Welcome to Gaia! ::

My parents have always just regarded all anime as cartoons, so whether I was watching Teen Titans or SlayerS, it was all the same to them. Maybe it's because they're Asian? They're pretty indifferent towards it, but sometimes my dad will sit down and watch with me if he's bored.

I started watching anime kind of late into my youth, but I usually watched any DVDs/Crunchyroll/Hulu videos on my computer, so my parents really didn't have any say in what I was allowed to watch in anime.

However, they do tune me out whenever I talk about it. It's like I'm speaking a completely different language or something.

My folks never really cared about it as long as I was happy. When I made a cosplay for the first time, my mom didn't mind me using the sewing machine and even taught me how to use it. When they draw the line is when the blood shows up on the tv screen. They don't think I should be watching that kind of shows even though I'm already a legal adult. That's why I watch anime in my room.

Since I'm 21 now my parent's really don't have a say of what I can and can not read or watch.

When I was little I would watch Pokemon with my brother and I would try to catch Sailor Moon and Cardcaptors when it was on. It wasn't until I was 13 when I really started getting into animes and mangas. (Mostly mangas) My dad didn't really care, but mangas sort of confused my mom. She would ask how it was read and I would explain it to her. I think a part of her was worried about what kinds of mangas I was reading. I know she wouldn't let me buy Absolute Boyfriend because she saw a naked guy on the cover. I would be lying if I said that I didn't read some mangas for the hot guys, (Especially yaoi) but I just wanted to read Absolute Boyfriend because it was funny. One time I even asked my grandma if this one library had mangas and she replied, "Oh, no, this library has books for adults." She doesn't know that most mangas can be pretty, "adult."
