It was never really a thing for me. Pokemon and the Animatrix were just cartoons to me. If anything I only ever made a conscious effort to watch anything specifically as 'anime' probably approaching my mid20s.

There are people still watching The Simpsons even though they're in their 50s. There's no reason, besides social pressure, to "outgrow" anything.
That has to include figurines, sadly. To be fair.

Anime is superior to western animation in every aspect.

Probably five or six years ago. I am 29 and started watching at like age 12. I used to buy VHS or rent them from the local comic store, then I bought DVDs for a little bit before finally discovering fansubs/torrenting.

I mostly "grew out" of it because I just stopped liking most of the popular shows. The last thing I watched and liked was TTGL, and I wasn't watching much at that point.

I still read manga. I'd like to watch the JoJo anime maybe.

This really is it. There was some article trending around here a couple of days ago of some mid life crisis roastie psychologist trying to equate people like shaved pussies and armpits on girls being fucking repressed pedophilia. Ignoring completely that most stacys that dont meme out about le epic beards also prefer hairless men made it so obvious that she was just butthurt people expected her to keep her nasty ass shit trimmed. Nevermind girls wanting to be eaten out and making it easier by getting rid of all the fucking hair, no, its filthy disgusting rapist men that want to fuck kids but cant.

And even if they did so what, would you rather they rape an actual child rather than tell their gf to shave her fucking snatch? It's so insane how bad roasties want to police men's fucking attractions. Something so basic as what gives you boners pisses them off. This fat acceptance shit and now wanting hairless fucking armpits i mean fuck off

I've been really suicidal for several months, but i keep on putting it off because i want to know how the anime I'm watching will end, and i started so many shows that at this point it might take me another two years to finish them all. I can't decide if that's good or bad.

I'm not living a very happy life, and the only thing that distracts me from my shitty situation is anime. I imagine i would have killed myself by now if i had never had the pain-relief of anime. Maybe it is childish in some one elses thoughts, but that isn't important in a world without meaning.

I just never really got interested in anime. I've tried watching a few of them but none of them kept me entertained.

The same could not be said about vidya gaems.

I'm the opposite.

I've tried a fair number of video games, but the only ones that have kept me entertained are those that are open-ended worlds.
-Yume Nikki/Yume 2kki/f.low
-Dwarf Fortress
-Original Beta Minecraft

Also, I generally like the "art games" that /v/ deprecates, but I can only play through them 1 time, because once I beat the game and understand the story, I don't find any fun in making artificial challenges of increased difficulty.

Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei
>A suicidal highschool teacher, a class of quirky girls and a society filled with contradictions. The boringness of my synopsis is driving me to despair!

Humanity has Declined
>Only a handful of humans remain among the remnants of civilization and Earth is dominated by faeries -tiny, ten-inch tall creatures of surprising intelligence. But humanity's importance isn't over quite yet, as young Watashi learns as she makes the decision to return to her hometown and assume her grandfather's position as an arbitrator between the races.

No need to be rude, and those aren't anime although I plan to play them.

I was hesitant to even associate myself with anime for awhile because my NEET aspergers brother watched a ton of shounen adventure stuff and none of it really appealed to me.

Then 2 years ago at 21, shortly after the first job I'd ever had was made redundant, I tried watching K-On cause I was at a rather low point in life and I absolutely adored it. Since then I've gotten deep into slice-of-life, romance, and even some female targeted shows that I never considered would appeal to me.

I've found a world of story telling that Western media just didn't provide for me and I can't see my interest ending anytime soon.
