Do you think there's an age limit for being an anime fan?

Machine-translated from Traditional Chinese

I'm thirty-five this year. My friends around me are already married with kids, and I'm the only one still chasing after shows and buying figures. Sometimes I wonder if I'm being too childish. But every time I watch a good series, I feel like age has nothing to do with interests. I was chatting with a fifty-year-old colleague recently and found out he's a die-hard Gundam fan with an even bigger collection than mine. So... is there really no age limit for being an anime fan? How old is the oldest anime fan you know?

Sometimes getting older lets you see deeper. The theme of time passing in Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End hits harder as you age.

An ACG historian answers: Many Nihon animations were made for adults in the first place, e.g., AKIRA, Ghost in the Shell. Thinking that anime is only for kids is the real prejudice.

I'm a Frieren oshi, and I'm not young anymore... But every time I see a good work, I feel like I'm still that kid who follows anime. Age is just a number.

This story is very touching. It's the same with four-panel comics; many people think they are childish, but in reality, the simpler the expression, the more skill it requires.

My archaeologist friend is sixty years old and still following "ONE PIECE." He said he's been following it for over twenty years and it's impossible to give up halfway. Age has never been an issue.

You don't need an age permit to do what you love. Just keep chasing it.

My seiyuu-obsessed fifty-year-old uncle still flies to Nihon to watch seiyuu live... he says his youth is forever stuck at that Hanazawa Kana moment.

My dad is fifty-eight this year, and he was part of the first generation of Gundam viewers. He still builds models to this day. He says, "I started building them when I was a kid, and I'm still not finished yet."

I often see parents bringing their kids to conventions, but it turns out they’re the real fans themselves! 😂 Bringing their kids along is just an excuse.

No matter your age, the joy of watching anime is the same. My goal is to be a seventy-year-old grandma who is still watching anime.

There are many veteran seniors in the cosplay community! Their craftsmanship and experience are something young people cannot match. Age only serves to deepen one's passion.

Hong Kong comic fans all have the same problem. Many people think that reading comics is something only children do. But in reality, comics, just like literature, are a form of artistic expression.

My dad is also a Gundam fan! The Gundam fans of his generation are still so passionate even now, even more dedicated than our generation.
