I don't really care if other people think this is an unpopular hobby or not. I watch anime because I like and I want to have some fun and entertain myself.
Besides it is like anything TV related. Most people want to watch TV at the comfy of their homes, they don't want to go down to the pub to watch the hot soap opera, drama or comedy with fellow drinkers.
Although normal TV shows are much more easier to talk about (socialize) with random people due to many factors including cultural differences, or any own personal fears about talking to other people about "toons".
I do still talk to anyone that has a liking for comics about anime and manga, although I always try to go with the main stream, most popular or 'serious' ones (not good trying to start a conversation with Strike Witches for example), and if they don't have anything bad to say but the typical cliches, for stuff like Akira, Ghost in the Shell or even DBZ, then you can move on forward with lesser known animes.
