sakamichi no Apollon and, despite her reservations (she's not a fan of the language), she seems to be invested in it! We haven't finished it yet, so we'll see if she'll turn out to be a fan :P

My dad have propably watched some anime as a kid as well, not knowing it, but we never talked about it. I've never seen any anime with him and I don't think he'd like to, but we'll see how it goes.

Only if I force them to watch something.

I tried showing my mom a few - she only liked Violet Evergarden, Madoka Magica and Kono Oto Tomare.

Apart from the ones listed above, I showed my dad a fair amount, he seemed to like them all - Cowboy Bebop, Haikyuu, Assassination Classroom, FMAB, Shirobako, MHA, Demon Slayer, etc. He finds battle shonen to be relaxing after a long day.

My dad likes Dragonball Z and that's what started me on watching anime, but doesn't really watch any others. My mom and I like to watch anime together, her favorite is Hunter x Hunter, but we've watched My Love Story and we're watching Heroman right now. I would say it's a little unusual since my mom is 57, which isn't really in the demographic a mother would be in to be a "cool, anime watching mom". She's also born in raised in Mexico, but moved to the US just before I was born, so I think she's definitely someone who would be very unexpected to be an anime watcher. She actually wears a Hunter x Hunter shirt and I bought her some Hunter x Hunter pajamas for her birthday that she absolutely loves. Oh, almost forgot, she actually watched Candy Candy as a kid and she's still really fond of it.
