Sailor Moon still pretty much punches every anime in its genre straight in the face.
So... my first time with anime... it was definitely in the 90s, mostly Sailor Moon and some of the shows based on kids's books... like Jungle Book, Cities of Gold and Nils Holgersson... none of which I perceived as anime at the time. My first time watching "anime as anime" wasn't until... blimey... 2004-ish, when I started buying Anime DVDs like GitS: S.A.C and samurai champloo.
On the "proper age to watch anime", I think there is no real proper age... because anime has a large variety of shows for almost every age.

I've been watching for 1.5 years and I have already watched more than you have (according to your sig which I believe is dynamic). There is nothing weird about it.

...so you've watched at least four hours of anime every day for the past 18 months?
Huh.
...how do people find the time?

Actually, I watch a LOT more than 4 hours a day usually. Yesterday I put in a shabby 5 or so as I was cleaning n organizing my art studio, just recently started transforming my apartment into a studio and gettin' it sorta 'finished up'. Today I've watched almost 2 hours worth but again been working a bit cleaning neurotically and I watch a lot more late-night.
I find the time by not working(I'm nigh-on disabled) and not sleeping much. I sometimes watch whole series in one go, as in 12/13 episodes back-to-back. I'm probably gonna kill the Gunbuster OVA series today. I killed Madoka Magica in one shot with no real break other than to use the restroom; started at like 1AM, finished at like 7AM. I killed the first 6 episodes of Panty and Stocking in a few hours. It's easy to justify in my mind as I'm an aspiring artist and so I think of it as 'studying' or 'research lol.
I usually watch like 4-6 episodes of an anime in a row if not the entire series and I try to watch 2 or 3 different series a day as in 4 episodes each of 2-3 different shows. That means 4-6+ hours per day, sometimes just work through one series and a movie or watch multiple movies in one day but still end up over the 4 hour mark. I guess I rambled on lol but I'd like to point out I'm not fat or even getting there... 130lbs at 6'2" and athletic albeit wiry built. o.O Lovin' them genes lol
EDIT: my bad, made it sound like 6 hours is a 'lot more' than 4... When I've gotten a lot done in a week and feel like I can slack off, I put in like 9+ hours watching anime sometimes. Just wake up, get coffee, fire up an anime, shower after a while n put on more anime, eat, anime, check my torrents and clean something, anime, look at artbooks/shop online while watching anime on another screen, before I know it it's 9PM. Eat dinner and watch more anime till 3 or 4AM.
Shohei-kun:
On weekdays I watch anime from 9:30-1:30. On weekends I pretty much watch all day. I've slowed down a lot lately as I have caught up with shows I was actually interested in watching. Now I am just watching shows that I have missed.

I can squeeze anime time almost as easily as breathing. :D

If you have enough free time to watch more than 2 full months on anime in 1 and a half years i envy you. and yea dynamic is a good word. I have a fair majority i think but theres so much i don't remember or just don't count. for example i watched ten eps of captain tyler but i don't think i marked it and wouldn't cuz it was with a bunch of people and it was more background. i have a lot of hobbies anime being one of the main ones but i also watch alot of tv from around the glove america, korea, japan, denmark, britian etc, and books. then theres work school etc. 240 shows watched witch is what i have listed seems insane. Thats 15 a year including movies which i haven't watched enough anime movies IMO. To me it is weird though. It's all weird. I've been hard into video games since i was 3 thats a quarter of a century that too is weird. Maybe it's just me though.
