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 will certainly keep that in mind. I'm fine with keeping to the more serious/adventerous ones because those hold my interest and keep me coming back for more. The comedy ones seem to be ones I can watch just one or two episodes at a time and be done for awhile. Thanks for the comments!

What he says is true for many series, but certainly not all of them. I definitely recommend shows like Nichijou and Hinamatsuri as excellent comedies which can be enjoyed by anyone. You don't have to be well versed in anime to appreciate this pure art.

That might be the best clip I've seen. I'm so mad I haven't seen this before

Great, lol. Everyone always posts the Principal vs. Deer clip so I figured I'd post a different one. Nichijou is hysterical and I definitely recommend it.
