Considering only 6.7% are in that group so far, I think it makes sense. Although, I would be interested to see how many +30 or +40's there are.


yeah i should of put 26-29, 30+ instead of having 6-9 lol. no disrespect to you older heads out there. i think it's safe to say tho majority is young adults 18-21

I watch anime to be entertained, and to make myself feel smart.

I'm 19 which is probably about average. I don't have any particular reason for watching anime, other than it's easy to get into and that I'm so far involved with the anime community at this point that there's no going back. Also cute girls.

I'm fifteen, I enjoy mystery, horror, psychological, shoujo-ai, adventure, fantasy, and such like. I love Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica, and Soul Eater, if that gives some idea. (I know that doesn't cover all the genres I listed)

22 and I think anime is a bit better than whats on TV nowadays. Outside of anime I play video games mostly just JRPGs.

I've been more into Gundam/mecha/sci-fi stuff recently since I watched Code Geass back in 08.

first anime that I saw it was probably Yatterman, than of course Sailor Moon and so on

why I'm watching: it's entertainment, one of many ways to spend my free time while not to think too much about what I'm seeing :)

I watch for entertainment, escapism, enjoyment from the stories, all the typical reasons. It is my number one hobby. I like watching anime to unwind from the day, which is usually stressful and tiring.

I started watching anime when I was very young watching dragonball. Honestly it seemed like the people writing the anime took their artistry a thousand times more seriously than anything else I was watching then and I thought it was cool. There was no such thing as computers at the time. So when I finally got one I started watching more anime.

I watch the mainstream stuff but what I really like is seinen like Nisha Rokubō no Shichinin and Uchuu Kyoudai. Some of these stories like that are better than most hollywood movies. It's a shame that they don't get more attention.

Does that explain why I watch? if not, I guess you could summarize it by calling me a geek.

20 (21 in under 2 weeks) and I had only just started watching anime in the last year. I am quite sad because I feel like I have been missing out. Now I have a hard time watching anything that isn't anime. I like to watch all genres, so I haven't picked a favourite yet, but I do love comedy :)
I wandered through fiction to look for the truth.

I'm in the 18-21 (I'm 18).

I watch them because it entertains me and I absolutely hate most shows on TV, wish we could have an anime channel.

I usually prefer psychological/mystery/action/romance genres. I also like some shounens and slice of life.

I guess I also watch them to escape reality a little bit.

24, here. There are a lot of reasons I watch (still watch) anime. I love the art and seeing the style evolve over the years entertains me. I'm also a big fan of japanese culture and sensibility, so I like watching shows, movies and anime that represent it. I love the humor. Panty shots never get old. Giant robots will always be cool. But mainly, there's just a charm about anime in particular, that any other form of entertainment can not provide. It just makes you feel...comfortable, content and safe. I never really understood why. All of these reasons are completely different from when I first started watching anime, though. I only started because, at the time, there weren't any american shows with linear storylines...anime just knew how to hook you waiting for that next episode.

What kind of surprises me is the number of people who got into anime in their twenties. I usually expect people 22, or 23+ to have seen hundreds of anime, but sometimes that's not the case at all.

Same here, although I think I'm developing a decent base at this point. I've only been watching anime (regularly) for a little under a year.

I'm 28 and I still watch. It's amusing and I prefer the writing style of anime over alot of the TV shows force fed to us on TV.

It's obviously escapism too as it is with anything you watch.
