    how old do you have to be when watching anime goes from socially acceptable to not so acceptable?

    i cannot think of any anime show that is targeted to audiences over 60. is there an anime show like the golden girls that i have missed out on?

    i never want to be too old for anime ever but people 60+ wouild be weird to see watch it on their own but if they're big fans and/or it started when they were young and lasted that long I'd understand.

    Dude.
    My grandma is almost 70.
    She LOVES anime.

    Your never too old.
    And your never too young. While other kids were watching Barney, I was watching InuYasha.

    It just depends on how committed you are to what you love.

    At that time in your life when you find out that you can have a social life. :P


    You can watch anime at any age. Who says you can't? Screw what other people say. If you like it you should watch it. There is no limit.

    There is truth in that. XD

    It depends on the genre. Some shows are aimed at young kids, so Pokemon being a teenager is probably to old to still like it.

    But some like Hentai will probably attract the older since well...it's porn but animated.

    I don't think there's an age limit but the more bloody, gorier ones should be watched by the older kids.

    I admit I watch Pokemon on occasion but with the children I babysit on vacations and weekends. xD But no Hellsing for them.

    it depends what anime, I think.

    My mom, late 20's at that time, LOVED sailor moon

    lulz

    but, like Detective Conan or Deathnote isn't good for really young people, (Bellow 8)

    i dunno what animes older people watch o_O

    I don't think it's ever too old to watch anime...I mean, why does there need to be an age limit on it? It's not like anime is childish...at least not all of them. lol​

    You seriously must live in a land where everyone knows something about anime.

    Like 2 people even watch Death Note around here.

    I really don't think you can put an age on anime. I suppose some people may fall out of liking it, but there are still those who stay faithful through life. One of my friends actually has several uncles, plus a grandfather, who watch anime.

    There's anime for any age. That's what makes them different than cartoons.

    Well, it depends on what kind of anime you like watching. Honestly, I can go on watching anime because there are't that many shows that have as intersting of a plot story as most anime shows.

    Now if I could get my old man to see eye to eye with me on that :sideways:.....
