Well, THAT was embarrasing...

I just try and gauge who will be around when I'm watching anime, and whether they'll tweak out about anything in that particular one. And I will shut something off at the NEAREST hint of trouble.

I'd rather just watch it later than have an embarrassing "what the hell was that" conversation.

No big deal, really, since I can always watch things later or in another room.

But see, that sort of thinking requires common sense, something I seem to lack. I can seriously be a real airhead sometimes. It's quite embarrassing. I'm not even blonde!

That's why I normally watch anime in my room, by myself, where I don't have to explain my actions to people. I also usually try to be careful about watching anything "questionable" in the living room. This time, it just kind of went wonky. -_-

I need more otaku to hang out with here at home... bah.

This takes me back to the first time I watched Perfect Blue...

And to think, i was an anime newb at this time, and it was one of the first movies i ever saw. But I continued on... 8)

Lol, that happens all the time to me. I don't really care anymore because my parents just don't care what we watch. I was about 12 when I watched Ninja Scroll, and my step-dad came in during one of the more... explicit scenes. And then he came in during some of the more twisted parts of EoE. He still thinks anime is stupid though. The only good things on TV, to him, are the History channel and war documentaries. So I had him watch Now and Then, Here and There along with some other somewhat war-related animes. But to no avail. Meh... he can remain ignorant. His loss.

Oh, I don't EVEN wanna expose my family to EoE. Before I do that, I want them to watch the series first, and that alone will probably make them question my sanity.

Since my parents live in San Antonio (5 hours away), this never happens but I still won't show them PFS.
