>anime and manga are niche hobbies that are looked down upon in nippon if you are over the age of 30
I really don't think that's true, from my personal observations while being there.
Maybe the stereotypical shut-in otaku lifestyle is, but the medium is so prevalent in everyday life - from salarymen crowding to read manga at the convenience store and playing anime mobile games on the trains, to seemingly every government or corporate buildings and signs having anime mascots and characters, television programming etc
Hell, there's anime girls on coca-cola bottles over there.

My powerlevel only increases with age.
I may not be able to be a full time NEET anymore but I will NEVER stop being an otaku. I WILL become a creepy ojiisan and an eriito niito.
