| Why did you say not counting the Japanese are you implying they get a pass for liking anime as old people? Anyways there is no age limit. I'm pretty sure there's someone in this forum who is like 50 or 60 even. In fact I wish there were more old anime fans because I hate children. |
 |
| When I am 80 years old I'll still be vibing to whatever CGDCT slice of life anime is big at the time. Honestly, a lot of old people would probably be happier if they used their free time to watch anime. My Nana doesn't have any real hobbies so all she does is obsess over the news & gossip about church drama with her old lady friends. She's currently stockpiling food for the impending "liberal takeover." Nana, take a chill-pill and watch some Yuru Camp. It will be okay. For the good of society, we should start a program to convert more old people into anime fans so they have something to do other than obsessively consuming political misinformation on Facebook. |
| I started anime when I was 8 Currently I am 19 and have no plans to stop it. Even if from now I will only be watching 2-3 seasonals only & no binge (cuz shitty ass college), I will still continue animu Now answering the question, there aint no limitations fo anime. At the end of the day its just a hobby. And hobbies require desire not age |

| I turned 40 this year and watch more anime now than ever (apart from the lockdown ofc) as it's so easy to access. As other users have already said a lot of the reason I got into anime just over 10 years ago was the easy access to anime on demand with streaming services. When i was a kid I was only able to watch cartoons on Saturday morning tv once a week and the odd anime film or DBZ ep on satellite tv at a mates now and then, so suddenly having access to this medium is like a hoard of treasure for me. There's so much variety so my tastes have evolved over time and I don't get bored. There was a recent thread titled '25+' that asked the same question as OP and there were so many replies from older anime fans here on mal, many of them just don't post much on the forums. |
 |
| There's a variety of anime. Some meant for children. Some meant for teenagers. Some for adults. And some for even older. When there is such a variety, then there is no limit in terms of age. |
| There is, that is when you know you're old enough to touch grass. |
| I don't think so, personally I got into anime more as I got older. Everybody's different of course but I don't think there's an age limit. |

| Hobbies and interests don't have age limits. I became a lot happier when I stopped thinking I was too old to like things. |

| You and me personally don't know anyone over 40 liking anime but I know some or many people that has already aged still loves anime, because I will also. There's just no age limit to stop liking the things you like, and there shouldn't be. |

| I’m 32 and still enjoying it. I’d watched on and off in my younger years mainly through Toonami and Adult Swim. But, I didn’t really pick it up seriously and really get into it until 28. I’ve personally enjoyed every second of it, and am proud of it. Most of my casual wear is anime related, I watch at the gym while doing cardio, I have stickers on my car. I don’t really have any plans of ever dropping it completely, as it’s a hobby I highly enjoy. Things do change though- and who know what my mindset will be in 10 or 20 years. |
 |
| there's no age limit to liking anything, my friend. growing old is inevitable, but growing up is optional. |
| Everyone knows only kids are allowed to enjoy fun stuff, once you're a grown up the only acceptable hobbies are watching sport and hanging out at the pub, being an adult isn't about doing what you want it's about acting the same way and liking the same stuff as each other. |
| Ah yes, thread #23761521045353263259078347698578946359 asking if there's an age limit to consuming a specific kind of media. This has been answered in the past >_< |
 |
| There really isn't any age limit to this type of stuff. As long as you enjoy it, why does it matter how old you are? |
Henrique-Senpai said: I've been thinking and I don't think I personally know anyone over 40 who likes anime, do people stop liking it at a certain age at some point in life? How old is the oldest person who likes anime that you know, and do you think you'll like it forever? not counting the Japanese of course. I'm 44 as of this post and will be 45 on April 6th 2023. I got into anime at age 2 before I knew it was anime (first show was GRENDIZER) and from the point I knew it was anime was from age 13 in 1991. I have over 100 DVDs and about 18 Blu-rays (I still prefer to own my stuff) and have about 30 VHS still. My 17 year old daughter was named after the Perfect Soldier Fyana from the 1983 Mecha series Armored Trooper VOTOMS and she's into select anime (a fan of the show of her origin) and currently loves Golden Kamuy... My 13 year old son is a huge Sailor Moon fan and we watch that together, soo. The start the 1973 show Cutie Honey together, but recently bonded over Konosuba, GATE, Kimetsu No Yaiba. My almost 81 year old father still watches anime with me too, his favorites being Hokuto no Ken (Fist of the North Star) and Souten no Ken (Fist of the Blue Sky) and GOLGO 13. MOMZ is almost 76 and still watches anime, her favorites being URUSEI YATSURA and City Hunter. So yes old heads and current generation alike watch Japanimation / Anime |

