I had my dad watch Tokyo Ghoul and he said that while he didn't like the animation and art, he enjoyed the story.
Both of my parents have seen a few episodes of SNK and Sinbad no Bouken but they wouldn't consider themselves fans of anime.

No, but I'm trying to get my dad to watch Trigun since he's a big fan of westerns.

No, sadly. I wish they did but they dont lmao.

Like, I have made them watch anime before, but they aren't too interested. They don't hate it though so at least that is a start.

I think some years ago I watched 10 episodes of attack on titan with my mum which was pretty great

Nope - however my dad is open to it so I'm hoping once I move in with him, I'll get him hooked on a series or two.

My parents sort of know what it is, honestly they probably just think it's some weird form of porn. But when i was younger i would sometimes watch dragon ball or avatar with my grandfather and he seemed to like it.

My dad likes watching sports.

My mom likes watching home renovation shows and Law and Order.

My (18 yr. old) brother got me into anime but I've watched about 13x more anime than him (ironic right).

I'm 15 and I Love anime with a passion!


Lol I said this almost 2 years ago and my parents still haven't watched any anime with me, ugh.

Yup, I only have my mom in my life, but she watches pretty much anything I recommend to her (I watch them with her- my rewatch count on my profile is pretty much for all the movies/series I've seen with her, minus a couple I've rewatched with friends).

Her favorites are the slice of life stuff like Yuru Camp, Non Non Biyori, Anohana, etc., but she's also really enjoyed the thrillers like Steins;Gate, Erased and Madoka Magica. We're currently watching Aria together and she loves it :)

My Mum is Japanese so she watched a lot of anime airing on TV in the late 70's and early 80's. These included many World Masterpiece Theatre anime, Ginga Tetsudou 999, Ashita no Joe etc. I don't think I would be interested in older anime if she hadn't shown them to me!

no, but they’re familiar with anime (especially my dad, i remember showing him some fullmetal alchemist mangas i bought and he said “oh shit i remember when that was on toonami”. he also likes to make fun of dragon ball.) however once me and my dad watched an episode of cowboy bebop together. but i don’t think they’d actually watch a whole series.

my friends’ mom watches anime though....it’s weird

I can't even imagine them watching anything like it. They only know Ginga Nagareboshi Gin because it was like every other cartoon when I was a kid and I used to watch it so many times.

nah.. too old of a farts to comprehend even anime/games or anything of nowadays. Basically stuck-up non-progressive oldies.


But if ever get to a stage to make a family, then surely would let kids grow up on anime etc..

Not out of their own volition. I've told my mom I've wanted to watch anime with her, and she obliges, although I don't think she'd willingly watch one herself. I've watched these with her:
- Howl's Moving Castle
- The Secret World of Arrietty
- Erased
- Your Lie in April
- Shiki
- Violet Evergarden

I have watched anime with my mother before, but that's about it, she doesn't express any desire to watch them otherwise.

My father doesn't even really know what anime is.

I mean I am glad they don't. ಠ_ಠ People tend to look at the bad side of things and I won't say anime is all good.
Some of this shit has given me childhood trauma and depression. Probably because as a 14 Y/O I shouldn't have watched anime that chokeslam you right in your feels. ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ
Btw I am curious if other people have ever got traumas from watching anime? Or was my younger self (even the current self) just a big pussy? (ಥ﹏ಥ)
