Recently living on my own and for the first time I watched an anime on the big screen instead of on my laptop. Had to ease myself in to the first few episodes. Constantly felt my dad was going to burst through my front door WHATCHAWATCHINSON.

Constantly felt my dad was going to burst through my front door WHATCHAWATCHINSON. I largely attribute all my social and psychological problems as an adult to my mom making fun of me watching DBZ when I was a child by pretending to charge up. I tried turning off and on the TV when she'd go in and out of the room, and then eventually I gave up. I finally brought myself to watch Kai only recently... Additionally, I was watching Code Geass Part 2 or whatever it was called in not-my-room for once to escape the heat, which for some reason had a single scene of lesbian nudity. Naturally, this was the moment my mom entered the room and looked at the screen. My sister apparently made it through childhood unscathed and watches anime on the big screen (though sadly, they are dubbed).

Ugh, you've just reminded me that while I was careful not to let my parents catch me watching hyper violent 90's OAV's, I didn't care about my sister and in fact took delight in trying to gross her out as much as possible.

I am so glad I had my own TV that was bigger than the familys TV before I started watching anime so I didn't have to put up with any of this poo poo.

My parents were visiting this weekend and I had to hide all of my Space Dandy merchandise because it was pin ups of Honey the waitress in a sexy pose and a big pennant that said BOOBIES on it.

My parents bought me my first subtitled anime in middle school which happened to be a VHS copy of Escaflowne. My mom wanted to know what the hell it was, so was determined to watch it with me. She became more emotionally invested in it than I was by the end. Folken is her favorite anime character. Apparently, bishi tropes work on middle-aged white women in the United States, as well.

This thread is too real. I tried to get my girlfriend to watch Madoka one time; she left the room halfway through the OP and told me it was kiddie porn. Ever since then, I've struggled to value her opinion

I like Madoka a lot but the OP is really, really bad. I actually did the same thing when the show was airing and didn't return to it until months after it had aired.

Like every single one of you I was also super weird growing up and my parents latched onto anything they could that I was doing in an attempt to understand their dumb weird little kid so when I watched Pokemon on the big screen in the living room as a kid my parents proceeded to buy me pokemon stuff for the rest of my life(i'm 30 now and still get stuff in the mail every now and again). I didn't watch anything on the big screen again because they managed to make it weird by being attentive, loving and caring parents, curse them. I mean pokemon owns so it worked out fine but I can't imagine what I would be getting in the mail these days if I watched poo poo like madoka and they saw it. Can't imagine how anyone watches anything even remotely japanese within earshot of their parents.

My mother would always just make snide comments about the high-pitched cartoon voices, so I learned to only watch in the family room when I had a cohort of friends over and the collective teenage nerd stench kept her away.

Oh yeah, how did I forget?! My dad: Occasionally I find out he's watched an anime here or there on his own (also samurai movies). He apparently liked Wolf's Rain, which I'm not even sure how he learned about; I've never seen it myself. I tried to burn him some anime DVDs, but I'm not sure he ever watches them. But the weird thing is when I look through his movie collection or once or twice just sitting on the floor of his car, there's hentai DVDs just laying there. He also showed us Crying Freeman when we were children. To this day, the only thing I remember is that there was nudity in it. He's kind of weird that he seems very interested in Japan, yet never seems to know anything about it. (Also never visits me when I'm there.)

my mom took my brother to an anime convention once i was too shy to join along but my brother did walk in when i was watching kannazuki no miko literally right as girls were making out and that's about it, my brother was always the more open anime-er, starting with an episode of bleach that was on adult swim or something, he would be more insightful to this thread

My mom is a fan of the anime adaptation of Blood Blockade Battlefront and yesterday watched all of One-Punch Man that's currently out. I'm pretty sure someone also gave her DVDs for the original Sailor Moon once and she watched through all of it. What I'm saying is, my family is very much slightly less normie than the average, and I'm proud.

So when I was in high school and first getting into anime, a friend of mine lent me a stack of video tapes of various shows, a bunch of fairly recent (at the time) releases from ADV. One of them was the first volume of an OVA called Sakura Diaries, which yeeeeeah. Not the kind of thing an emotionally unstable ninth grader wants his mom to find. SO OF COURSE one of my friends told her I had it, and fun times were had by all when she made me watch it with her and my dad. I hoped she would think it was over when the ending credits of the first episode began to play, but nope, she was unfortunately smarter then that. As soon as it was over she told me to go to my room and 'make sure not to bring that crap into this house again'. The best part came a few years later when she found a stack of Card Captor Sakura DVDs in my room and started to freak the gently caress out about them, and I had to explain that it was something completely different.
