I am 17 and I'm a huge anime fan.?!


Question: I am 17 and I'm a huge anime fan!.!?
There is just one problem!. My parents think that I'm seventeed I'm too old to watch and love it!. Their theory about anime is "If it's animated it's for little kids" and also because i'm latino, my parents think I should be like those hip hop lovig girls!. also I'm stereo typed at school for being an anime fan!. People always say, "My little brother whose 5 watches naruto!.!.!. you must be special ed if you like little kids stuff!.!.!. Go back to elementary school" What should I do!? What should I say!? What do you think of people who say anime is for little kids!?Www@Enter-QA@Com


Answers:
Tell them if anime is for little kids than why is there anime that is purely porn!?

The facts are that in America, animation usually means kids!. But in Japan (where these come from) it is not the case at all!.

also, if they think naruto is for kids, go to onemanga and find the chapters where Jiraiya gets his arm ripped off, where Naruto transforms into naked women, and where Konohamaru transforms into two naked women pressing their breasts together!.

Most people that think that way are what you would call "narrow minded!." They won't probably ever change their minds, so don't worry about it!. Be yourself!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

This is going to sound slightly nerdy, but the thing of it is, not all anime are just like regular cartoons and stuff you find on Saturday morning, because some of it actually deals with psychological and mature (and I don't mean mature like ecchi) topics!. It also helps to inform about other people's language and culture (mainly if you watch with subs)!. I'm lucky because I can escape lots of the stereo types when it comes to anime because I am japanese (well fine, maybe I'm just half Japanese-- happa), but I still get made fun of sometimes too!. Although anime is fun, it is also "informative" and much more sophisticated than regular Saturday morning cartoons!. Besides, there are other ones that are better than Naruto, right!? It sucks that you're being made fun of, but I don't know what else to say!. ^_^Www@Enter-QA@Com

I am 19 and hispanic as well, and I am going through the same thing that you are!. The truth is the kids at your school and your parents are ignorant!. They are talking about something they don't know anything about!. Just because they are feeling insecure and awkward they try and pick at other people to make themselves feel better!. As for your parents, I am sure they must be very nice people, but you need to explain to them that anime is something that you enjoy!. And just because it is animated does mean that it is for little kids!. it is just a part of a different culture where it is okay for someone who is 50 to watch a cartoon and have just a grand ol' time with no one saying crap about it!. And the kids at school don't know anything!. Just remember "hurt people hurt people"!. I hope this helps you!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Keep watchin all the amine that you want!. I think that people who say anime is for kids don't understand what it is and people (in society) reject what they don't understand!. It ok to like something others don't like!. Everyone is different meaning everyone has different interest!. I get teased everyday not only by my parents but also my brothers, sisters, a few of my friends, and even at school!.
also if people keep teasing you ignore them eventually they will find someone else to mess with or use my approach first find you some anime loving friends, they're eveywhere all you have to do is look!. Remember you are not the only person in the world who loves anime!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Actually all anime is not for kids!. They even have porn in anime form! I think it's kinda silly and you really shouldn't answer to it!. Obviously they no nothing about it and just sound plain ignorant!. It also depends on what anime your looking at, (like Pokemon, Digimon, ext!.) that can also be said to be a kids show!. But other than that, alot of anime is not for kids, especially those that show boobs, girls underwear, sex, drugs, blood, curse language, guts and drinking!.

I'm 15, but I still watch anime, and so do these two boys I know and there 16 and 21!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Kishimoto is is the creator of naruto & the anime 'was' actually meant for older people (not kids!.!.but not anymore) well my hint of advice is to ignore 'all' them !.!.
people are so ignorant now a days !.!.!.im actually 18 (a year older than you) & I watch naruto , I'm updated with everything, and I'm pretty obsessed with it !.!.!.!.but no one teases me about it !.!.
(*cuz everyone knows I have ZERO tolerance for that kind of issh)
you should stand UP for your self love?Www@Enter-QA@Com

Maybe you should show them Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni (Make them watch at least the first 4 episodes) or Cat Soup or something equally mindf*cking!. (Actually, that might not be such a good idea!.!.!.)
Anime is definitely not just for little kids!.
Ignore the people that think it is!. They have no idea what they're talking about!.

