Never too old. Deathnote is awesome for the older anime fan where as pokemon and yugioh is for the younger.

You're right, it's neither; it's food for the trash can.

They say anime is just for kids.

If they think it's just for kids, show them Elfen Lied or Gungrave. They'll change their minds. Hell, go with a classic, show them Akira.

I need your opinion guys.According to you, how old is too old to watch the anime? 25 ? 30 ?

Never too old. If it's something you enjoy, why the hell should you stop doing it?

I quite clearly remember it being an Anime.

You're never too old to appreciate an episode of Tom and Jerry, or similar classics, surely it's the same for anime.

I was under the impression that was just one of those annoying things dubbers put in instead of the origional noises?

Maybe I was mistaken.

It's sad that you would look at ONE series and dismiss the entire thing.


If you can't find a door, make one. Because it certainly won't fucking make itself.

Yeah but for most kinds of animes I'd say by age 18 you should expand your horizons.

No no, it was intentional. And actually, it was "nyu". The soft sound amplifies the softness of Lucy's alter ego.

remember the .50 cal to her head?

As long as you DON'T watch Naruto you're OK no matter how old you are.

Anime has always been made for adults. American TV execs were the ones who started making anime-style cartoons for kids. And, from what I've heard, they've even taken several Japanese shows and severely re-edited them to make them far more suitable for children.


Think you're pretty clever...

Ahh well I guess the Japenese cast did it better than the poorly paid dubbed cast anyways. It tried too hard to be OTT if you ask me, but it was still a brilliant anime. I was just disappointed by the fact I couldn't get and subbed episodes, so had to settle for the dub.

I also thought it was a bullet used to penetrate tank armour? Surely not a .50 cal..

Nope, It was a .50 Cal Barrett Sniper Rifle. The
reason why it didn't kill her was because it ricocheted off her helmet.

which doesn't make much sense to me. he used a fucking AP round

You can never be too old to watch anime or cartoons. Though it may be frowned upon as it may be an indication of immaturity. But I don't care and neither should you. I can imagine that when I am 72 I will still love TriGun. that show is the shit even though it is short.

for me, to old is when your dead! like some other guys have said, their are a few cartoon animes that are made for adults, i think samuri jack is sort of in between. thats like a teenage anime. ghost in the shell is just messed up bad!

when you stop liking it, stop watching it!


ever wanted to ask god why he made us, when you die, who made him? iGod, Repenting made easy.

It really depends. If you're watching something like Naruto or Pokemon you deserved to be made fun of.

If you're watching something like Elfen Lied then it's perfectly fine.

Dude, come on, only you have to live with the choices you make. Do you ask your friends opinions on underwear, how 'bout cereal? The fact of the matter is, anime is fun to watch, most animes have very good plots, and really, it has a general appeal. I says this: "If ya find somin' ya like, stick with it, and hell to everyone else that isn't you at the end of the day!" Thats why we have free will and all that jazz.
