A lot has been made of my supposedly being a 42 year old guy who watches anime (I'm not 42 btw). So is anime meant for kids, or teens, or older people, or all of the above? What age limits are there before it becomes "uncool" to watch anime?

I doubt your average under-17 person would enjoy Now and Then, Here and There. And how many kids would understand Ergo Proxy or Elfen Lied or FLCL?

I wonder, is it worse to be an older guy who has passed a lot of life's milestones, to go back and enjoy something like anime, versus a young adult in his or her prime who spends a lot of time watching anime?
