Anime Question

What Should I Do?

My mom doesn't like me watching anime. The reason she doesn't like me watching it is because it shows children that violence and sex is okay to do. I tried explaining to her that all anime isn't like that. Also I do buy anime merchandise. On the outside my mom seems okay with it, but on the inside I know she doesn't approve. I started watching anime when she isn't home and late at night when she is sleeping. Is there a way I can make her approve me watching it or should I just continue with what I am doing?

My mom is the same way when it comes to family guy and south park she doesn't approve and in my experience there's no convincing your parents other wise so if I were you Id keep on keeping on. Good luck. Hopefully one day you'll convince her.

Go show her Usagi Drop. No violence, no sex, no nudity, no magic, no anything. Then that will let her know that not all anime is like that. No dub though, but I'm sure she won't mind. If she does mind though, go show her Five Centimeters Per Second. It has a dub.

Mom knows I like anime, and she is disturbed by it as well. She thinks every anime is like Inuyasha, when I watch anime that's nothing like that.

I feel your pain, yo!

I agree with KissKissHannah. Except that my mother accepts me watching anime.

Explain to her that there is as much variety and as many genres as television shows or cartoons over here. Perhaps have her watch some episodes from childish or cute series, like Shugo Chara or Acchi Kocchi!

its really none of her business what kind of entertainment you enjoy. it's not hurting anyone and the morals in a lot of anime are fine, so it really shouldnt be a problem. also to add to that, sex is okay to do??? i mean as long as youre legal age i dont ??

as for the rest, shes underestimating the intellegence of children. a child wont burn a building just because they saw it on tv. just as a child wont murder someone when they stomp on a goomba in a mario game. children may actually be LESS likely to be follow the things they say than teenagers because they havent grown enough to realise that not all humans are nice people. theyd probably feel MORE guilty if they hurt someone.

idk what you can do though. maybe just ask her why she cares so much???