EDIT:
And you could point out to them that Family Guy and similar shows are also animated!.!. and those aren't aimed at children!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Because there are lot of shows like Pokemon which is anime that are For little kids so the people who say that to you they must think you watch something like that!.
PFFT at least the person brother has a good taste in anime!.
i never really had this problem because most people were scared of me!.!. i dont know why but anyway!. Just dont pay attention to them im sure there are other people in your school that like anime!. I think its weird that your parent think you should be a hip hop girl because your lation!. Anime is aiming for teenages!. just keep watching!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Thats sad that everyone teases u about liking anime, whare i live no one teases me so it's deffinetly not as bad!.!.!. Have u tried hanging out with othere people who also like anime!? I know it feels good when I talk about anime with other people!. I just ignor the people who think that anime is for kids!. Some of my friends like it and others do, so when i feel like talking about it i just go to them!Www@Enter-QA@Com

My mom is like your parents, too, saying that it's for little kids!.
It's not for little kids, since some anime are ecchi!.
The kids at my school don't really care though,
but I think people who say anime is for little kids are bullsht!. xP
You should just be proud of yourself and say stuff like,
"Yea, I love anime, so what!? What are you gonna do about it!?"Www@Enter-QA@Com

Many animes out their are way to mature for little kids to understand or be interested in!. Death Note for example is an anime a ten year old would most likely not appreciate!. Your parents need to understand that animes are made for all different age groups and are very different from american animations like Dora and Sponge Bob *chuckles*!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Hold your integrity!. People have made fun of me for so many things and quite frankly, if a lot of people make fun of you, just keep your interests within your group of close friends!. I'll tell ya, the people at my school who like anime you would never be able to tell; They are quite normal people!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

dude im 17 and we have anime clubs all around schools!. its normal!. and actuall anime is enjoyed by many adults around the world still!. anime is now becoming more and more popular in america recently so alot of ppl think its is childish but w8 and see in a good couple of years ull see alot more anime in american televisonsWww@Enter-QA@Com

They aren't well informed i'm 19 and i still love anime!. if thats what they think tell them to watch Akira, it's one of the most violent anime i know of and i'm sure there 5yr old brother wouldn't be watching that!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

not cartoon so its not reallyfor kids!.My parents
dont care!.If your parents says
something just igonore them!.Thats what
I would doWww@Enter-QA@Com

Tell your parents that that anime is your anti-drug!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

17-year-old anime lover here, and I don't plan on "growing out of it" anytime soon!. ;)Www@Enter-QA@Com

Hell I'm 26 and love animeWww@Enter-QA@Com

anime isnt for little kids!. My 30 year old cuzin watches it with his 30 year old twin brother and they both have wifes and chidren, and i watch it!. So why do old people watch soap opera`s!? arent they alittle to old to be watching crap about a guy who cheats on two girls and run away to the other country blah blah blah!.!.!.My point is that you could watch anime at any age:)Www@Enter-QA@Com

Well sad to say that will probably happen a lot!. For your parents just tell them there are many many people older then you are that LOVE anime, for example me!. :) I'm 23 almost 24 and plan on always loving anime! For the people at school just keep telling yourself you won't be with them forever!. also just tell them to back off it's not like you say anything about what they like or do!. Everyone has different interest!. Besides at least you have here to come on to, where there is lots of people who love anime and manga and will welcome you!! :) Trust me I know how you feel, no one at my school like anime and always looked at me weird and said stuff too!. Hope I helpled some!. :)Www@Enter-QA@Com

well it is for little kids!.!.!.
find a different hobbie!.!.!.
this one will only lead to humiliation!.
im sorry to say it but you are to old for animeWww@Enter-QA@Com
