I was just curious about this, since it happens to me a lot.
It's obvious that the majority of us are in English-speaking countries, and it's obvious that CCS didn't get very good treatment in said countries. Because of that, most English-speaking people don't have a very good opinion on the show itself. We number among the few who have seen the truth, yet we are alone in a vast world full of lies and ignorance. When we try to share what we have learned with others, they shrug it off, they harass you for liking such a "crappy girly show", and (for boys at least) your masculinity rating among your peers drops 150% or more.
I get made fun of all the time for liking CCS, because no one has ever seen the actual show, and therefore they don't know how amazing it was. Is it like this with anyone else, or am I alone? =/
-
When I was at College and universities, I always carry something CCS around with me and whether its a folder, keyring, stickers, artwork or whatever, people always think anything that is "animated" is for kids. It happens all the time in the UK. I always get comments such as "How old are you?" or "Don't you realise those kinds of stuff are for kids" and many more similiar comments. I even get those type of comments from friends & somehow not close to them anymore. However in the end, I'm proud that there are so many older CCS fans and proud of what my tastes are.

Hehe, I'm a teacher, and I have a Sakura keychain...not too long ago, one of my students noticed it and was like, "Wow, Cardcaptors! You like Cardcaptors?" No one else in the class even knew what it was (these were high school freshman)! As to the one student, I had to, umm, educate her...I immediately brought my CCS manga up and let her read it...
-
A couple of forums I belong to made constant fun of me but after awhile accepted The Clow as a way of life for me :)
-
lol.. i was called a phedophile for liking 'little kids' in CCS.. and yes, people even at 18 view CCS as 'Kids cartoon' and thinks that i'm childish watching and liking it..
-
Yes....But I nevermind it 'cause even though it's for kids(I know I'm 25 years old today)but I really liking it even I have a job right now. :okay:
-

Oh my gosh... I was teased the same thing as well, but mostly cause I liked CCS and it wasn't seen as one of those 'mature' animes. Even other anime fans can tease me for still loving CCS after all these years because there are so many other great animes out there and CCS is seen as childish...
But that's not true. CCS is a lot more than that... and I love it because of that. And so I don't care what other "mature" anime fans think, I love CCS.
As for others, yes, I've also been teased as childish especially from my family. But I kept watching and going crazy over CCS and anime, so they've gotten used to it. >_> I think.
-
yea...I was laughed at sometimes!!!!
most of the people in my country don't even know that CCS exists **can you believe that** And my friends laugh at me and say :" You like to watch cartoons???" They don't know the difference between a great anime ang A cheesy carton...*sigh*
-
I have been very fortunate no one has every laugh at me for watching CCS.

My classsmates say the same thing to me, just because it's animated it doesn't mean it's only for little kids! They even comented that because I bought a Sailor Moon dvd.

RIght on! They don't really say anything but people give me weird looks when they find out I like CCS. But I don't mind them.. they'll never know what they're missing. :D
-
I was teased about it but now people shut up about it cause they're going to regret it later :violent1: hehe but Some of my really good friends make fun of me hehe I call Myself Mrs. Li :sweatdrop: eheheh i don't blame then for that hahah :heh:
-
Yeah, I too have been picked on for liking CCS, picked on for liking anime in general since 1992, because of the horrid Amerikilled CardCaptors. I don't let it get me down thou....I just hand them X or Chobits and tell them that the people who made CCS, made this. Then I get asked, can I read more.....you'd be amazed how many friends I made doing that. I'm 19, and have no prob buying anime, I'll buy it when I'm in my 70s even, I think age should not matter on what you like verses what others think is wrong or what they like in return.
-
My family makes fun of me for watching CCS all the time. They don't think it's normal to watch 9 DVDs in one weekend without a stitch of English in them. But then again, they make fun of me no matter what "cartoon" I watch. They just don't appreciate good anime.

