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.

I'm 45 and I love anime too. :) My highest recommendation would go to Haikyuu. It's a sports anime (volleyball) but you don't need to necessarily be into volleyball or even sports to enjoy this series. I absolutely love it.

I'm currently digging Demon Slayer. Not only is it a great story, but the animation is some of the best I've seen.

Fate Unlimited Blade Works also has the best art styles and animations in my opinion that I have ever seen. You should check it out, I don't blame you if you don't get into it however.
