The age doesn't matter with any those. Targeting a certain age is basically pointless with anime because there's only anime for young people. None of it is for old folks (40+). What interests adults and teenagers in anime will be probably interest pre-teens and vice versa. The only thing that's really an exception is the actual kid shows. |
That's why we have a label called "males" to consist of that demographic but that doesn't mean age does not matter in specifying the audience either ...
Anime isn't just for young people, EVERYONE can enjoy it and when people mean "young" they are usually not talking the age of 40 or less but about people of less than 18 years of age ...
It's absolutely not true that practically almost all adults or the younger demographic shares the same interests. There's a reason why Shueisha doesn't lump a lot of the material from weekly young jump into weekly shounen jump ...
