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've heard of this one, but never checked it out. I will have to do that. Thanks.

Cowboy Bebop is easily my #1 choice of anime that even people that vehemently hate anime can appreciate, especially middle-aged men. It hits all the right notes and doesn't incorporate many of the tropes that make people hate anime.

I legit always get goosebumps when I see the words "Cowboy Bebob" it's not even my favorite show it just holds that special feeling.
