| I try to never watch it in public, but I do go to the anime club offered here. There, I'll be watching anime with others but away from normie public |
 |
| No, because I'd have to do it on my phone, sluming it with a tiny 5 inch screen and why the hell would I do that when I have a much bigger TV, a surround sound system, and faster internet at home? I'll read digital manga or novels in public though. |

| hell yeah boi, show those plebs sum guud taste. |
 |
| Most i'll do is read manga. I don't want to be bothered when I'm watching something so I'd rather just wait until I'm home instead of watching on my small phone screen. |
| I'm not ashamed to watch anime in public. A couple of months ago I even watched some random 70s anime in a coach filled with my colleagues. |
| Depends on the type of anime I watched One Outs in public, and I was completely comfortable watching it. Now if it was something like To Love Ru, yea I would be uncomfortable with others seeing it |
 |
| I don't watch anime in public. I'm never really just sitting in waiting in public like that. |
why wouldn't i i am not a filthy basement weeb. why would watching anime in public be any diffrent then when i watch any other show in a public place? |
| "among monsters and humans, there are only two types. Those who undergo suffering and spread it to others. And those who undergo suffering and avoid giving it to others." -Alice “Beauty is no quality in things themselves: It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them; and each mind perceives a different beauty.” David Hume “Evil is created when someone gives up on someone else. It appears when everyone gives up on someone as a lost cause and removes their path to salvation. Once they are cut off from everyone else, they become evil.” -Othinus  |
| If I know it's not an ecchi I do. The only one I've watched is Sailor Moon. The classrooms in my university are too damn cold and I spent a lot of time inside of them, so no wonder I appreciate being outside when in the campus. Ofcourse with headphones because I have dignity. |
| yeah, i don’t really care about other people’s opinions. of course i’d rather watch at home but i used to watch during school a lot before i graduated and i’ll also watch during long car/train/bus rides. no one has ever said anything about it to me before other than my friends occasionally teasing me about it. |
| On my flight back from New York, I watched “Drifters.” I was completely emersed in the show, but little did I know that 2-3 people were accumulating behind me. It was a pretty gruesome episode, but overall I didn’t mind. The people were 40-50+ so that was interesting. |
| I watch anime at work, and in public places (if I feel the need to). Depending on how much I care about the people around me during that particular time, I might make sure that I'm watching something SFW, or if something lewd or ecchi shows up, I'll make sure to cover it. |
 |
| I do not, but I did see this big dude reading some shoujo manga at a Burger King once. It was pretty cool, he wasn’t hiding it and everybody could see it. |

Ponch9921 said: I have to watch it on the train, because I don't have time at home I've also watched anime while on the train. Truth be told nobody cares, they're usually to busy into whatever they are doing to pass the time. But I guess the kind of show you watch will play an important factor. |
 |
| I watch anime at the library sometimes, if that counts. |
 Ｓｗｅｅｔ♥I guess, as long as I have life, all I can do is fight with all my might. |
| I would never do that, my anime is too precious to be seen in such poor conditions, but I've seen people in the bus do that before, such an odd place to do that. |
| I don't even have internet when I'm not at home so there's no way I could watch anime in public. I have read manga while taking a break at work though. |
 |
| If it’s in a highly crowded place then no, but if there isn’t anyone sitting directly next to me then why not? If I really want to get to the next episode of something I’m fine with watching it outside. |
| No, not at all. But not because I care about other people's reaction. I don't give a damn about strangers' opinions towards me in watching anime. It's because: - I can't concentrate. - I don't watch anime with mobile phone because of small screen. That's why: - To watch anime in public mean I have to carry my laptop everywhere I go and it's troublesome. |
 |
| no. simply because I dont want to get a boner in public places |
| No, because I never watch anime with my mobile but I read manga in public... |
| Naah I watch it in my bedroom where I feel comfortable. |

| i often did when i was in college and i'd be lying if i said i didn't notice people staring a lot more than usual but i think it's just curiosity, because i also stare a lot when i notice someone's watching something or reading a book because i want to check out what is it, if i know what they're watching etc. but i will say i was at the university the other day and i was in the hallway and i heard that kissanime intro sound coming loudly from one of the main administrative offices and i HOLLERED |

| Yeah, netflix and prime do have some decent anime after all. On my way to work and back home I can usually watch up to 4 episodes a day, huge time saver. I woudln't recommend watching Hardcore Ecchi shows though. |
| yes, but I always try to watch anime that doesn't involve so much ecchi in it, gotta stay pure in public |
| I don't watch anything in public personally, my mind always thinks up the most insanely worst possible scenarios if someone sees me. Anime especially. Might just be my social anxiety I guess. |
| "Although Punpun didn’t really want to think about what the point of having dreams that could never come true was… To have dreams and worries that you could talk frankly about… In a way, that was probably a more fulfilling lifestyle than his own, Punpun admitted.

