I am 28, and came to anime when I rented the AnimEigo sub at a local
video store (although I was a Speed Racer fan long ago when dinosaur walked
the earth). If one is older, One thing one does need to appreciate many
anime releases is a good memory of having <been> a child or an adolescent
(or in Keiichi's case, a hapless college student who couldn't get a date).
If that is lacking, then much of what goes on in these stories will simply
not be very meaningful.

I am willing to test this hypothesis over the next few years, and
especially as I have kids (BIG time-killers). However, I doubt that I shall
ever be indifferent to anime again.
