>>69232779My family has mocked my hobby constantly throughout the last 10 years or so, but nevertheless I've had some good experiences.
I let my younger brother watch Major season 1 when he was younger (7~ years ago), and he loved it, but he hated season 2 and stopped watching. Then I let him watch Bleach thinking it may be good for him to watch Shounen, but he hated it too, and he won't watch anything I give him ever since (;_;).
I let my father watch Monster and he greatly enjoyed it, worked his way up to around episode 15 before finding out there are over 70 episodes and dropping it (he assumed the 20-episode disc I gave him was all there was to it). He also watched a couple of Eva episodes with me, but didn't like it much.
My mom used to hate everything related to Japan, but I softened her up with Haruki Murakami and she became a huge fan of his. I also gave her some Mushishi Manga, but she couldn't even finish volume 1.
Also, we all watched Spirited Away together...
I think the best experience though was my father joining me for 2 episodes of Ichigo Mashimaro, he said it was pretty funny;_;
