One of my greatest regrets is buying the first volume of Spice and Wolf. At the time, its cover art was that of a shadowy woman so I went ahead and bought it thinking I could pass it off as some random book I bought. Instead I got the version with Holo on the cover and illustrations of ***** Holo on the inside cover. I tried hiding it when I got home from college but when I came back after the semester finished the bag the book was in was sitting right on top of my desk. I seriously hope my parents didn't look inside...

I don't discuss anime outside of the internet and I deny knowledge of it in real life but that book is the smoking gun.

"Dammit, my son is a weeb!"

I've kind of gotten past the point of denying it in real life. I don't openly discuss it with random people nor mention it unprovoked, though I'm not ashamed of myself for liking it anymore. My room is plastered with anime posters, got shelves filled with BDs/DVDs, figures, and other stuff. So anybody who walks inside would see it all.

I'm guessing you're a herbivore?
personally I keep it hidden from view regardless of who it is... "All men are jealous and stupid, and all women are stupid to be happy about it, idiots are everywhere you look…"

Why would you be ashamed of it in the first place?

Because I don't want to be associated with the general fanbase and be perceived as a weirdo. Although I believe we're starting to break away from that stereotype as anime is becoming ever more mainstream. Just like how video games used to be only for nerds, now nobody really bats an eye at it.

let's just say that where I'm from anime = cartoon = for kids, it's full of moral guardians puking out who knows what else all day long... "All men are jealous and stupid, and all women are stupid to be happy about it, idiots are everywhere you look…"

Isn't that the case with pretty much everywhere though?

I'm long over the whole 'shame' of anime that I had back when I was getting into it at around 14. It used to be really hard for me to take manga up to the counter at the book store and I just about died of shame tripping over the Japanese names of this or that when I was asking after some series at the local JB-Hifi. I guess it's just a thing you get used to. My mother still thinks of anime as 'those violent, dirty cartoons', but she doesn't worry to much that I display it all loud and proud in a book case in my study.

Well, most if it. I'm not so far down the rabbit hole that I'm willing to put ALL of my anime-related stuff on open display. There will come a day when somebody decides to flip through my collection of artbooks that's om the bottom tier, and that will be awkward enough, but the things in cardboard box in the closet are somewhat beyond that in terms of bad taste. Stuff like hentai and dakimakura covers and stuff that I've never actually bought on their own, all of it came as extras in VN's and Japanese magazines (which I bought for a specific extra) and the like, but I couldn't see the sense in getting rid of it all...

Subject of the box of shame, it'll probably be getting some new residents soon. Been looking at the Angel Beats VN on Sofmap (it's up for pre-order) and becasue I'm me I'm basically obliged to get the first press edition. Some of those extra's though...


In a largely unrelated story though, F&%# this season...

Maybe I've just been at this to long, I dunno, but I made up my mind that i was going to watch more anime this season, including the trashy light novel adaptations (3 of which sound almost exactly the same) but I just cant do it. I'm at this point where I can be like 'guy falls into b00bs in 3...2...1...' and it'll happen right on que, then I'll roll my eyes, sigh, and realize that I've gotten old without my noticing...

it's a lot worse when you have bible thumping fundy loons running around...

you can always rewatch the classics, you're already sick and tired of ecchi and harem series and there isn't really anything worth watching right now. You'll have to wait till spring season for anything good... "All men are jealous and stupid, and all women are stupid to be happy about it, idiots are everywhere you look…"
