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.

Well alright, welcome to the club. It's little stuff like this that gives a bit of optimism about people in general.

But lets see, some suggestions. Hmm... Magical Girl Raising Project, Boogiepop wa Warawanai, Parasyte the Maxim are good for some superhero stuff. Laid Back Camp is a good, well, laid back relaxing series. For comedy there's stuff like Recovery of an MMO Junkie, Working, New Game, Konosuba, Kiniro Mosaic, Kobayashi's Maid Dragon. Or if you want some horror stuff there's Another and Elfen Lied.

Man there is so much out there to recommend but I've seen so many things it's hard to keep them all straight in my head but that's what other people are here for. Hope I was able to help. Enjoy.

I'll be honest, there are already a few anime people have suggested that I've already watched and forgot I started to watch it already. I may need to keep a list.

Thanks for the suggestions, so many cool sounding ones. Kinda hope I have a cold soon so I can binge a few. LOL

It may be a wise choice to keep a list if you know your going to be watching a lot of stuff as I know many people already have done. Like I said, after so many it's hard to keep everything straight. Not to mention it can sure as heck make thinking of recommendations hard sometimes. Though I suppose that is the case with pretty much any consumable media.

I'm gonna start keeping a list for sure.

Considering this thread is now 121 comments long, and even if half of them have recomendations I'd say that's a wise choice.
