New day, new post! For today's blog post, I will be talking about a somewhat common theme in anime that I absolutely hate. That is, when characters are hundreds to thousands of years old, but still attracted to young characters. For example, when vampires fall in love with teenagers. This isn't specific to anime, but it does happen quite often. This also applies to magical characters who look young but absolutely are not young. Just because they look the same age, it doesn't mean they are. One of the exceptions to this rule is Kanna from Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid. She is young physically and mentally because dragons age much slower than humans. Because of this, it isn't odd for her to like someone who would be at the same age level as her. However, most of the characters who fall into this category are mentally older and only their physical bodies don't age. Because of this, them liking teenagers is pretty much the same as them liking a child. Even if they physically look young, they are very much not young. This doesn't mean they can't like anyone, either. It just means they should probably look for someone older who would actually understand them better. There's nothing wrong with someone looking younger than they are; the problem is when they use their looks to attract minors. But, these are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. I know this is a pretty weird topic that not very many people care about, but it really creeps me out when an anime features someone who's very old being attracted to someone very young. It's kind of awful. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!
