They dont really care. My dad doesnt get it, but the one time he asked why I watched it I ran through some of his music and video collection and he let it slide. It was that or when I reminded him that when I was ill and the only thing on t.v. at 4 in the morning was power rangers he would put in another set of headphones(Hes over 50).

my dad starts watching anime with me sometimes, like naruto, and he thinks that its stupid. I don't let him watch Full metal alchemist and Rurouni Kenshin, because he's not mature enough. he acts like a 5 yr old. my mom says I behave better than him. oh well. my mom makes fun of manga and anime(hence, moronie kenshin.... ouch it hurts.....)
but that doesn't mean that i'm not a huge fan, i just usually watch anime while their doing something else.....

I think my dad was actually the one who got me into anime. O_o Heh heh... He doesn't watch it all that often, but he's definitely very intrigued by it--'specially Ghost in the Shell, actually. He really wanted to see "Innocence", so he rented it and we both watched it together--He even watched the first few episodes of the SAC series. He's really into Miyazaki's stuff and some of Otomo's stuff too. (He introduced me to My Neighbor Totoro! 
My first anime! Or maybe it was Superbook...I forget which. ^ ^;; )

i dont think my parents actually even know that im obsessed with anime. since most of it is on at night and by that time they are usually in bed and all. i guess the subject never really comes up. only on the occasion when they think im talking about a cartoon. like when i bought the fruba box set. they asked me why i was wasting my money on a cartoon. lol

My dad actually enjoys anime. I think I've gotten him addicted to Ghost in the Shell: sac. he loves steamboy and Final Fantasy 7 Advent Children. He also likes all of Myazaki's films and some of Oshii's. Of course my dad is the guy that still likes to read comics. My mom doesn't really care same with the rest of my family.

My parents dont like it all too much, but they actually introduced me to my 1st anime (My Neighbor Totoro). I bought Trigun on DVD, and they decided to check it out. I was on episode 1 and there was cursing and the like, and they said "this is like an adult cartoon" then left the room confused as to why I like it.
I dont really buy the DVD's anymore, since my parents signed up for Netflix, and they THOROUGHLY scan all anime that I stick in the queue. I really dont care though, cuz all I am watching through Netflix is Eureka Seven and all the Gundams, and those are OK with my parents.

Indifferent to say the least. It's not that they don't care but I think they trust me with my choices and besides, I think they'd rather have their daughter indulging into those comics/cartoons than drug-pushing, getting drunk, gangsterizing and prostituting.

yeah. my dad used to read old superhero comic books as a kid so he kinda knows some of the stuff i'm reading. at least more than my mom. however, i don't have any animes that i think would interest them. most of mine are mainly action and stuff. i do believe the my dad might be interested in 20th Century Boys and Monster since he's sorta into those mystery/thriller/suspense (but not horror) tv shows and movies. he really likes movies involving cops and the csi and stuff. and i believe that 20th Century Boys and Monster have some relations to the book of Revalations. IMO. my mom. no. she wouldn't be into any of the animes or mangas i read.

My mum has that, "Its that thing my son likes to do..." attitudes. She never gets into anime as she can never seem to understands the sort of 'open ended and draw your own conclusions' type endings that Japanese works often had.
We sat and watched Spirited Away together once and she asked questions ALL the wat through and at the end she still didn't get it... bless her.
Anyway, yeh. She justs leaves me to me and trusts me own judgement which is nice and all.

My dad can't get past their big eyes and small noses. He calls digimon "digiman". It's a great inside joke inside our family, lol. The first time I watched the first Inuyasha movie, he goes "Did that cartoon just cuss?" So me and my sibling said "Mom lets us watch it" really fast. Lol. But he did watch some of Advent Children with us.
Mom.... hates it and likes it. She liked Howl's Moving Castle and Grave of the Fireflies. She hates Inuyasha but lets me watch it. Needless to say, I don't expose her to much anime, lol.

My mother absolutely hates anime, though in reality she doesn't know a whole lot about it. She's one of the 'anime is evil/porn/etc. crowd. I haven't lived with my mother for a long time though, so I haven't had to deal with it too much. She used to get on my case about it a lot.
I was recovering from surgery at my mother's place, and I was basically confined to a chair, so I had my brother put my PC in front of the chair so I could at least chat with people. I ended up watching all of Aishiteruze Baby right there in my mother's living room, but to be honest, I was watching it mostly because I wanted to see how she would respond. The end result was that my step-dad actually watched about half an episode, shrugged and walked away (he's always been rather indifferent, admitting that he doesn't know a whole lot about anime). Ever since then, my mother has eased off my case a little bit, but it's still very obvious to me that her mind hasn't changed much.
Both my mom and step-dad are pretty anti-TV in general though.
My dad and step-mother simply don't care. Occasionally they'll sit and watch, but the only thing I've ever really gotten a response to was when I watched Nausicaa, and my dad remembered it from when it was Warriors of the Wind back in the 80's (it was editted back then, I think).

My parents think I watch FAR too much for my age. I would watch anime ever since I was 5! Like medabots, Dragonball, digimon, pokemon, TF R.I.D, etc. I would barely watch any american cartoons. My mom accepts, but my dad wants me to stop and watch older shows for my age. But I don't like the news because the news scares me.

