| bruh |
| If you're male some people might think you're a creep, but that's just the people who think anime is all weird/perverted anyway, so fuck them. |
| If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that. |
| It'd be more interesting to hear how a 60 year old consumes anime but there wouldn't be any social stigma. Also even if there were some kind of stigma does a 60 year old have any genuine reason to care about social stigmas of that type at all? Like what crowd would they be trying to impress by hiding their hobby at age 60? |
| Something to keep in mind is that the popular cultural image of what a "60 year-old" does and doesn't do, dresses, acts like, and so on, isn't some unchanging concept fixed in time, but changes with the times. A 60 year-old alive today in the year 2021 grew up without the internet. For someone born in 1990 or 2000 or 2010 who eventually reaches 60, this will not be the case. You should not base your expectations of what most 60 year-olds of the future will be like in this respect in terms of cultural exposure and level of familiarity and ease of access to diverse mediums of entertainment and communication based on the limitations imposed by technological constraints some 60 year-olds would have today imprinted by their upbringing. |
| If you are the type who is looking to see if there is an age limit to being an anime fan then you are clearly not as big an anime fan as you would like to think you are - There is and will never be an age limit to being a fan, there is no age as to when you start being one and there is certainly no age restriction on the type of Anime that you enjoy... the only limit is on yourself and how long you can or want to be an Anime fan whether it's for one day or if it is until your final day in this life. |
 |
| I just turned 30 and I don't think I'm stopping watching anime yet, cuz theres still a lot of great anime to look forward to in the future. |
 |
| Contrary to what society may think, I believe you're never really too old to watch anime, just like you're never too old to watch film and play games. It's just another type of hobby/pastime. Is there a social stigma if you're a 60 year old anime fan? Yeah probably, if you're openly expressing your love for anime as an elder, since that might make you look like an outlier. But then again, maybe not, because millennials and Gen Z people love anime more than baby boomers do, and might never lose interest in anime despite growing older. If people have a problem with you liking anime when you're old, then that's their problem for caring about something so trivial. It also partly depends on how old you are exactly, and what your favorite anime are. For example: If you're a 60 year old man who's favorite anime is Love Live, then chances are, you're probably going to get some weird looks from people lol. |
| Never too old for anime! I used to preach that on my profile lol. Seriously though, remain open minded and have fun! People get bad rep for liking things that are more catered to youth as they get older, but it's really not that bad. People expect you to conform to society and such, so you're definitely gonna get weird looks/opinions while being older as you were younger. Take it with a grain of salt b/c as long as it's not creepy then it's honestly all good. |

| I don't think it matters. The important bit is if they enjoy anime or not |
 |
| It really doesn't matter. like what you like. love what you love. as long as you ain't hurting anybody, you aren't ever too old or too anything for whatever it is you enjoy. |
| I've seen people in their 70's watch and talk about anime even my grandma who is pushing 80 like some anime |
| When I watched RePrincess Connect and the overpowered and sexually irresistible MC chosen one drops straight up wisdom such as "Duh, work good. Money good.". Then the elf chick expounds on lore for twenty-five minutes, I knew. I knew we had reached the insurmountable pinnacle. Tldr Eh, do whatever you want. |
 |
| 90...? i guess. idk yet, havent reached that point yet. |
 |
| Depends. If it is One Piece, you already born too old for that. |
 |
| eh i personally don't think there's any age that's too old to be watching anime. |

| Are you ever too old to not enjoy a certain form of media? I don't think so. Anime has varied genres that cater to the tastes of the young and the old, watch as long as you're enjoying it. |
| It's never too late. Age is just a number. |
 |
| I don't think there would be a certain age where you are considered to be "too old" to be watching anime. Watching Anime is almost identical to watching movies or TV series. Everyone can watch enjoy them no matter the age. |
| I don't think their is necessarily an age limit, I think just in general life happens when you get older like kids and work so you might not have the time to devote to anime like you use to |
“You flounder through life, struggling desperately so you won't drown, even though you would float if you'd just relax.” |
| "Do you think a 60 year old anime fan would carry a social stigma?" Even a 12 year old would carry a social stigma putted there by peers if he/she liked the wrong non popular anime, so yeah...People judge others by some weirdly thought out criteriums. For example I like to pass for anime veteran but other veterans refuse to give me street cred for skipping Evangelion, Utena, Ergo Porxy, Lain and similar... |
I feel like we get this thread once a month.... Media like literature, art, movies, tv, etc. has no age limit. i would literally not even question it if some one rose from the dead then went back to watching anime. well no I would question the coming back to life part, but not the watching anime part. @alshu that's because they are probably full of egotism. anyone who self proclaims themselves a "veteran/elitest" in any type of entertainment medium be it books to anime smells full of egotism in my book. can say I've enjoyed anime for a very long time, but I don't go claiming "veteran/elitisms" status in any entertainment medium. just like I dislike the "pro gamer." term. it just leave s a foul taste in my mouth from how much egotism such mentality must have. if you like a book or game or anime you like it if you don't you don't simple as that. dictating what people should and should not like in such a medium is a pointless exorcise. |

| https://myanimelist.net/profile/spacecowboy Just see the number of animes this guy has watched in total. Gramps still going strong even at the age of fooking 91. So, age don't really matter as long as ur doing what u love imo. |
| Doesn't matter, anime is a form of media and entertainment, if it's ok for 40+ year old people to be enjoying movies and shows then it's completely fine for them to be enjoying anime as well. |
| I think 1000 is a good time to stop. When you reach that age, other things start to matter. |
 |
| When you die is too old to be watching anime. |

| I'm 62. Is there something you want to know about people my age, particularly with respect to being an anime fan? |

Conceptualhero said: Do you think a 60 year old anime fan would carry a social stigma? i would think that a 60 year old is old enough to do whatever the fuck they want. seriously though, you're never too old to have fun. who cares what's considered "normal"? i'll probably be watching anime till i die, and i don't mind at all. |
| I don't think I will stop any time soon.. there is just so many great animes out there! I am currently 28 Check out my Etsy <3 |
 |
| Of course it would carry a stigma by the ignorant and people who frown upon anime. It's up to each individual on what they would do about it. Persoanlly, I wouldn't care since I don't gate-keep enjoyment. I would think it would be awesome if my 60 year old dad watched anime. |

TsubasaWoKudasai said: I don't know, most anime is geared towards kids and young people, so maybe 30s? And thats where evengelion comes because kids be too dumb to enjoy it or understand it :0 |
| This thread reminded me of GrumpyJiisan, If he was anything to go by then there is no age limit. |
Conceptualhero said: Do you think a 60 year old anime fan would carry a social stigma? No such thing as too old for anime. That said if a 60 year old was watching digimon or Hello Kitty then I might look at him weird. |
| I intend to watch anime till I die, and then when I come back to life as a zombie, my zombie self will probably continue watching anime. |
| Give or take 35+ because after that you will not find time to watch as life catch up to you Job, family and relationship is there to deal with so casual fun is allowed till it's completely off. |
| 2023 might be the year where I will be happy. This year is not happy year. |
| No such thing as too old to watch anime. I intend to upload my consciousness to the digital world so that I can watch anime forever. |
 |
| No age limit. It's just like adults/seniors watching disney/pixar movies, but anime instead. |
