I just turned 24 earlier this month, so I'm not quite 30 yet. I don't feel so bad about being into anime at my age after reading this thread! Sorry, my dad teases me relentlessly calling it "childish cartoons". He just doesn't get it (but he will sit around all day watching the 3 stooges...yeah, that's mature). When I tell my mom all of my friends are into it, she is like "oh, what, those 10 year olds from the martial arts school?"...I'm like, no mom, people at work that are older than me... she doesn't get it either. Anyway, nice to see there are some older people into anime/manga.