My mom used to get mad that I watched "chinese cartoons" as she called them, but recently she's become more indifferent. I think since I got my little sister to like some Studio Ghibli movies (The Cat Returns and Spirited Away) she realized that it wasn't bad. Also, recently she's begun to watch the disney channel (things like Hannah Montana and the Suite Life of Zach and Cody) so she realizes that even if some of the things I watch are aimed at younger kids that they're not too immature, they're just cleaner. (I mostly watch less serious anime like Ojamajo Doremi and Digimon and Studio Ghibli stuff)
She still doesnt like it when I buy manga though.

My mom doesnt like anime and manga that much. She thinks a lot of it is sexual and violent. My dad doesn't really mind so much. He just doesn't want me to cross the line and buy hentai. My dad is not into anime or manga anyway.

my parents aren't that worried about it as long as i show some maturity in what i read. there are some more explicit mangas that i read but i know someone who collects and reads many mangas and he edits them for me. it's sorta annoying when my mom's talking with her friends and she always says, "are your kids into anime (pronounced animee) and manga (pronounced mane-ga)?" so it's sorta irritating because i have to keep reminding her that it's pronounced the other way.

It seems I'm one of the few people whose parents don't particularly know about anime's "darker side". XD Well, not until recently, anyways. For the most part, my parents view anime as "that Pokemon show" or "that Dragonball Z show that you and your brother used to watch". 'Course, that was only until my RightStuf catalog came in the mail. My mom found it first, and one of the first things she saw was the separated adult section. XD I had to hastily explain myself out of that one, and had to trash it even more quickly. XD After flipping through the magazine a bit more, she realized that there were some "darker" anime out there, and she said, "Wow, I didn't know some of this stuff was so dark." It pretty much ended there, though. She still trusts me, in other words, thank goodness. XD

My family's just not real big on cartoonish stuff in general. I really like Digimon and Monster Rancher when they were around. My brother kinda likes the mangas that i get (mostly Naruto and OnePiece) and he likes to watch cartoons with me. but i think he enjoys them more for the general intertainment of them than actually loving cartoons.
One thing that really helped my parents feel a little more at ease about them was when i took the time to show them the way that Anime and Mangas were their own league of comics/cartoons and were different than your average cartoon. They know that I love to draw and that the whole style of Japanese art kindof intrigued me. It's not been the easiest thing in the world to get the to lighten up about this kind of stuff though. They were reeeaaallly wary of the spiritual influences (hidden and obvious) that are in them. and for good reason i suppose

I was worried my parents would think the same thing. Since of the war atrocities that Japan committed in WWII to most other east-asian countries. Till to this day, you ask a native korean what they think about japan, they'll usually slander japan.

On the contrary, they pray in order that they may arouse themselves to seek Him, that they may exercise their faith in meditating on His promises, that they may relieve themselves from their anxieties by pouring them into His bosom; in a word, that they may declare that from Him alone they hope and expect, both for themselves and for others, all good things."
- Martin Luther
"I have to tell you first that I am ready to die. I have put my affairs in order. Your supreme weapon is killing. My supreme weapon is dying, because when you kill me, people all over Romania will read my books and believe on the God that I preach - even more than they do now."
- Dr. Joseph Ton, the exiled Romanian pastor (quoted by James Montgomery Boice)
"The best prayer I ever prayed had enough sin in it to condemn the whole world."

"Sometimes we don't present the Gospel well enough for the non-elect to reject it."

"In the total expanse of the human life, there is not a single square inch of which Christ, who alone is sovereign, does not declare, 'That is mine'."

"God the great Creator of all things doth uphold, direct, dispose, and govern all creatures, actions, and things, from the greatest even to the least, by His most wise and holy providence, according to His infallible foreknowledge and the free and immutable counsel of His own will, to the praise of the glory of His wisdom, power, justice, goodness, and mercy."
- Westminister Confession of Faith (Chapter 5, Section 1)
"The wisdom of God has found a way for the love of God to deliver sinners from the wrath of God all the while upholding the righteousness of God!!"
- John Piper
"Grace is the pleasure of God to magnify the worth of God by giving sinners the right and power to delight in God without obscuring the glory of God!"
-John Piper
"The very One from Whom we need to be saved, is the One Who has saved us."
- R.C. Sproul
"All of Christian life is ceaseless worship of God the Father, through the mediatorship of God the Son, by the indwelling power of God the Spirit, doing what God commands in Scripture, not doing what God forbids in Scripture, in culturally contextualized ways, for the furtherance of the Gospel, when both gathered for adoration, and scattered for action, in joyous response to God's glorious grace."

My mom calls it "that Japanese. . . stuff."
My dad doesn't like it at all, but he looks at it like (almost) all the other stuff I do. . . a waste of time.

My parents are very critical of it. My dad when I first looking into it (like WAY before I actually got into it) he actually thought it was only animated porn. It took me a while before I convinced him (actually until I had a friend over who was able to explain it better then me). The first anime I ever watched was Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex when I was at my Grandma's. I didn't actually know that it was anime was at the time but it had action and it was animated so it got my attention. Anyways, about 3-years-ago I watched an episode of Fullmetal Alchemist and I got the manga one day (this was when they first started translating the manga) and I was hooked (the reason I have a soft place in my heart for FMA and why I'll always defend it). Anyways, my parents got really cynical with the anime I choose, at one early point my parents wouldn't even let me get a manga without my dad looking through it (this was with Fruits Basket after we had a little incident with a picture at the very beginning of .Hack//SIGN). So that rule isn't used anymore but they still are strict in checking the new stuff (and continuing looking at the old stuff) that I want to get.
