Do 40 yr olds or 50 yr olds watch anime?
| In japan yes cant say about other country |
 |
| I watch anime with my mom all the time. It's not really a big deal that someone older is watching anime. It's like saying anime is only for young people or something, but it's for everyone. |
 |
| Once you start watching anime you can't stop, you don't want to. Oji-san! Gambare! |
  "You shall fall in love with someone who doesn't love you. For not loving someone who did" |
| Well ThatAnimeSnob is 33 and he probably won't ever stop watching anime. |
| I know a 50+-old woman who loves shoujo anime and Rurouni Kenshin. ........in fact, I borrowed RK from her. XD SeibaaHomu said: So yeah, you can 're-evaluate' my asshole. Well said, sir. |
  |
| 40 yr olds and 50 yr olds make them lmao |
| My brother in law is in his mid 40's and he still watches anime. Not as much as I do but he still watches it. |
| I do not see why they wouldn't. Age isn't a restriction. |
| anyone can watch and enjoy anime, leave it at that. |
╮ (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.) ╭ |
| I'm 30 myself and i'm sure when I hit 40 or 50 i'll still be watching anime hopefully with a waifu of my own XD but anyhow I have a friend who's 70 and still watches anime so even though it says 40 or 50yr I think i beat the game for having a 70 year old friend still watching xD |
| Well , I'm sure plenty of old guys who started watching anime earlier still watches anime. And I occasionally bump into them in this forums too. So , I think they do. Though I'm pretty sure they won't like the same ecchi harem shows I watch. :D |
 |
| Yea, I know a lot of dads who watches One Piece. I don't think there's many 40+ ppl who watches obscured anime though |
| I'm missing the option "Well i'm not around that age group but i do think so." |
| Give me 20 years, and I'll give yes as an answer. |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
| https://www.youtube.com/user/GrumpyJiisan/videos Pretty sure the guy has passed away, but quite the cool d00d. |
| My uncle is 65 years old and he frequently watches anime. His favorite series is Spice & Wolf. |

| My Mom and Dad are both in there 50's. My Mom likes the first series of Pokemon because she watched it with me and my sister when we were younger. She likes Speed Racer and Astro Boy because she watched them as a kid. She never really got into any anime besides those though. My Dad watched Speed Racer as a kid, he has rented Appleseed and Ghost in the Shell in the past and he did watch a little of Pyscho-Pass with my sister but overall he doesn't watch much anime. I have a friend who's whole house hold is obsessed with anime and her parents are definitely in there 40's or 50's. I don't really know her family well though. I don't really know anyone besides my parents (which don't watch much) and my friends parents that are that age that watch any though. |
| Pfff...my uncle is over 55 [ I don't remember ], but he watch similar animes to mine where there is a lot of ecchi/harem/action....[he does have a wife which I personally hate [ that b**** hates cartoons & me with a passion ] ...btw I think that most of us [ when we all be like in our 50~60's will still be watching those cartoons...atleast all anime will be full 3D CGI.... |

