Your parents opinions on OP~
-
-
My sisters love it, my mom is familiar with all character and brings me different toys from her travels (like amazing rubber-made Luffy she found in Italy toy store). She used to think One Piece is the name of Luffy himself XD
My dad makes fun of me for collecting merchandise, he says its a stupid waste of money. Maybe he
s right >D< But I can`t help myself. -
Mum loves Chopper, Dad's bought me RoCho porn.
Thats about where it ends really XD
-
My mom's familiar with the characters, and is helping me collect the P.O.P. sets by using her credit cards. (I never, ever want credit cards, too many bad things can happen.)
My aunt thinks Chopper is cute, but she says "I don't like the guy with the really long nose". And she knows Sanji's my favorite OP character.
My little cousin is kinda into it, he watched Movie 8 with me, and ran back to my aunt yelling "Mom, Luffy came back to life and beat up Crocodile!!"
-
My parents don't know anything about it other than its existence. Though one time my mom walked in while I was watching the Funimation dub and laughed at Chopper's squeaky voice.
-
Dad's bought me RoCho porn.
That is creepy in so many ways…..
-
Well, they don't say anything, they don't know about it, it's not a secret, it's just a random thing.
-
My mom knows about it, but doesn't really care.
My dad, on the other hand, did express some interest in it, but he didn't really have the time to watch the whole thing from the beginning, so we watched the Skypiea arc (since it's kinda disjointed and away from the main plot) over last summer, and had a blast. He liked it so much, we watched G8 and the Davy Back Fight too.
I really should go back and show him the beginning sometime.
-
my mom thought Chopper was just a kid
like if a kid could be so damn fucking hairy and with horns
-
Both of my parents don't really care, but they know I like it.
My sister just likes watching it with me. -
My Mom kinda knows about it, I guess. But it's not like she's interested. She thinks it's awesome I'm collecting the POPs tho, why? I have no clue…
-
Mom doesn't care, Dad doesn't care, Rosie(friend of mine) doesn't care, and my brother almost cared.
I'm all on my own.
-
My mom thinks it's kinda cool, but she likes the 4kids rap, and every time she sings it I want to shoot myself in the head…not really, but it's still nerve racking....my brother loves One Piece, my sister thinks it's weird...she usually says "ew" when she sees Usopp or some of the animals... My dad thinks it's cool, but he hasn't really watched it with me yet.
I know the topic says "parents"...but I just included my whole family.......cuz yeah.
-
Parents are aware I enjoy it.
I played Unlimited Adventure with my mother. She finds it "Cute".
-
My mom thinks anything animated is just a "cartoon"
My dad saw the 4kids episode of Zoro vs Mihawk and said it was a sorry piece of shit. And never watched it again even though i try to show him some stuff.
-
The only person in my family who knows I'm into it is my brother.
He actually claims he is interested in watching it, but something tells me he'll never get to it.
-
Come to think of it, I'm not sure if my dad even knows about it but my mother buys me the comics. I don't think she as any interest in it but she recognizes some of the characters. My sisters will watch with me sometimes and enjoy it but aren't avid fans.
My friends think it's too freaking weird.
-
My dad has seen my One Piece wallpaper before (on the countless fucking times he makes me google-search some dead actor or some newscaster whore), but I don't think he knows what it really is.
My brother and best friend know about it (mostly cuz I told them how much the 4Kids version was screwed up), and my sister doesn't know about it.
Dad's bought me RoCho porn.
!
-
My parents basically know of it's existence…my mom at one point said that it was my anti-drug. My dad on the other hand knows somewhat about the plot line...I'm not exactly sure how...but he's shown a little interest in it...he sat down and watched a dub episode once while I was...around when Cricket was talking about the Knock-up stream. Then he was like "When are they riding it up?" "Bout 8 episodes" "You know?" "Yeah I've seen all the way up to 340 somethin" and he was all o_O.
-

Thats about where it ends really XD
WHAT..THE…HELL?!
-
My parents know it exists, since by brother buys the comics and I buy the video games. However, beyond that, the only thing they know about it is that I like to draw Nico Robin. They say I draw her well, but they always make fun of me because I draw her with big breasts (cause, you know, Oda says she's a fucking I-cup). Now they think I'm a tit-fiend.:getlost:
-
My parents know about One Piece but the only character they recognize is Luffy. Though it's only because my brother cosplayed him.
