I don't want them to know because then they will make fun of anime and I can't accept that.

My parents don't mind. They thought it was a little weird in the beginning but then they started to accept it. And all of my friends watch anime so it's nothing to hide there as well.

I don't love anime... I don't really watch it as much as I used to. I watch it every couple of months when I'm bored. I'm trying to watch it more often now. But anyway. My brother knows I watch it. My sister knows I like to watch it (she knows I'm not obsessed though). My parents know I watch it... and some of my friends know I watch it (because they watch it too). So I'm pretty good so far tbh.

Don't love it, but my parents do so they don't care; it's fun looking for a show to watch together. My brother and sister don't care, but they don't like watching any.

You really make it sound like it's a bad thing, sure it's not considered popular by others, but normally people won't really go at JUST because you like anime, if they do, then that is a personal, it's not because of anime, that's just an excuse, it all depends if the said person is an easy target to begin with. I went through high school not hiding my love of anime, I didn't exactly scream to everyone that I loved anime, but I was not afraid of having discussions about anime in front of other people, and many did not mind it. It's all about character. Except for parents, they were raised in a more closed generation, therefore they find it a bit distasteful, but if you posses a strong character, it fades.

Is it supposed to be shameful to love anime? lol Anyway my father used to watch a few Leiji Matsumoto shows late in his teenage, so he doesn't judge it badly. Otherwise my mother doesn't give shit about it.

Back when I was 12... was watching some anime I don't remember the name of, however in the middle of the night when I was watching it and the gals in it was making weird noises, father came in like:



Thought I was watching porno... stood there for 5 minutes, then vacated the premises...

My family already knows. They don't give a shit. My mother has expressed concern about me becoming a recluse though, and not without reason. I'm happy staying away from people though, though her fears will probably become reality.

Anime is not a big thing.
This question sounds like animes are for adults and 18+

everyone is ok with it. My parents just annoy me that I'm 20 years old and still watching something like "pokemon" lmao xD

the only way to escape is to clear the game.
game over means actual death.

Everybody around me knows. Maybe I'd be more concerned if they found out I love yaoi, but even so all my friends know it and my family have seen I smile like an idiot whenever male homosexuality is involved. I'm a sick pervert.

I would suggest to kill everyone "who knows about".

Well, my family and friends already know. Some of my friends love anime, some don't. I still force the ones that don't to watch anime when I invite them over, though. XD My family actually likes anime and we spend time every Saturday watching SAO and Kuroko no Basket together. My parents are awesome and read manga, too. We've watched D. Gray-Man, FMAB, Code Geass, CLANNAD,Death Note, and a bunch of toher shows together. It's awesome. XD
They don't like to watch it in sub very often, but they get over it. XD

My mum really likes Studio Ghibli's work, especially Spirited Away.

Anyway, the fact this topic has 10 pages is kinda annoying. I'm sure no one cares that you like Anime, so there's no need to make a deal out of it.

Haha. They know, they don't care. My aunt, who has lived in our house for 10+ years was the one who got my into anime in the first place. It's nothing I'm ashamed of. Its not like I'm revealing mass amounts of pornography or something.
