I also hate how in some anime, there are kids who are wise beyond their years yet still act like kids in some areas. You mean to tell you are mature to acknowledge your immaturity yet you still act like a ten year old? Granted, maturity is subjective and it still applies to real life but it doesn't stop from being annoying.

Cute buzzword. There are people out there (particularly a subgroup of, ironically, video game fans) who would label you a "manchild" just for liking anime. Just using that word alone has no merit and makes your post worthless.

Why would that be the case? Many people still seem to think that animes are for children (or atleast it's something immature) and very often in their eyes people watching animes are "man children"
Also the defintion of man child that we are using now using now for immature adults is the informal usage of the word man child, so we are already using that word out of it's original context .... |

Your attitude/reaction towards anime determines that. Also what you watch and why. If I go play ball with my kids at a park exclusively for children, am I a manchild for enjoying myself? |

That is the same as saying that you hate role playing games, because of the "larpers" |

Also can you actually blame an anime (or any kind of media) for the actions of a small group of people? Not every anime has your socalled "manchildren" as it's community. edit: Let's make this example very extreme (who knows, maybe it's even true XD): i hate first person shooters because there are potential real life killers playing them. This example is just as silly for hating anime because it has "man children" watching animes |