| If you want to know, ask me in 10 years. |
 |
| I'm 45 and I watch anime all the time. Even growing up with the horrible English Dubs they put on TV in the early to mid 80s here(i'm in America), I still watch it. My taste range all over the place. About the only anime I won't watch are sports animes or the slice of life that deals with middle school or high school. Everything else is fair game though. |
| My mom isn't a huge fan of anime, but she likes Astro Boy, Cowboy Bebop, Kimba, Castle in the Sky, Magical Princess Minky Momo and The Adventures of Hutch the Honeybee. She's more into classic western cartoons like The Pink Panther, The Little Mermaid, Bambi, Saludos Amigos, The Three Caballeros, Looney Toons, Scooby Doo (up to the late 70s) or Thundercats. |
| Anime is made by people that old lol, why the hell would people that old not want to watch it? LOL and yes i know a decent amount |
   |
| My friend's dad is in his late 50s and he watches anime on netflix quite a but, I think he finished FMA:B not too long ago. I'm going to be 30 soon and I still watch it, with no plans of stopping in the future, so I'm pretty sure my answer will be "yes" in the next ten years or so. |
| I know people that grew up in Hawaii and California in the 70's that still like anime today that are over 45 years old. |
| Came up on this thread while googling something else... I am 41 years old and still watch Anime. Been watching for 24 years! And in another 24 years... I'll STILL be watching Anime. |
| They removed all my recommendations because they were "funny"... No joke. |
| Yes. I actually know a mecha anime forum where a lot of the posters are in their 30s-40s. But then again, mecha is really a genre more enjoyed by older fans since we don't get too many good mecha shows these days. |
| Maybe.... But I plan to still watch anime even if I reach that age lmao. |
   |
| The age of a person really doesn't matter. If I stop watch anime, it won't be because of my age but instead because of my lost in interest in the medium. |
Jan229969 said: I can't tell if this is fake or not...I'm 40 never watched it as a child, but I binge watch it now. Just started about 6 months ago and I'm watching everything I can find.I crunchyroll, Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu my favs. I'm the mother of 7 and very busy but I enjoy my late nights with a quiet house and currently working through Inuyasha, started with maid Sama and host club. I keep track on my MAL app, but feel very alone in this hobby and interest. None of my friends or spouse enjoy this hobby with me. My 15 year old daughter is the one that got me started, but none of my other kids like it. |

| My father started with the first french emissions showing japanese animation (Cpt.Harlock, UFO Robot Grendizer, Space Pirate Cobra). Then he watched along me in the early 90s what I liked (I remember recording Dragon Ball/Z the morning when I was a child for him to watch it after work or at the end of the week). A few years later, I started to order VHS/DVD boxes and he sometimes watched along depending on the content (things like Slayers were OK while he dropped Evangelion when it wasn't about giant robots anymorz :D ). After that came my years of highschool where my friends provided me an orgiac quantity of fansubs along my own new DVDs. some of those, he watched in the few years that came after (action/fantastic/sci-fi pieces, mostly the entertaining ones to the detriment of things like Lain). He tried to follow Hagaren Brotherhood but the hours and quantity of episodes were'nt compatible with work. Same with One Piece, I had introduced it to my little brother who rewatched it later dubbed on TV, it was shown during early evening but in large chunks (10+ eps). Maguro-chan said: There's also the issue that in general most 40-50 year olds don't really participate in online communities, again some do but it's not as common for them as it is for younger people who grew up with the internet. It's not like having no Internet activity prevents you to turn on the television. |

| Why shouldn't they? If an anime is good, watch it. Don't let your age hold you back. |
| WEAPONS - My blog, for reviews of music, anime, books, and other things |
| Don't see why they wouldn't be watching it. It's made by people that old. I'm sure I'll still be watching anime in 20-30 years time. |
 It's an entirely different kind of flying, altogether! It's an entirely different kind of flying. |
| Yeah I would assume and probably when I have reached that age, I will be watching anime |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| In japan it's not so uncommon (maybe they read more mangas though) but there non Japanese people who watch amines, but I guess most if them love mainstream |
 |
| My grandmother, who is sixty six old, loves Berserk, Death Note, Code Geass, and Monster... I'd say so. >_> |
  |
| My nana is in her late 60s and we've watched Fullmetal Alchemist, Higashi no Eden, Shingeki no Kyojin, and Tonari no Totoro together. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| Even if I become old and wrinkly I would still watch Anime lol :3 |
"No matter what painful things happens, even when it looks like you'll lose... when no one else in the world believes in you... when you don't even believe in yourself... I will believe in you!" |
| Of course, there are billions of people over the age of 40. It's unreasonable to think none of them watch anime. |
 |
| Proabably not so many just now. Becuse anime was not really a thing when they were 12-25 years old in the west ;). But all you guys will proabably watch it as you get older so it will be more people when you guys are all 40-50. For example. How many people in 40-60 is named. Amber, Sebastian, Kevin and so on. |
| Late 30s and just started watching anime. Not sure why I didn't do it sooner..... So yeah, we are real ;) |
