Fusion X. Denver Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 So my dad asks me to take out the garbage as I'm watching the latest Bleach episode. I say fine and put my laptop down while I go take it out. When I get back, I see my dad staring at my laptop.

Kitty Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 My moms caught me playing Pokemon LeafGreen and talking to myself. "Itachi use Flamethrower and kill that guy." "Kitty what are you doing?" "I'm Pokemon battling woman." "Aren't you too old for that? You're 18 for crying out loud!" "It's not something you grow out of mom! YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND! YOU TRY PLAYING THE GAME AND RAISING 342 POKEMON THEN YOU TRY TO PUT IT DOWN!!!!! YOU CAN'T DO IT!!!!" I spiced that up some. Basically everything's true up until the caps. Seriously Pokemon isn't something you just grow out of... >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Zero Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Say that someone online recommended it. tbh, my parents and family have no clue that I watch a ton of anime. But when I say that I go back to watch an old anime from childhood; DBZ, Gundam Wing, Digimon, ect. They don't even care. My friends don't really know because we rarely talk about it. If you can't explain it away then start by making the case that anime isn't only for kids and that it's the Americanization of it that forces that stereotype on it.

Tourmaline Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 That's cool. I wish my parents called me by my username, too. There's nothing I'd be more afraid than bothered to share with most people. Especially nothing with my friends and family. My friends know I watch more anime than I do schoolwork and other things combined and my family knows I do but not in a quantitative equivalent. It's more my brother who knows of this than most of the others in the family, but I'd share if asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DARKPLANT RISING Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 I've never been caught doing something private by parents. That, in no means, is the same thing as "I don't do anything private". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shradow Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 My mom and I watch FMA: Brotherhood every week, and she's taken me to cons, so she knows about my anime love. When she walked in on me watching MLP for the first time it took some convincing but she's accepting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burnpsy Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 I make it perfectly clear to my parents that what I wish to do with my time and money is my decision and mine alone. They back off. My father occasionally tries to say I'm wasting money, but I just lecture him again, pointing out how I worked for the money on my own. The only real issue they've had after that is my playing Ar tonelico Qoga in the living room in the middle of the day, because of the existence of some variation of this for all 10 or so playable girls: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKGjhnIMjXo"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKGjhnIMjXo[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yang Xiao-Long Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 I was watching the Zanpakuto Unknown Tales arc of Bleach this past Saturday, and my dad watched the episode with me. He had the look of "What the hell am I watching, and why am I still watching this?" on his face. >.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Revan of the Sith Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 I let everyone I know know that I love anime and I love manga and I am a straight up weaboo... Thing is though I don't usually act weabooish when I am on this site... I like making sure everyone knows my secrets cuz they aren't really secrets... In my honest opinion, there is no such thing as privacy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunar Origins Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 I have no door, so I have no privacy. ...but none of them knew that I watched anime until I asked to get Death Note and TTGL for Christmas :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makο Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 My parents know that I like anime, but they don't let me watch it. They just don't know that I STILL can watch anime none the less. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brushfire Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 All of my friends know that I watch anime. If it bothered them or they saw me differently because of it, then they would not be my friends. To be honest I have good friends. My mum knows too. She's never commented and I really doubt she gives a s***. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Crouton Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Hide it before you get up. Don't even mention your hobby-why is Galvatron making Bruticus work at a computer? And how did Bleach reach 340+ episodes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grunt Issun Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Not really. Though I'm quite afraid someone will walk in whilst I'm watching MLP:FiM, so I always hold my remote so I can change the channel, and if they ask I can say "Flipping through the channels" Strangely enough, though, my parents didn't question anything when I got FFX-2 in the mail by mistake (I had ordered FFX) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
