| I already am an adult...so yes, yes I would. |
| I'll probably never stop watching anime tbh |
| I guess yeah.. There's heck lotta anime I want to watch but I barely get the time (;-;) |
  xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo So many anime, So little time! |
| Going on 25 here. To be honest I've always liked animation in general, and my tastes aren't limited to anime ( I also really enjoy animated shorts, whether from pixar or some independent unheard of animation studio, and I often go to the movies to see animated films etc) so my opinion might be a bit biased, but I can't ever see myself growing out of anime. Sure, my tastes evolve, but I'm pretty sure I'll still be watching anime in 10-15-20 years. |
| Yes, I'm 可愛い as fuck. |
| There are a lot of adults, including adults over 40 years old, who still watch and love anime. People who attend anime conventions, for example, are probably adults with good jobs because it cost a lot of money for the convention ticket and the cosplay, as well as the collectables, etc., so I imagine most of those people have good jobs, and a lot of them are adults. |

| I started watching anime when I was in high school. I'm in college now and I still love watching anime. Granted, I don't have nearly as much free time as I did before (which might contribute to other people falling out of the hobby) but I still try to watch whenever I can. This usually means late night binges on weekends and staying up until the sun rises, though. But as far as I can tell, I don't think I'll ever want to stop watching anime. I went to Comic Con for the first time this summer, and I had a blast. There are so many people who like anime (a lot of them older than me) so I think it's safe to say there are a lot of adults who have continued to enjoy it. I mean, it's no different from asking someone if they'll ever stop watching TV. Anime is such a diverse medium, it's not like you can ever really get bored of it (maybe if you can't ever find the right shows). For most people, it's more of a past-time than a casual hobby; something that's just a regular part of their life. |
| I'm an adult, I have responsibilities, and I like it, so to me it's not a "would" anymore, it's already a fact. |
| Very recently I turned 21, guess society considers me an adult now or rather young adult. I still love anime, maybe more than ever and I don't plan to stop. Hope I will contine to enjoy anime with 30, 40 or even 50 xD |

| Yes, I would. Just like with music and films. Nothing different. |

| I hope so. I don't know what else I'd be doing as an adult. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| Don't forget, you're here forever. |
 |
| I never got into anime before I became an adult anyway. |
| Avatar character is Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut. |
| Yep, i love it now and i'll still love it when i'm older. |
| My tastes in anime shows may change, but I doubt I'll stop watching it well into adult hood. |
| Yes. I still love watching korean cartoons. |
 |
| I like how you're asking the question with the precedence that people are not adults here. But yeah, I definitely stopped enjoying anime as much as I did when I was 12-17. I will still enjoy favorites of mine despite age, I think? |
| I started watching Anime during my pre-teens, and am now in my mid-20s, so yes, yes I will. |
| As someone in their 50's, I can certainly say that I absolutely hate being unable to stop watching anime. All those ecchi anime I've watched have burned permanent boob images in my big screen TV, and now I can't invite friends over to watch the big game.[/sarcasm] |
 You're never too old to watch anime. If I ever stop watching anime, check my pulse I'm likely dead. I wake up with coffee & anime, I go to sleep with coffee & anime. Sorry if my sarcasm is bad, it's not my first language. |
| I actually fell out of love with anime and manga during my highschool years. It was only after my 18th birthday when I started getting really back into it probably more so than I had ever before. |
| I'm 21, began watching anime the summer before I started high school, and I still watch anime. Deciding not to watch anime because you reached adulthood is a silly reason. You may not be able to watch as much, but that's life, I guess... |
| 42 here and still watching anime. I have had a few burnout spells where I fell away from it for a bit but always come back. |
| I don't really think I'll stop watching anime anytime soon, but you never know I guess. |
 |
| Probably yeah, anime has become a part of my everyday life now xDD |

| I'm already an adult and I still hang around on mal, so what do you think? Do I still watch anime? lol |
| I watched most of my anime in my 20s and I'm turning 29 soon and I don't plan on stopping so what was the question again? |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| I'm 21 and watching anime is still my main hobby. |
 Ｓｗｅｅｔ♥I guess, as long as I have life, all I can do is fight with all my might. |
| I can safely say it's in my blood. My mother always enjoyed Calimero, Alfred J Quack and several other co-produced shows. I don't expect myself to ever grow out anime. My taste changes all the time and perhaps one day I won't like the genres anymore which I currently enjoy and hold dear to me. But I don't think I'll ever grow out of animation and anime specifically. Perhaps one day when I become too old to read subtitles or when I obtain dementia/alzheimers/ALS then I may grow out of it simply because I won't be able to understand it anymore. But I don't expect to be 40 and hate anime or find it childish all of a sudden. |

| I think when people are young they're more inclined to give lots of anime a go, as you get older I think it becomes a little harder to find anime that really impress you. I took a break from anime for two years but I'm back now on the hunt again for stuff I'll enjoy. I do think as you get older that perhaps you get disillusioned with a lot of stuff that comes out season on season, it seems a lot of it is very throwaway to me. This is just my opinion, however when I find something I really love it reminds me how much enjoyment anime can give me. |
| As long as Good Anime and Manga exist. |
| Pretty sure cosplay shows plenty well that just because you become an adult doesn't mean you have to stop enjoying something you love. The people that tell you to "grow up" are just trying to force their own miserable views of reality onto you. That or they genuinely don't know that the people in movies are all acting a role for the viewers entertainment. The majority of the movies people love never actually took place in reality. They we're just fictional characters played by real people. No different from anime. Games too can be viewed that same way. I will be 27 soon and I still love anime, games, cosplay etc. Age doesn't make a bit of difference. |

AnimeFreak-San said: has your taste in anime changed with age at all? First, I had to have an understanding of what my tastes were, that takes some time, and I'm still learning/refining that. So does learning how far, and in which areas I can stray from my initial "comfort zone". To answer your question.. to an extent, yes it has. My tastes have expanded a little to include stuff I likely would have disregarded when I first got hooked on anime. |
| You're never too old to watch anime. If I ever stop watching anime, check my pulse I'm likely dead. I wake up with coffee & anime, I go to sleep with coffee & anime. Sorry if my sarcasm is bad, it's not my first language. |
| I'm 22 and I watch more anime than ever before. |
| I don't think age has anything to do with anime just that your taste may differ a lot and you may watch different genres. |
| Probably, or maybe I'll trade anime for a cool adult hobby, like boats or tomatoes or something. W h o k n o w s |
| Eww, of course not. These chinese cartoons are for kids ya know. |
Please learn about cel animation and its technical process. Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers. |
| I don't wear a hood but I'm down for watching anime. |
| I am an adult. Well I've become a lot more picky and I don't watch as much anime as I used to but I still like it. |
| I'm 26, and surely, a lot of things have changed since I was 17-18 (when I seriously got into it). I've become so much more picky, and I tend to drop a lot of series in favour of my actual adult life. But there're still shows I want to watch every week, those I fangirl over and even sometimes make AMVs with. And my desire to watch some older anime appreciated by many fans never went anywhere, I just need to find time. |
