The difficult thing about having parents who are otaku: ● When your mom (who’s in her 50s) starts singing ‘Bath time♪ Bath time♪ Bath tiiiime♪’ and imitating the voice of [A Certain Magical Index female lead] Index.”
“When my parents and I go to sing karaoke together, it’s pretty much an anime song music festival.”
A family where mom and/or dad are seriously into anime makes for a unique upbringing, as highlighted in a recent tweet from Japanese Twitter user @xamethyx.
“These days, it feels more like we’re otaku buddies than parents and child.”
