| No, Hell i am going to be, naruto is not gonna be finished until i am 30 + same with things like bleach so i will pretty much still be watching evenif it ends up as just those, Anime is a media style, its like asking, will you still read books at 60? |
| My parents always taught me not to talk to strangers............Well, that went well didnt it? |
| In my opinion if you still live with your parents after 25 and they are SUPPORTING you, then maybe its time to stop watching anime lol. As long as your able to support yourself and function as a human then you can watch it until your death imo. |

One of my friend's younger sister has a teacher who watches anime. Now, anime has a broad variety of genres but I can't help thinking that most people will focus on something more cute, which I definitely think gives off a bad vibe if you are a teacher if you know what I mean. Ehmm... I am older than 25..and I am a teacher.. and I love anime. Can't help it. Sure, people--even my closest friends-- think that I'm a little weird. I've given up trying to abandon anime since long ago. I don't see a reason why teachers who watch cute anime suppose to give off bad vibe.. It doesn't have any bad influence to me as far as I know..Watching (cute) anime doesn't make me do criminal things. Trust me, there's no Kokonoe Rin in my class even though I also teach 3rd grade ^_^ |

| Nope. I'm 49 and love. I also know people older than me that enjoy anime. |
| What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about? |
| Nah |
 |
| If it's not those slice of life, ecchi, hentai, kawaii stuff.. then no, I wouldn't find it weird. There are some quite amazing action, thriller, psychological, horror, etc animes. |

| As a 25+ person.... am I being called old? xD No, I know quite a lot of people older than me that watch anime, and there's all kinds of people. Some enjoy mainly the most popular stuff like SAO, SNK, Death Note and shounens, some have watched more and developed a taste (some more similar to me, some different), people who work (from temp workers to CEOs), people who study (a good number of careers)... so no, I think it's absolutely normal, and it will get more and more common with time. Years ago you didn't find older people that much into anime because they really didn't have the access people have now (starting with the people of my generation and some a little bit older). Anime wasn't much of a thing in the West before the 90s and there was obviously no internet, so people didn't get much into it. Specially since the second half of the 90s, anime became quite common on TV and eventually, internet came and people began downloading anime. Newer generations that are still 20 years or younger pretty much don't know life without internet and have had access to anime since they can remember, which will definitely translate in a lot of "older" people watching anime in the future. |

| Nope. There is no specific age limit one should stop watching anime. I know I don't intend to once I get that age or older. |
| I'm already older than 25, I still watch anime. (And play video games.) Not too old for fun. |
| I'll be there in a year and a half...so I hope not. |

| So who watch seinen anime? The only problem is that you will critisize more the actitudes of the characters Rezurrekt said: Personally, I don't really think it's weird although I can't really picture people older than 25 years enjoy watching anime with their free time.

Now, yeah of course the people who make anime shows are usually in their mid-30s and up but I sort of think of that as a different demographic. I am just talking about a casual everyday working/non-working person in their late 20s and up. I would really like to hear from someone who is older than 25 about this subject. How old are you now?? Also at 25+ is when you start behaving like an old person. You come back home from work totaly destroyed and open the fridge take a drink and a pizza and sit and watch anime (or football, or porn ;) ) till you get sleepy Mod Edit: Merged duplicated posts; please use the edit button. |

| I don't think it's weird, now it would be weird if the person spent ALL of their free time just on anime. |
| Mod Note: Necroed discussion moved from Forum Games. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| my father watching it even some new anime so? |
| Na it's not weird (I'm 26) considering the content for a lot of anime has adult themes and a large amount of manga writers and animators, voice actors, etc are well in their forties it isn't weird at all. Anime isn't Dora the explorer, now that would be weird lol. Berserk Claymore Elfen Lied Code Geass Death Note Just to name a few |
| I'm 44, and I am a weirdo, but that has nothing to do with it. All my life, I have been interested in animation as an art form, and I have always liked good stories, weirdness, and comedy, so anime is a natural fit for me. I'm sure I will still be watching it when I'm far older and even more decrepit than I already am, and it will help to keep me entertained while I'm laying around in a retirement home waiting to die. |
| It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue. |
| I am 25+. And no, it's not weird. Just because you're older doesn't mean you suddenly stop liking things you used to. Same when kids think people shouldn't be playing videogames when they turn 20. Like, you what? |
| I am currently 20 years old and I can honestly see myself watching anime in 5 years so no, I don't find it weird. |
| Insert philosophical quote or exceptional picture here. |
| Oh yeah? Well I'm 30...so suck a fat one OP! |
| I'm 27, your argument is invalid. |
| Seriously who cares what people do in their free time... I find it extremely pathetic that people still allow "social norms" to rule their lives or dictate their actions rather than doing what they like.. |
| man, people who posted in here in 2011 might be 25+ by now D: |

