Too old for anime?

<< < (3/19) > >>

I've pondered that for awhile also. I've never really moved at all but I've always have been a outcast. I have more true friends on the internet than IRL anyway. I also think every one has an Anime/Manga/Hentei binge every once in a while ( I have one almost monthly). In this p.o.s. of a world we live in every one needs a release. Some people go to clubs,  others watch anime. I've talked to people almost 3 times my age (19y/o) about anime and had hour long conversations just on anime. hell anime helped me pass High school( teacher who held my life in her hands was an otaku from Japan). Its has been apart of my life for almost as long as I remember. In short every one has a hobby mine is anime and if you think that is childish then I have some hentei I could show you :laugh: .

He he, hentai is fine, but I usually respond with black lagoon.

Totally not for adults, kids only.

I just use anime as a substitute for Western television, particularly back in my first few years of university where the cable package was abysmal and my internet was awesome. I'm sick of reality television, cop shows, and sitcoms -- I love the wide range of genre material and unconventional approaches available in anime. Western animation is not nearly so well supported financially or remotely as diverse, and live action is always struggling against budgets and the lack of artistic boldness endemic to mainstream television. There are exceptions of course, particularly on HBO and the like, but if I had to choose between my current satellite package and a highly restrictive ISP which blocked streaming or torrents from Japan, it wouldn't even be a contest.

I don't think pushing away things you enjoy to meet some preconceived notion of maturity, is mature. So long as you're not completely ignoring your responsibilities to idle in whatever you do for fun, you can unashamedly call yourself an adult whatever your hobby is.

jinhong91:
Those who said Anime or stuff is childish, are childish themselves.

Unless of course, they understand that it is different yet similar to other stuff they like.
It is the understanding that makes people mature, not liking stuff that people make it out to be mature that makes them mature.

Watch as much as you like. Just don't watch too much. It never ends well when you do anything too much.

AceHigh:
Don't you think it is weird that if you waste time on anime or games, the common thought is "too old for this, must get a life". However when the majority of the adults of past generation waste all their time in front of TV watching some shit mixed with ton of commercials, it totally "normal".
