The reason I recommend classic anime is to prove that animation isn't just for kids. The depth of works like <i>Ghost in the Shell</i> and <i>MONSTER</i> is something many live-action dramas fail to achieve.
I watched "Frieren" and cried; the older you get, the more you can feel this kind of emotional resonance. So, it's not strange at all.
Actually, the primary consumer base for anime has always been adults. The target audience for late-night anime in Japan is office workers aged 20-40.
What's thirty? I'm forty-two and I still watch anime every season; nobody at work knows. You don't need to care what others think about doing what you love.
Works like <i>Violet Evergarden</i> and <i>March Comes in Like a Lion</i> are simply made for adults. Their depth of content and emotional complexity are not something children can understand.
As someone who finishes every season: age has never been the issue, time is 😂 But catching up on shows has definitely made my life more fulfilling.
Looking at industry data, the average age of animation viewers has been rising. 30-year-olds are absolutely part of the mainstream audience.
My three-episode rule is to judge purely based on the quality of the work, regardless of age. Good creations have no age limits.
I'm already thirty, and I don't find it strange at all. Animation is a form of art, just like watching movies or reading books; it's not something "childish."
To be honest, a lot of people I know in their thirties still watch it. It’s just that people don't bring it up, so you think you're the only one.
