This will probably sound wierd.....

But I'm considering retiring from anime fandom by age 30 as I do not want to become a wizard. I feel as though my love of ecchi anime is slowly dwindling as I have recently reached the age of 24. I think I will pursue my other hobbies when I do enter the age of the wizard. All opinions are welcomed.

Well you can still love anime and not become a wizard, you got 6 years. Worst case scenario rape! I'll give you an alibi and help clean up the bodies, it's easy.

Then watch more plot and less PLOT?

Rest assured, it is not anime that is creating the problem.

I don't think watching anime has anything to do with it. The only reason anime would be causing the issue is if it's an obsession. You can get laid with other anime fans, it's not like girls don't like anime and sex.

Make a band?

Exactly

This^^

If my bf ever retired from gaming and anime then our relationship will have serious issues [size=4]or a little sad to say the least, but we'd talk it out.[/h]

Seriously though if you still love this stuff into your 30s and beyond just go with it, my parents are in their mid to late 50s and still play consol games.

6 years before you become a wizard that's a long time. If you really want to not be a wizard go to a club find a drunk and do your business.

Pretty much. I know plenty of kinky chicks and I met them all through FAKKU.

This, but not in question form. Stop treating anime as just anime and treat it like you would any other general form of media. Don't judge the contents from how it's presented to you, but from the contents itself.

And fucking lay off the ecchi anime and find some cute female anime fans outside. You're gonna rot your brain at this rate.

I'm already in a band. Have been since February of last year (was also in another band in 2012 before I moved).

This, and watch less faggotry, in general.
Desu.

Well, it's up to you if you want to give it a rest though I doubt age should do anything with it. I'm going to be 33 in April and even though I'm getting into more of the anime fandom, I really don't feel affected negatively at all by it, just bit of the opposite.

But hey, it's your call.

I'll probably feel sentimental towards anime till the day I die, but yeah it's just another kind of media so nothing to nipah about.

Hear this man.

That's like saying you're going to completely stop playing video games because your love for Madden games is fading.
There are other genres of anime than just Ecchi.

Also what Art said.

>What is a Studio Ghibli?

Do what you have to but realize you may be making a big mistake.

David.... are you a cherry?
