| You can watch anime I whatever age, saying that at a certain age you are "too old" is dumb. |
| Most MAL users here are at their prime in their 20s in terms of taste and anime watched. So I guess you are not old. |

Maybe knowing it can give me some kind of closure. No one is too old for anime and being older can make understand tht show more better. Ngl that anime is on par with many Netflix series and anime like Cowboy Bepob, Evangelion, Attack On Titan, Black Lagoon are all fall in seinen genere, which is evolved form of shonen but is more matured, complex, and realistic storyline specially made for adults. Remember nothing is too late to start and starting anything new doesn't have age limit. If u wish ur a hardcore weeb anime fan like me, u can continue on ur journey to experience much greater masterpiece. If u like it, chase for it no matter what age ur are at, ALWAYS FOLLOW YOUR HEART. : ) |

| There are many anime that have very adult themes. You could even enjoy childish anime for the action scenes etc. That being said if you enjoy the childish parts of anime, yeah it might suggest you're immature and you might want to solve that issue. Being immature is not the biggest problem one can have by far but it's still a disadvantage in life. Now excuse me while I go rewatch digimon season 1 for the 2nd time this month as a 28 year old man (⌐■_■) |

| @PocariSweet https://myanimelist.net/profile/spacecowboy Aight! This answers it. |
| and he said that based on what exactly? like did he used to watch anime and now he thinks he's matured? because I had a friend like that who shamed me for watching anime, then I found out that she was secretly watching ALL the generic mainstream stuff. |
| You can never be too old for anime. |

Anayan_Kashyap said: PocariSweet said: it depends on the anime tho. AOT is basically a seinen just published under a Shonen magazine so it is considered as a shonen.Sorry I’m new to MAL and don’t know where to post this or how to make a better poll. My friend said being 22 is too old for watching anime? How old are you guys right now? Maybe knowing it can give me some kind of closure. Aot is 100% shonen, if you think something bloody,gore = seinen then i would say you are still a newbie. |

| 27, you're never too old for anime. |
Light_Yagami666 said: RioFS said: This is prefect advice on the matter. Some people just grew up with negative stereotypes about adults watching anime. Its not anything that cant be fixed and definitely shouldn't be what ends a friendship.No really, it can be enjoyed at pretty much any age. That said, don't just dump your friend like that; he might simply associate anime with 'cartoon' and have a few stereotypes here and there but its not so offending that you immediately need to destroy your friendship. Yeah, I said that coz a no. of people were telling him to dump his friend. Anime would be a pretty stupid reason to end one's friendship, especially if it is a friend in real life. |

TheFounder131 said: You joined 4 years ago, so how are you new to mal? Anyways you are never too old for anything. Don't sweet the details lmao xD |
 |
| you are never too old for anime but one thing is for sure that you will lose interest ni anime |
You all have to undrestand that Chainsaw man is impossible to adapt without CG. |
| Can you ever become too old to enjoy good entertainment? |
| well that's just my opinion..... |
| Bro my dad who now 50+ came up to me and mentioned a new show he was watching. "I think it's called Attack on Titan? You really should check it out." I busted out laughing man, you're never to old to enjoy entertainment. |
 |
Nurguburu said: Well there isn't much difference though, but still that number's for something else.Softhenic03 said: I'm 20 myself, so I won't say you're too old. I thought you were 18 all this time since your username ends in 03 = 2003 lmao. |
| Age doesn't matter. Just enjoy what you are watching and that's it Wanna watch some kodomo anime? Go ahead, connect with your inner child, enjoy it the same way you did when you were a kid watching toonami on tv. PD: I'm 29, turning 30 this year. |
| I will continue to watch anime when I'm 80 and in adult diapers |
PocariSweet said: Your friend should realise the hypocrisy of worrying what other people have an interest in, it’s very childish. P.S my Nan is 82 this year and watches Attack on Titan with me so take from that what you will. (She also Loved Death Note and a few others) a good story is a good story or should we just not watch any movies or tv in general after 18?Sorry I’m new to MAL and don’t know where to post this or how to make a better poll. My friend said being 22 is too old for watching anime? How old are you guys right now? Maybe knowing it can give me some kind of closure. |
| @PocariSweet go to a anime convention and remind yourself of this question. Pretty sure you won't think like this again. LoL |
| MALoween✟Mansion (2024) Candy Basket 🎃: |
| i'm gonna put this simply; your friend is, no offense, an idiot. no one is too old for anime. there are people's grandmothers who absolutely love anime one of the best things about anime is that it brings together people of all ages to enjoy the medium, and that there is something for every age. if 22 was too old for anime, then why do we have demographics like seinen and josei? |
 |
| Never too old for anime |
| Feel free to DM me on discord // Pop#8675  |
| i do think that if you're like 25+ watching shit like Is The Order A Rabbit you definitely weird..however I think even people who are like 18 watching that are sus |
| There are married couples who overreact to anime on youtube so I think you're in the clear OP, anime is for anyone really |
| Damn, you all in your early 20s making me feel like a grandpa, lol. |
 |
| began watching in 1999 and will never stop. |
 |
| Ok so like what is the actual point of this thread? What if everyone here said "yeah man you are too old now to be watching this shit" would you then stop? If so then you are pathetic simple as that. Either way are you too old to be doing something you enjoy? that's how you should ask yourself this question. |
| Thread moved from Anime Series Discussion to Anime Discussion. |
| https://www.youtube.com/c/Food4Dogs Like age has anything to do with a hobby. I'm sorry to say, but I truly hate people with this wierd thinking, they are living in their own fantasy world, maybe time to knock som sense in him or her before it's to late. |
 |
| Noo :( Anime is for everyone and everyone can enjoy it |
 |
| I'm 34, I don't think anyone is too old for Anime, but I do kinda wish I got into it earlier. |
