Why don't they? There's nothing wrong with anime. Ever tried showing them some Tezuka anime? If you show them some of Tezuka's works (Probably shouldn't show them Astro boy, cause they would think nothing of it.) like Black Jack or Phoenix, then the thoughts may change. Tezuka's works show the meaning of life and importance of the world and its environment. Why would someone not support it?
My mother, on the other hand, I asked a simple question once asking "Can I have a Black Jack shirt?" one day and she simply said "Sure. Which Picture of him do you want on it? I'll make it for you." I thought "Wow. I didn't think that it could be any easier than this."

It was the same with the Astro boy gba game and T-shirt. I just simply asked for them. She said we'll see, and look, I got them for x-mas as christmas gifts.

Beg your parents, or just get money and buy stuff on your own if possible. (That's what I would do if my parents didn't support anime.)
