| I'm curious to know because basically all the protaganists you see in anime nowadays are highschool students. and by old I mean like 60 or something. So...? |

| There's 2 manga series that I know of that has an old man as a protagonist. Dangerous Jiisan and Tensai Bakabon. |
| The closest I can think of is Howl's Moving Castle, but she is temporarily an old character. Other animes have "Old" characters, but actually have a large life-span/immortal so they look young... |
| There is in manga. Legend of the Strongest Man Kurosawa for example. Since most anime fans are of young age, the protagonists tend to be young. |

| There are probably are a few, none that I have seen though. Oldest protagonist from an anime I have seen was only 30 years old. |

| Daikichi of Usagi Drop is somewhat old. |
 |
| In shorts and movies then yeah but probably no series. |

| The main girl isn't that old but all of the guys are so http://myanimelist.net/anime/5984/Ristorante_Paradiso |
 |
| I think there are some seinen series.. seinen battle series.. like Vagabond ( i didn't read the series but i think the protagonist isn't young ) ... |
| The oldest protagonist in an anime I've seen is Daikichi from Usagi Drop and he was only in his 30s. In KHR the 9th Vongola boss was 70 but he's not a main character so I don't think he counts. He's the oldest anime character I've seen so far though. |
| One of the two main protagonists of One Outs is 43 years old. The other though is probably somewhere between 25-35 I'm guessing. That's the oldest one I can remember. |
| If we exclude vampires and other immortals... One of the main characters from Uchuu Senkan Yamato 2199 (Juzo Okita) is 50+ years old, also he looks kinda even older to me: http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/characters/15/216827.jpg MC from Mudazumo Naki Kaikaku: The Legend of Koizumi is 60+: http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/characters/10/84812.jpg |

| I think Tenma from Monster was in his late 30s for most of the show. Gin and Hana from Tokyo Godfathers are middle-aged. It's a sort of tricky choice, but Chiyoko from Millennium Actress is a 75-year-old woman. And the most prominent role in My neighbors the Yamadas was the father's, if I remember well (in his 40s I guess). Aside from these, and the above mentioned: Daikichi from Usagi Drop and the old man from Tsumiki no ie I don't recall anything else. Maybe in some other short... |
| Haru from Real Drive is 81: http://myanimelist.net/anime/3363/RD_Sennou_Chousashitsu There is also Megabaa in Dennou Coil: http://myanimelist.net/anime/2164/Dennou_Coil And some of the characters in Bartender are pretty "mature": http://myanimelist.net/anime/1589/Bartender |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
