Do you show your power level in public /a/ ?

I browse /a/ during my CS lectures.

>>116038426
Besides browsing /a/ in public, and playing Love Live SiF without headphones, no

>>116038426
It doesn't show but I'm not at all concerned with mentioning I enjoy watching anime if it comes up in conversation.

>>116038513
I read that as Counter-strike lectures. I will let myself out..

>>116038426
Fuck off with your blogshit.

I just get off a bus,there were 2 guys watching K-on behind my seat with No.headphone

I have some /a/non friends that wear Perplexitees, so I guess I'm showing my powerlevel when I hang out with them.

Other than that, no, never.

Another blog shit thread on /a/.

>>116038636
I saw a guy looking at screencaps from Nisekoi on the bus once.

>>116038636
>K-on fans confirmed for autists

>>116038426
Absolutely not. I've even managed to keep my cool when one of my closest friends told me he was watching an awesome show called Sword Art Online.

Aside from my phone background being my waifu, no.

>>116038963
You're a hero. I strive for having that much self-restraint one day.

>>116038426
My background is of my waifu.

Wallpaper of my laptop is eva, pretty subtle. Some guy noticed it at uni the other day, we started talking about anime. pic is wallpaper

Not sure if that counts

>>116038963
>I'm mad because people like a show that's hated on my cool secret anonymous imageboard

>>116039517
I should mention the one my laptop uses doesnt have the huge "Evangelion" watermark

>>116038426

No, but i have a younger cousin whose getting more into anime, so it's getting quite hard to hide it.

He watches dragon ball, the titans show, and legend of korra. He also said he was gonna get into naruto (which he mispronounced and i corrected him, since he clearly knew he had no idea how to pronounce it right).

I still have to catch up to korra, and for now he still just refers to them as shows, but im dreading the day he asks for recommendations or starts referring to them as anime.

>>116039581
>the titans show
>thinking korra is anime

The only person who knows I like anime/manga is my best friend who I met online five years ago.

It's better that way.

>>116039517
How the fuck is that subtle

I'm an idiot and always reveal my secrets/hobbies when I'm wasted. I started talking to a kid about anime, he said that he liked Naruto. I insulted his tastes and told him that anime was all about cute girls.

>why the fuck are you making me remember this, /a/...

uh, uh yeah blogshit fuck off

>>116039631
Unless you've seen the movies you have to be right next to the laptop to even see the details on the mechs.

From the distance most people besides me see it it just looks like scenery, but you'd recognize the scenery if you'd seen eva

>>116039611

Korra is western but similar enough that it's lumped in with anime. Same thing happened with avatar.

>>116039740
That's basically like saying the boondocks is anime

it isnt, and neither is avatar

boondocks is still good though

>>116039762
Daily reminder that hiding the things that you're passionate about will only lead to depression.

>>116039828
this guy knows

Does riding down the street with Fly Away blasting count?

I wear this in public.
Most of the people who comment on it have no idea what it's from, but I've had a few people recognize Yuuko.

>>116039784
only the first three seasons. last season sucked shit. Now black dynamite. That's some good shit. The new season OP was directed by TTGL and KLK director too.

I talk about it with my weeb friends in public, but I don't go around yelling about how much of a faggot I am to random people.

I got one of my friends a daki of his waifu for his birthday though, was pretty hilarious.

I played around on anirp in the library that one time.

>>116039828
>>116039854
It depends on how you show your power level

>>116039855
Nobody would know it was from anime and it's a rad song anyway so I don't think so. At least, not to people that aren't otherwise familiar with it.
>>116039828
Yeah but talking about anime with /a/ all day is hardly hiding it.

>>116039828
>implying talking about anime will bring about great enrichment to other people

>>116040050
That wasn't implied at all.

I browse /a/ on chanu during a lecture. It's just tiny thumbnails so I don't think anyone notices.

Have anime posters in my window, on my phone/pc, on the walls and listens to jpop most of the time..

Pretty sure my neighbors know.

>>116040161
Same here. When I have time I play Grisaia during lunch. It can get pretty awkward at times

>>116040383

How did you get through Amane's masturbation scene?

Most people know I like anime. It'll come up about me after a few conversations.
My close friends get recs from me and its nice to have some irl conversations about it.
A few of my coworkers also watch at a slightly above normalfag level but one of them is so awful. He gets me to preorder things for him because he doesn't have a credit card and sends me rape jokes and emotes and tags me in fb shit every other day. He mostly watches mech and cute girls.

I have one Eva shirt and my phone wallpaper is pic related but vertical with the hand pointing down. I play LLSIF if I have headphones.

The other day at Uni I saw someone watching InuYasha and last year someone watching Dog Days s1 on their phone on the bus. I still see tons of Titan vests and sweaters. Some people wearing them look adjusted. Others I would never want coming over to me to discuss anything.

>>116040415
I haven't gotten that far. I don't have much time to play since I'm in engineering. I just finished them going to the beach.

Seeing other people showing their powerlevel only makes me want to hide it even more.

>>116038963
Most coolheaded person on /a.

>>116040612
People are hardly suggesting you walk around with a dakimakura and a Naruto headband. Learn to set limits on how much you sperg out, but more importantly, find some people you're comfortable talking with. People with similar interests. It's the same with video games.

Assuming said people aren't blathering retards, maybe you can even steer them in the "right" direction.

>>116038963
Actually something similar happened to me, I heard a person say that the Umineko anime was so damn good they stopped watching anime after that because they thought nothing would ever reach it. No, they weren't being sarcastic. Also that they avoid anything longer than 26 episodes. I just cringed internally.

>>116040415
There's no H-CG for that scene. Or any CG at all for that matter.

I don't even censor myself around friends when I mention anime or manga. Shit was scene as weird in highschool but after that good friends dont give a shit what your hobbies, for the most part.

As autistic as it sounds, I don't see a problem with anime apparel as long as it's not faggy cosplay. I've used a NGE phone case on my S3 for the longest time. Never met a single person that knew what the NERV logo stood for though.

>>116041306
Just faggy cosplay or cosplay in general?

>>116041331

When people where cosplay in public, not for special occasions. Conventions I understand.

>>116038513
You are in my class aren't you.

>>116041331
>>116041396

I.e. cosplay in general

I read manga during lulls at work. For some reason, people feel the need to start conversations with me only when I'm reading manga.
