Well I'm japanese so my parents don't mind. Sometimes we all watch the naruto dub on CN XDD They get lost fast though, ahahha. They also think Bleach is violent for a show XDD My mom says its "evil", but she doesn't really care if I watch it still hahahha.

Not sure, I don't really speak with my parents.
I doubt my mother has ever heard the term "anime". However, if I were to explain it to her, I imagine Pokémon would be the first thing to jump into her head.

My dad has a particularly nasty attitude toward anime. I bring it up once, not even thinking about it, and he gets this annoyingly smirky kind of mean attitude, and says something about "that crappy bad-animation where the mouths move forever even when they're done talking". -.-;;
And my friend hates the Japanese all together for no reason, so I tend not to bring it up.

My dad watched Death Note with me yesterday. But he missed the first half where Light kills Raye Penber . The rest of the episode after that was slow and he was all, "Why aren't they doing anything? Why is all they're doing talking? Why don't their mouths move to the words?" I was trying to show him that some anime has wonderful animation and that Death Note was intelligent, since he thinks it's all mindless fighting. *sighs* If he doesn't like Death Note, then there's no hope for him. Mod Note: Ed. to add spoiler tags. Hey, Chibi, please remember not to mention spoilers, or at least use tags ~ not everybody has seen that yet. Thanks!

*embarrassed that I'm still talking amidst all these sob-stories...* Both of my parents are obsessed with Death Note now. The only series that hasn't gotten a completely positive reaction for was Cowboy Bebop. My dad loved it, but my mom just thought it was "weird".

Ya know? When I over look this, I'd prefer that my parents to not be fans of anime. It'd be too wierd. And awkward. Honestly, I don't want to watch Rurouni Kenshin or Gintama or Fushigi Yuugi or any of my favorites on a Friday night with my parents. Not only is my mom the kind of mom to want the kind of stuff I watch censored, but as I said before, it would be just plain wierd. The only parent I wouldn't mind being in the same room while I watched anime is my dad. And that's just because he don't care crap about what I'm watching. That and he will either most likely fall asleep or just walk out of the room. But I have to admit that my mom has laughed at some moments of InuYasha.

Well, whenever I come out of my room after disappearing for a couple hours, my mom usually asks what I was doing, and if I was watching anime I try and explain the show to her. Usually she'll get interested and ask questions, but I was explaining Wolf's Rain to her the other day and she said it sounded pretty dumb, so I guess I can't consider her to be completely objective.
I know Avatar isn't really an anime, but my mom knows enough that she's able to make the connection between their animation styles. She really appreciates that Avatar has the pacing of an American cartoon, unlike shows like Naruto, which often times get bogged down by flashbacks and huge amounts of expository sequences. She doesn't watch on Fridays, but we have TiVo and we record all the episodes, so if she's folding laundry and none of her favorite shows are on, she'll watch.
My dad thinks that all anime is pretty ridiculous, but he isn't mean about it. I've got my shows, and he's got his. The biggest beef he has is that a lot of the stuff I watch online is licensed. My dad's a musician, so I figure that gets on his nerves a little, but he's never brought it up.

My mom is starting to get into FMA! My sister and I were watching it over Thanksgiving break, and my mom was in the room, so she watched it too, and now she likes it! I'm not sure what my dad thinks of anime. He probably doesn't care about it one way or the other. But my brother has a nasty attitude about it...he says it's all the same and things like that, and makes fun of it. I doubt he's ever even watched any anime...except maybe Pokémon when we were younger.

I think the only thing my mom like about anime and video games is the music. Just loves it, and at the same time ask, "why do these composers use all of their skill for a cartoon?"

Well, I don't think my mom knows quite how big my anime obsession is. I asked her to get me a particular manga volume for Christmas (hopefully she managed to find it). Although, I think she wants to "bond" with me because last week I came downstairs and she was watching Avatar. My mouth dropped literally

WTF, Naruto isn't that bloody. If she wants to see bloody, she should look at the manga!!
And Chobits is a messed up series. It's good but messed up.

My grandma thinks Avatar is Anime because I guess I told her that they are from China and she's like oh those are the cartoons you like! dont tell anyone that you watch it. Im not really ashamed of saying that I like cartoons.
