| I'll hold out for Tomino, even as these wrinkles crease across my aged husk. Well, I'm still a young buck. fuck anime |
 |
| I'm 30 too, but the way things are with the anime industry, I don't watch as much as I used to. I'm more into dark and gritty entertainment nowadays, anime or not. In other words, I'll just be waiting for the right new anime for me as long as possible. |
| Almost there but i'm not really sure. |
 |
| If I was asked this at 14 I would have definitely said NO. But I don't think it's possible for me to get away from anime at this point (and I don't want to either). |
| Ahah; usually peoples understand that the whole idea that you need to "abandon something you like because now you're too old for that, you need more mature hobbies" is just a misunderstanding of young adults and it's lost before they reach 30, I'd say. Young adults easily fall into the trap of thinking that they need more "adult" hobbies and stuff because they're no longer a child so they need to act mature on everything and so on. When you grow older you see things differently. You only have one life so it would be silly to abandon something you like just because "it's usually for peoples younger than you" as long as you still can enjoy it. Once you don't enjoy it, then it's time to search another hobby, but until then? That would certainly be unwise ;3. |
 |
| Absolutely not. Anime is love, anime is life. I'll still be watching anime long after One Piece, HxH and Berserk are over. |
 |
| I grew up watching anime when I was a kid so I don't think I would quit watching it. But I do find myself watching less since I'm more motivated to watch K-dramas or lakorns nowadays. It's more like I feel a bit old to still be watching high school-ers which is always in anime/manga compared to dramas, which are more likely to have 20-30 year old actors/characters I can relate to. |

Ugh, yeah I would definitely let you enjoy quality Japanese animation even if you got children and household to care for, and I would even assist you. Not hinting at anything but. Haha I'm sure I'll do as you said unless my future husband is close minded and prevents me to watch anime. :( |
|
| Now why the fuck would I stop one of my primary hobbies which I love so much? I mean I give priority to my hobbies more than my job so I don't really see any reason to stop watching anime. |
 |
Daniel_Naumov said: Not hinting at anything but you might have already met him y'know... Freaking where?? Lol hell, never dated an anime fan before nor my exes were into anime! Haha. Unfortunately in my own country when you say that you're an anime watcher they stare at you like you're an alien or something. |

I don't even know you lmao. |

| I am 35 at the moment, not planning to drop anime. Still enjoying shows but i am a bit less tolerant towards fanservice and such. |
| Barely watching anything, but maybe I'll tune in once or thrice a year. Most likely short shows with fanservice, mecha or idols. I'm a bit too old to waste time watching talking animated heads. If I want a more indepth narrative exposition, I'll just read a VN. |
| I turn 31 in may and i get more into anime by the year. I have no plans of stopping, hell it'll take me 2 lifetimes to watch everything that i need to catch up on and then there's even more shows coming out every season so i'll be watching anime till i die and still not get to watch over half of what i want to. |
| Nearing 30 and still really enjoying anime, even the really bad ones. I have no plans to abandon whatsoever and I don't think I ever will til the day I die. The only thing I worry about is how higher priorities from personal life later down the stretch may change or compromise how often I can watch or talk about anime, though. |
 |
| I think nobody is truly ready to become 100% adult |
 |
| My age is what's funnier than 24 but no, I tried to consider it but I just can't see myself abandoning this, Anime has now become more than a hobby to me. It is a part of me now, Anime is Love, Anime is Life This is my swamp now lol |
 |
| Nope, still following this industry. It just I'm just downgrading myself from following them too hard, thats it. |