I wish i lived with you, that sounds really fun ^^
hehe but Some of my really good friends make fun of me hehe I call Myself Mrs. Li eheheh i don't blame then for that hahah
lol, that does suit you.
But, i dont understand how CCSis a kids show. The japenese version is to emotionally deep for anyone under the age of 10, and the animation is amazing for when it was prodced. People dont insult artists for drawing, and this is the same thing. Some people just need to get a grip.
-
I feel sorry for those who get picked on by their family for liking an Anime.
-
At least my familly don't pick me much. :) My dad watches some anime, my sis is fan too, and my mom likes anime that are kawaii and kid-friendly. In fact my dad was the one that introduced me to anime! Yay! My friends are the only onethat pick on me. *sigh*
-
Believe it or not, my family picks on me (and goes to the extreme of humiliating me in public) for liking anime, especially CCS. Not my girlfriend and some of my female coworkers, though. At times my girlfriend would even compare me to Kero-chan.
-
Boys have it harder than girls when it comes to CCS...My family is used to me going crazy over lots of anime so they don't mind . BUt my parents put their foot down when i buy tOO much
-
My mother used to tease me for watching the Cardcaptors dub (like, six years ago or when ever it was shown on Teletoon,) But she gave me no grief about CCS, and all my younger siblings adored it, so no, I never really got picked on.
-
I never got picked on for liking CCS by my mother (i inherited her obsession for asian and mainly japanese things).
a few months back...
Me: *watching CCS 2nd movie in the living room*
Mom: *enters* are you watching that one ...again?!
Me: Yup! *happy face*
Mom: How many times?
Me: this would be the 100th time, hehe
Mom: must be good movie then *sits down in front of the tv*
half a hour later we're watching the scene where Sakura confesses and Syaoran doesn't say anything...
Mom: Say something you stupid kid! (i think she is a S&S supporter as well ^^)
Me: whoa! relax mom!
a few minuters later the credits come....
Mom: it was a good movie
Me: now i just need to get the other movie
Mom: warn me when you have it, i want to see that one too.
Me: sure!
^ that is my mom, but some kids at school.....sheesh!
Me: *watching CCS on the pc in school, and some guy walks by*
guy: *looks at Sakura fighting against Storm Card* It looks like Dragonball Z
Me: *almost dies of shock*
guy: what?
Me: *gives the guy the biggest Syaoran death-glare you've ever seen*
guy: *quickly walks away*
and some people just say it's stupid when i tell them about it.....
-
I've been picked on for liking CCS even though i'm in college now. but i really don't care a lot since they can never understand.
-
^ Well I'm already working, and having a wallpaper of Syaoran kissing Sakura and a CCS Sakura pin on your bag is something to raise your eyebrows about. The girls in the office love the waallie, though. :XD:
-
^ yeah, if that was me in your office then I would normally react like that too - and pounce on you shouting "Oh good! Another die-hard fanatic like me!!!"
-
i don't get picked on... but some of my friends find it a bit "childish" that i like CCS. they don't say anything bad about it tho... they just give me a "you're still into THOSE kind of stuff" face.
-
Basicly, most people don't know of other kind of Anime other then what is on prime time TV, ie. Sailor Moon, Digimon, DBZ,ect....
So what I do to break the ice is find an anime that is or would be in their liking, then I get them hook line and sinker.
Good rec. Is Fruits Baskets--For the girly type
Weiss Kreuz/Gluhen American version for the Outtakes,
Many more I can't think of at the moment
-
Well, CCS viewership is kinda misplaced.
Though glares like that are expected.
-
Picked on for liking CCS? But it's a classic!
I'm in college now so it's okay it profess your love of CCS/pokemon/digimon/whatever but in Sec school if I ever mentioned it people would be like 'Oh yeah, that's like DBZ, innit?' - _-
-
I know a lot of persons who think CCS is only for children, but that's no true. I'm shy and everytime I see CCS I prefer see it alone...my parents could think I'm a child (When I'm 18 XD) or I'm a bit bizarre..
I remember when ih my birthday I watched 2nd movie with my friends in living-room and all we laugh again and again...my father was surprised...once I saw a Yukito-Sakura-luv my mother asked me "Why does he look so stupid closing eyes and smiling in that way?" :dodge:
XD
-
I've never been picked on for liking it, maybe because many of my friends like anime and CCS ^^. I'm the one who likes it the most though
-
Right now even my girlfriend likes CCS, and she now calls me Kero-chan :XD:.
-
^aww, that's cute<3
I rarely mentions CCS, but I don't know why. they're all bleach obsessed.
-
I was sort of made fun of once, but most of my friends dont know that I watch CCS.
Fairie Inc.
-
Tell them Fairie Inc. They might have a hidden anime as well

everyone does. My cousin who kinda made fun of me because i watched an anime and he thought i was childish, actually is a fan of Detective Conan and Death Note. Child Yourself!
-
I'm the only one who had a CCS and TRC obssesion though - they're all Naruto-addicted.
-
^ or dragonball Z addicted ....... *sighes*
-
Dragonball is ancient here in our country, yet no one gets bored.
Here: (sample dialogue)
YOu watch Naruto? Yes, I do.
You watch Dragonball? Hell yes I do.
You watch Yuyu Hakusho? More than anything else, I DO!
And... do you watch CCS and TRC?
*long silence to be broken by a shattering glass*
Um, what are they?!

yeah that's how it goes
-
Ironically, some people I know don't know TRC, but they know Chronicle of the Wings. And they're the same guys who go hanyaan over my Kero-chan wallies. O_o
-
Nup, they know that if they did I would kick the crap out of them........................HAAAAAAAAAH AAAAAHAAAHAAAHAAA~~~~

HAAAHHAAAA indeed. I tried that. Doesn't always work.
-
Sometimes it's the exact opposite - for me. T____T
-
And to think CCS has an ironically big market ^_^
-
Whenever I get bad stares for liking CCS, or anime in general - I shrug it off and remember that they're all ignoramuses that haven't had their share of androgens (most of them are the kind of people who think everything that's Asian is "Chinese". >_>).
And whoever thinks that everything that is "animated" is for kids, I shall bombard them with Elfen Lied episodes. :3
-
I get it from my real life friend Katie. She is constantly complaining to me at how much she hates anime, and yet, I've told her that I like it..still, it doesn't stop me from loving such a superb anime <3
-
I was never picked on for liking CCS or any other anime. I guess I was lucky. ^^; If I were, however, I would ignore them if they can't understand the wonderful world of my fandom even after I try to explain it to them. Someone that can't handle the fact that I like anime is not worth my time. ^^;;
-
True, and besides anime is already part of everyday life, and that CCS is a classic, so nobody should complain about loving anime.
