Too old for anime?
BlightShadow:
I'm 29, and sometimes I don't feel like I'm mature enough to watch anime to be honest.
I'm always hoping for more pantsu-shots in every show. :no:

What? Slice of Life is usually more mature than other genre because they develop characters and relationships rather than gimmicky action and gag humour.
Beck, Genshikan, Emma, Honey and Clover, and Nodame Cantabile are all Slice Of Life -- there are plenty more like them.

I should have been more specific - the school themed slice of life. That being said what I think and what I feel are different. I do think that at age 25 you really should be watching something different, but I use the aforementioned genre as a filler to fill in my missing adolescence.

I'm not too old for anime, and i will most likely keep watching it as i continue getting older, since there is a crapton of it one could simply download or stream, ranging from various genres. And there are some awesome series like hellsing, Shiki, Black Lagoon etc etc which i dont think you could necessarily be too old for. Of course, you do get imbeciles who think anime is childish or stupid based on what some are like, and then voice their "opinions".
Then i be like:

It all depends how old you feel and act I guess.
I'm 27. I don't realy feel too old for anime.
I guess it has to do with how we grew up too - I'll likely still be watching anime in 10 years. I don't know of too many 37 year olds who watch anime now, then again, they didn't grow up with it.
Some animes just have a certain nostalgia factor to it, and I think it's quite normal you like now what you liked when you grew up. Sure, there are some things you can grow out of, but if you had so much fun watching anime as a kid, why stop now?
Some anime can be all serious and emotional like Clannad, not all anime is immature. Try making a 10 year old watch Steins;Gate, see if they even grasp what the hell is going on.
I get your drift though, I mean, I'm ALREADY 27, at least that's how I feel. But I have no intention of letting my inner child go away yet ;)