| I'm 37 and currently I'm watching more anime than even before and it feels super! I don't have any plans to drop my favorite hobby. ^_^ |
 |
| I am 22 and no. Not really. Anime is just like a medium of entertainment for me just like any other so not planning to stop. Though, I don't binge watch it anymore or even pick many seasonals |
Psajdak said: I was on MAL since almost its beginnings, when I was still a teenager, but time flies when one has fun, and now I am in my 30s. I have a decent job, am responsible as an adult, and I can't really complain about anything about my life, but being 30 IS kind of, well, being 30 - I don't mind my age (in fact, there were times when I felt much worse when I was young), so I kinda wonder about my manchild inner self, I guess... Like, despite my age, I still think, dunno, that Vegetto from Dragon Ball series is fucking cool, that Omegamon from Digimon franchise is badass, and so on. https://myanimelist.net/character/170671/Vegetto https://myanimelist.net/character/10229/Omegamon In fact, in some way me being at the start of my 30s, and this being the start of a new decade, I am as optimistic as ever about anime, and wonder what will future bring - there MUST be at least something good. So anyway, what about you guys, are your 30s the end of everything anime related, or something else? Are you ready to become 100% adult? Dude you were implying like being an adult means leaving behind an entire medium of entertainment just because it is animated. I am offended. To be quite frank, I still find some Anime to be more mature than some of the Netflix shows everyone brags about |
| Watching Anime is just like watching a movie or listening music why would people stop enjoying things they like after 30, I definitely won't. |
 |
| When I was young I was out clubbing and meeting girls etc. It's only since I hit my later 20's that I had the time to start watching anime. After experiencing FMA I got hooked and dived in to the anime medium head first. I had a big binge in my late 20's then life got in the way again. It's only been in the last couple of years that I picked anime back up when I had more time on my hands again. Since then I've gotten into watching seasonally airing anime, something I never did before, and I love it. It's a new experience for me seeing all these great shows coming out every season. I'm closing in on my 40's and enjoying anime more than I ever have atm. I'm making the most of it as I know that I can't watch anime forever, as other time commitments will undoubtably lead to me having less free time to watch anime. I'm resolved to keep watching some anime (maybe leave out the seasonal shows) even if I'm busy, because watching SoL & cgdct shows is very relaxing and a good way to wind down when I'm stressed. So even if I can't keep up with new anime I'd like to still keep a toe in the water so to speak. |

| You are out of your mind if you think I'm just gonna give up anime and sell all my figures and shit because I turn 30. What will happen? The imaginary girlfriend I have will think I'm weird? |
 |
| I'm fairly in my 30s as well, but that ain't changing anything. Even tho, I'm having family, job, some bigger plans anime stayed over all these years. And will stay no matter what. I think at this point is bit too late for us. XD |
 |
| I'm still young tyvm I'll stop feeling young when I'll be bald. |
 |
| I'm 32, and I still watch anime just as much as I did when I was younger, if not more. Also, I read manga now, which is something that I didn't do when I was younger. |
 |
| I will never stop. I find it enjoyable and it makes me happy. |
| Pretty much ditched anime already. I rarely watch any new shows. Sometimes I rewatch old shows but not many. I mostly watch films now. |
| Nope. And that's a silly way to approach it. Also, I'm a teacher and the students seem to love that I can talk to them about anime. |
   |
| Hell no. I've just started to discover really good things and still have too many in plans to watch to just give up all of this. |
 |
| I find that some anime is meant for younger viewers and isn't as enjoyable once you get older. There's also far less anime intended for older viewers and it becomes harder to find shows which are relatable. I'm not going to stop watching anime, but I do watch less of it and it's harder to find a show which appeals to me. |

| Turning 30 in July. The answer is no. |
Nemo_Niemand said: Hell no. I've just started to discover really good things and still have too many in plans to watch to just give up all of this. My sentiment exactly. I got into anime proper just over a decade ago, but picked anime back up in Spring 2019. There are so many good shows I want to watch that it'll take me years to get through them all. I'm currently going through a cgdct and 90's sci-fi/fantasy phase. |
|
| What a stupid post. Age should have nothing to do with whether you continue to watch anime or not. It's about enjoyment. It's like any other medium. If you enjoy it, continue. If you don't, stop. I don't really watch anime anymore, maybe 5 a year. I've pretty much all the good stuff already and gotten bored. |
