When talking about what i like i do admit to liking anime (to which they reply: omg u watch that porn stuff?) usually . There is no reason to hide it unless u wanna be labeled "sicko" since everyone thinks anime=hentai

I find that there is no reason to hide it as well...but i do get a bit edgy talking about it with people like teachers...example is that i have recently been trying to write a personal statement for university and my teacher asked if i have any hobbies...i said anime and the clueless look on her face didnt make me feel very well always say japanese animation instead of cartoons to be on the save side XD

If someone sees me watching and brings it up. Usually they say something like 'I just can't get into that stuff' which really sounds ominous to me lol What exactly do they think i am 'getting into'?
Had this conversation with the county sheriff the other day after he saw some heroic age on my laptop (yay for lawmen checking out my illegal copywrited material! woo!). I often reply that its an acquired taste, which ends the conversation (more ominous feelings lol)

I also usually say "Japanese animation," which tends to conjure up Miyazaki among people who know anything about modern global culture.

To my best friends, yes.
I do watch a lot, but I usually pick those for my taste. Some of my friends watch ecchi; I gave up on ecchi anime (not pics), hentai anime ('cept Class Reunion Again, which is the only one I own) and harem anime since my 2nd year in college; I wanted to start fresh. They have no problem about my situation. |

No,I dont, although my friends watch many animes.
My friends just dont understand why I love to watch some Anime like Suzumiya Haruhi,Air,Kanon and Lucky Star. All of they guys love Bleach,Inuyasha and Naruto.etc. --------------- like #13, I dont like ecchi anime,although I've played some of Echhi Game.And of course, I never say,"hey,I play ecchi game,yet I hate them." to my firends. --------------- |

Only if the other person/party mentions anime first. I find it far better to go along with the "majority" at university, like joining in for a game of Pro Evo Soccer on the Playstation even if I'm not really interested and the fact that I stink at it!

Well it's not something I necessairly hide nor is it something I bring up right away. Usually people notice something I'm wearing/watching/listening too, whatever, and it'll be anime related. Then I tell them because they usually show some sort of curiosity towards it. So I don't really hide it but I don't make a priority to tell people(well, unless I notice that they are into anime as well).
