Also, all books fall into the same genre. The reading kind.

No wonder you all are so confused. When someone complains about "anime" you don't even know what it is.

Says someone who hates anime and probably hasn't even watched or seen parts of more than 5 different (but possibly alike) anime's. :p

At least I admit it. :)

Some people don't want to admit they're getting too old for teen entertainments. But you can see the frustration coming out as they find it more and more difficult to bridge the gap with each new teen fad that arises.

If you're referring to anime here, then this is the single dumbest thing I've read in a long time.

It's like saying video gaming is for kids. Yet, there are more people age 18+ and older playing video games than these supposed kids.

Yeah, and there are many anime that are not suitable for the younger audience. :p

OP, why is your conclusion "anime is terrible" as opposed to "all the anime I have watched is terrible?" If you're not a troll, I'd be curious to know your level of exposure with anime.

Probably the better measurement of maturity is the fact that there is anime that's too boring for a young audience.

Based on what exactly?

IMO, a lot of sex and violence is marketed to the teenaged set by claiming it is mature. Immature maturity: Predator. True maturity: The McNeil Lehr News Hour.

Srsly tho, it was just alright. Kagami Light was a tool and most of the show was a lot of "I know that he knows that I know what he knows..." type bullshit.

Death Note was a cool concept but I didn't like the direction they went with it :/

I'm glad I'm not mature. Watching the news doesn't wind me down at all. :p

I just mean that spectacle is a trait of childishness. I never said that childishness is bad. :p

I grew up watching Star Blazers. The Wave Motion Gun kicked ass. I think it went on the air in 1979.
