? Anime has always overwhelmingly been aimed at young people from its inception, the only time that wasn't the case was the 90's ova boom in the West when importers decided not to bring in all the family friendly shows being made in Japan in favour of edgy sex and violence stuff, and that ended with the Japanese financial crisis and pokemon
Adults who like anime are overgrown man-children. Yes, I am talking about myself :cri:
I get why shonen is so popular, but I couldn't see myself primarily consuming media that's exclusively children protagonists. Not only would it get old really quickly, I've watched enough shonen w/ friends that the tropes are just so stale

This implies that they only want to see underage girls in anime...
