| "Don't say something is for children if wouldn't show it to your own child." No, it doesn't bother me. |
 I don't believe in the Devil. You should. He believes in you. |
| Best course of action is to sit them down and force them to watch the entirety of "Cowboy Bebop." |
| There's only one proper way: Agree, and then recommend them an anime filled with gore or sex to show their children. |
| Poyo. |
MrSpenfo said: There's only one proper way: Agree, and then recommend them an anime filled with gore or sex to show their children. This is the only right answer. Be like yeah sure anime is for kids. Have them watch Made in Abyss or something. I know some parents took their children to the Made in Abyss movies and walked out fairly angry. Sometimes people just are not that smart. |
 |
| I shake my head up and down in hearty agreement. I must say I always find it funny how people think gore and sex automatically classify something as for "adults", as if Gantz wasn't the first manga/anime a lot of people came into contact in their 12~15yo. I guess that's what you get when you publish Tokyo Ghoul in a seinen magazine. |

Yeah, both Gantz and Tokyo Ghoul are rated R, literally meaning that their target audience is adults, so I really don't see the point you're trying to make. Also, if sex isn't automatically classifying something as "for adults" then why do you have to (legally) be 18+ to watch pornography? Just because teenagers also watch something that has gore or sex in it, doesn't mean that they are its target audience. If you really think I'm wrong, make something chocked full of gore and sex, and then go on the street trying to sell it to "12~15yo". See how long it takes you to get arrested. |

| convince them to watch monster, or vinland saga. if they are too impatient just show them the first few chapters of berserk. and no I don't get angry. Because they are objectively wrong, and the only ones who would say it are the ones who have no idea what they are talking about. |

Devilman was published in a shounen magazine. Yeah, I think you're wrong. I know? That's why I fucking said, "Just because teenagers also watch something that has gore or sex in it, doesn't mean that they are its target audience." Implying that people, yes, of course there is always a percentage of viewers who are not apart of a target audience. There is an entire demographic of weird old men who watch MLP after all. However, if you try to tell me that more teenagers are consuming porn than legal adults, I'm going to laugh in your face. I haven't read the manga, but if you look at the tags on the manga on this site, neither gore nor anything sexual is stated, the worst genre mentioned is horror. Additionally, the anime adaptations do NOT have the shounen tag on them, and they are rated R, so I really don't see the argument that you are trying to make. Also, I feel like you forget that the way people behave by age group changes over time (for example a couple centuries ago, it was common for 13yos to be getting married), so I really don't think picking a manga that is 50 yrs old makes for a very strong argument. Yeah, I think you're wrong too. |
| Poyo. |
| Do you people still care about this? |
 |
| I don't see a need to be insecure about that, being an adult is not about liking things it's about doing what you want (As long as its legal) and having the disposable income to do so, you just have to make sure your bills are paid and you're golden, besides only children want to grow up. |
| I really don't care. People have their own opinion and are entitled to it. |
"Nobody could laugh at someone who's trying their hardest" -Machio- |
I just give them an eyelid pull taunt: |
 |
| I'd say children are getting a damn good deal then. |
 |
| Who yall even arguing with? No way there are still people nowadays using that insult/opinion since anime has become mainstream |
| I say "let's agree to disagree". But before leaving, I'd recommend them some "children's anime", for them to check and see if they'd be willing to let their kids, watch them. |