I also taught my 2 year old sister all the character names and now she points them out whenever she watches it with me (her favourite is Usopp and she likes to yell his name around the house.)
-
My parents don't really pay attention to all my "Japanimation", as they like to call it. My mother has a vauge knowledge of it, and if I'm trying to describe it to her, it's always titled "That One Show About the Pirates". Dad attempted to play Grand Battle 3 with me, but he got confused because a) he didn't get the controls and b) it's in Japanese so I had to read everything to him. My sister has a completely opposite personality than I do, and thinks getting our nails done is better for bonding that watching a silly cartoon.
-
My Mom and Dad know I enjoy it and I can watch it as long as I get good grades. My friends also loves the show But my brother HATES anime and hates One Piece most of all because to him it doesn't makes sense and he thinks the characters are gay.
And even when I explain its not kiddy and explain the serious points in the show all he says is. "Its not real its just a Cartoon and it cannot help you in life."
There are 2 things wrong in what he says. 1. Its an Anime and its a little more mature than what we consider a cartoon in America. 2. It tought me alot of things about what the right thing is and made me dig into my emotional self which is really good for an actor.
-
My mom &dad knows it exists too. But the thing is they won't get into it because they feel that anime has spiritualism and are a bit concerned about it. But honestly, I don't care since this is a cartoon about pirates. Seriously, almost anything supernatural can happen in a pirates world.
-
my mom saw a colorwalk book sitting out at our house once and she thought it was great.
she thought luffy was cute and she cracked up at a picture of arlong.
-
My brother watched the Funimation dub with me but doesn't go any further than that. Meanwhile I went on to reach Ch 500 in the manga so yeah… he's not as into it but he enjoys it.
My mom is too busy watching law and order to care about anything else, nor would she nor my dad be interested.
My nephews (from a different brother) hate it because they only watch what their mom watches and she doesn't like it. Stupid sister in law. It's because they only saw the 4kids version and never gave it a chance again (nor know the Funimation dub exists) I bet. But they are also all into Naruto and the other popular crap, so eh... they are already lost causes.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention that one day my parents found Robin porn I drew for Local in my table XDDDD
God, that was fun.And everytime I buy a new POP I run around the house, throw it at everyone
s face and yell _SEEE AIN
T THIS SO COOL?!_ Moms usually awwwwwwwwww so cute, they
re so well-made! and dad`s ugh not again.
XD -

XDAh, the power of Robin porn….enough to make anyone all tingly

as far as i know, my folks know nothing of OP. absolutely none.
but, there were times it was mentioned to them. one time being that my dad found out i had UA on reserve. he just asked me what it was called and what it was about.
i simply said One Piece and pirates. he said 'kay'.
then was the time i came home from AX '07. i had bought the special Robin and Sanji figures [the 'formal' edition, as oppose to Nami and Luffy's 'beach edition']. mother though Robin's dress was pretty and liked the fact Sanji has a rose in his hand.
other than those moments, they dont know anything else about OP. not that i mind though, i actually dont have a lot of OP stuff hanging around in my room. just the aforementioned things.
EDIT: oh, sister knows about OP. i tell her stuff and she watches me play UA. she likes to make silly comparisons of me and several characters. friends think OP is weird, but although they dont watch it [most of them dont anyway], they have a positive view on it.
cause we all like pirates
-
My parents and sister know about it and know some names due to merchandise I have, but dad is the only one somewhat interested in the storyline. He also laughs at Kaku for being a deadly giraffe assassin.
-
mhh i am the reason why 3(sometimes 4
) of my friends read the manga ….i have to give always my volumes away haha but i lie to chear it with m,y friends...
my parents...mhh when i was younger i always talked about OP and wanted this and that...
but if some1 ask today my parents which manga i read they would just know..."yeah he like such a thing...how it`s called...O-one Pic or One Prick"...:happy:but anyways they don`t have to be interested in it .....
