1º: NO, YOU AREN'T. There's no age for watching anime
2º: send this "friend" of you to go fuck himself
3º: search for a youtube channel called Food4Dogs, your brain will melt.

I'm surprised there's people with less than 10 y/o voting lmao.

Anyway, according to the poll you aren't too old for it. I guess you'll never be; 25-28 here.

Absolutely not. Hell if anything getting into it when you're older is a good thing because you've gone through more shit and you're mature enough to find the meaning out of the stuff you like. I remember doing a binge on a bunch of anime i googled being the best (Steins;Gate, Black Lagoon, Serial: Experiments Lain, Elfen: Lied) and watched the first episodes of them when I was like 17 and i never stuck with any of those shows.

But then *boom* you're 20 you contact Cathy Weseluck for your bro that works in video games, find out she did work on the Canadian dub of Dragon Ball: Z, and the rest is history...

I think the overall consensus should be that you're never really too old for anything, it's just that you shouldn't be overly obsessed with it

I'm 36 and been an anime fan pushing for 20 years now. While I might be a bit more fickle with what I choose to watch and can't marathon through as much titles as I could do in my younger days, I still keep up with watching titles ongoing in current seasons and occasionally buy up whatever grabs my interest.

How can you even be too old for certain type of media?
Nobody wakes up with 25 and tells themselves: So, now I'm too old to watch movies. I'll never watch a movie again.

I'm 29 btw.

NO-ONE is too old for anime. If you say that someone is "too old to watch anime" then you must be equally against older people MAKING anime, or otherwise having ANY role in making it. Otherwise any point you could make is utterly invalid.

Anime is just another medium of television and film, of which there exists something for everyone, no matter how old you are, no matter what kind of stories you like.

I will admit, I'm less than a week from being 25-years-old, and it does sometimes feel like people would look down on me for still watching what they would equate to "cartoons" but then I remember: there are people in their 40's, 50's, 60's or older that have dedicated their lives to creating anime, lending their talents and passion to make them happen, and if there's nothing wrong with that, then there's nothing wrong with enjoying their creations, acknowledging the effort that went into making it.

I'm 33. I'll be 34 in a few months.

I'm currently in a bit of an anime-watching rut due to time and depression, but there's a lot on my PTW list that I still really want to get around to. So at the very least, 33 is not yet at the "too old" threshold.

Which is a dumb idea in the first place. If you enjoy something, you enjoy something. Age doesn't really factor into it unless it's something that specifically has no enjoyment value whatsoever outside of that age range (e.g. shows for really little kids that revolve entirely around rudimentary education). Proclaiming that you're too old or mature for something is, far more often than not, a sign of staggering immaturity and crippling insecurity.

This glorious signature image was created by @Mayumi!

I am the Arbiter of Absolute Truth, and here is my wisdom:

"Anime was always influenced by the West. This is not news.
Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people.
Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation.
There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime.
You should be watching Carole & Tuesday."

"My friend said being 22 is too old for watching anime?"

Like nobody said that anime is exclusively for little kids...even the intended kodomo shows can be watched by everyone.
If you are that much concerned about the target demographic go with seinen (for men) or/and josei (for women).

I am sure that here are people who are parents to 22 year olds or even grandparents to 22 year olds so I don't think you can be too old for your hobby.
If it is really hard for you to watch anime at your age you can always have kids and then pretend that you are watching cartoons with them. You have to check anime age rating first though because I don't think it is really good idea to watch AoT with 3y/o kid... :)

I am 19 but I have seen many people over 25 and even over 35 who watch and love anime. They are married, have kids, do jobs and stuff, yet still they enjoy watching anime.
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

Generally, people that are "too old" for something are just describing their lack of time once they have family/work/school to worry about. It's not really about whether something is still "okay" for them to watch.

I started watching anime when I was 11/12 and haven't stopped, I turned 18 a few days ago. There is an anime for every age. I don't think you can be too old for anime at any point. If you still enjoy it keep watching it.

No and I doubt you will ever be. Anime exploded due to Gen Z popularity and will likely be a medium catered towards Gen Z primarily for the rest of its duration. It's becoming so mainstream now that we'll be watching anime as a replacement for soaps or reality tv in 20 years time.
