Upon thinking about this more carefully I will say

It depends on the universe and the characters themselves entirely.

I freaking hate that ship lol.

Loveless's ship was just as bad...no, it was worse by a lot.

That's not a couple that is a crime lol



TRUTH THOUGH. XD Please put Soubi's ass in jail. An adult man frenching an abused, 12-year-old boy is not okay with me in any context.

gotta be legal, bro. i mean i can handle it if the show's clearly positioning a illegal relationship as illegal and wrong or if it's pretty much a background relationship. ex: the girl and the teacher in cardcaptor sakura, it was only mentioned in a couple episodes out of 70 and they didn't do anything so its nbd to me

I don't care if it's legal and well explored, maybe even make things more interesting

It really really depends. I don’t like it if the gap is 20+ years, or if one of them is a kid while the other is a mature adult. Nuh uh. No pedos. Fuckin gross.
The dynamic of an older woman and a younger man is always fun, but again, not TOO big of a gap, because then it’s just scary.

OT: I'm fine with age gaps, Akane and Kougami is a ship I very much love, and there was, I think, an 8 year gap.

I like Makishima x Me as well, which has 9.

I'm pretty sure I've seen it for all four demographics and different genres. So yeah...it's definitely a common occurrence. The gaps aren't always 20+ years but at least 10 or so...

Akane and Shinya are (almost?) adults, so that's their business.

I must rather think of "loli and mature girl" of this cover ...

My mother instincts loudly scream at the picture alone: Jail her!
I found out through a review that they are supposed to be 19 and 15, which would be okay, but the girl looks like she is 7.
So the age is an excuse.

Can't say I disagree with you on that. He totally should've rejected her.
But I still don't like how people think of him as if he's some kind of a predator. He is obviously not. He's not a pedo either - as there are no implications he was ever attracted to younger Rin.


Nah, I don't think he's a pedo or a predator. I think just....the author is kinda strange. xD I thought the anime was cute...then I learned the true ending to the story and it ruins the enjoyment I had for it because now I can't stop thinking about it. :/

Ah well. One less show to finish.

I don't know if I can watch Usagi Drop with that knowledge anymore, even tho it's just in the manga. >.<

Because age gap is generally approved by most people as long as they are older to make proper decisions, like an 18 yo x 25 yo. It's pretty common in romance anime, I'd say 25% of romance I read, there's some kind of gap and the 75% rest are same age or close in age.

I mean I like it but it depends. For example, Yukari and Takao (Garden of Words) and Nariyuki and Kirisu (Bokuben) I think that's cute. I actually like the age gap because I believe milf is the superior woman. As long as it isn't incredibly huge like a 16-year-old with a 60-year-old. But I did think Tachibana and Kondou from After the Rain was cute because it was pure feelings instead of going after their lust.

I can't get behind this because it's still a power imbalance. 17 is still a kid to me. I'm in my 30s and couldn't imagine dating someone that young...it's just....icky. >_>

17- girl + 45- man is no, in my book. It's too much of a gap. It's also kinda creepy that the series is targeted to adult males...like it's a fantasy they have.

For what it's worth, After the Rain was my favorite show of 2018, although they didn't really develop an actual romantic relationship.

Not a fan but it depends on the character dynamics and bond.
As long as it's not underage, I'm fine.

The recent couple in MHA, La Brava and Gentle Criminal, even though they are supposed to be of legal age and there isn't that much of an age gap, but due to the character design, I find myself creeped out a bit. La Brava, despite her age, looks like a fucking kid, and Gentle Criminal looks like her fucking grandpa even though he is supposed to be still in his 20's (or 30's?)

I don't really care. By the current trends regarding aesthetics it's rarely apparent there is a bigger than socially acceptable age gap just by looking at the character designs and regardless of their age everyone acts like middle schoolers in romance anime.

Actually it depends. If the man is really lewd/pervertic, that relationship's gotta be illegal man.

If one of them is a minor the maximum age gap should be about 3 to 4 years, maybe 5.If both are over 18 then I'm fine with any gap under 15.

I don't like it. Even if one of them isn't underage and it's perfectly legal I still go squick. I'm not saying you can't have a story like that, but if you do, the chances are I'm not going to ship the couple.

i dont mind as long as its 2d. irl im tolerating it as long as both are adults, a 30 y/o dating a 60 y/o is ?? but i dont care - theyre both adults but a 20 y/o dating a 12 y/o is a big no.

but anime is weird bc anime characters dont really have a real mental age like humans have, i mean you have a 40 y/o woman whos a mother but acts like shes 8 (annoying) and then you have a 15 y/o who has the "mental age" of a 60 y/o. or some weird 500 y/o woman who looks like 10?? anime characters and age is ridiculous
i know there are some weird canon relationships with big age gaps in anime but i cant really take it serious since anime characters neither act nor look like humans and thats why i honestly dont care about age gaps in anime no matter how bad it would be irl lmao

Honestly in real life I also tend to go for older men.
I don't mind and don't think anyone has a right to really say anything as long as both parties are of legal age and it is consensual.

In Anime or Manga... I also don't care as long as no one is a Minor and it wasn't part of grooming. Like having two characters build a father/daughter relationship or w/e and once she becomes of age starts dating her (or even before...)
That just seems fairly creepy to me.
I don't think I could ever be in love with someone who I saw as my that kind of parent figure in my life.

I could've sworn I already made a post in a thread eerily similar to this one not long ago, but no, I don't have an issue with age gaps in relationships. (CAVEAT)

If a character is in a relationship with someone underaged, I expect that to be explored and not fetish material which most of it is anyway, so just don't do it.

AS long as they are above 18 that's fine by me. Like in real life, I don't mind if it's someone with a big age gap as long as both are adults, over 18, but if one is a minor that's a bit of a no go. Even tho I am sure I watched and enjoyed animes or read mangas where that's a thing....I think something like P to K or something like that...anyway, I still think it should be fine as long as both are adults.

The interesting thing is, age gap romance is not exclusive to anime and manga. It's also rather common in European stories. OLD ones.

Phantom of the Opera stands out as one of the largest examples. Many know it as the Andrew Llyod Weber musical but it was originally a French novel from the early 1900s.

The 'Phantom' Erik was an older, disfigured man, enamored with Christine, a teenaged girl with a lovely voice and he....well, he basically kidnaps her.

Tons of people shipped (and still ship) this.

But...there was a good 30 year difference between them. In some versions she is aged up and the Phantom is aged down...still it is a very beloved, albeit twisted fairytale.
