| I'm 22 and most of the users I come across are around 13-17. Users age 18 and under are kids. Anime is aimed for kids, but man I'm sad that I don't see any oldies here :( Anyone here over 20? Am I the only old guy here? I'm sick of talking to kids. I actually hate kids irl they are annoying little shits. I feel weird sometimes talking to 13 year olds on MAL, not even gonna lie. Feelsbadman. |

| I don't know why but I always thought the majority of people here were 20+ |

"Fuck this shit, fun things are fun!" |
| I'm proof that older people watch Anime. |
  |
| I thought most were 20+ as well but it would make SO much sense that a good amount are younger, just based on content alone. |
| I've never come across anything close to 13yos.. I guess you come across people with your maturity, OP. The truth hurts, I know. |
| I haven't encountered any kid (that I know). And from what I've seen, most people on MAL are around 19-20 y/o. |

| Most anime isn't too kids orientated, like American cartoons anyway, and I seen anime forums with plenty of adult posters and some who have been watching anime for years. I'm an adult, OK, I'm not some teen. |
Naranja128 said: I don't know why but I always thought the majority of people here were 20+ Yeah, same. I haven't met any 13-14 years old on here yet. |
 |
| most anime watchers are severely depressed or have otherwise shitty lives most teens won't actually end their lives while they're still living with their parents you do the math. |
 |
| Is that so? I don't even pay attention as to how old other users are... I'm 21. |
 |
| Because anime appeals to children. |
 |
| Because most anime is aimed at teenagers? How is this in any way surprising? Though that aside there are a lot of MAL users in their 20s, don't get the wrong idea |
  |
| Cartoons are for children Anime = cartoons MAL is an anime site Obviously it's gonna attract some kids and manchildren |

| anime is for children. get a life old people |
 |
| probably because recent series like SnK, SAO, OPM etc became really popular and brought a lot of younger people into the medium |
| Because animes are made for kids, lad. |
| I find that the physical age of people is actually quite varied. I'm 21 myself and it seems to be a fairly average age. Mentally though...That's where most of the users are kids. |
 It's an entirely different kind of flying, altogether! It's an entirely different kind of flying. |
Sperm said: Anime is aimed for kids Depends on what anime you watch. Some of its aimed at kids but a huge amount of anime is aimed at people aged 17-30+. After all, you'd hardly described anime like Death Note, Cowboy Bepop or Death Parade etc as anime targeted at children! (and that's not even getting into hentai...) Comic_Sans said: Cartoons are for children Anime = cartoons MAL is an anime site Obviously it's gonna attract some kids and manchildren Cartoons are for children? Hardly. A lot of Western cartoons are aimed at kids but there are a lot aimed at adults (like Family Guy or much broader age ranges (and which are probably much better appreciated by older audiences like Animal Farm and Watership Down etc). Even many of the early Walt Disney cartoons were originally targeted at adults (not children). Kids like cartoons but so do adults (and most people I've gotten to know on here so far are adults). There's something for every age range. |

yes....yes I did  |
| 20 is the new 10...or something like that. If I acted my age, my life would be so boring. |

| I joined when I was 16. Now I'm 24. Why am I still here. |

| @Comic_Sans Fair enough (its just form the way you wrote your post, you gave the impression that your opinion of anime was that it was for kids). |

"it's not supposed to be taken seriously" I'm not blind to this either and I'll take it however I want ;) . Consider for a moment...That perhaps being "serious" is my "preferential style". If I want to play games with people, I'll play ball. |

| I always thought MAL was this secret pedophile gathering elaborately disguised as an anime forum. |
 |
| 13-17 is a pretty normal age range here in MAL, I joined MAL when I was 14. I'm sure there are a lot of older users here, it's just that younger users tend to be more active. I try to get along with younger users and not act like I'm older than them like I am their senpai. |
| don't even worry about it man, it's the internet, if they can't handle your elder swag then they need to go back to fucking mirkwood |
| I CELEBRATE myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you. |
| Anime generally targets teenagers hence why highschool is a main setting in anime and teenaged main protagonists are extremely common. There are 20 + users though although not all of them would be active in the forums http://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=25565&q=20%20and |
 |
| Age is just a number. Sometimes these "kids" can remind you of your original drives and see things from different perspectives. I happen to be a kid to the most part. I still mess up and don't know how to do lots of things were all growing up everyday your just at a different point. Notaneko said: 20 is the new 10...or something like that. If I acted my age, my life would be so boring. I agree man see you around the playground! |
 |
| But, if one of them you're talking to is a female you can have yourself a real life loli. I'm just going to assume that you like Loli so why not talk to 12yr old children. |
| Another user already said it, but teenagers and young adults are the targeted demographic in anime, so it only makes sense. Thought there are plenty of adults on here too. Myself included. I'm 26 (I'll be 27 in 2 months), and I still use this website to track anime I'm watching. |
| Im an adult bro. And animes are aimed toward kids. |
 |
| No clue what you are talking about. Most of the users are in their late teens to mid twenties. |

| I haven't seen that many kids on MAL. Maybe it's just you, OP. |
 |
| Not just by OP, but by (nearly) everyone's standards. The point is, from what I've seen, there aren't that many kids on MAL. I have seen a couple of kids on MAL, but I've seen a lot more adults. |
