Even up to this day, I still have a huge backlog of titles I haven't even seen yet and they're all there just sitting in my hard drive (i.e. Monster. Damn, that's a LOT!) Good thing I've watched most of what I have in dvd.

And well, my age is already obvious. That is, if you're willing to believe what's said over at the internet. But yes, 24 years old and practically in my mid-twenties. That makes me a bit sad for some reason.

Hahah, it's nice to know I'm not the only one who still hasn't found the time to watch all of Monster. I just never seem to have the kind free time I once had, and when I do have time for anime I spend it watching new episodes for shorter series. Gives me an uneasy feeling that one day in the future after I've retired from work the thought will hit me...now I can finally watch all of Monster and while I'm at it watch a lot of other stuff too. Then I'll find out all my dvd's have gone bad with age...

Don't feel sad at 24, around 40 comes a midlife crisis that really bums most people out for a while until they can move past it. I've just thought it best in the long run to try and avoid thinking about how many birthdays have accumulated, act as young as someone feels, and be interested in what they like for however long it lasts. For the past decade or so that's been anime and manga for me, next decade it could be something completely different...who knows. In the distant future I may be into chasing little old ladies around an old folks home for fun and to see if that viagra stuff really works. hehehe

Well, depressive people don't especially feel that midlife crisis. I mean, if you ask them, they'll tell you "well, I'm always down, so between 39 and 41, nothing much happened, you know..."
That's why I'm not so worried about aging.
Whatever my age is.

[Lady Yanami]

At least I can say with confidence that I won't be having a midlife crisis. Mainly because I don't care about aging. It's just a number--in the grand scheme of things. You can't live your life going " Oh good God, I'm getting old--life sucks"--blah blah. You have to live every day and age to it's fullest. I mean if you let a number dictate your life and how you feel, you'll never get anywhere, ya know?

[Truth-kun]

18 here. Really wish I was younger. College is tough. Sigh

That's the "today is the same as yesterday, only more so" version of a midlife crisis. With so many people though taking something (zoloft, lexapro, prozac, or whatever is being advertised these days) for depression or anxiety so they can function better, I wonder if they breeze right on past a midlife crisis without noticing it? Better living through applied pharmaceuticals...

[Nakasty]

I'm 14!!! meaning next year, i'll get to vote in the 15-19 section!!! Yay!!! ^^

[Roxy06]

well, ok then!?! Every one sounds happy about their age!!! I'm 17, and I hait it!

[Deathkillz]

i think the best age is 15 case you are carefree with a bit of responsibility ...haveing just turned 16 (3 months ago) i find that responsibility has somewat increased on me when my parents begining to say "its about time you..."
anyway yay the 15-19 have caught up with the oldies XD (no offense to the oldies)

[Toxic]

I'm 14, but I really wish I was older. Cause you see, everyone sees you like a baby, and a bratty one at that. Even if you aren't. Plus, it'd feel good to live alone, even though you'd have to work and stuff. But I mean, it can't be much worse than school

that's exactly what my parents had told me lol, though i just turned 15(1 mouth ago), but i guess thats true.
Wow, 15-19 has the same number as 20 - 24 ^^ woohoo, at least im not the only young here ^^

[zetra]

I just turned 14 (1 month ago (too)). I think it's best just like this. I don't wish anything for my age.

Tsss, that's the worst thing to say, kid...
My 17 were shit too, and I swear I regret not taking the good time I should have taken. So enjoy please. This goes as well for the 4 youngster coming after you.

Hah, I agree with you there. Younger people of forums can be stereotyped a bit, but I think I'm pretty mature.... ^^

[DaFool]

If you are male, you don't reach maturity until age 28.

I kid you not.

In the meantime, enjoy the privilege of acting like a child and getting away with it.

The only advantage I have of living alone is that I don't have to use headphones when watching porn...I use the full 5.1 surround sound.

Other than that, paying bills really, really sucks. And I've messed up in the workplace a couple of times that there are certain people I actively avoid bumping into. Dang, everything's taken way too seriously.

[Noodlehead]

I'm 86. Turning 87 next month.

Just kidding. But really, what is there to say about your age? Besides the number. Other than that, there's not much to elaborate about. Physical age doesn't always reflect your mental or emotional age.

I'm in the majority age group, though.

[Rin-Sama]

Celerating my 10th year of otakudom. im 23!

[Calca]

Turning 25 really means nothing. It's all downhill from here.

[Vegna]

I'm 18, and life just keeps on getting better ^^ (cant wait till I hit that brick wall).
I'm actually likeing going 2 school atm, because I like the subject I'm following (Electrical Installations), it's active, challanging and intresting for me.
Though, when I'm free, I'm quite bored most of the times, thats why I keep busy playing around with computers, MMO's and training for Ken-do. I love anime, but buying dvd's is very expencive, and I cant afford more then 2 a week (60$). And after watching them I dont realy feel like wathcing them again within the month. So I realy was in heaven when I discovered this site
Although, I cant download over 25G because thats the max download cap that my network provider has. This week I had to pay my father to buy more upload and download space (have 9GB left). I've been looking for a network provider that allows unlimited downloads and uploads, but none are available near my village
Guess I'll be blowing all my money on new dvd's from archonia now then
