well at 53 i've gotta be the oldest ACTIVE member. one guy awhile ago became a member who had a few years on me, but he's gone like so many new members do ...

as for the youngest - in the ACTIVE member list - you're close if not it. we have had many active teens b4 though.

well im glad guys like you are out there because pple just think that when you get older you should stop watching cartoons.. well i say F that. i think if you really like anime, cartoons, or even hentai it shouldn't matter how old you are.

my father used to tell me that, soo since i have good grades he stop telling it, but every once in a while even whit the good grades, just since he don't see me doing something productive, he still telling the same, just so i don't spend to much time whit the anime...

still 25 and will keep watching until i die XD

your father doesnt understand you you should kidnap him and make him watch continous looped episodes of naruto just like in A Clockwork Orange

If i try that with my father, i would do it with all the anime i have.....
just it will take him like 2-3 months 24 hours a day for just one watch .... soo i don't think he will endure it XD (loop !!!)

Well first I would like to say what is Anime? Isnt it Animation....there are professional animators spending their lives making these things so you cant say that ur too old for them yourself right?!?!

I personally think Animes are better than any crap hollywood is coming up with nowadays.... great stories great characters and ofcourse great humor...so as long as that is in animes I atleast will keep watching...even if I am 80....:hanabi:

Recently, my father justified because I'm a college student, I should
stop watching anime and pick up studies :relieved:, I, on the other hand thought otherwise, so now I'm posting to see when old is tew old :bow:
PS>I doubt I'll ever get tired of anime tho' :sorry:!!

i'm going to be 51 in june [probably older than your father] and i watch anime. he probably thinks you're watching too much anime and not spending enuff time on your studies ... just prove him wrong. you can do both - watch anime AND have good grades - it's balance - hard to achieve but great to have.

there is no such thing as too old... heck you know who got me into watching anime.. believe it or not it was my 72 yr old grandfather... we enjoyed watching DBZ all the time just before i had to go to bed... dam he is a great grandfather..:blush2:

why is it that parents are a pain, but once achieving grandparent status we're great? i'm not a grandparent yet [altho i could be - my youngest son is 25 this year] - but i keep telling the kids to GET BUSY so we can have grandkids! no luck yet, but the kids are probably having fun trying!
i will be watching anime until i am no more on this earth - hopefully with MY grandkids!
:onion224 thinking i'll be a COOL gran'pa

Well if you manage to guide them in to the wonderful world of anime and I know that you can do it. Then you'll be on for sure. :pcheers1:

i hope i can guide them in many things - anime being one. more likely they'll teach ME about anime!!
