Turned 21 on April. And I'm starting to get the feeling that getting older SUCKS. ;_;

[Shadowfox79]

Im 22, I still can't believe I've been an active anime watcher for 9 years (+1 year for watching Saint Seiya at age 8, but didn't watch any other anime afterwards until I was 13 with DBZ)

Seems 15-19 and 20-24 range is the most populated area for anime watchers

Don't be too sure. At least one member of a well-known fansubbing group claims to be 63, and I believe her. Those of us like Vexx, Goofus Maximus, and myself really are the ages we claim (we're all over 50). There's nothing wrong with being older and liking anime. In the past year or two there have even been shows aimed at older viewers, but sadly not this fall.

15-19. My profile states my specific age.

"Older viewers" does not necessarily means over 50.

People who are 20+ can enjoy seinen shows as well as people who are 40~50+.


Anime doesn't really have an age restriction, so they aren't necessarily aimed for a certain age group, and that's what seinens are like.
If you are mentally matured enough to get the meaning, then you can what almost every seinen out there.

As for shows for even younger people, the fact that it's aimed for them doesn't mean that you can't watch them (there are fewer probabilities of liking them but it's not forbidden).

Just turned 21 a week ago.

My first week being 21 was pretty intense, to say the least...

Of course it doesn't. I just wanted to disabuse some of our younger members of the notion that people my age don't watch anime.

Some of the best shows I've watched were designed for children, or perhaps better, for "family" audiences. I'd put Seirei no Moribito and Dennou Coil in that category among current offerings. I've also enjoyed shows like Mahou Shoujo Tai Arusu (aka Tweeny Witches) or Angelic Layer, despite their clear targeting at children.

Still I think that it would be harder to connect with some of the more melancholy episodes of Bartender without more life experience than most teens have. It's also hard to appreciate fully the struggles that Hiroko faces in Hataraki Man without some experience in the workplace. I'm not saying that intelligent, sympathetic young people couldn't understand these shows, rather that they simply may resonate more with people with a bit more "mileage" on their tires.

@Ledgem: I didn't name anyone on purpose and don't intend to name anyone now.

Frightening how fast time seems to zip by.
I am exactly as old as what the Age field indicates, 22.

[SGT.Mitsuki]

im 16 atm will be 17 in a few months,

im the youngest of my class tho they all say that becouse im so serious and since i seem to apear "wise", my personality is the oldest of the class :/

personaly i find myself realy young at the age of 16,
and find the fact that i still got alot of years to go (if we look at the general age people get) quite terrifing.
also id like to add that even though i find myself realy young i feel older than the rest of the people of my age and up to 24 which still trow food at eachother! :/


oh and im an aquarius, a horse, and my life number is 8

asian people generally speaking do look younger,

Spoiler for example:

theres an asian mother in my neighbourhood thats somewhere in her 40s has kinds and still looks like shes in the 20s i feel like im watching elite humans everytime i see an asian person go by (in a positive way)

i agree on that, theres nothing wrong with being older,
TBH everytime i meet a person old enough to be my perant in the anime-fan world,
i feel kinda happy that there still are older people who show interests in things,

Spoiler for follow up of the story:

like anime instead of saying how childish it is to watch animes even though lots of them are based on a high intelectual level which by far is superior to most series on tv that most adults watch to.

i really like the quote u got in your signature ^^

[JustInn14]

I'm 14 years old. :3

[WONDERMIKE]

i'm 23.. and sometimes i feel really old(seeing all those "youngins"(14+) party all night long etc...)

here around it seems like only kids up to 14/15 watch anime, reading manga is really rare,.. next thing is: they only watch it on german tv, so its all about pokemon, digimon, yugioh, dragonball and naruto(both terribly censored! they cut every punch/hit and theres no blood or at least they color it yellow etc.. and then they never say "kill" its only "i will beat you!" never "i kill you", which is ridiculous³)... so its hard to find anyone to speak about better stuff, or japanese versions, as example: only 2 of my friends(21 and 29) watch anime(japanese original versions)