| Anyone who watches anime in public is braver than any US marine. |
 |
| I've watched anime in public several times sometimes people was giving me a weird reaction especially girls and old people but they never bothering themselves by asking me what I'm watching or giving me shitty comments 'bout my hobby btw the last time I've watched anime on the train there was a stranger who asked me for the name of the anime I was watching, I was sorta happy there's someone who likes anime too in my district |
| Yeah kind of, i watch funny moments of my favs anime in public sometimes. |
| I used to watch Death Note in my college courtyard between classes... Also, when I went to my local laundromat recently, I saw a guy watching what I assume was Fate/Apocrypha on his phone while his clothes were drying. As long as I have a good place to sit and have time to kill, I can watch an episode of anime although I prefer reading Manga in public spaces because noise interference... |
 |
| Not usually, no. But I have before. Had a long bus ride several months back and decided to watch a couple episodes of Violet Evergarden on my phone to kill time. Had good headphones so could hear fine. Although it became rather problematic because one of the episodes I watched was quite heartbreaking, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't have tears going down my face. Luckily the bus was semi-empty so no one noticed (I hope). |
| I used to watch Cardfight Vanguard in my high school courtyard between classes... |
 |
| Nowadays, I do. Folks in the house don´t mind about it. When I was a kid, I didn´t liked to watch together with adults, though. |

Dex_Lionhart said: I've already seen other people do it before, and the reaction of bystanders is basically no reaction at all.Do you watch anime in public? Basically my question. By public I mean anywhere where there are tons of strangers like in subways or train stations or bus stops where often random strangers sit next to you in waiting and possibly get a glance or two at whatever activity you're doing on you device/phone. If you're watching anime, take any demographic genre, whether it be pg or 18+ or anything. Lets say he's a total normie what kind of reaction do you get? Do they initiate a conversation with you or give a weird reaction? If yes what kind? Or you try to cover your screen in such a way only you can see? I mean, people also watch/read various other things on their phones already, and most people don't have any reason at all to make note of %anonymous_person_next_to_them% doing whatever as long as they keep to themselves. If anything it might be more common, even though still uncommon, that people start interesting conversations over a common interest -- e.g. "oh hey, that's a great show". People who don't care for this (the "total normies" you speak of) generally just go "oh, someone's watching Japanese cartoons, whatever", and they're actually more likely to go "ugh, everyone's stuck to their phones these days"...assuming that they aren't stuck to their phone themselves. As for myself, I don't watch anime in public, but not because of shame or anything -- it's because I really care about the music and atmospherics, and I can't get that on an airplane or a subway train or such. Too much background noise to really appreciate it. I could turn the volume way up but it might disturb people around me (and would still be kinda unsatisfying); I could use headphones/earbuds but then it might make me oblivious to my surroundings (and I really would not like to be robbed). |

| On a school trip a while ago I was excited to watch this one anime I was rlly excited for and one of the girls I roomed with saw my screen (it happened to be on a rare uhh questionable scene) and she gave me a freaked out look lolol. I haven't watched in public since~ |
| Nope, rarely, very rarely, i prefer to watch it at home or a cinema 'cause noice and comfort :) |
 Decide once every certain number of years which members of the ruling class will oppress and crush the people in parliament: this is the true essence of bourgeois parliamentarism, not only in the constitutional parliamentary monarchies but in the most democratic republics - The State and Revolution (September 1917), Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov "Lenin". |
| Not really. I prefer watching it at home, or if I'm much excited for the latest release I will immediately watch it when I'm still in public and they don't even care. |

| If there's anything inappropriate in the anime, I don't watch it in public. Otherwise, I don't care. Not like you're going to get killed or anything, it's just anime. Why should I care about what some random stranger has to say? |
 |
| In public, is the only time I watch anime these days. More specifically, on my daily 30 minute bus ride to and from school. I usually make sure the people around me can't see it. I don't ever watch anime in a scene where just anyone can peer and see what I'm watching. I can't gather the courage to watch it in the library or something, no matter what it's rated. Too embarrassing ufufu~ |
   |
| I watch anime whenever I have free time. If its on a bus so be it. I watch it at school when there's downtime in class and it's whatever I need to watch for the season or just random. |

|
| lol I don't go out in public so, no. The best way to watch anime is in the comfort of your own room without any distractions or worrying about being self-conscious what people may think of an anime that you're watching. |
