| You shouldn't be friends with that person if he can't respect the things you enjoy. In fact, you're not too old to watch ANY type of Cartoon. I have a friend who's 18 but still watches kid's cartoon and I find it wholesome. |

| no one is too old for anything. some people grew up watching anime and it's a pretty common thing to be extremely obsessed with anime or even a typical watcher regardless your age, especially on mal you'll find people of all ages. but the real question here is, why is this in aot forums lmao |

Anayan_Kashyap said: JaniSIr said: the gore, violence, characters and everything perfectly fits the seinen demographic, just because it don't have naked rape/sex scenes so, it's a fine shonen. Still I wouldn't say it's a shonen tho. Although most seinen fans are young but it's more of a seinen, perfect for adult males.I would totally argue that it's a shounen. It's a very edgy shounen with a good story, so even I like it, but the way the main cast handles emotions, especially Eren is totally shounen for the first 3 seasons at least. In the 4th they kinda grew up, but ye... Levi and Erwin are good seinen characters though. Bringing up gore and violence in a shounen vs seinen discussion definitely sounds like what a kid would say to sound cooler. Like in my elementary school there was a club room with computers, and <10 years old kids were watching Happy tree friends (and actual IRL gore) to be edgy. Animated gore is pretty easy to get used to. And like the same for the horror genre in general, it's only scary if you don't interact with it, and then it just becomes boring. Anyway, got side tracked. Like there are seinen comedies, that you could give to kids without scarring them emotionally, but not understanding any of the jokes. And like a while ago I found that Armed Librarians: The Book of Bantorra anime, and it's literally a battle shounen, just with a different, more subtle way of portraying the character's emotions. So while you could argue that little kids shouldn't be watching gory stuff like AoT, it's not a show that would require the life experience of an adult, because everything is so in your face...(Making Eren annoying in the process.) |

| You're not too old for anime just like you're not too old for any tv show, your friend just doesn't understand the medium |

| 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. |
 |
| Not at all. I'm in my 30s, and watch more anime now than I did ten years ago. Granted, my tastes have changed, but I still love the medium. |
| Yes you are. It's time to retire and put all this entertainment behind you. |
 |
| No one is too old for any kind of hobby. I'm also 22 and I enjoy anime, never thought I was too old for it. |
| I sometimes forget to finish my sentences. |
PocariSweet said: 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. There is no "too old" for anime. This ist just bullshit. Its like saying u are too old for movies. Just bc animation is mainly used in child shows doesnt mean animation is for childs. This ist just a dumb stereotype. If u like anime than you like anime, that doesnt make you childish in any way... ^^ |
| Once some classmates told me I'm too old to play Yu-Gi-Oh!...we were 10, lmao. Point is that certain people will always feel the need to label something as childish simply because they don't happen to be into it. That's actually childish. I'm 24 and anime will probably always have a place in my heart. |

PocariSweet said: If you're still thinking this way perhaps you're actually not old enough. Who tf cares how old you are enjoy what you love regardless.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. |
| I am 25-28 age range. I am surprised this demographic is so small on the poll tbh. No age is too old for anime btw. I started watching anime at age 4 (kids stuff). |

| Your friend is an asshole |
 |

PocariSweet said: I am 24 going on 25 this year and i know plenty of people in my age group that watch anime. You are definitely not to old for anime.... though imo you cant really ever be to old for anime if its what you like to do just like any other hobby.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. |

| 22 is still young. If you were 45+ then maybe, but seinen is aimed primarily at 18-30 year olds and there's still plenty of people older than that who watch it. Even if you were so old that it truly was weird, does that matter? If you're enjoying it then who cares what other people think? |
  |
| I don't think you're old at all lol. Anime is for everyone |

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. |
