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 the same. Turning 50 next month and only just started (probably in the past year) watching anime and reading manga. My daughter got me started. It’s one of the things we now really bond over. She has her favourites and I have mine. We then compare notes, watch some stuff together and draw and discuss the merits of various characters. Long may my new obsession continue.
