| It's annoying when people say that and they're quick to assume that all anime is for kids. The only one that comes to mind for them is Pokemon, and they'll sometimes say something along the lines of 'oh you like anime? Isn't it for kids? Do you like Pokemon too?' etc. Honestly I just laugh at them for being so ignorant because their knowledge in anime is so small it's like I could easily show you some shows not suited for kids. |

| Nobody has ever said that to me I'd just fukkin idk, pull up the kizumonogatari fight scene or some shit |
No watch list sig cuz "You watch anime in 3 days or 3 months! Such is the proper way!" |
| You will eventually grow out of animu, but it's not the case for manchildren and otaku. |
Help! I need somebody. Help! Not just anybody. Help! You know I need someone. Helpppppp!  |
| Personally never heard that, but this is the same level of argument from the same people who say that video games are for children. It has nothing to do with age at all, because games or anime are just an entertainment medium like any other. It's the same as watching movies, tv shows, or even reading books, just another form of escapism. But anyway, never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience. |

| If anyone would say that I'd just show a brutal scene and say: For children you say? Though a lot of anime is meant for children and younger adults. I don't care. |

| Nothing. I simply watch it and that is all. |
 |
| If I was a kid I might. But as an adult I just don't care. It also helps that in my country their is no stigma against anime so I don't really have to defend anime in day to day life. |

| "Anime is for EVERYONE, you ignorant fool!" :C |
 |
| It's like western animation, there is anime that's meant for kids and meant for adults. Besides, do you know how many pantsu shots are in anime? |

| I show them something like Hellsing Ultimate and ask if they'd show that to their children. If they still say "yes" I show them hentai. If they STILL say yes, I take their children from them. Then again, I'm not one to talk. I didn't give two shits about what my parents did or didn't want me watching. |

| I give out R rated anime recommendations for those people to try out lel. |
I love long running anime + ecchi manga + potatoes = gimme some |
| No, they are like 95% right, the overwhelming majority of anime is indeed made for children. |

In first grade we were watching Happy Tree Friends at the school computer. (Or worse...) Kids really like gory cartoons because it makes them look edgy, which they confuse with mature. |
| "Welp, I guess I'm a kid then!" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ *move on with my life* |
| propose the following thought experiment. Pick a movie that's for adults. Run it through an AI that turns live action into animation. Presumably you would agree that is an animation for adults. Therefore animations for adults are a thing. We can disagree which animations specifically but that's beside the point. |
| I tell them I am a child who enjoys exaggerated storytelling, excessive violence and sexualization of just about everything. |
| I say "Watch this" and show them a clip of Elfen Lied. Usually the puppy. |
| My waifu is the most wonderful waifu. Mai Valentine. We're freaking out that we're running out of time, but to do what? Should i stop and think of that? Is there something i could do to slow it down? Live in a day for once, instead of watch it sprinting by |
| you either show them death note or one punch man if they're taking the topic seriously, if they seem to not care about anything and just want to believe anime is for kids then you simply ignore them, can't fix everything in life or get ppl to agree with your opinion |

| i show them kiss x sis and then ask them, "would you show this to your children?" "do you think this is for children?" if they answer no then they end up contradicting their own earlier statement. generalising anime as a whole to be for children is wrong. there are many animes that exist for children but the whole medium can't be said to be directed at children. and i don't care if someone thinks like that, there's no reason to be pissed, all i feel is pity for them for being so ignorant. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| lmao you gotta be a man child to actually care what other people say |
 |
| Usually I pull out my Uno Reverse card and go "no u" really pwns them #gitwrekt Honestly tho I have never come across anyone who has actually said anything close to that IRL. |
-insert NGE meme here- |
| I honestly don't really care. *proceeds to show them hentai* |
 |
| I'll give em a nice and warming pat on the head |
  MAL is the perfect place to shit talk about people's opinions. |
| Not including hentai, most anime are made for children, statistically speaking. Same as western cartoons. Of course, that doesn't mean that adults can't enjoy them too (I am an adult who enjoys both western and eastern cartoons), but I wouldn't get mad at someone saying that anime are for children. TBH, I just wouldn't really care. *shrug* :P |

| Bit of a sad existence to live if you think that once you turn 18, you shouldn't enjoy anything that's not "adult". At the end of the day I don't care, I'm an adult and I can freely watch cartoons or anime if I see fit. |
| And at his feet they'll cast their golden crowns When the man comes around. |
| Since when being intended for children has become a bad trait? Am I banned from enjoying kiddy things only because I am 30 years old? |
 |
| when people saying that (around 2006), i just think 'They must be never watch anime except from ads' because detective connan even have murder/drug included and for sure it's not for kids (12-). now people treat anime show for young/teen to adult, never heard someone saying anime is kids show anymore except in internet which have different age group system. |
