Move out and all your dreams will come true.

You should talk to them in a mild manner. When I was about 15 or 16. I was so obsessed with Anime. I watch it 15 hours a day. My parents didn't really like it but I talked to them how anime makes me more complete. Haha idk but it's worth a shot. Talk to them :3

Tell them to fuck off, say either I hang up otaku shit in my room, or i'll become a lesbian/goth/hooker/stripper/camgirl, good luck, and may drugging them in their sleep be a last resort!

Slip some poison in their drinks. People will do anything for an antidote. On a more serious note, I think you should just do it. What can they do about it?

Tell them to mind their own? If you're 20 you're old enough to decorate your room how ever you want.

Step 1. Move out & rent/buy your own place. Step 2. Spend your hard earned money on things that you like... I prefered my education thank goodness...

I was gonna say it doesnt matter your and adult now and then i saw that you lived with your parents then i was like ohhhh thats why they are giving you a hard time. Tbh try reasoning with them maybe show them one of your fav anime (if it has ecchi or is like a harem dont show it to them they might disagree more) and dont pick anything too violent either. Maybe try comparing it to something they do like lets say your dad likes cars and he watches the car channels that shows cars all day and has magazines with cars in them just tell him "i know you like cars, and i never say anything about it cause thats what you like, but understand anime is what i like its no different than you with cars"

You pretty much have 2 choices (or more)here. But here's what I will say. 1. You can either move out and find your own place, then they won't be able to do anything about it. Then you can do whatever you wamt and buy as many things as you want, just watch your budget, because your now living on your own. Or 2. Try to make a compromise with them, after all >you are still living in their house< so you still have to live under their rules. So talk to them about it and be calm when you do, last thing you want to say is something stupid that will get them mad and make the situation worse. Don't show your obsessive side an be like "BUT MOM, DAD! ANIME IS MY LIFE! I'M ALMOST 21 I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT" that's not how you want to start off. Try to find the best approach and timing, and don't go behind their backs and start buying stuff.Be sure to explain to them why you like Anime, and make a good case. Start off with a few things first. You don't want to go all out and buy all sorts of crazy things. Be respectable and don't act immature. Like Panda said, avoid getting ecchi, hentai, or harem stuff at first, it won't help you And don't tell them to fuck off or mind their own business either, your living under their roof, they provide you with a bed to sleep on and food to eat. So there are some guidelines you have to follow. If you can't deal with it, then move out. Also if you are providing for the house as well, like helping with the bills, or paying rent,etc. You should have some liberties.

I don't like that you're so obsessed with anime, either. Studies show that the more anime paraphernalia you buy, the more useless and the more of a drain on society you become. If you fill your room with otaku stuff, just know that you are hindering the advancement of humanity.
