| Heh. I think for me it depends on the anime and where I am. If I'm at my mother's she understands and gets anime is my thing. Now at Father's house.... Yeah, I won't get caught watching anime there. ( ^ - ^ ) |
| If it was something cute-ish, then yes. :p |
| Harem, Ecchi, or Animes like Lucky Star are embarassing to watch if any member is right behind you. Also if there is this some scene that shows any fan-service. It took a lot of explaining. I now ready my hands on the spacebar and the browser's minimize button since then. :/ |

| I don't care. Never cared much, I just get annoyed if I am bothered... and have to pause it.. But it's also ok if I don't, I can understand Japanese with all the anime that I've seen.. Hentai's not my thing tho, used to be before for the laughs, but now I can only watch Anime on a daily basis. ^^ I'm ok saying that I am addicted to it. Yet I do not have like thousands of shelves nor books or figures laying around. I just watch alot of it. Eheh. Feel free to ask for some suggestions on them, I won't bother writting reviews tho, it's too much trouble... yet I remember all the stories on those animes. |

| No, they don't care. |

But it's hard to get off to anything that doesn't have any adult women characteristics like large tits, ass, and thighs. http://imgur.com/qgjKHGn |
| Not really. They're used to it. Then again, I prefer to watch when no one is around. |
 |
| Nope~ I actually found out about anime because of my family; Death Note, Trigun, Fruits Basket, etc. Of course, I keep hentai and nudity away from the eyes of my family for the most part. If it's just there, like Ghost in the Shell or something, I don't really care. |
 |
| kind of, but i'm proud of it and everyone in my family knows that i'm addicted to it. there are just times that i have to lock my door coz i'm watching somewhat ecchi ( i don't watch hentai. ) |
| Watching anything in front of people is embarrassing to me. It could be Lucky Star or Family Matters or bloody Schindler's List, and I'll be embarrassed. LE'MEE ALONE! GOKU JUST TURNED SSJ9 |
 Pikachu wants some |
| My case is exactly the same as the OP. |
| Forever lost. |
| Why should I be embarrassed doing something that I love? My family has respect for me and my hobbies/ aren't judgmental pricks. In fact, I watched the dub of SOA just the other day in front of them. |

As for the first half: short hair, don't care. I refuse to be ashamed of something that has no bearing on anyone's life but my own. |

| No ecchi no problem |
 |
| Depends on which family member. My mother, brother and grandmother don't care. But my stepfather is a racist so he has a problem with it. I also have this aunt who is as subtle as a bullhorn so she tends to ask the typical questions very, very loudly. What is that? What language are they speaking? Are those cartoons? Aren't you a little old for cartoons? etc. |
Kalalification said: NickyCharisma said: The hallmark of an intelligent response: rote denial.Mmmmmm... no. I don't think so. Put more effort into your self-analysis and you won't be so gung-ho about finding and conforming to your favorite identity clique. Nor will you think it's harmless to flaunt your eccentricities in front of the people who offer the most credible and accessible account of your personality. You're definitely new to the forums if you expect me to have an intelligent response! Onto your comment, it's vapid and ultimately meaningless. You can string together 25 cent words together and call it an argument if you want, but it doesn't make it good. |

| When it's not ecchi then no. |
| lol, sometimes I watch anime WITH my parents, so they're totally cool with that. |
 |
| No. |
 |
| no, except it's hentai |
| Yes, because cartoons are for children. |
| Sometimes, yeah. When I'm watching an anime with a fair amount of fan service. |
 |
| I would say yes,but the truth is I don't really know,since I always switch to something else when someone enters the room,guess it's time to actually find out. |
| So Far,so Good...So What! |
| My parents know I watch anime but it's not like they watch with me. The computer is in a different room from where they are but when they come inside they see me watching anime but it's not embarrassing I don't watch anything bad anyways and even if they come inside in a kissing scene or something it's just a kiss nothing bad so overall no it's not and I really don't care what they think :P |
 |
| Depends on what they walk in on. |
 |
| I do watch some titles in front of them; if the parents are in the house then Ecchi is a no-no. Normally I would be watching shows that are more story-oriented like Macross, Initial D and Gundam. My dad and I even begin talking about the show whenever he tags along. When they aren't, that's when I bring out my ecchi titles like To-Love Ru, Sora no Otoshimono and Haganai. I mentioned the three above since my younger sister happened to watch along just for fun and was laughing at all three until the end. She found Sora no Otoshimono the funniest among the the titles she watched alongside me. |

| If its something like Hellsing or Higurashi, I'd have no problem and actually hope they would get interested in it. However if its Ecchi....er..would depend on the person. Big boobs, up-skirts and the such is kinda hard to explain to others. |
| Hell no all my mom hears about from me is anime and will hear Japanese music I don't pause my anime for no one |
| I am awesome Don't argue with me because you know I am |
| i live with my dad and he doesn't really care what i do. |
 |
| Yes, especially when I watch romcom (which is the genre I most watch) because I maintain the image in our family I'm like the badass lmao |

| Why the heck watches anime in front of their family or in public places. I have a computer in my room so that is never a problem.......then yet I haven't watched anime in months.........well not a new one anyways. |
| Only if it's lewd. YOU KNOW THEY WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND |
     I am the senpai that notices you. |
| Nope. |

| It's not like they give a shit about what I'm doing on the computer anyway :D |
 |
| I make my family watch anime, although they still don't see why I watch it so much. |
| Never forget! Don't believe in you who believes in me, don't believe in me who believes in you, believe in you...who believes in yourself! |
| I remember once my family's Foxtel (pay TV, equivalent to the US' cable I'm guessing) was given 2 weeks of free movie channels. It just so happened that Afro Samurai was being played during this time. Long story short, I started watching it with my mother in the room, intense sex scene passed, she left.. Not a great first impression for her I'm guessing. |
| I don't mind that my family knows that I do . |
| "However, by that point you'll have been torn into pieces." |
| You're not alone. |
 |
| I didn't start watching anime until I was independent so... |

| Depends on what I'm watching. If I'm watching some ecchi anime, it can get awkward as hell when a random tit flies onto the screen randomly, but other than that, I 'm fine with watching every other genre in front of my family. |
| Well, if the whole family watching with you, why would you ? Its more enjoyable. Its not like you did something wrong, anime is like any other media. So I don't really see why |
