As long as you're financially independent, being "mature" is just another word for being either an indoctrinated peon, a corporate whore or hopelessly pussy whipped.

I'm 31 and I feel more childish (and happier) every day. If someone doesn't like it, they are free to blow me.

I am similar to you, 26yo, done with schools, full time work, live alone, pay bills, etc, etc.

I bough 2 LEGO sets to myself for Christmas and still reading manga (I prefer manga over anime). I believe you are never too old to enjoy what you like!

I'm 31 and feel pretty much the same way. I do what I enjoy, and I happen to enjoy playing video games and watching anime. If one day I stop enjoying those things, I'll stop doing/watching them. I don't foresee that as part of "growing up", but rather, perhaps I'll just find new interests one day (highly doubt it though). I can't imagine going through life not doing what I enjoy because of how others might perceive me, or because society doesn't think I should do it, or because I'm supposedly "too old" to enjoy it.

I will say I appreciate different qualities in gaming and anime now than I used to, which one could call "maturing." I don't see this "maturing" as a side-effect of aging, but instead, a side-effect of doing these things so much that I either get bored of the same-old, or start to recognize things I really appreciate and want more of. I like games and anime with depth (though naruto still has me hooked, at least for canon) but that hasn't always been the case.

I imagine your more "adult/grown-up" friends/peers probably watch a lot of TV/movies. I would compare enjoying gaming/anime to enjoying a good fiction tv show or movie. The stories can be very similar, it's just the way they're delivered that appeals to different types of people. These friends probably don't sit around watching barney (or whatever child show is popular these days), just like we don't sit around playing some barney video game (unless that's your thing, in which case, enjoy). There's as much adult gaming today as there is child gaming, so the "only kids play games" stigma will go away completely soon enough.

It's your personal life anyway, who cares what people think about you?
If you're having fun being yourself, continue having fun. Having fun also makes you happy, right? Can anybody tell you should be happy? NOPE

As i understand it, DBZ is about to get a revival in the form of a new offical series, so now may be a good time to start on those 500+ episodes and movies.




It has already been released in full it is called Dragon Ball Z Kai.


Dragonball Hoshi brother, not Kai. Kai is original remastered. Hoshi is all new. Admittedly, I know little. Maybe I shall poke.

Wow awesome, didn't know about Hoshi. Looking forward to it.

Also, regarding "500+ episodes and movies" - feel free to skip all the movies IMO ^^

*edit* Hmm after very limited research, it looks like Hoshi was either a hoax or has to do with an upcoming video game TT

You used the word "demographic", so you have clearly transgressed well into adulthood, np. Congratulations!

Thats my favorite xkcd comic!

I agree with what you all said that my interests are mine and I should enjoy them. I realized this quite some years ago so that is not really the issue. I just find it weird that my image of how an adult should behave isn't the same as how I act myself but I still see mysefl as an adult. Maybe its a slow process but some would think that if you think you are an adult you also think the way you act are adultish.

Maybe a bit of a simplistic approach into the entire concept of childhood / adulthood, but I am willing to accept that definition as it would also mean that even I am at least partially adult-like ^^