| It is a more personal question. Just do what you enjoy as long as it doesn't impact you negatively or the people around you. |
 |
| People keep making it deep into their old age, so I don't see why there would be an age limit for watching it. |
on 
| you can "like" anime as long as you want. no matter what age you're in. hell, even my dad (44 y.o atm) still watches some shounen since his college days till this day. |

| I'm 42 and this is probably the most active I've been with anime since I started watching it when not even 10. No plans to stop now |
 |
| you are no longer allowed to watch anime once you turn 200 years old. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
lanphung said: ignore the feel good replies. You can't just keep liking kids' stuff past 25. What i means is you can definitely read older seinen stuff but as far as shounen is considered you should be relatively done with it I love shounen. I love battle shounen. Most of the anime I've seen are shounen. I like seinen too though |
|
| There obviously isn't an age limit. Anime is a medium, like movies or novels, and those don't have age limits either. Obviously, all mediums have different genres and demographics and what not, but in a general sense, there is always something for everyone. |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
| Almost 30 and I can't see myself stopping watching. I don't watch hollywood movies or series, so time will never be the problem. Also anime evolved so much so it's stupid to compare it with something that only children or teens would watch. |
| No, why it should be? All people in different ages watch anime. |
 |
Henrique-Senpai said: No there isn't. You just grow tired of it. It depends on what age it happens to you, or you might never get tired of it in which case you still watch it but like one show a year I've been thinking and I don't think I personally know anyone over 40 who likes anime, do people stop liking it at a certain age at some point in life? How old is the oldest person who likes anime that you know, and do you think you'll like it forever? not counting the Japanese of course. |
| Why would there be an age limit, and why should there be an age limit? You'd be surprised at the number of people over the age of 50 that read manga, and watch anime. It's also my understanding that in Japan, it's not uncommon to see the elderly in bookstores browsing manga. |
 "Are you intoxicated, or just insane?" |
| No, I don't think that there's necessarily an age limit for liking anime. It's entertainment, and it's for everyone! I don't know if I'll like it forever but I think I probably will! I don't know these people personally but I've come across adults over 40 who like anime. |
 |
| You don't know anyone who likes anime that is over 40 coz anime wasn't popular 40years ago. In 60' there wasn't any one over 40 that liked rock music. Did baby boomers stopped liking it when they aged? no. |
| maybe because the oldest generation to grow up with internet forums etc being a thing are 90s kids which are at most 32 but like. i dont think all of them will stop liking anime. and im sure there are anime fans from even the vhs 80s era (?) and mailbox fanclubs or something. theyre just probably not browsing mal at... 50? idk. but you shouldnt stop your hobbies just because of age, wtf. |
  |
| I thought most people in MAL were above the age of 30 boomers. |

| I've been into anime since I was a kid. Don't think I could see myself without it in my life. |
| My dad is 52 and still watches currently airing shows so no, there isn't. |
 |
| Age is just a number. There is no age limit to liking a medium entertainment. You can still like anime when you're in retirement age (60-100 yrs ++). |
 |
| it is the same as live action tv shows and movies to me... i don't really see how age matters. |
| It has nothing to do with age. Some people are consumed by their anger, and their hearts have hardened. Others have been abused at a job they'ved worked for 30 years until they die on the inside and have no place for joy in their lives. A few are graduate students who are so desperate to pay off student loans that they spend 80 hours a week working at a university and have no time or energy for anime or any other fun thing. If we continue to invite these poor lost souls to watch our favorite anime and read our favorite manga, we may be able to save one or two and show them that: This is the Way. |

| If it's just normal anime consumption then no, not at all. infact a lot of shows such as slice of lives and things such as sazae-san that air in japan are aired at all ages and such. although if it's something completely degenerate such as a 50 year old man with a loli pfp and a user like "loli savage" then that's major red flags i can imagine i'd get tired of it years and years later, sick of the same tropes and such etc etc but i'll stick around for as long as i can who knows about others |

| No of course not. There are adults who still watch Pixar movies and enjoy them. If an adult can be hyped for the upcoming spiderverse movie then he can watch anime. Both are animation and the only difference is the country they’re produced in. Besides, anime has the seinen genre which is pretty much geared towards adults. |
| we don't care, watch any form of media if it's the only entertainment you have. |
 |
| Sadly I am already losing interest in the medium at 21 lmao |
