Question

What is the extent that your peers and or family members know about your anime consumption? For me I completely hide it and never reference nor talk about the subject even if it comes up.

>I completely hide it and never reference nor talk about the subject even if it comes up.
I'm just like you, OP. Whenever I see a grooup of otakus talking about it I think it's extremely cringe.

People know I study Japanese, and some family members know I have some manga in Japanese that I use as reading practice. Actually had a relative give me some as a gift this Christmas, which was a weird surprise because I'd barely mentioned it to him and he said he didn't really know what the hell manga was and was afraid he accidentlaly bought porn (he didn't).

But other than that I don't bring up watching anime and I'm not sure they know I watch it, although I guess they could easily assume. I don't bring it up with peers etc. unless it's obvious they're also into it, but since it's somewhat mainstream I've spoken about it more with them than with my family.

They kniow I watch it/read it/have some physical mangas but it's REALLY not something we ever talk about because my family is super "normalfag" and I never act like a weeb around them anyways.

Basically this but since I spend too much time on the PC I only mention to my family that I occasionally watch some morally acceptable anime like detective conan and one piece since I don’t want to look suspicious.

I live at home. I just started buying more and more anime that started filling up more of my shelf, have hundreds now. Several figures. Some wall art. Never spoke a word of it, just didn't care.

Then every time I'd get some new cheesy wall art (I have two fabric posters of Isekai Maou and NGNL) on my wall my sister would comment "that's so cool!"

I have H blu rays, Yosuga no Sora, Seikon no Qwaser, etc, on my shelf. I have a half nude TLR figure out. I know they see this cause they referenced my "x rated anime" one time. Mom doesn't give a shit, instead tries to buy me anime related gifts for birthdays and stuff.

I always have some anime image as my phone lock screen and wall paper, usually a big breasted girl in underwear. I know my mom has seen these, doesn't care. Coworkers have seen this, don't care, instead ask me more about anime.

Nobody cares granted you are an otherwise clean attractive person and at least pretend to be a productive member of society and act like it's nothing. Still it's not something I usually bring up on my own though, people just see it.

I've mentioned that I watch anime when my crush would ask about what I watch.
She's said she wished there was anime she could get into so she could watch it with me.
(this isn't the green flag that it sounds like due to reasons)(also I still blew it)

Asides from that, I can talk to my older sister about series like Hellsing and Cardcaptors, she was into Cells at Work and Dragonmaid for a while, etc. And my best friend is into an eclectic variety of things and we watch stuff together sometimes.

My buddies are generally on the same page as me. As for my family, they know I'm into it but that's about as far as it goes. They have no interest outside maybe miyazaki stuff so I'd just as soon not bore them with it. I've never been one to hide my hobbies or interests but I don't especially flaunt them either.

My family knows I watch anime and read manga, but not to that point it comes to a much deeper conversational level. My family is just like your normalfags when it comes to that stuff.

But peers? yeah pretty much they know about it. We converse pretty much anything about anime and mangas, recommendations, theories and stuff

btw OP user, what anime is that in your picrel?

Basically this. All the convos I had about anime were started by other people when they've noticed my phone wallpaper or while I was lurking here. I don't even look like I watch anime
Parents and imouto don't care, though imouto did try to get into it when she was 14 but it didn't stuck (shame really)

I in the the closet about it until I realized my zoomer cousins are super into it and I was sperging out over nothing. Hiding your power level is fucking gay.

My family knows I watch anime and they don't care. Most people generally don't give a shit unless you're one of those guys who wear ahegao hoodies or carry a body pillow around

I pretend to like Pokemon for its gaymes but otherwise I'm just like you.
Though I did do some chuuni/weeb cringe during my teen years but I guess they think I just grown out of it.
I hid my power levels for long until one time my classmates discussed it and I sperged out but after that I've been keeping shut about it.
These days I don't watch much anime either, at least not the mainstream ones and most I consoome are romcom/harem LNs/manga or hentai so there is an additional pressure so no one discovers my tastes.

My family is aware that I watch them they just don't know how into them I am. My mom literally says "Oh are you watching those Chinese cartoons you like watching?"

The exception is my little brother and sister, they are aware of how much I like anime because I turned them onto anime because they used to watch it with me when I lived with my parents. Hell my little sister is a weeb and wants to go to anime expo but the kung flu fucked that up for her the past couple years.

In my case my first imouto is into it but my second imouto seems to hate all anime except Pokemon and Doraemon which she saw a lot during childhood.

I remember once making the ahegao face in public to mock a guy, now I want to kill myself thinking about the cringe.

They know and don't really say nothing about it.
My siblings accepted it and find it fun to get together sometimes and watch stuff. It became such a routine my younger sister called me when she moved away so we can continue watching Ousama Ranking together.

I open about watching itbecause i m not insecure about it

Only my parents and closest friends who also are otakus know the fully extent of it (conventions, cosplaying, anime and manga)
Coworkers might suspect due to my awkwardness and my vacations matching conventions weeks
