Personally I wish I gave a shit about anime. Especially for the kind of kids I tend to see in behavioral health (depressed, socially anxious, few friends, etc) anime is usually big with kids of all ethnicities

I used to always hear about “my hero academia” or something but now it’s mostly “demon slayer” whatever the hell that is. The plot is often some high school kid who is half demon or the only “good” demon in the world or some shit

The little kids, especially autistic kids, love their Minecraft, Roblox, and for some reason autistic young kids often have a thing for trains

If the kid is using extreme language like “I could just kill that guy for what he did to me” they almost always are playing FPS games like COD or Fortnite. Any extreme language with either a lot of cussing or casual threats, that kid is playing FPS all day

A lot are either into YouTube or TikTok. I dunno shit about TikTok, but kids like to talk about who they follow on YouTube. Often young girls are into uploading their own TikTok vids, usually lip syncs of songs

You hardly ever hear about kids having non-screen interests unless their parents forced them to get into a sport. Otherwise the only physical pursuit I tend to occasionally hear about is skating

That’s off the top of my head

Many (most?) kids have a train phase. Train toys are extremely popular. It doesn’t mean anything.

After a presentation I can usually tell who is paying attention in the group of kids.

Just want to relate to the next prodigy that could do far more.

I will try to play it safe. Go to their level. Try to connect.

I have some cover. A lot of times it is my accent or my improper English that lets me get away with mistakes.

Just got to be fun. I think, I will stick to the safer defined words like (sigma, drip, for real for real and mad lit).

Honestly, I find language way to intriguing. I study language too much to try ignore this opportunity. I am pretty excited.

I am a nerdy scientist might as well Go off King[45] about it.

it's never too late my friend. my wife and i are pushing 40 and started to watch anime a few years ago. and by "watch anime" i mean we have seen a few.

basically the ones you mentioned like my hero academia. one punch man is also great, maybe start there, because it sort of makes fun of the entire anime hero concept itself and is very self aware. hunter x hunter was cool overall, def geared for a younger crowed but was enjoyable anyway.

I've tried and tried and tried with anime, but I can't get into it. I think it's the dialogue and the overly emotional\cringey situations and suspense building that rubs me the wrong way. I did enjoy the Cyberpunk Edgerunners and watched a handful of the Avatar Airbender kid (which I was told wasn't actually anime, who knew?). Aside from that the only other ones I can say I liked was Akira, Ninja Scrolls, and Iria Zeiram. Maybe it's just not for me.

It's worth mentioning that an enduring love of trains is also a feature of socialists and other intellectuals.
