Yes, I consider anime and anime music video making a hobby in general.
Now, the question. Do you hide your hobby? I mean, do you put away the anime collection or the plushies or the desktop wallpaper when people/family come over?
Personally, I have a dual philosophy on this one. It's generall not in the best interests of me as a college student to have tohru honda on my desktop, holding a cat and a rat on display in the library. So I usually have a separate account for college/home. I definitly haul all my anime stuff locked up in my closet whenever relatives come over. This is for two reasons. For one, I get laughed at for like "Pokemon" when the poster is obviously Kino's Journey. For two, my cousin got out my DVD collection, looked at the "pretty pictures" and then got up, but accidentally stepped on my Ah! My Godess discs. Thus, it's not only just for the desire to not have an akward conversation, but also to protect them as well.
It's also because of the fact that I HATE the stupid questoins. "Why are you watching cartoons? You're 18!" "Do you have to "catch em all" in this one too?"
I'm having a lot of pokemon references if you haven't noticed. That's because everybody in my poe-dunk little town in arkansas only know Pokemon as a Japanese anime, and some really intelligent people know about Naruto. Believe it?
So I now ask you!
Do you hide your hobby? If so, explain why.
