I'd like to say yes, but as each year goes by my interest in anime dwindles more. I have my favorites, which I believe will never go stale, but my actual interest in anime will eventually go away.

Hell yeah. I'm going to be the guy who has anime day with his kids. Anime will never be boring to me no matter how old I am. (^_^)

I'll just enjoy anime while I can. I'd like to share the joys of anime in the future with my kids. They'll love them.

I'll watch it until I don't want to anymore. Hopefully it's a hobby that I can enjoy throughout my life.

My roommate actually just asked me this and he said that I'll eventually get tired of it. I told him that isn't going to happen.

As long as they continue to make anime I like or I keep finding older anime to check out I can picture myself watching anime when I am older.

Ask your roommate if he or she will ever tire of watching regular television. Watching shows is watching shows at least anime is based off of fully fleshed out stories usually.

Oh and I'm 30, have a full time job, multiple hobbies, etc and still enjoy anime ^_^ .

Television and anime are a little different. The majority of anime is specifically made for a younger audience. Television on the other hand incorporates a large variety of show's for a large variety of age groups.

Hmm...I started watching anime regularly when I was thirty so I'm already well past that point.

I see no reason to stop now. :)

Ofcource I will always watch anime, regardless if I'm older. Anime viewing much like most other hobbies has no age limit. As long as you enjoy anime you should continue watching it, regardless of your age. I'm always excited to see what new groundbreaking shows will be produced. I don't see why anyone would stop watching anime when they get older. If people stopped doing their favorite hobbies like watching anime simply because they are older, that would take some of the enjoyment of life.

Probably no.
Maybe focus on working to get lots of money then buy some anime stuff from e-bay which I wanted since I'm 15.
Can a 15 legally make a paypal in you country?
There is like 2 weeks delay in my recent reading list
I randomly bought discount/second hand manga with cute/mysterious cover.

I don't think age is a factor so yeah...I will probably continue to watch anime, but not as often as I do now. I don't see any reason to quit. =)

No age is a lot more then a number. It's about growing older and having personal experiences shaping how you look at things. It's impossible to know what the future beholds, so I don't have a clue if I will stop watching anime or now. I like anime now, though, and that is all that matters.

I can not imagine giving up anime there are almost no shows produced in America that I am interested in and none of the ones that I care about even have a plot that continues from one episode to the next meaning no waiting for a week to see who that shadow belongs to or what the outcome of the fight will be

I can't imagine ever losing interest in anime, no matter what my age. And when and if I have a family of my own, you bet I'll turn my children into anime addicts just like me!! I mean think about it, some anime teaches really good life lessons and might actual help kids learn to do the right thing unlike american cartoons with so much sensless violence and mindless stupidity like Fairly odd parents, spongebob, and Grimm adventures of Billy and Mandy.

If I still want to, then yes. But I wouldn't force myself to just because I told my younger self that I'll watch anime whatever age group I'm in.

I can see myself watching Anime when I'm older, even though still young and a freshmen in College. I can see Anime as a hobby even if I grow old, I can probably still watch it with the next generation like how people can still see a Disney or Pixar movie and still enjoy it as a old person.

If I ever live long enough to have kids, I believe they'll be expose to Anime to a point in their life; whether if it's on tv or the net. I wouldn't mind telling them my youthful days experience with it.
