Anime are about kids because a lot of anime is aimed at kids. A general assumption of modern artists and cartoon studios is that kids only want to see shows about kids (like making new seasons of Teen Titans but not Superfriends). Probably the worst offender of this sort are Mecha anime (anime about large robots fighting) which often exist for the explicit purpose of selling toys to small children. The main character is always a middle schooler or high schooler, and he always has the most powerful mecha by a massive margin (no dramatic tension in fights), and he's often not even a soldier-in-training or cadet, he's just a regular schmuck who gets a robot. As he effortlessly defeats his opponents, he learns about the power of friendship or unleashes a terrible secret or you know whatever cliched plot. Also, his robot gets at least one major upgrade per season, or has multiple sets of armor it can wear, so that the toymakers can sell even more toys. Also every robot is designed to be as aesthetically pleasing as possible and not at all like a real robot would be, because why not.


Those are money milking shows lol.
You will literally never see anyone remembering how good those shows were.
For example, the better mecha animes would be evangelion, RaXephon, gundam series (they have alternate series for kids and adults, like gundam 00 was for adults whereas gundam age is for kids) while the money milking mecha animes would be crap like.... i don't even remember them.


You sir have excellent taste. That and "Bokurano: Ours" are probably two of my favorites.

There is a whole lot of Seinen out there also. Not everything is aimed at kids. Like most forms of media there are different genres that suit different demographics.


Yeah, I'm not saying you don't have good anime or anime aimed at adults out there. I consider myself a connoisseur of anime and I think there's really good stuff out there, even in the mecha genre. If the question is what's the deal with all this kid MCs, the answer is that a good proportion of anime, most of anime, is aimed at kids. It's a diverse genre with all kinds of stuff though.


I have only watched two mecha anime, Accel World and Eureka Seven. Both were pretty good. I only started watching anime in May though so i'm a noobie.


I would beg to differ.

I think we need to differenciate anime types properly first.

There are those anime like vanguard, beyblade etc. That arr oobviouly meant to sell toys to children.

However, there are also anime like gundam 00, madoka or clannad, which may seem like something kids watch, but you don't really want kids near those shows.

What i feel is that these themes appeal to most of their viewerbase (read: otakus and weeabos), which are their main consumers who buy their merchandise. If they started making adult animes (welcome to the NHS, etc), they will never gather as large as a following as more appealing animes like steinsgate.


Only watched Steins Gate and Clannad out of all those you mentioned so I have trouble forming a point of reference for your argument.

Anyone Watched Mirai Nikki? That is about High Schoolers but is CERTAINLY not for kids.


Oh god yes. You could drive a truck through the plot-holes, but holy geezus christ is it entertaining.

This is pretty much what happens in all mafia games anyway

Aldnoah.Zero is actually an excellent anime, even though it drags a little bit in the middle. Mecha anime are typically awful, and by virtue of not being awful, Aldnoah.Zero is excellent. If you imagine it as being a better version of what SEED was supposed to be (an homage to original gundam), it fills the role REALLY well. It has a very similar plot but everything feels better, the stakes feel higher, the MC isn't a whiny bitch, he isn't even a shouting overconfident dude. It's... amazingly not-bad.


Alright. Just marathoned through the first 6 episodes, because fuck school.

I understand this is the half-way point of the show/season/whatever-is-out-right-now.

+ Show Spoiler +
This MC... you could replace him with a computer, and I don't think the series would actually lose anything.

Like... in a series that's all too ready to hammer home the loss, horrors, and trauma of war (also, LOL at PTSD-san), how can you have such an emotionally cold guy at the head of it all?

It feels like they tried to give this world a Yang Wen-li, yet removed everything that made Yang a good character. Instead, I get this Robot McBadass which while entertaining, is so unsatisfying.

I hope this improves, because the art and the setting are quite nice. But the characters... I can appreciate when anime-stereotypes are done properly (see: Trails in the Sky)... but all the characters here are just poorly fleshed-out one-dimensional seterotypes.

I totally agree. He's the only mildly interesting character so far...

While it's pretty, the window-dressing only does so much. A show is only as good as its characters and story. If it didn't, Sword Art Online would be a good anime. .

3rd party

I certainly wouldn't mind claims, but I don't know what incentive 3rd parties would have to claim.
