Rules:
- While this is a community for animation and comic fans over 30 years of age, younger visitors are welcome to participate too on the condition that they identify themselves as "under 30" in all posts and comments.
- Be kind. Recognize that not everyone will share your taste in media. If you're going to be mean or snarky about a series you dislike, explain what you didn't like about it (one man's trash is another man's masterpiece).
- NSFW is allowed, but NO PORN please! This isn't a community for that kind of "mature" animation...
Are you:
- At least 30 years old?
- A fan of animation (eastern or western)?
- A fan of comics (eastern or western, print or web)?
- Looking for more series that appeal to an older demographic?
Do you feel like high school dramas and edgelord power fantasies just don't provide you with the same entertainment value they did when you were younger? Are you skeeved out by panty shots and lewd angles of girls young enough to be your daughter? Perhaps you're bored by the "will they won't they" of a bunch of kids freaking out over their first kiss. Maybe everything is starting to feel like a slurry of tired old tropes. But if despite all this you still enjoy the drawn medium, even after aging out of its key demographic, welcome!
Let's help each other find some animation/comics that are a bit more age-appropriate (or at least that don't make you go "hey, isn't this just a repackaged version of [series from 20 years ago]?"). Reviews, recommendations, requests, laments, memes all welcome.

I had gotten into One Piece briefly back in college, and had pretty much forgotten about it. I think it was around the Skypeia arc that it became difficult to find episodes, and I just gave up on it.
In the meantime, I graduated, got married, bought a house in the suburbs, and had kids who are now elementary school age.
Then I heard about the live action show and remembered how much I loved that show nearly 20 years ago. I enthusiastically recommended it to my wife, explaining that there had been 1000 episodes for us to watch as a family. I remembered it being fun, wholesome, maybe a little violent at times, but let's watch it!
Oh right, the boobs. I had forgotten about the boobs.
and the 2 inch waists
It's okay though, Buggy makes up for everything.
Guess I should check it out