-
my mom like chopper and luffy she recognize them when she see a manga but my both parents and brothers thinks waste my money for that is stupid!
they' re right but i can't control myself on that lol ^_^"
-
I think my mum also thinks I'm spending too much money on this, but she never told me… it's just the way she behaves. But it's fine for her because after all, it's MY money. XD
She really doesn't know much about One Piece though. At least she knows the name (I'd kill her if she started saying stuff like "that thing about pirates" XD). She doesn't really know the chars. I just know she thinks Chopper is adorable (I showed her the pic of a Chopper plushie and she went "awwwww!" XD) and Usopp is plain ugly (because she saw my Usopp plushie... yes, plushies are both good and evil XD).
She doesn't care about the videogames... seriously, she's more interested in buying me Lego Indiana Jones (Wii) than me getting Unlimited Adventure, that game I've been dying to play XD
But globally it's fine. She doesn't criticize my passion for OP. XD -
Ah, the power of Robin porn….enough to make anyone all tingly
:ninja:
Oh and also, I'm the reason that one or two of my friends reads the manga. The already saw the dub back in '04, but I gently nudged them towards the manga.
-
My dad saw that screenshot of Usopp's nose from Drum Island and said "Is that a penis!?" That's probably the only comment I've got from him. He really doesn't care about what I watch.
-
hmm out of my family my mom doesnt really know one piece that much but she would recognize it. my dad i dont think he has a clue to wat it is
. My oldest brother use to watch but stopped cause he had to much work XP. my other brother stopped cause he got into gaming to much :wassat:. My cousins just know i like it
.
-
I don't think my parents are even aware that a manga/show called One Piece exists. (They would probably know if I'm living with them though and I'm pretty sure they'll find it funny. XD) My younger sisters, on the other hand, have seen a few episodes of the anime on TV but they're quite apathetic about it.
My aunt and uncle, whom I am living with right now, think it's childish. Well, they generally think manga and anime are for kids anyway. It's pointless arguing with them so I just let them be. Although one time when my Luffy figure came in the mail, my auntie asked if she could have a look. I showed it to her and she said it's 'cute'.
That came out of nowhere so I was really surprised. She's probably getting less hostile to manga/anime.
-
"japaneese bitchcrap" .
-
My parents are aware of what I'm watching and sometimes help my sister out with her cosplay projects, though they don't care about it at all and probably never will either.
-
Dad thought it was Hentai.
Mum thought I was lame.
Friend thought Usopp's 4kid voice suited him about right.
Another friend only showed any interest when I mentioned they had Bounties, and enjoyed Jango's Dance Carnival, then saw Hatchan vs. Zoro, and thought 'the guy with the big mouth and hair looks stupid - You're stupid'.
-
My dad thinks it's bizarre. My mom hates all manga, everywhere.
My best friend can't be bothered to read One Piece, but he thinks the storylines are hilarious, especially the dials. -
My mom likes it… But now that CN stopped airing it... And she really doesn't like fansubs or whatnot... I have a feeling she's gonna forget about it.
Damn CN.
-
Use force,we can't loose a western adult fan NOW .
-
My parents don't know anything about it other than its existence. Though one time my mom walked in while I was watching the Funimation dub and laughed at Chopper's squeaky voice.
Mine are the same way. Though mom did watch the first Funi episode with me. She kept asking who the main character was because, for some reason she just could NOT believe it was Luffy.
-
My mom calls it "the show with all the yelling", but I can't ever tell which series anime she means since she can't distinguish Eyeshield 21 from One Piece.
She also said I look like a black version of Luffy and called Nami annorexic.
-
my mom and dad know i like it and will buy me some since im like 14. they don't know much about it.my friends don't even know what it is for they are too busy worrying if the kinda hot/fat girl in our class likes them. my mom thinks its dumb i have the japenese volumes but i say i read it so much on the internet i know it in my head which i[s true. The only kid in my class who i think might like it is scary. i could go days reading the same book over and over scaring my parents. overall no one really cares or has interest but me. i asked my dad if i could go to a convention and he thought it was gay .hater
-
My mom thinks Chopper is Adorable, and stole My Chupa-Chups Chopperman Plushie from me XD
She has it hanging from the backboard to her bed XD -
Heh, when I listen to Luffy's musical singles - ''Wanted'' and ''We are Here'' my mom asking me - ''Is One piece singing it?'' Its annoing but she crack me up sometimes.
-
When I was crying when Hiluluk from Drum island died , she came and said''Dont cry - One piece will live in your heart forever ''
it seems she calls everyone from anime by the title of it
