Its just that they go nuts if I'm on a website they don't know... or they automatically...
assume I'm going to get a virus

I usually do... but thats why I'm so paranoid with what Naruto streams I watch, or sometimes if the youtube doesn't work, I wait another week until the Viz works.

Also, I'm not supposed to be on, because I have a !@#$ load of schoolwork to be doing.

Thats my problem, not theirs

As for friends, they really don't care, but I agree with them on the fullest when they say that UNS2 sucks... game became a piece of crap after the first...

UNS2 is not crap and the only person that do not hate it is my Grandpar but I dont know if he knows wat it is

I don't know what my parents would think. They think I grew out of Naruto years ago, and I'm not going to tell them otherwise because they already think I'm a weirdo hahahaha. But they always used to pronounce it Neroohto...

[Souret]

My parents find me liking anime/manga really odd but they just leave me to it anyway

It just depends on your parents.

Yeah, why not? My mom watches Naruto with me too. My dad and stepmom, however, don't understand my interest in it. They accept my interest in it and do purchase it if it's on my gift lists, but despite my healthy lifestyle they still think it breeds either nerds or geeks (I dunno the diff; apparently there is one) and is weird or childish. They've never really looked into it or any other anime I like to have clear interpretations, but at least they accept it. If you haven't already, sit them down and talk about it. Doesn't have to be long or incredibly serious either. Maybe even suggest showing them an episode or 2 if you think it'll help. That said, hope I was helpful!

Edit: I see now the original post was 3 years ago. Sorry if I'm just adding useless notifications to a question that's already been answered lol

Ahaha, oh parents...

Back in the day when I was much younger, when I first bought my "Graphic Novel". My mother flipped out saying, "It got violence in it! That is not an actual reading book!". She was like that for the first couple of years then seemed to have calmed down some. She found it rather strange. My dad, frankly, didn't seem to mind too much of it.

My mother always pronounces it "Nuu-ru-toe". No matter how many times I try to help her pronounce it properly. She always goes back and says it that way. Even sometimes, she'd say Naruto crap (or the other with a foul mouth haha).

Some years back, my cousin sat them down (he understands my liking for it) and talked to them. It was like at their time when comics was new and lots of kids liked it, and their own parents even found it weird. However, my mother didn't really care for comics and my dad just didn't like reading in general so it took them some time to understand. My cousin's parents had that little obsession with old comics so they get a little idea. Except, now in this several generations. It's with anime and manga. Same difference. ^^

Yeah, they would. I've been a fan for 5 years or so and they know what a big fan I am. They watch it with me at times.

[csluyuan]

my parents think its wierd and my mom calls it neyruutoe instead of naruto XD

[sokochan]

my mom buys Naruto manga for me sometimes, she knows that it's expensive though, so I have to buy most of it for myself, but when I do something really good at school {like get an award or something} my mom buys me a new book as a prezzie.

My mom just wants me to be happy, so I guess that she doesn't mind that I get Naruto, she's even watched some of the movies with me {not that she was paying attention to them or anytning} the only thing that I think she might disagree on is Naruko, but she knows that she wouldn't be able to stop me buying/reading Naruto anyway, so she would still let me get manga if I wanted it.

[narutogirl13]

Mine do, and they have been in the years I"ve been reading the manga, though there have been concerns that I haven't been reading any real books

[Sir Michael]

My Parents both like Naruto.

My mom, always calls Orochimaru "He-she"..

My dad even reads the Manga when it's released every week, except he can't read 628 and beyond since his HP Desktop crashed.

[Kakashi Hatake_Yamato]

My parents only know of Kakashi, Yamato, and Iruka because the see my username and see their names. And my room is decorated with some merchandise of them.
Oh yeah. Mom thinks its a waste of money for me getting a bunch of manga. My dad prolly thinks that too. But he doesn't mind.

[ObitoUchiha]

My dad: 'Get a job' 'Grow up'.

Ok, that made him sound harsh. My dad's a cool guy... 'Are there any other hobbies you'd like?' [Better]

My mom: "I'll read the books... sometime" "Maybe I'll watch some episodes" When we went to Epcot in Disneyworld, we checked out the Japan store. They had a good Naruto section, and I wanted a shirt. Right when I thought I had picked one my mom jumped and grabbed a Kakashi shirt. Heh. We both walked out with the same shirt.

Verdict: Both parents rock. My dad is more down-to-earth and such, and he's a great dad. He just doesn't exactly like the Japan stuff too much. My mom supports the Japanese stuff more. (She would watch Hamtaro when I was at school... heheh)
