| Even when I'm 200 and my brain is floating in a jar, I'll still have anime directly transferred into my mind. |
 |
| The ideal is not to even start watching. ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧ |

| Winners do not quit so I say it is never. |
| I've been watching anime since I was a child in the 90s, and it has been a constant comfort for me throughout my life. I must have been only 3 or 4 years old, lying in bed with my mom late at night or early in the morning, captivated by the English dub of Gundam Wing. That's my earliest memory of watching anime. A few years later, around the age of 6 or 7, I was drawn into the worlds of Dragon Ball Z and the original Dragon Ball, followed closely by Naruto and Bleach. Now, at 30 years old, anime remains a profound passion. It has shaped my identity and played a pivotal role in my journey through life. The stories, characters, and emotions have inspired me, comforted me during difficult times, and fueled my imagination. Anime is not just entertainment to me—it's a part of my soul. I can't imagine my life without it, and I know I'll cherish it forever. |

| "Is there a point where it's considered "weird" or "immature" to still be into anime?". From the moment you start, pretty much. "Is there a "good" age to quit watching anime?" Yes, whenever you feel like it. |

probably whenever the industry moves past you and you find yourself suddenly upset at the vast majority of content beign produced and saying things like "back in my day"
| @Timeline_man I guess that can be solved by the person watching stuff from "back in their day" |
| No such thing. Just like any other form of entertainment... as long as you're entertained, who the hell cares. I will mention though, that as I "mature" [I'm still a punk ass kid at heart] I tend to naturally stay away from entertainment aimed at kids and teenagers - school theme, first love romance, overtly hopeless horny vibes - and instead gravitate towards the more philosophical and absurd material (avant garde, psych, sol, etc). And... it's true that as an adult you have more responsibilities that fall into your lap, so stupid time management increasingly plays a part into how much anime you consume. |

can't yuck my yum  |
| Quitting or growing out of conventional shounen is easier. Growing out of conventional shounen is easy because it's too mainstream, same with most superheroes. Avengers sure got old fast as well. At this point! I'll just stick with mecha, anime written for older audiences or read obscure graphic novels. Obscure manga and alternative comics over advertisement based on stupidly mainstream, monotonous novels any day of the week. I disagree with some middle-aged geek the other day saying that she grew out of mecha. Growing out of mecha is a piece of cake if it's monotonous like Call of Duty or first-person shooters which is well-known for being way out of style, super monotonous, formulaic, etc than the genre could ever hope to achieve. At least mecha anime does something new every once in a while. Mecha anime doesn't have to be the same product all the time. Same geek should stop complaining about some sci-fi anime she doesn't like and grow up. Saying that Captain America: The First Avenger being one of her most cherished movies is an automatic time to grow up. So five minutes ago as well and it also aged poorly because of the dialogue, overall lack of tension, repetitive fighting, etc. Like what are you? An infant? Learn how to read graphic novels too. Many of those obscure ones with great artistic potential, whether indie or manga, will never materialize any more than The Wild Boys: A Book of the Dead. A dystopian, futuristic story that puts Akira to shame (How the hell does a psychotic and telepathic ghost even give kids generic superpowers overnight? It makes no sense; superpowers more boring to me than those in Dragon Ball; ki energy over nonsense telepathy any day). I wish that my beloved Silent Möbius could get a complete adaptation with modern-day special effects. In general, changing your taste and growing out of normie media is easier than quitting anime. Maybe switching to graphic novels is the closest answer. The less advertisement for manga you watch, the better. |
| Whatever age you are right now, please quit. Seriously. |
| If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that. |
| There´s no such thing. Your tastes only will change with time. For example, I´m 36 and unlike 10 years ago, I rarely enjoy Shounen manga. I´m more into Seinen or just wholesome stuff to relax. Don´t worry about what others think. The "anime is for children" thing is a myth. Only adults can actually spend on anime stuff like figures and Blu-Rays, unless your parents really spoil you. |
| "Could you not talk with me? I'm busy breathing." |
| Whenever you find a job or a different hobby that requires a lot of skill and time expenditure, like illustration, 3D modeling, music making... Oh, wait... That's done with AI nowadays... Shit... Ok, then a good time to quit anime is when you get your first gig as a plumber. |

Not one set in stone, it's all social convention after all.
The newer generations have less of a stigma against animation (If you could say they still have a stigma at all) (Things such as X-Men 98, Invincible and that new Superman animation have been quite popular in the mainstream lately, no?), so you could say that nowadays there isn't really one.
| @thewiru Western Animation is still seen as childish (with good reason) and now its unpopular unlike Anime so bad examples lol. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| What's a good age to quit watching movies? Reading books? |
 |
| WHY IS THIS A QUESTIONNN Anyway, imo age doesn't matter, if you think it's time to move on from anime then do it |
 "It is only when a mosquito lands on your testicles that you realize there is always a way to solve problems without using violence" -Monke |
| No. That doesn't make any sense... My mom didn't start Anime until she was 53. She's 70 in October. She's completely finished over 460+ series already. She's become cultured enough to realize it's the superior form of media entertainment without debate. At least for the past 10-15 years... |
| The better question is what age you are going to stop creating these terrible threads? |
 |
| 21, next week for me @kioshi @megumin @oofmastre9000 @playfulcloud88 @ame @justicebastard @kamijou @animeistaken |
 |
| Idk, probably like 18. I'm a good bit passed that but still haven't given it up yet for some reason. |
 |
| 18 Quit before you destroy your life😔😔 |
 |
| DONT WATCH ANIME, ITS PURE DEBAUCHERY |
 |
| i'm in too deep so i'll stop when it stops being entertaining, so probably never. that's like asking me when am i going to stop watching movies and western series. why would i stop? there's anime designed for different age demographics and there's always going to be new gems waiting to be discovered. |
 |
89............................................................................................................................................................................................. maybe 90 |
| Why stop watching? No reason? We'll see to that when we lose a reason |
 |
| Why is there an age limit for a hobby? |
 |
| >What's a good age to quit Anime? Before birth. |
| The age where you're no longer interested in anime. |
| What's a good age to quit Anime? Sometime Between Never O' Clock and when the Earth finally Crashes into the Sun... |

| When you feel like it, and if you want to come back, come back when you want. Life is too short and painful to have those kinds of restrictions on yourself. |

| @mikelpel64 I don't watch that much anime anymore, but I want to get into Manga. I might watch those few series that I still think they can be very good. |
| Till your last breath, keep pumping those anime juices until you fizzle out. |

No.
That doesn't make any sense...
My mom didn't start Anime until she was 53.
She's 70 in October.
She's completely finished over 460+ series already.
She's become cultured enough to realize it's the superior form of media entertainment without debate. At least for the past 10-15 years...

| @HulkTySSJ2 That is awesome that your mom is still an avid anime watcher, you are never too old to start! Did you recommend something to her or did she just find out about anime on her own? My mom is also 70 and she knows nothing about anime besides asking me if I still watch those chinese cartoons and I am too old to be doing so 😅. |
