Nah this is complete rubbish, just watch what you like. honestly monster is just a glorified batman comic, though a good one, and steins;gate is filled with otaku references and degeneracy, certainly something no self respecting adult indulges in It doesn't matter, my point is that there is no such anime that is for "cultured adults" or children, it is a form of entertainment and you pick what you like. It may be marketed for a particular audience but that doesn't mean that you can't enjoy it. |
| hahahahaahahah he is 18 and he is watching anime hahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaahhh |

| I'm 98 years old and still watch cartoons. You got another 80 years to go lad. |

| I think of him as another normal potato... |
| I'd say Welcome to the Club. I'm a 35 year old man who's been watching anime for 20 years. |

Could you say without a shadow of a doubt in your heart that The Passion of Joan of Arc and Madagascar 2 are equally respectable, and having one or the other as your favorite film at any age is not different at all |

| I wouldn't think anything of it, I think anime is for all ages it doesn't matter whether or not you're 18, 30, 24, or 90. :) |
Wyatt said: GyrosPizzeria said: A lot, maybe if you stop watching shonen you would notice them. what lol? i havent watched a shonen in like 7 years So you haven't watch One Piece for 7 yrs yet you still use Lufy as your signature? Also the moment you start thinking what age group should enjoy what type of media already shows that your mind is as immature as an edgy teen who thinks that watching those "adult stuffs" is cooler or something. (Note that edgy teen doesn't imply to all teens, so stop assuming you're being offended if you're a teen, only those people who fit into those description counts ) |

Why the fuck is everyone misrepresenting me so much? The One Piece manga is better than the anime. That is completely unrelated to the two mediums as a whole. Also, manga is way better than anime lmao. What? I can be immature for the things I like. Regardless of shonens, I fuckin love some anime, and anime is inherently immature, so I'm a bit of a kid for liking those things. There's nothing wrong with immaturity. Also im a teenger so i give myself some leeway for those things |

| Nothing, I am 25 and watch anime daily lol. |

Forget being 18, anyone who watches anime at any age deserves to be shunned! |
(Translator's Note: "nico nico nii" means "SHINY DAYS in My Pocket")  nico nico nii. |
| I won't think about anything. It's fine, OP |
 |
| Is this a legitimate question or a troll one? I would put money on the fact that 75% of people who watch anime are over 18 years old. I mean, I'm 25. |

Pixar is pretty good at this with films like Inside Out or Toy Story. Not to mention I would argue that LOTOR is one of the better representations of Western folk lore and that was originally written for Tolkien's children. It is my favorite book and movie period both when I was 9 and now when I am 20 and I actually appreciate it more after reading more about Tolkien's life and learning about other legends and history that inspired it like the Song of Roland. If you also read into it you can see how it expresses much of Tolkien's experiences regarding WWI as well especially regarding Frodo and his decision at the end of the story. Secondly I mean technically FMAB is only for teens but there are many themes touched on Imperialism, Forgiveness and even Social Darwinism not to mention even a Faustian Bargain and the consequences from it. Koi no Katachi is technically a shonen but deals with guilt forgiveness, suicide and many other themes that I wouldn't dub as childish in the least. Just because something doesn't reside in the Seinen or Josei category doesn't mean it can't communicate complicated ideas or themes. Also ultimately everything and anything can portray "deep or complex human emotions" it isn't limited to an age of appeal. The Chronicles of Narnia are just a massive allegory and exploration of the Christian faith and once again those books were for kids. As for your other reply if a man works hard everyday provides for his wife and kids, raises them with good morals and work ethic and then he wants to watch old episodes of Sesame Street by himself while his kids play outside. He is still mature and not childish in the least it would be childish only if he neglected personal responsibilities which can apply to even those that like older shows. Maturity has nothing to do with what you do for entertainment and more with how you conduct yourself. To be fair I don't think you are implying any sort traits to those who watch stuff like Pokemon and even what you have in your favorites does imply this but I just reject the idea that you can't have a work made for children be as equally impactful or complex as one for say adults. Also this quote: “No book is really worth reading at the age of ten which is not equally – and often far more – worth reading at the age of fifty and beyond.” - CS Lewis Honestly I would argue a good children's story is one that can be be meaningful no matter what the age and maybe are even more important later in life and I think the most highly respected ones are such works. |
