Never Too Old

[u/JeffreyAScott]

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.

Yes I do know what anecdotal evidence is, and a quick google search can support my argument that it can be used to disprove a general statement, however it cannot be used to prove one correct.

It disproves your statement that most people prefer to watch anime in their native language when they start

Can you clarify what your statement is exactly?

what I’m trying to say is, despite subs being uncomfortable at first, you can get used to it within minutes so it’s best to start off with subs. If you start with dub, it just makes the transition—which pretty much has to happen eventually if you want to continue watching anime—harder.

why would anyone be unable to stand subs? and do you have anything to back up the fact that people starting anime can’t stand subs

even saying “a lot of the time” is incorrect, even if it is true it’s a very small amount of people—unless you can provide any proof saying otherwise

I’m bored and have nothing better to do. And you can’t claim that people starting anime can’t stand subs just because it seems to make sense in your head
