Is it socially acceptable to say I like anime to work colleagues?
i think youll find your co-workers taste might be even worse than yours!
Not unless you like Sword Art Online and Attack on Titan. Deep anime for the true nerds.

Depends.
The reaction of your coworkers is inextricably contingent upon the manner in which you convey your interest. Just like anything else, you must hide your powerlevel and explain your interest in a way that appeals to the most base normie sensibilities. I remember telling my coworkers about kill la kill last year. I told them it was about a mysterious girl who challenges the oppressive regime of her high school in order to avenge her father's death. That's it. That's all I said. A couple of weeks later, one of my female coworkers said she actually checked it out on crunchy-roll and it was the most insane thing she's ever seen.
>"Anon, what the fuck did I just watch? You never mentioned anything about superpowered women sword-fighting in lingerie"
>mfw she actually did a marathon and watched the whole damn season
Don't lose your way...........

kek, it's a bit extreme talking about KLK to normies, they'll just think you're a pervert who likes watching school girls in skimpy outfits.
Which probably isn't far from the truth tbqh amirite.
Just say you like watching "Japanese cartoons" and mention some normie shit if they ask what ones are good.
DO NOT mention haremshit or moeshit unless you want to be thought of as a pervert or pedophile, respectively.
t. anime senpai

Well, yes I'm a pervert.
The point I was trying to make is that you have to be nonchalant and not give a fuck. Just act like it's totally natural. You'd be surprised at how many normies get interested in anime. Take KLK for example. It has a strong female protag who doesn't take shit and whoops ass. Women eat that shit up. The pervy stuff is excusable and amusing once you get invested in the story and setting.
No. Consider a nome an esoteric artform. You don't want to reveal your powetlevel to the uninitiated
