Only anime your dad will watch

[BasharOfTheAges]

I showed my parents "daydream" when they wanted to know what it was I spent a year making and won an award with. I had to explain the animation, what Azumanga Daioh was and was about, what Yotsuba was and that the two works were by the same author. My dad got all red faced and was apparently embarrased to be watching it. He said he liked it and that it was "pretty silly." Mom thought it was cute and that "I certainly like the ladies."

But, and this is the important question, did you let them know that you're a big deal on the internet?

My dad has watched some anime before like Saint Seiya and Dragonball Z. He would most likely watch anything actiony. My mom on the other hand doesnt like it that much and wont get anywhere near it.

My dad won't set foot near anime. He talks about it in a joking manner, but he's still willing to buy me a DVD or two (as long as I pay him back.)
I don't think the anime I have will interest my Dad at all. I know he likes explosions and gun fights, but I can't really show him an anime that has an excessive amount of gore in it, otherwise he'll start questioning what I'm watching. xD; He doesn't like outlandish plots, so Eureka seveN is out of the question.
Trigun might work, but it might be too much comedy. Eeergh, my Dad is so picky. >> Anyone have any suggestions?

Big O!! lol my mom would be amiss without Miyazaki. She discovered it before I did! But it's the only anime she'd watch. She's just a Disney fan and Miyazaki is Walt Disney to the Japanese so she relates (and Disney introduced it to her by localizing Mononoke, Spirited Away and all...). I can only see bad things coming out of this :/

Big O is way too over-the-top.

Easy question for me. I AM the dad.

Yeah at 48 years old, I am the dad, and it's MY damned anime.

My son is ok with anime, hardly a shock there, he's a teen. He's 15. No idea if he will suddenly switch off it when he gets in his 20s or not.

But he at least doesn't need to fret over what I think of it. It's my Haruhi cloth wall scroll eh.

My dad watched Astro Boy on TV as a kid when it aired for the first time so he does have a somewhat old school anime background...I guess. Both my parents don't really mind me watching anime because they know not all animes are kiddy nonsense, they are quite aware of the really mature stuff. My mum could watch animes with ease since shes fluent with Japanese but my dad on the other hand would have a hard time, being unable to read subtitles fast enough or misunderstanding exactly what each sentence meant. My parents liked Death Note so I guess anything similar to that would work well for them, though they're into live action stuff a lot more and go to the cinemas frequently.

None of my family are interested in anime. My little brother was crazy about Pokemon when he was younger and he found Azumanga Daioh pretty funny, but he dosen't even know it's anime. They just kinda see it as 'another silly cartoon series'
I haven't even told anyone in real life I make AMVs and go on this site, because nobody would have a clue what I was talking about...

Looks like Death Note was made for family's...
