 Actually, that only half true. The thing is, most (almost all) Japanese kids
are "Fans" of anime/comics. Then, when they grow-up (older) they start to 
"grow out of it". This doesn't mean that they abandon anime/comics, but 
they are less energetic about it. It becomes a part of their life, (but 
not all) and therefore, they are "fans" but not an energetic one. (In 
Japan, when one claims to be a "Fan" of something, they are REALLY 
interested and energetic about it....(Conclusion) You can turn back by 
not being a fan, but you can't turn back on anime/comic
