I think I’ve out-aged the medium 😅
Wow! You’re so ancient! You’re like 30!
Could you not?
Try some Anime with some more mature intrigue:
- Apothecary Diaries (Detective series from a medical/herbalogical perspective)
- Frieren (the aftermath of being an immortal and watching your friends die)
I’m not super into anime, no connoisseur by any measure, but I recently felt like there might be something great to watch in that area. I looked up highly rated anime and Frieren came up.
I’ve watched a few episodes and it seems, well there’s no question it’s well made and a great story, but it’s pretty heavy. Sad at times. Does it get happier and more fun, or is this the tone throughout?
If so I might have to try something else.
the tone changes throughout, mostly towards a happy melancholy if that helps
My 70-something father in law is a no-life hikkikomori who just watches anime all the time, now that he’s retired
You’ll never be too old. There’s so many genres and stories to watch, you’ll get pulled back in.
It’s more that a few shows came out that made of fun old people…who are 30…
Just take comfort in the fact that the children that wrote it will also be 30 sooner than they’d like to think
They’ll be lucky if they get this olde!
There’s always Legend of the Galactic Heroes
Or record of Lodoss war, in case you have insomnia
Two of my favorite shows! RoLW is one I come back to whenever I’m in a nostalgic mood. LotGH is just long though, but man was it a great ride!
I’m 33. We’ll drag you back in
I made a Top 50 openings just in case
Maybe that can give you some extra shows you haven’t seen
I’m 27 and I’ve definitely out-aged some of it.
Came back to anime recently after not watching for 3-4 years and Demon Slayer and JJK have been great.
Tried to pick up Boku No Hero again tho… no. Too old for that now.
Next you’re going to tell me 90s music is on the oldies channels
Hey, my guy, early 2000s music are on those stations.
Oldies
Yeah that’ll happen.
Classic rock
NO CLASSIC ROCK IS A SPECIFIC GENRE GOD DAMMIT EMINEM WILL NEVER QUALIFY BECAUSE HE’S NOT A FUCKING ROCK ARTIST
Are you a wizard or no?
Being a late bloomer, I did briefly attain wizardry, but decided to trade in the powers shortly after. They were very overrated.
I am in my forties. Started in the early 80s, never really stopped.
