Let’s say I don’t make propaganda or exposure just to inform everyone about my tastes, but if it the subject naturally comes to a conversation, then yes, usually I like to tell them. Once it’s not very usual among my friends, it even helps me to make the difference. ;)

i Don't See a Problem in Telling PPL That You Love/Like Watching Anime, All My Friends & Family Know that i Love Watching Anime, They think i'm immature Cuz i watch What they like to Call "Cartoons"..

But i don't really care about that as long as i'm doing something i Love and not Wrong.

Just about everyone at my school knows I take an interest in anime, and it's not like others at my school don't watch anime either.

There's no point hiding your hobby if you enjoy it tbh...

Depends on the person you are talking to and whether it is relevant to the conversation.

Wouldn't talk about how they are doing and then be like "by the way I fucking love anime", but wouldn't deny it and would bring it up if I thought they liked it as a conversation point. Post shit about it on FB and stuff so can't be that much of a secret.
One day we will come upon each other, and for that day my claws, teeth, ears, hands and hair are at the ready.

To be honest, not really. My close friends and those I go to Anime Club at school with, yes. But I won't go up to some random guy and start quoting lines from an anime.

If they ask, or if it comes up somehow, sure. Usually I'll just tell them about entry level stuff. The only person I've ever had an extensive discussion about anime with that wasn't already a close friend, was someone that had watched Inferno Cop. So, for the most part, no. I don't really feel the need to shove my hobbies into people's faces, no matter what they are.

If I'm being asked, sure.
When I see people talking about it, I won't jump into the discussion screaming "OHMAGOSH ME LOOKS ANIME TOO", though.

Well, it's a medium for entertainment, so I don't see why I should hide this fact.

Yeah, And I sometimes do when people ask me what Television shows I watch or what do I like. But If someone I don't really know comes up to me and starts talking to me, I probably won't say it. I'd just say "Hi?" and Continue what I'm doing because it'd be too random for me to say it.

I'm pretty sure I say that I like Anime way more frequently than most people, Anime is basically the only television programming I watch now. I'd have to say that 20% of the words I say every day have to do with Anime, so people don't really need to be told that I like it. But I tell them anyways because I'm evil! >:D and like to talk

Well, I don't usually tell them, but I am not being quiet about it either. I mean, if someone asked me anything, of course I would talk about it. I have no reason to hide it, but I have no reason to brag about it as well.

On the internet, sure, I will say it, but to people at mah school, I find it to be too embarrassing. There's really only two kids I know IRL who probably know I like anime. One sits at mah lunch table everyday, the other kid I know caught me watching Lucky Star in the hall once but said nothing (instead he attempted to steal mah charger), but I'm sure he knows I watch anime now.

I don't go around my school asking people if they've watched the latest episode of Naruto Shippuden. That is just way too embarrassing. It is considered weird to watch and like anime, most likely because it's in Japanese. Watching anime is a hobby so it shouldn't be looked at as something weird. I mean if you take an English dubbed episode of an Anime and showed it to a friend, they'd probably view it as a regular cartoon.

There's nothing embarrassing in looking at anime. Sure, some people still think it's for kids but you wouldn't be talking to them about anime in the first place, so why feel embarrassed? And besides, we all know that anime can be silly as hell to more serious and action packed than most summer blockbuster movies.

Only if they ask. Who wants to be known as an anime geek? Going around telling people you like anime like it's a character trait is stupid. It's not like when someone introduces themselves to me they add "I love anime and manga and especially these characters from..." or whatever. It's a good way to set yourself up as a weirdo.

The Art of Shipping is no mere game. It can be small skirmishes to huge nation size wars.
Of course some will claim their ship is the BATTLESHIP but they all do. This is why battles occur because of factions fighting each other to justify their favourite ship.
And thus SHIP to SHIP combat occurs almost anytime even now.
Beware, Threading into the Shipping battlefield will be bloody.... What are you waiting for?

Same here. It's not like I need to announce my hobby. I only try to get people into it only if they want to know more about it.
