hmm...

you know, that IS quite true. Not focused on adults. But I guess it has something to do with a large portion of the audience being teens. I mean, surely we want something we can relate to.
Haha, actually I can't give much comment because I don't watch anime ( unless you count the very few episodes of Rave and Gensomaden Saiyuki). And the only manga I've ever read is Shaman King, and that was about a year ago. There are adults in Rave, actually. And in Saiyuki too, in fact all of them are adults except the little kid (whom I guess is the anime's version of Sun Wu Kong) - i think.
I wouldn't say it's that limited to teens. It's not really the point that adult characters are being neglected, just that, they're not so important. Hence why bother focusing so much on then anyway. Maybe some people dont' even notice that certain characters in anime are adults, because of the way they act. Most of them don't act like your typical adult. For example, the so-called adults in Shaman King -- a gangster guy in search of 'the best home-sweet-home', a genius doctor who carries his wife's skeleton in his coat and summons her out for battle, a samurai spirit, a father who is bent on pushing his son to be Shaman King so he can regain former glory, a handful of stauch Christians who want to win so that they can rain revenge on the boy who killed their loved ones......................................
get what I'm saying???
All in all, i think it's a fuss over nothing.
But, u know, don't take my word for it because i'm probably just a wannabe.
And I still can't wait to watch FFVII:AC !!!!!!!
wakakakaka.......
