Do you still enjoy watching cartoons even if you know you are already old enough?
What kind of cartoons that you are watching? Are you following it?
How come you are still watching cartoons even if you are already old?
Are you always following it?
I used to follow the Great Teacher Onizuka at Animax because it has a comprehensive story about the teacher. Unfortunately we don't have animax on our cable that is why I can't be able to watch any cartoons.

i'm a mother of two and i enjoy watching animes as well even now. i don't really remember how i got started on animes and mangas but once i started, it was addicting you could say.
but there are specific genres that i enjoy watching. there must be romance and of course some action as well. i've written down about some animes and mangas that i've enjoyed on my blog so that if i ever want to re-read or re-watch something, i can go to my blog to check it out. i don't have animax as well but it's fine as i prefer to watch animes with their original voices and with eng subs. the voice actors are all so good.

That is actually one of the good parenting so that they will understand more.

I enjoy watching cartoons. They add a lot of humour to my life. Cartoons now a days have interesting and informative up content. I like to watching transformers and like the way they transform to adopt to a situation.

I don't have any idea that how come I can't appreciate the cartoon version of transformers but only the movie. By the way I like devastator.

That's a big Yes to that! I still watch cartoons or anime as I prefer to call it. Although I get surprised knowing even some of my instructors (who are in their mid 20s) also watch anime I understand why they are still watching them and hooked on them. I guess there's just something in animes that movies couldn't beat. I like the stories and effect on animes but it also depends on how they are created. Recently, I'm interested in those supernatural, adventure, mystery and action stuff (with a few romantic scenes if you must). It just depends on the person some never liked cartoons or animes like some who never liked sports or whatnot.

Yes there is something in Animes or even cartoons that can't beat on movie. Just like for example when I am watching the Great Teacher Onizuka there is something that I like on cartoons compare to live action.

I really love cartoons and animations. As a matter of fact, my favorite movie is an animated children's film.
I've watched cartoons all of my life and don't plan to stop any time soon. There is something almost magical in watching cartoons. The characters can do virtually anything and everything. Some of episodes end up having very well thought out plots, too, which is a great addition for us adults.
Cartoons are light, cheery, and funny. They make you smile. Life is too serious to skip out on something like that just because we're adults ;)

I also agree that watching cartoons can really make you smile despite of the problems that you have. It can also makes us move on to the other things that will make us sad. When I am watching the GTO sometimes it makes me cry because of the moral lesson that it gave.

I completely agree! Have you seen that new movie 'Ponyo on a Cliff by the Sea' by Miyazaki? The way you described cartoons made me think that you would really enjoy it :)

I think I am still childish at heart. I like watching cartoons although I am not a child any more. Some cartoons are really good and funny until today, such as Tom and Jerry. And the cartoons like Robot is very meaningful.
I love China

I agree and then there are cartoons that are not meant for kids but adults. There is nothing really wrong to watch cartoons even if you are not a kid anymore. There is no such law about it and yet I don't think that is the basis of maturity.

I love Tweety Bird and I have those stuff of that bird. I just thought that he is a girl but then my cousin told me that he is a guy. I really like that Tweety that he looks so cute and very baby. Maybe someday if I have a kid whether that is a guy or girl then the main theme is still TWEETY Bird. I even bought Tweety Bird doll for $48 in New York. Well I wonder if it is still available.

Definitely. We are all kids deep inside and besides cartoons are funny, they take your stress away.

I agree with it and of course it does not have anything to do with maturity but yet it is about being stress free.

I watch anime from time to time. I don't think anyone is ever too old to enjoy an anime series or movie. The last anime series I watched was Cowboy Bebop.
I haven't watched any American cartoons since I was 19. At that time I caught some episodes of the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon. It was surprisingly good since it slightly follows the original mirage comic book.

Good thing that you were able to follow the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I like watching that when I was a kid and it was aired during Fridays at night time. That was after TV patrol.

I still like to watch cartoon movies like the current one that is very popular in China entitled with Pleasant Goat and the Big Big Wolf. It is very attractive and interesting to me. I like to watch it with my small son and sometimes I watch it alone. lol

I agree on that sometimes the cartoons makes you relax that make you laugh and happy. Compare to the dramas sometimes you would feel degraded depending on the story. So I don't really agree that cartoons are meant for kids. I mean the kids shows are those that can make every people happy.

It is nice for being a kid at heart. It will make you relax just like playing with kids.

It is really fun to watch cartoons. Actually there is nothing wrong if you want to watch that unless if you are also acting like kids when watching cartoons. But anyway just continue to watch it since I agree it is great.

About following i don't think i am following any i just watch them for entertainment.. Currently i am watching naruto shippuuden anime series... I think its quite cool.

So it means that if you are watching Naruto you are not really following it but it just so happens that you are watching it if you feel?

I don't know if I really watch cartoons anymore, but I do watch anime! Sailor Moon will always hold a special place in my heart and I recently watched AIR TV and Clannad (not sure if anyone's heard of them? they're great!) so I guess if you count anime as cartoons then yes~! :)
