Well it depends on your folks but the sad fact of the matter is, even if theres a chance you can show them that anime isnt a bunch of juvenile pornographic drivle, you gotta be careful in what you show them. Ghibli is always good, Kon and Oshii are for more heady arthouse peeps. Tv series are another thing though, I find that comparatively a small sliver of a fraction of contemporary anime tv shows would ever go over well with my mom.
Besides being animated, some anime just have these quirks that we eventually get used to that regular people would just be bewildered by. My mom would never sit down and look at something like Mai-Hime or Negima for example.

my grandmom is a psycho control freak. I'm glad i moved away from that wretched state. anyways, I wonder how much my mom will actually watch haha.

I like how adult swim changed it from originally being adults only to only kids under 14. They're finally being honest about their audience, hahaha.
