Too old for anime?
Krudda:
hey, you stole my avatar and did exactly what I've been working on to it :< Now I need to find a new christmas avatar idea.
Oh and uh, on topic, erm, yeah, a lot of people around here watch anime that is broadcast on TV and think it's a "Disney Family Movie", morons.

sorry i went off topic, but man, you have to try and see if you can find someone to talk to, you'll know if you click or not.
never too old for anime.

A fellow Dane! Nice to see you, man. ;D God Jul (which means "Merry Christmas" ;) ) Velkommen til!
To stay on topic; it is of course a a cultural thing. Never fall into a trap of not doing something because it won't seem "normal". What is normal to you is perhaps weird in other cultures. "Normal" doesn't excist - what is "normal"? Nobody can define it. Do what you enjoy; life is too short to care about what others might think about what you do, even though our minds try to fool us into believing it is so important. It is not. In my culture, the Danish culture, I've come to realise the people in my country are quick at stigmatising people; put them into "boxes" where they fit. Anime in my culture is "foreign" and the Danish culture is a little scared to welcome foreign cultures; Anime for instance - if you watch that and people find out here, you're very quickly stigmatised as a "geek" or "nerd" or just "childish" - guess it's the same in some other cultures? I do believe though there are a lot of anime watchers here in my small country (The annual anime-con is filled with people!); they just haven't come out of the closet yet - In my daily life, I have never met another Danish anime-watcher. It's too bad. :)

Find a few, invite them for some watching, a simple dinner, and few drinks... It works; just a couple of weekends ago I had three guys over for nice day ;D

Maybe because of some other threads I was just reading, but my mind... interpreted that completely wrong.
I wish I could invite some people over to my house to watch anime with me, but apart from my neighbours, there's nobody else even remotely close to me. I don't even have friends I can invite over :foreveralone:
Fucing town I work in, there's like almost no fucking people my age in it... like there's a gap in the age grooup where 18-30 year old people, just don't exist in the town.
Oh well, at least my neighbours like anime, so that's a good thing. They also love the same anime I love - an added benefit.

I thought you were talking about a foursome at first... Rawr!!!
Krudda, I know that's for certain my problem. Small country town, I presume? When I can, I really want to move to the Metroplex since there are a lot more people there that I can do things with that aren't old country folk...
Back On Topic: On another Anime forum I frequent, there is an 86 year old that has been watching Anime since AstroBoy came out and pops her head out from time-to-time. LOL
So, there's no age limit (minus discretionary age) for watching Anime. ;)
