They are wrong, they just try to be "cool and funny guys". They maybe don't like anime but I bet that if they see couple of animes, they start to like them, at least little. I had same thing and I just didn't care and then they stopped to bully me about it. Actually when I showed one anime series to one of them, he started to like animes :D They don't like the things you like but you don't maybe like the things which they like.

Just remember this and you will be happy and you won't fall in lair of sadness." -I speaking to my friend who got in accident once-

Anime are SO not for geeks. Sure there ARE some who watch them, but even the non-geeks watch em too. WHoever ur friends are probably doesn't see how fun a great anime can be, but that's a matter of opinion for different people. Take my lil sis for example. She thinks anime is geeky too(not that she put it exactly dat way but she could've). But even so she'd watch it depending on the story and the artwork so anime is not just for geeks only. (didn't i just said that that already? ~_~  |

FOR GEEKS?? No, anime is for brave people. I'm pretty sure that even the toughest man on earth doesn't dare to watch hello kitty... Even i don't. I watch eva and elfen lied, but hello kitty? That takes a real courage to watch it... DEFINITELY NOT FOR GEEKS. |

Dunno. I guess most geeks luv anime. But most anime fans aren't geeks. Coz we're growing. I think the tendency is that watching anime needs extra IQ in your brain. People with high IQ has the tendency to understood things that normal people don't. And humans are affraid of what the don't understand. So, they call them geeks to suppress them and make themselves feel better for not understanding what the geeks do. Hello Kitty? Kerokerokeroppiiii!!! But Hello Kitty is so sweet!!!!

Anime isn't for geeks, it's art and better than half of the crap on tv nowadays. Everyone should be free to watch whatever kind of show they want without having people think of them a certain way. Anime is just something different, if you like to watch it and aren't going completely nuts or becoming totally obsessed with it then what's the problem? It really all depends on how much you like it. See the reason stereotypes are born, such as this one[anime is for geeks], is because ignorant people see or hear about one or two people and then automactically think that everyone is like that. It's sad to think people can be that judgemental but hey, a lot of people today are just plain stupid, sad but true.    |

If this was any way of true, then I'm one of the biggest geeks, out of the millions or billions of geeks, and I want to be one of the actually geeks to draw this geeky stuff on TV. I don't think anybody can hate anime, just not tend to watch it. I don't even think Anime and Hate, being used together can even exist.

| Uh, I think most geeks are anime "freaks", but lately, more anime fans aren't geeks, but just ordinary people. |

i'm not a geek. i didn't notice that most geeks are anime freaks. but i do notice that most people here are techy and you guys know a lot about computer stuffs. and i'm one of the very few (if there are still others like me who only knew basic html) people who's not really into this technology (though i wanted to learn). but i really love anime, especially naruto. hehe... so if techy = geek = anime freaks, where will i fit in? hahaha... dude, anime is for everybody. do not question it.  |

Does it matter what they think? What matters is what you want. If they keep making fun of you because of it, then you have three choices. 1 - ignore their insult, 2 - you don't really need friends like that, so drop them, 3 - they are much more important than enjoying anime so you drop anime.

I think a fight over being called a "geek" just for loving anime so much is...childish? It's basically pointless but my friends know I watch it, some don't know what Anime is or hardly know it, but they love me no matter what. ^_^ Anime = All Viewers! XD Note: I also agree with Jonathon's reply as well. XD

please tell me the name of those people. *pulls out a magnum sniper, loads it* it mainly depends what you do. If you sit at home all day and watch anime 24/7 and your room is filled wit stuff from anime conventions, yea... no question about it... but if you watch it once every so often, and you actually do stuff other than watch it, then your not. Everyone i know watches anime, even the white people in my school watch it, not very often though.

I don't really think you'll be a geek if you watch anime 24/7 (impossible anyways with sleep, eat, SHOWER, etc.). If you watch mostly anime on TV, then that's really not a big deal cause I mostly watch anime on TV. Like Jon said, there's really nothing else to watch on TV nowadays, but I listen to mostly anime/japanese music as well. I would just say, You're not a Geek if you're involved with Anime. That's just me anyways...
