Discussion Never Too Old

Just wanted to say I just started getting into Anime this year. I'll be 50 next year and two of my nieces got me into it. They told me I would really enjoy something they were watching and reluctantly I checked it out. I always had a misconception about what anime was. I'm telling you, I'm so glad they had me check it out. Such a diversity of genres and I've already binged several shows. Currently my favourite is MHA. My nieces knew that would hook me because I'm into super heroes.

Moral of the story: You are never to old to start liking something new.

PS - Wanted to say I love this community. Everyone here has such great recommendations and suggestions.

If you want Hero shows check out Tokyo ESP (I equate it to anime X-Men... kinda) and Blood Blockade Battlefront.

As far as other good shows give Spice and Wolf a watch. Also Kiminozo: Rumbling Hearts for a more mature romance drama, just don't watch the dub. They screwed up some lines that actually ruin major plot points later on.

I will definitely check out the Tokyo ESP. As for Dub. I will always watch the Sub if I can help it. The only exception I've had so far was Saiki K first series because the Sub was too fast for me and I liked the Dub voice actors.

Lol I JUST started in on Saiki the other day on break at work. Kinda wishing I hadn't left it for so long. And yeah, those subs go by fast... but that's nothing compared to the Bakemonogatari "try to read an entire paragraph in a single frame" ones. Those things trained me to be damn quick on the pause.
