Lol, they'd most likely be into anime I dislike. No, it's not important.

I'd rather date someone who watches anime too. Whenever I dated someone who didn't, they'd tease me about watching "cartoons" at my age and it would get annoying over time.
Plus it's nice to be able to have an occasional brief discussion about this or that anime with the person you're dating.

As a bisexual female having dated both guys and girls that watched anime, the pattern seems to be that casual anime watchers who have seen anime besides Naruto, One Piece, Bleach and the sort are the ones I get along with best.

What I didn't like about dating guys that watched anime was that they would often just watch straight-up hentai, or at least ecchi anime. When one guy recommended me Mirai Nikki and told me that Death Note was in his top three, I was so thankful that there were guys out there with good taste. (My current boyfriend pretty much only watches action anime where there's lots of fighting, which is new for me, but I don't mind it at all because at least he accepts and understands my interest in anime even if he doesn't watch the same type.)

Girls that watch anime and flaunt their love for it tend to be so cringe-worthily socially awkward and don't know when to stop talking about anime, so I don't go for them at all. (Not every one, of course, but generally.) Then there are the pretty cool females that don't really talk about it until maybe you mention that you like Death Note and they pipe up, "Oh, me too! Have you watched Code Geass?" -swoons-

When I dated people that didn't watch anime, some of them thought it was adorable that I was secretly pretty geeky, but with some of them I tried not to mention it. You can just tell what kinds of people will be cool with it and what kinds will judge you for it. And then some surprise you.


IMO I think anime is seen as only hentai in some peoples point of view and as the saying goes "sex sells" so a lot of animes has ecchi etc.This is the reason why a lot of people are skeptical about anime and think oh he watches anime then its gotta be only hentai that exist etc. Thats why I recently began to wondered what it would be like for me to find someone I care for and at the same time enjoys anime to a similar extent as myself :)

I could have sworn I answered this before...

As a guy who has never dated any girl I'd consider less than an 8, I can say that it's not really important so much as desirable. A couple of them were into the mainstream stuff but some of the hotter ones wouldn't pay it any mind. But that was fine. I kept my hobby for me, not them. There was one though who actually would sit down and watch any anime with me...so long as I indulged her and watched....ugh....Jersey Shore?

They would at least have to be tolerant of it and accepting that I like it, even if they don't watch it. Though if they do like anime, even if its just mainstream its a a big plus.

A girl I dated watched anime but rode the hype train on anime. Never heard of a show that was outside the top 25 most popular here.

If the show is hyped talk about it. Else ~

tbh I prefer to have a girlfriend that isn't into anime.. I would hate to have some otaku dweeb as a girlfriend in my life.

A hot girlfriend who likes anime? Impossible. Don't believe anyone who says otherwise.

There is a nice looking girl that likes anime at my work too but I'm not interested in her.

Not really. If I dated a girl who wasn't into anime, I'd try showing her a few, although I wouldn't force it on her.

I've only dated one person who called themselves an "anime fan." They had only seen Angel beats and a couple others, and were very open to suggestion so I didn't mind that because I had never really dated anyone with similar hobbies before.
I wouldn't mind dating more people with similar hobbies as it's just another thing to talk about, but I don't think it's a problem if they don't have them.

if the girl doesn't like my hobbies (games, anime, etc.)
I would ditch the girl. Not really worth giving up my hobbies for a girl.
but the real question How hot is the Girl?

and like they say "Hobbies will stay forever.
but girlfriends always change."

I think it's important, coming from a girl's perspective. It would kind of be a boring relationship if both partners don't have similar interests with each other. If I was in a relationship, I wouldn't mind if my boyfriend had a waifu or something.

My boyfriend tolerates anime, but he doesn't exactly like it. I can watch a few episodes while I'm at his house but he'll play a game or something so he doesn't have to watch.

It would certainly be great but not something I actively search for. If they don't like anime but like Breaking Bad I'm more than okay with that. If they like anime but enjoy stuff like Mirai Nikki and absolutely refuses to watch Breaking Bad then they would probably have to have a really, really good personality for me to be able to tolerate them.

It would be great if any possible future boyfriends/girlfriends liked anime. ;_;
Or at least they'd be willing to watch it with me.
I do have other hobbies though, so I guess it's not a big deal. I just don't want the "what's more important, my sister's housewarming party or that anime convention that you already paid for?" type of thing to come up. Because like seriously, you can warm the house after the con, okay?

My current GF isn't that big into anime though she does watch and enjoy the occasional show I convince her to see. She would never watch it in her own time, which is still cool with me.

Anime time should be time spent with the wifu.

No but it's important that she won't overreact to fanservice or loli fanservice, she can hate it but as long as she doesn't turn me into ANN's newest discussion topic we can date.

It's not necessary but of course I'd like a partner who shares my interests. The more stuff you can watch together the better.
