What do your friends think about anime??

I never really told my friends back where I used to live about it. But since I have moved I need to make new friends. I have been looking for people who do like anime, but I have been coming up short.

Too bad.

You just have to keep your eyes open Brolly, there are often subtle signs to see if someone likes anime.

For instance, one day I spotted this one girl reading a Gravatation manga, something just told me that she liked anime/manga and I was right.

Another day I saw this girl reading a Japanese dictionary. That in itself was rather iffy, although I believe it was the large Fruits basket picture she had over her notebook that gave her away.

So remember, just keep your eyes open.

Will do!

But believe me, I have been. I have talked to a couple people who at least seen more than just bits and peices of shows like DBZ, Sailor Moon, or Pokemon. But that is why I say I come up short. There really aren't many that I have found like that.

Again thanks for the advise.

Same. One close friend got me into anime. Other close friends mock me for it (all in fun, of course). *shrug*

i have a couple of anime friends only a couple like 5 or 6 (my best friend likes it kinda...only dbz and trigun...his girlfriend doesn't let him watch anime

all the rest either hate or dont care bout it. I have a few friends who will watch your guys AMV's i download or the ones i make for fun. My one firend thinks it's porn until i showed him a peisode of Trigun and he thoguht it was cool. Now he doesnt "mock" me. Though, he saw Samurai X's covering disc thing and it says 18+ so he keeps calling it my x-rated movie.

My two best friends (a girl and my boyfriend) love anime, and they're the ones who got me more deeply interested in it -- I would never have watched Cowboy Bebop if not for my boyfriend, who loves anime and Hikaru Utada, and my girl friend is always introducing me to new anime. As a matter of fact, it was she that brought me to this site.

My other friends think it's all gay, but we have other things in common.

Well as for me ... some of my friends like anime just like everyone else and when im with them, which is most of the time, we have great conversations about anime and all the stuff that is incorporated in anime, like AMV's, soundtracks, etc ... some of my other friends dont really care much about it because they havent seen any good ones, yet some think that anime is to childish for them ... but i dont care, it still like anime ...
