I agree. I'm 41 and still love Anime. Been into it longer than many of you have been alive - ever since the late 70's when it started running on US TV.
Age is irrelevant. It would be a silly thing to worry about. It's also silly to waste an once of your energy to worry about what other people think of you or what you do.

Yeah, I notice that a lot of the people here who are 30+ have long shrugged off concerns about that stuff.
As for lack of creativity in anime--there are always ups and downs, but you ride it through when you're a longtime fan. I've managed to find good anime even in "down years". Been watching anime since the early 80s, myself.

Some of those OPs would be in their mid to late 30s and a couple in their late 50s or early 60s. I'm not sure I will still be watching anime in 20 - 30 years; maybe old anime from this time period and earlier. I would think it was creepy if you're an old guy watching a bunch of little girls running around in middle or high school but if you're watching the violent anime or more mature anime I would think its ok.
No one has ever told me I was too old for anime; I'm in my 20s. I've just been told that it was weird that I liked it because of being a Black girl and I don't "look like" someone who likes anime (not sure what they heck that means). I'd rather watch anime than the drivel that is put on mainstream television because its more creative and less contrived (well, the anime I watch any way). |
Wow I just noticed that. Back in 2003 I was clashing with ANN and getting hit with the ban stick but now I'm approaching that rightful age of 28 and I'm starting to wonder if I can continue to have this love affair with anime. A lot of the new stuff don't interests me anymore. I believe the older you get the less appealing anime becomes and the magic is starting to wear off on me but something tells me I'll be watching anime playing video games and listening to Rap Music until I'm set in the dirt

Agreed. I am re-discovering anime after a hiatus of sorts. I am 24 and it's not weird. Defining maturity is a strange concept. You would start weeding it down until the only thing mature people would do is go to work, eat and sleep. Just follow your bliss and if it's not hurting yourself or anyone else, then rock on with your bad self.

Hey, you know what they say about anime high school girls. I get older and they stay the same age.

Me, too. Well, except for the "girl" part.
