I don't get "growing out of" anime, I feel like that's what people say when they just watch flavor-of-the-month shit and never get into the classics

Most people who "grow out of" anime have seen like, a handful of shitty anime on tv or something and decided they are done with the whole genre, it's like reading Tom Clancy and saying "ok done with books forever now"

Ew, if someone ever said that after reading Tom Clancy, I'd probably have them shipped off to a deserted island so they couldn't infect anyone else with their dumb...

Extreme? Yes. Effective? Extremely.

But a lot of us who were anime fans in the late 90s/early 00s did move on to other fandoms, even though we had to get old series fansubbed on VHS at first because that's all we could get. Then DVDs started coming out and we got more series, many of which were classics. And yet many of the people I met through the old anime fandoms -- which all of us were active in for years -- are now into different things.

Tastes change. It isn't really fair to generalize that "most" anime fans only watch crappy series because it feels like it puts blame on a large group of people for having bad taste (or bad luck) when that really might not have been the case at all. My friends and I will still sometimes watch anime (classics and newer series), but it isn't the same as when we were younger.

Your argument is valid, to be sure, but I just want to bring up another point.

Nah. Most of the friends I met when I was a teenager into anime are now in live action/Western fandoms, and we were all about the 90s classics back in the day. I still like Utena, and I have a soft spot in my heart for Sailor Moon... but otherwise, the aesthetics and semetics of anime are really not appealing to me anymore. And I do think I've grown out of it, because my sensibility now that I'm an adult is very dry and ironic, and there's not really much anime that fills that need for me.