ateks said: Deathko said: Why would I? 95% of anime is made for (men)children, that's a fact. And it's honestly not getting better as decades go. I can show a fair amount of 80s stupid shows to my dad and he'll enjoy them, but I'm not putting any trash 2020s isekai anywhere near his 60yo eyes lmao. edit: I feel like I should mention that I am watching anime because it's the last animation industry taht spits SOME products aimed at adults (and I'm not talking about hentai), so take my comment with a grain of salt. You shouldn't put any of your trash taste favorites near his eyes either. Yeah I should feed him the garbage eroticized lolis that make up 100% of your fav characters lmao. |
 |
| Actually nobody ever said that to me. But if someone do I'll probably ignore their opinion and try to change the topic. |
 Hope to find that distinct person. |
| I know this is off topic, but I have never actually heard someone say that |
Wolf children is actually a decent choice. The rest not so much. |
 |
| I would tell them to watch Death Note |
 |
| I would just agree and show them my beyblade collection. |
 |
| Nobody really said it to my face, and I think I would not react. I honestly don't care. I mean, I am 19, it's not like once you turn 18 you must stop doing what you enjoy if it doesn't hurt anyone, right? My parents usually laugh at me 'cuz I regularly buy Amazing Spider-Man comics and from time to time some manga, but I just say "Well yes, I'm a kid". |

| I've never heard anyone say that, and I don't feel see the point in imagining a made-up scenario to argue against. |

| Hm? They obviously do not know what they're talking about^^ Laugh for a bit, then just ignore them. |
 |
| I don't really care? People who care about such things just need the insert CS Lewis quote. Caring about whether something is mature or immature is the height of immaturity. Regardless of what some people might think what is true is from the 70s to now it has largely been a YA targeted industry. That hasn't really changed regardless of some fantasizing that anime back in the day was super mature it never really has been. Even for stories that are designated that way many seinen/josei titles still feel YA for me and even those I could say are adult aren't some massively insightful works. Not for kids but this has never been a medium aimed at adults either. I like YA media though so I still enjoy anime. To some degree I would argue you do need to enjoy YA forms of storytelling for this to be a long time hobby. The amount of actual anime I could say yeah this is aimed at adults is tiny. Honestly the amount of current anime made for kids is also funny enough tiny. Most of it is what I would define as YA or New Adult (YA like fiction often aimed at adults). So if I was being pedantic ass (which I often am) I would just correct them to say nah it's YA but I would never say anime is really a largely adult targeted industry. |

 Code Lyoko, we'll reset it all Code Lyoko, be there when you call Code Lyoko, we will stand real tall Code Lyoko, stronger after all |
| Just ignore idiots like that, they're not worth your time. |
| By showing them hentai porn or extremely gory anime. |
 |
MarkVijet said: I would tell them to watch Death Note Back when that anime was still relevant, anime fans told everyone to watch Death Note, regardless of age. |
|
| Why should I care what other people think about anime? That's all there is to it as long as I get to enjoy my hobby. If they're just trying to provoke you, there's no need to respond to their taunts. |
  |
| I'd wonder if they watch any cartoons/animated series since that too would be considered "for children". Oh, there's some that's for adults? Some that show heavy stuff, have darker humor and/or requires a more fully developed brain to fully comprehend? Wow, that sure sounds familiar! |
| Waiting for something to happen? |
| If you count anyone under 18 as a child, then yes, most anime is for children |
  |
its simple i will respond to them with this |

| I've still never heard anyone say this in my life. I guess I'll let you know what I say if I see this mythical person who believes it though. |
| Show them Prison School like I did with one of my friends in real life for their first anime when we saw it on the bus together and he was curious about why I was watching anime, something that he assumed was for kids. He definitely had his view expanded a bit to say the least by the end, and maybe a little bit weirded out by the whole thing as well in the end. At least we both laughed our ass off at it so he did enjoy it. |
| I show them the very first scene of Parasyte the Maxim. |
 |
Ryuseishun said: I show them the very first scene of Parasyte the Maxim. Kids will love that, they want to look mature, and they still have the misconception of edgy being mature. |
|
| You know if they're saying that, they're just trying to get to you or are ignorant, either way, it's not worth wasting your energy. |
 |
| I give them facts such as 45% of all anime titles are actually made for children, not 95% like many of the misinformed people like to say. The rest are made for teens and adults. This is going by demographic tags of all the anime listed up here. Also, according to the International Anime Research Project, 73% of anime fans are men, but that's based off people who attend anime cons but data from, Crunchyroll also supports that. I'd also name the many famous people who also watch and enjoy anime before finally simply insulting them. |
