Sakura Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Most people at my work watch anime and I hear them discussing it pretty often, so yeah I'm around a lot of anime fans on a daily basis. My best friend and my sister are also both into anime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄ƷNeoNƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I have no friends at least not real ones only ppl I met online and occasionally talk to. My uncle likes anime.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyxnine Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I have quite a few friends and acquaintances IRL who like anime. This wasn't always the case, I think I found most of these friends late in HS, some from different jobs I have worked and also from University. It is nice to find those IRL who you can relate to and discuss upcoming shows with. That being said, most of our tastes have changed, and a lot of us have moved further apart (literally and metaphorically). IRL is nice especially if you are interested in going to conventions. We have a pretty good generic comic con here which I liked attending. I'm a huge artist alley fan and having others with you to enjoy that is always a plus.

RuthisianCodex Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 The only person I know IRL who likes anime as much as I do is one of my managers. He's the one who told me about Goblin Slayer, Attack on Titan, and Demon Slayer. And the rest, as they say, is history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauron Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I have two friends that are into anime. To say that they're obsessed with anime would be an understatement, lol. One of them strictly watches hentai 24/7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnviousEnvy Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 My fiance and 4 friends. My fiance watches anime every day and 1 of my friends does as well. I'll watch anime and pretty much play any anime game that I can find. I also have plushies, pop funko and figurines that are all anime related.

Argas Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 (edited) I have a group of friends that we meet up every year to go to our local anime convention but due to current events we had to skip it. they're practically neighbors to each other I'm the only one some distance away. In my area we're under a no travel unless its necessity order but even if that weren't the case I can't to drive. So its been over a year since I've seen them Edited July 28, 2020 by Argas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riceball Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I feel like liking anime isn't a taboo or anything bad anymore so having people around you who at least occasionally watch anime isn't that rare. Or maybe that is just my experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldAnimeFan Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 No, need friends for that to happen lol. However, the people that I use to hangout with at an anime club kind of stopped watching it. It’s kind of sad. I know some are embarrassed about liking anime since newer anime fans put the whole fandom in a poor light. Even if they liked anime, they forced themselves to stop it because of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldAnimeFan Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Yeah, it still would be nice to have someone who like anime irl. The only people around here who like it are teens. It sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauron Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 (edited) I'm just gettin into it. It's hard to find an anime community that's consistently active. It's a shame...... Edited July 31, 2020 by Sauron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very sad, i have to say, it's such a harmless hobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spätixD Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I feel so lonely reading this thread I have had one friend who absolutely adored ramance and shojo anime and for me it's just...meh. I'm more an action type. The same is with my sister, she watches anime but only the kind I'm not interested in. So, yeah, I'm basically a lone wolf /:P I often spam my dear non-anime-watcher friends, but they simply get bored and it's obviously not quite as fun as talking to ppl who know what I'm talking about or referring to,, yeah life is tough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvaUnit69 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I was the president for the anime club back in high school, and a lot of people from there still talk with me but life catches up to us all and it has been hard getting together to do otaku things. Usually meet a lot of people at cons but not very many actually care to stay in touch tho the few that do I have a lot of fun with doing non-otaku things which is weird. I honestly cannot wait for cons to start running again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
