Thread: Too old??

i agree it dose not mater how old you are! i'm turning 18 and i'm in to it. alot of pepole dont agree with me!

I'll be 22 on Friday, have two kids, married, and I've got three dogs, and I still find myself staying up all night playing video games. As far as anime goes I don't think a person outgrows that, that would be like outgrowing comedy. Your tastes within a genre might change, but you still like the catagory.

My father's turning the big 5 - 0 this year, and while I can still snipe him down like a pro in Halo2, there is still no way I can beat him in any racing game (i.e. Need for Speed Underground 2).

Oh, and it was his idea to go see Akira on IMAX (which was just AMAZING btw!!!).

So, no, I don't think you can get too old for this stuff. It all depends on the person in the end.

P.S.: On a side note, my dad also picked up the new Eminem album before me... go figure.

I don't think you can get too old for either. Video games and anime help keep the kid in all of us.

As one of the "senior" members of this site *coughs* (34), I can attest to the fact that playing video games and watching anime for 10-20 years has not lost any of its appeal over the years. In fact it has actually gotten better. I have had the experience of watching the gaming industry and animation grow with the advances in technology over the years. With new innovations always on the horizon I know that I can look forward to better titles in both genres. The storylines in anime (even the ones that are repeated over and over again) are presented in new and fresh ways that I find more satisfying than most tv programs and films.

I do admit that in the past I was not so open with my love of anime because there seems to be an "immature" stigma that comes with it. When meeting new guys, they would always say*in dopey guy voice* "you still watch cartoons?"...aargh! But with Linkin Park having anime stylee in their videos and such movie titles as "The Animatrix" and the O-Ren Ishi origin storyline in Kill Bill, I am finding that anime is beginning to be respected in a more varied age range.

Here's one of my mottos I live by: "anime will never go away"

I guess in society it would seem that there is an age limit on these sorts of things...I dont really believe that though...then again I loooooooooooove video games and anime....I'm only 20 but I literally belive i'm gonna be the cool mom playing video games with her kids they're gonna have to kick ME off the system lol

I know 40+ year olds that still play video games and watch anime so there is no age limit I think it all comes down to if you still like anime at that age.
