    In this thread you’ll find:

    People falling over themselves trying to justify how material sourced from shōjo and shōnen magazines is actually intended for adults, presumably because they’re adults and they like it.

    I couldn’t care less about adults consuming media primarily targeted toward teens and adolescents. I’m in my thirties and watch anime myself. At no point have I ever tried to convince anyone that teen and ‘young adult’ media is anything else. There’s no shame it enjoying it as an adult, but it does become increasingly less relevant with age.

        Quite right. I watch and enjoy Bluey with my partner’s kid so much he now tries to get me to watch Gumball instead. Hehehe. Both good shows. Adult wins.
