Sakura 717 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 post Share on other sites
Zila 524 Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 (edited) Not too many. Around the time I started watching anime it was a rarity to find others that knew what it was in my area. It was difficult to find anyone that had seen anime that predated shows like Sailor Moon or DBZ. I was stuck discussing DBZ and Pokemon most of the times. Later, when we grew apart beyond school, I probably had one or two people at work that talked about anime. I have siblings but they never really got into it. Funny enough, when my mother was recovering from surgery at my place, she popped in a few Studio Ghibli films and was hooked. Kiki's Delivery Service, Howl's Moving Castle and Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind are her favorites. Recently she saw A Silent Voice and Carole & Tuesday. Edited June 26, 2020 by Zila 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄ƷNeoNƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ 29 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.... 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Nyxnine 225 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. Link to post Share on other sites

My uncle likes anime.... I'm sorry, Neon. I've no doubt you'll find others that share your passion.  It takes time to find the right people to be intimate with and it's not always a smooth and easy journey. Always be true to yourself!  1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

RuthisianCodex 766 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 post Share on other sites
Sauron 85 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 post Share on other sites
EnviousEnvy 384 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. Link to post Share on other sites
Argas 13 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 post Share on other sites

riceball 0 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 post Share on other sites

For me both my parents are animators so they like animes wwith good quality animations or just a different art style... tho yeah some ppl still think i watch kids tv shows Link to post Share on other sites
OldAnimeFan 6 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 post Share on other sites

OldAnimeFan 6 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 post Share on other sites
Sauron 85 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 post Share on other sites

Very sad, i have to say, it's such a harmless hobby. Link to post Share on other sites
