If people watched anime more often, they'd see they aren't anything like normal cartoons.

my mom calls them cartoons, and she wants me to stop watching cartoons all together, so i guess she doesn't hold an actual GRUDGE against it. she just wants me to grow up [i'm only a teenagerr DX]
i watch it with my dad sometimes. he's pretty cool with it, and he gets what anime is [japanese animation. haha], but he doesn't like when i watch it too much, because i was the one that introduced my 11 year old cousin to it, and showed her how to watch episodes on the internet. I was trying to convert her to being a bleach fan like me so I'd have someone to talk to about the show, but she ended up watching naruto. a lot. Like 6 episodes a day. It wasn't that bad until school started and she kept watching it like constantly, and she's not that great of a student x.x So it's sort of my fault. heh
The worst part is that because naruto is so LONG, that it's like it drags on FOREVER. Fortunately for her, the show is finished technically, so without new episodes she'll have to get over it eventually.
but she's watching avatar next XD. For some reason, she finds it impossible to watch more than one anime at once x.x

Haha, I'm the opposite. It's hard for me to read more than one manga at once. I CAN, but I overload around 3.

Well, they wish I wasn't obsessed. But then I say I could be doing drugs or having sex, and then they say, "Well, cartoons are good." xD But my parents tell me I need to "broaden my horizons." But why, when as an anime fan I can always find a friend, wherever I go? I've tried to explain the excitement of it to them before, but it's not working. Sometimes they listen to me talk about the most advanced of plots, but they refuse to look at it as anything besides cartoons. They think all anime are the same, regardless of how much I say they are different, because, to them, a cartoon is a cartoon. -___- And I've tried to describe the difference between the words "avatar" and "anime" about 50 million times. "Anime is a genre, avatar is a show. Some consider avatar anime but technically it's not." But of course, when they say the words, they use them interchangably. Any anime I am watching can be "avatar" and I go to "Avatar club" at school So what did I expect, I asked for the Avatar calendar for Chanukah and I got the Naruto one. Close enough I suppose

I don't watch much anime other than Naruto, but my mom doesn't like it. She thinks I'm goofy because I watch it. She also said that the charectors were the ugliest things she's ever seen.
My dad could really care less.

^ Your mom sounds like a basher. My parents just say the characters look goofy because of their gravity defying hair, not to mention the weird colors. Then again, my mom thinks that Bratz dolls are pretty compared to Pokemon creatures. 0_0

My mom says the contrary. She says that guys in anime and video games look eerily gorgeous. By "eerily", she means effeminate.
And whoa! She just watched another eppie of Kenshin with me! She even asked about one the characters. Here's how it went: "That guy just stabbed himself. ...Why?" "He's nuts, mom." "Ehh!"
At least she got somewhere.
