Do you ever think you'll outgrow anime?
Smiling Cat:
I am sure there will always be something in Anime for me to enjoy. Some shows I just lock onto and can't get enough and some I can watch without ever really caring about it. Didn't sign up for any Fall Semester Classes and all I have been doing is mostly keeping up with Bleach, FMA Brothers, Naruto and some of the new movies while stock piling even more new stuff. I have at least five series I want to start watching, but when you have pretty much nothing but free time I guess you don't get the enjoyment of watching something compared to when you're always busy and have a couple hours of free time a day.
Aesthesis:
Many comparisons can be drawn between Anime and other forms of entertainment, its like asking if you'll outgrow fiction novels, movies or games. As it has already been said, Anime has a wide variety of genres and audiences, so you never really grow out of it. Its just that your taste matures the older you get.

The exact reason I don't really watch movies anymore. Thing about anime is that the authors have more "freedom" and more ways to express comedic situations than in movies. So even though the ending is: good wins vs evil or loser gets chick, I still find entertainment in the actions and/or interactions between the characters.
Or animes like Lucky Star and Gintama which are basically just random and hilarous.
So, in my case, the real question would be: do I want to outgrow anime?
I think not.

I'm 30 (almost 31) and still in love with Anime. Like a few here I've been watching since I was very young (Astro-boy's original North American airing was my introduction) and I've watched anime steadily and fairly slowly since then, picking up more in the past 10 years or so. I'm still not churning through series though, usually only getting in 2 or 3 series a year and a lot of movies. Having a wife and 2 daughters and a challenging career does tend to take up a lot of time.
Point is, I'll never get tired of anime, there's issues and subjects that anime (and i'm sure Japanese culture) handle far more maturely and rationally than North American society.
Over time however, my taste in anime has certainly changed and become more discerning to a degree. I find I can still be a fanboy and champion stuff that other people don't like as much.
Osmo:
No never, because there's nothing to outgrow, Anime takes time and effort to write and create, very talented people are involved.
But sometimes I do think, "ohh its not reality, its just fictional, its not real, ITS A CARTOON!"
I think its all about the dose in which you take Anime.
