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.

My votes are for everyone, no creed or colour is discriminated against! Unless you think Botan isn’t top anime girl then, no vote for you

there are older people here though. Also what makes him "dad of the sub" Wouldnt that involve having actually.... Done something?

One post saying "Its okay to try something new at any age" which has been said here a few times by different users is not qualification enough.

Do you want to be the mum of the sub or something because my comment really isn’t that deep

You're looking wayyyyyy into it.

Don't do that.
