I used to have a similar problem, where I was embarassed to buy certain games. This haunted me for many years, until I wanted to reserve the Klonoa: Door to Phantomile wiimake. I realized that being ashamed of what you like just because it does not fit well with society's impressions of you is a sign of insecurity. I reserved that game, and I believe I have dispelled this problem (I haven't had to test it yet). If somebody questions your style or what you, personally like, you steel your nerves and say, "You got a problem with that?"
It exists, I have way too much free time and google when people tell me to.Suiseiseki IRL said:
Anyway on topic, tell them that the DVDs remind you of your childhood and you watch them to remind you of back then, that's how I explain my DBZ dvd collection, ahhh a simpler time when I was only nine, now I'm 19 now.........but goddamn that show is still awesome.
That's the exact reason I bought the 1970-something animated version of Return of the King! Very few people survive (with their sanity fully intact) seeing a large bunch of grey toad-like things (allegedly orcs) singing a song called "where there's a whip, there's a way", punctuated between lines with a whip-crack.Judgedread said:
Damn they had some good drugs in the 70s. They musta been baked to think it was gonna be a success.
There is no need to be ashamed.
You can either try the nostalgia-route, like elricik suggested.
Or you can show them that anime is not all childish kids cartoons many people think it is. Show them something like Ghost In The Shell and afterwards ask them if they still think its for kids.
Besides, if your friends and loved-ones were to think less of you for having a bunch of anime, I'd try looking for better friends. Family will love you regardless, even though it may not look like it.
