Anime Question

Can you get too old for Anime?

Sure, we all love to say that we will watch it until we die and bla bla, but be honest, would would be somewhat disturbed if you saw an old lady read a shoujo or a yaoi? Do you think there is a age when anime gets too old for you?

Ah, thank you guys for your opinions.

Nah, I don't really think there's an age limit on it.
I mean, I watch anime with my mom all the time, and she's... like... 50 I think?

Anime is no different than regular books or movies or shows except it's foreign and animated, and everyone loves a good story regardless or age, so why does the method of story telling matter?

Besides, I think it would be really freaking awesome to see an old lady reading manga.

I've been watching anime avidly for half my life now (ages 18 to 35), and don't plan on stopping. If anime was a part of someone's youth, I think it's likely it can stay with them for the rest of their lives. Kinda like how you can still be a Beatles fan in your 60's, even though when the Beatles came out, it was something for young people. It's unusual nowadays to see someone in their 50s getting into anime because it's not likely something that was part of their youth. But in another 20 and 30 years, I don't think it will be that unusual at all.

there will be old folks around who will rewatch the same shows they watched in their glory days, and shake their heads at all the incomprehensible newer stuff that the neweer generation is watching these days. wonder what anime will be like in 20 years? maybe other countries besides Japan will start to take over the animation market and they'll be watching that???

I'd be suprised to see an old lady reading manga, but I actually think it'd be cool. Besides, in my opinion, you're never too old for a good story and anime has some of the best stories around. So no, you can't get too old for anime. I know I never will.

Never!!! There are different animes for different age group. For example, I like to watch Doraemon when I'm still a child. As a teenager, I prefer to watch Ranma 1/2 & Inuyasha (a bit of romance). And now I'm into Bleach & Gintama.

Most people don't like anime when they're adults but I don't think it would be weird if they did.
And not all anime is yaoi or shoujo ^-^; but if an old man (or any man for that matter) is watching that then yes..He has problems O.o

No way,regardless of what anyone says I think anime is for whomever wants to watch it and all ages if that person can handle the content of the specific anime and I would have no place in telling someone that they were either "too young" or "too old" for anime it's their choice to watch it.

I guess it's more normal to be out partying, drinking, and having sex with random people and getting diseases. Yep, that sounds like a lot more fun that watching anime for the rest of my life. xD

I honestly don't understand why people get so hung up on age. You are who you are, you like what you like. And if other people can't accept that fact, then It's there own damn proplem.

I myself am 22, and love anime. Mainly because I grew up with all of the old classics.
If someone thinks you're too old for it, then tell them to get stuffed.

And that, as they is that! :P

Agreed. I like FMA, Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, and Death Note (from your picture). Inuyasha's okay, too, I suppose. I only really like Koga from that show. xD

and I like Code Geass, FMA, Rurounin Kenshin, Spirited Away and Naruto. Inuyasha's okay for me too XD I like it 'cuz of Sesshy :)

I don't really think so... I mean, I think it's to do with old ladies and old men not having a wide access of anime in their generation, so they might not pick it up at such an old age.

Also, I get the feeling there are much more shounen and shoujo anime than seinen and josei <-- I might be wrong though.

There needs to be more seinen anime. I know, I'm not old OR a guy, but that's still no reason to make less. Shounen is usually boring in most cases, so I'd love it if they made more of the type anime I like.

Well i don't see why anyone could be too old for anime, because in the end you're as old how you feel. And if anyonee disapproves you watching it i'd say its their problem. If it's what you like best you shouldn't let yourself be hold back in doing so

well sometime and it also depends on the anime.

i just hit 20, quite frankly most people including my friends find it weird that i still like them.

i still watch them time to time..to answer your question i would say, in some ways you will grow out of anime ...like things that are childish .

but other anime ...nope i dont think i might stop anytime soon

There are anime for all ages, therefore there is no age limit. Yes, it might be weird to find the occasional cosplay in your moms closet, but it's no different from liking any other TV show. I can't imagine a time when I'll just stop liking anime.
