Your Guide to Anime & Manga for the Grown-Up Crowd

Finally, an anime blog that gets it.

I’m putting the finishing touches on MidlifeOtaku.com, launching soon for busy adults rediscovering the world of anime and manga. As a middle-aged American salaryman who missed out on this incredible medium in my youth and is now delightfully late to the party, I know what it’s like to juggle 9–5 deadlines and late-night binge sessions.

This isn’t another fan blog for lifelong otaku or teenage superfans—it’s for:

• Professionals sneaking in episodes between meetings

• Parents catching up on Demon Slayer during nap time

• Anyone who thought they were “too old” to start but discovered anime is for everyone

What to expect when we launch:

• Nostalgic deep dives into classics you never knew you loved

• Curated recommendations that actually speak to adult life

• Practical tips for blending otaku passions with grown-up responsibilities

• Honest, down-to-earth reviews from someone still figuring it out

Come hang out with me and fellow late-bloomers. Enter your email below to be the first to know when we go live—and let’s navigate this amazing world together, one episode at a time.

Because it’s never too late to find your new obsession.
