Description "Kids Interest?" Really? So all the manga/anime/game fans out there are "kids?" Nice

Saw this at a Borders the other day (after reading that Otaku USA magazine! dude! Fruits Basket!)

I laughed and was somewhat annoyed by this at the same time. It always bugs me that anime/manga/games and animation are thought to be for kids by the general public. I've come across this several times, even within my own family. Animation, games, and Japanese shows/comics are not just for kids! Just ask the hundreds of teen and adult cosplayers and the teenage/adult people I always see in the manga section of that same Borders!

I admit I used to think anime and manga stuff was stupid I know right! me! But then I gave it a chance and now its one of my obsessions! If a lot of the people who think this way actually gave this awesome genre of entertainment a chance, I bet they'd be surprised!

So to all my fellow fans out there, I'm sorry people are like this and keep loving animanga! And to those people who think like this, well, ur wrong. Some of us may be kids at heart, but we're not kids!

p.s. u can tell I'm in between drawings right now. Thats always when I start uploading Motivational/Demotivational Posters!

Update 6/14/11: This was so stupid! I had to fight to keep this picture! I was forced by the DA staff to fill out a Permission form for this picture! And it's my picture!! I had to give myself permission to use this photo! Oh no! I used this picture without my permission! I'm gonna sue myself! Good grief, there really are some stupid rules!

update 4/21/2011: OMG!!! Look at all the comments, faves, and page views!! Thank you sooo much everyone! I love reading ur opinion on this! It's fun hearing what y'all think! I'll try my best to respond to the comments, but it may take me a while!
Hooray for respectful debates, discussion, and opinions! Y'all r awesome!

Dang! U don't get these magazines? that sux! at least there's a lot online! but I'm not surprised you don't get Otaku USA in Britain! lol! (though I heard it was realesed in Japan! Go figure!)

And yeah! Kids would not understand why Naruto calls Jeriaya "Pervy Sage" and they should not be seeing the Sexy Jutsu! "mommy, why's his nose bleeding?" there are so many things that aren't Kid-friendly in manga!(but thats what also makes them hilarious! )

btw, love ur icon!

ikr! i look everywhere but, hell, there's nothing- they ADVERTISE them in the back of manga books, but never sell them! its always 'US only'! really? so they get your magazines on the other side of the world, but not on the other side of the atlantic? >.<

'pervy sage' was edited out when they showed naruto on TV over here! good thing there is online stuff or i probably wouldn't even like anime with the censored stuff on the kid's channels that just seem cheesy. lol XD nose-bleeds, bishies and inuendos, endearments of anime/manga to many, not suitible for children -.-

why thankyou! yours is pretty awesome too

ah yeah i've heard of chrunchyroll, i used to use it a little while back but it kinda made my computer run slow- its been fixed sinse then though so yeah, back to crunchyroll it is!
i dont really download though- not because of the law, but because my pc is almost a decade old ^^'

thats a lot of money for a magazine O.o rather go get my manga fix from a book store than pay that much ^^''' at least it supports the makers though

i noe... it imports them so its $30... made me sad...

still u might want to invest in a better comp, cause at the rate anime is going with the blu-ray quality anime out, and general quality increasing urs might not b able to run the new anime...
Still thats a few years away... think of all the money it saves in the long run, and u can still support the makers by donating at certain sites...

damn i feel for you

D: i know, but we can't really afford it :/ argh, who knows, we might win the lottery by then anyway, eh? ;D and i support makers with manga books from books stores (when i can afford it) and hmv for anime (see last bracket) I WILL FIND A WAY TO GET MY ANIME, EVEN IF I HAVE TO DRAW IT MYSELF! >

still i get my manga of Crazy's manga, which basically is manga that isnt released in solid format and needs 2 b read electronically...
for the 1s that are solid i usually download and if i lyk go out and buy the books, no point having bad manga... takes up 2 much space...

Drawing anime is impractical lol... whats the point u already noe the storyline
