Doesnt bother me majority of those people have never read nor seen a anime in their life they are only assuming. If they continue to bother me i just call them ignorant or say a few words in Japanese they have no clue what im saying they assume im saying bad about them when im really just something mute like "i like to go to the park" lol they get pissed and leave. I have been watching anime since the 80's that kind of crap doesn't bother me anymore

It only bothers me if they refer to all anime/manga as kid stuff. Some anime/manga IS for kids, but adults are welcome to read it. However, some anime and manga is very inapproriate for children and geared towards older teens and adults. For that reason alone, I sincerely hope that it is not adults referring to anime/manga as stuff for kids.

Reminds me of the time my chiropracter told me his gf's 10 year old song watched Death Note...

Most adults of today do this anime is for kids because it looks and appears the same as cartoons, and therefore, they find their kids watching it. Now, my chiropracter probably thinks Death Note is a kids show because this boy was watching it, but will never know how wrong he is...

...of course, neither will the boy. He probably watches it only because it LOOKS like a Saturday morning cartoon (also reminds me of young Avatar fans. They block out the emotional stress and plot twists and turns, and see only comedy and humor)

Here's something for those playing the home game:

Anime:cartoons::manga:comics.

A roomate of mine is a diehard fan of the shows on the Disney channel, intended for young kids. I think it's rather childish, but at the same time, I watch anime.

There are some anime series out there intended for adults (Deathnote), while others are specifically intended for a younger audience.

But besides all that, who really cares what other people think of your hobbies?

but I honestly don't care. A lot of the people that rag on you are probably in the closet fans anyway just scared to say something...

Only in cases like the one you described. Like someone watching Spongebob who still thinks Naruto is for babybits. Usually, if someone rags on a hobby, it's because they really don't understand why or how you're into it.

Most of these people are also heavy drinkers. But hey, who's counting the shots?

What really angers me is the fact that mom says it's all the same and that it's crepy and it's going to brainwash me. But, if someone thinks it's baby stuff then they obviously don't look at the ratings. I hardly ever find any that aren't at least 13+. Oh, yeah, I'd definitely let a three year old read Naruto. No! I'm not even letting the child who has proclaied me her hero and role model know too much. I mean, most parents try and keep children from it. I don't think it's too much for maybe an 11 year old (I was eleven when I started reading it) but baby/kid stuff? No. I'm just using Naruto as an example because it's my favorite. Wow...I didn't expect to rant that much. Whatever. I have pretty strong opinions.

i totally agree with Sinestra, its no big deal what peepz think and who cares what they say because they don't understand why or how u got into manga and anime. and its like ThirdSight said, who cares what ppl think of your hobbies ne way? everyone has some emberrassing thing about them. however i dont consider anime emberrassing ;') all of my friends know that about me. u like what u like and that makes u u, so what can u do ;p
