You can watch anime I whatever age, saying that at a certain age you are "too old" is dumb.

I'm 22 and I've been enjoying anime ever since I was a kid. Don't give a crap about what other people think. Those people are immature in the fact that they can't think for themselves without getting approval from society.

Most MAL users here are at their prime in their 20s in terms of taste and anime watched. So I guess you are not old.

My friend said being 22 is too old for watching anime? How old are you guys right now? Maybe knowing it can give me some kind of closure.
.

No one is too old for anime and being older can make understand tht show more better. Ngl that anime is on par with many Netflix series and anime like Cowboy Bepob, Evangelion, Attack On Titan, Black Lagoon are all fall in seinen genere, which is evolved form of shonen but is more matured, complex, and realistic storyline specially made for adults. Remember nothing is too late to start and starting anything new doesn't have age limit. If u wish ur a hardcore weeb anime fan like me, u can continue on ur journey to experience much greater masterpiece. If u like it, chase for it no matter what age ur are at, ALWAYS FOLLOW YOUR HEART. : )

There are many anime that have very adult themes. You could even enjoy childish anime for the action scenes etc. That being said if you enjoy the childish parts of anime, yeah it might suggest you're immature and you might want to solve that issue. Being immature is not the biggest problem one can have by far but it's still a disadvantage in life.

Now excuse me while I go rewatch digimon season 1 for the 2nd time this month as a 28 year old man (⌐■_■)

You let your friends decide what kind of entertainment you should enjoy ? As we grow up we get little free time that's why we don't watch as much anime but that doesn't mean we are too old for it .

it depends on the anime tho. AOT is basically a seinen just published under a Shonen magazine so it is considered as a shonen.

Aot is 100% shonen, if you think something bloody,gore = seinen then i would say you are still a newbie.

No really, it can be enjoyed at pretty much any age.
That said, don't just dump your friend like that; he might simply associate anime with 'cartoon' and have a few stereotypes here and there but its not so offending that you immediately need to destroy your friendship.
This is prefect advice on the matter. Some people just grew up with negative stereotypes about adults watching anime. Its not anything that cant be fixed and definitely shouldn't be what ends a friendship.

Yeah, I said that coz a no. of people were telling him to dump his friend. Anime would be a pretty stupid reason to end one's friendship, especially if it is a friend in real life.

Any medium that has existed for more than a couples decades is likely to have content aimed at different ages.

For me, saying a person is too old for anime is like saying one is too old for movies. People who think you can become too old for anime most likely have in mind anime = shonen.

Your friend should realise the hypocrisy of worrying what other people have an interest in, it’s very childish. P.S my Nan is 82 this year and watches Attack on Titan with me so take from that what you will. (She also Loved Death Note and a few others) a good story is a good story or should we just not watch any movies or tv in general after 18?

no one is too old for anime.
there are people's grandmothers who absolutely love anime

one of the best things about anime is that it brings together people of all ages to enjoy the medium, and that there is something for every age. if 22 was too old for anime, then why do we have demographics like seinen and josei?

Ok so like what is the actual point of this thread? What if everyone here said "yeah man you are too old now to be watching this shit" would you then stop? If so then you are pathetic simple as that. Either way are you too old to be doing something you enjoy? that's how you should ask yourself this question.

Short Answer: No /thread

Long Answer: No. The idea you can be "too old" for anime is fairly immature and close-minded as it implies anime isn't a medium for mature storytelling. Even though there are many series and even entire subgenres that make someone on the outside looking in have a bad impression on what anime can offer, someone would have to be truly mad to say something like Legend of the Galactic Heroes or 1997 Berserk are immature or childish. Simply put, if a story resonates with you or is something you find of high quality with a good idea as to why, it doesn't matter what the medium it's conveyed through is.