| lol how pathetic must you be to be watching anime at that age? .... |
| i know 30+ yo people who watch it. so no, not weird even a little bit |
 clickable▲ |
| I'm 25, I stopped watching anime a few times when I was younger (teens in high school because people made fun) but went back and now decided to continue to watch it and screw what other people think now. I'll watch what I want. |
 |
| I'm 65. Does that answer the question? |
| Well, you're almost there now OP. How does it feel? |
| I remember my 20s when I thought of useless shit like that. Good times. |
grandy_UiD said: lol how pathetic must you be to be watching anime at that age? .... Yeah, all these old anime fans should act like Normal People and watch sports while drinking shitty beer. Bonus points if you try drugs and think you discovered a new frontier. |
| WEAPONS - My blog, for reviews of music, anime, books, and other things |
| I am 25 currently and plan to continue watching anime for many years to come. I grew up with it. I still watch cartoons as well. You're never too old for anime. Maybe except if your a 70 year old watching ecchi or lolicon... I'd maybe think that's a bit weird :P |
 |
| i will keep on watching anime forever if they continue making it so no its not weird one bit |
| I'm turning 25 next week and know people older than me who still watch anime. I don't think it's weird and I don't understand why people would think that. As long as you have fun with it. |

| No it's fine because after all if I go to a Pokémon TCG tournament and see people in their 40s and up playing, then it should be fine with anything XD...back on topic now, I'm going to be 25 in 5 years but I really don't see myself stopping because of all the variety anime offers and I enjoy anime. |

| You realize that the people who watched stuff like dbz in their childhood are around 25 or older right? Some people area really dumb. |
 I don't watch as much anime as before... |
TheBrainintheJar said: grandy_UiD said: lol how pathetic must you be to be watching anime at that age? .... Yeah, all these old anime fans should act like Normal People and watch sports while drinking shitty beer. Bonus points if you try drugs and think you discovered a new frontier. [joke] Normal People are a terrorist group that is banned in my country. People are legally required to be addicted to something, so those of us who aren't gamers, anime lovers, drug addicts or something are forced to drink vodka a lot. [/joke] Seriously, anime is a form of entertainment, and people want entertainment at any age. The fact your grandfather prefers reading lengthy books just means that books were popular when he grew up, not that you will be required to read lengthy books when you're his age. Unless your preferred form of entertainment stays locked in a "animation age ghetto" (see TVtropes) by over-active legislators, like western cartoons tend to be, there is no reason for you to abandon it as you age. Remember - your favorite authors also age at the same rate, and make things for older audiences. Also, as you age, you would be less willing to adapt to stuff, and more willing to continue doing whatever you're used to doing. Personal story: I'm 29. I watch anime. I don't have as much time for anime as when I was in the university, because I have a proper job, but I still watch anime. I no longer have the patience for long-running shounens, but I do have patience for slice-of-life cute-girls-doing-cute-things. |
StreetSmartz said: i dont think so. at first i thought "well thats a creepy" but then i imagined myself if i was 25. I wont be addicted but watching it is fine |

| I'm bloody older than 25, I'm still watching anime and reading comics, and I have friends who's exactly the same, some of them do it even more than me. So no, it's not weird at all. It's a bloody entertainment, what's else I supposed to do when I'm alone and need to rest? Meditate? Sorry, not that Asian enough. |
 There is such thing as shit taste. Only idiots think that every "work of art" should have the same value.  Persona anime are good. Deal with it. |
| I think tastes change with age. I myself started late with anime. With 19/20 years. So I never watched anime aimed at children. Neither One Piece or Naruto or something like that. My obsession with yaoi made me watch anime. So I still mostly watch yaoi shows. But since there are not much yaois out there, I watch other genres. Mostly historical, psychological or drama. I like he 'mature' shows. I marathoned MONSTER. It was great (I study in Heidelberg and recognized the amazing backgrounds/artwork). I wished there were more shows like Monster. And yes, I agree. It is a hobby. So it's not bound to age. I am sure there are much more 'childish' hobbies out there than watching anime. |
| Ah, that. No, being bloody fujoshi doesn't count as being an anime fan, sorry, luv. |

kitsune0 said: Ah, that. No, being bloody fujoshi doesn't count as being an anime fan, sorry, luv. Lol :D You are right I think. The Yaoi fandom is something basically different. Although the medium is the same. |
