Yea I too think anime is meant for older age groups and I hate when everyone say you still watch cartoons at this age

[bala88]

really nice convo between u two guys.. anyway i would like to quote from what Nishant said in that convo "Nishant: age is no barrier in gaming and cartoons"
thats highly true.. but people don't understand it... we need people to tell them that its not just childs play its a thing of a adult too...

maybe some organization can put money together a make ads to display on the tv with this message with a little humor put into so adults will at least watch the ad and understand that anime nor cartoons are NOT just for kids its for adult too...

[Nem]

Yeah! That's quite true.
Cartoons are meant for kids while animes for mature people. Now if we are grown up or kids, it doesn't matter till you see what you like (animes, i mean) Seriously, anime are meant for mature people.

Unfortunately, Inidan public fails to understand that and for them, everything that is in 2D is cartoons.....sheesh. To be true, watching Animes is much better than watching those stupid reality shows like Indian Idol (photocopy of American Idol) or Antakshari (whatever that is) or worse those stupid Saans-Bahu series. God damn Ekta Kapoor.

Its all in a matter of time. One day, Indian masses will realise that Anime was always meant for mature people and not just kids.
(Hope that day comes soon...)

[Ewan]

Well... from what limited stuff i know, animes are mainly considered for adults in Japan only really... (appart from some). In some countries like the US, some animes are considered for adults, though most are still considered 'kiddy' ¬.¬

But I dont know much about the matter, so dont beleive anything i say ^_^;

[Petey]

Let's put it this way,
Animé is as much in the culture of Japanese children & citizens as any *generic* Indian is to soaps. (I think soaps are ughish and useless though ¬.¬)
Simply because Animé is animated, people take it for "kids" outside Japan.

[Ewan]

Lol @ the soaps! ^_^;

I agree with the animated bit, and people taking them for kids... Such a shame... ='(

[Nem]

The problem with Indian masses is that our people don't have an open mind! They are simlpy obsessed with silly stuff like soaps and bollywood (which is simply a Xerox of Hollywood)

Its a pity.

[taninamdar]

I too get angry when my friends or relatives say that u still watch pokemon at this (I am 16) age.
What do they mean?? Pokemon is pokemon and its best. So I really get angry on them..

[Maxedge]

Lol people stopped telling me coz they figured it is a waste of time to tell

[Prongs]

Well I guess 12 is suitable for Pokémon.

[kaijudo]

Lol Maxedge, same thing happened to me. My classmates still bug me about how I like pokemon but I close an ear. I figured It's just like mindless dogs barking at you. BE WHO YOU ARE, LIKE WHAT YOU WANT! MUHAHAHAHAHAHA..........

[taninamdar]

What 12, prongs?
Age?
Not at all.
I am 16 now, still I love pokemon?
How old are you?

[Prongs]

I am 12 but that doesn't mean anyone can boss me.

[adyniz]

That's the spirit.
