Look at myself sure. I'm 19+ and still love watching DBZ. I find it better than half the crap they show on TV here, like X-Factor, The Voice, and such.

I'm with you on that. Those shows suck and are full of actual immaturity and generate negative press plus they are staged and yet they are somehow enjoyed by the masses and are taken seriously by grown adults. DBZ on the other hand is an honest show that is made primarily for kids in Japan but can be enjoyed by any age group and has lots of mature themes going on.

Look, you need to define the word immature.
If I watch a show which seems like it's for younger audiences, and I love it, and most of it's fandom are about the same age as me, then f**k it, I'm immature.
Hell, I WANT to be immature for the rest of my life, if that's the case.

I have all 9 seasons of dbz in remastered an di have to keep them safe in my closet where my dad would not find them or else he would throw them away and tell me to grow up. I know it is probably immature to do something like that but I do not want him taking away something from me that I like or enjoy or something that makes me happy.
Dude you're 19, you're considered an adult in most places, stand up for yourself. If your dad tries to get rid of your DVD's politely tell him to get lost. If someone is so hung up on someone watching something that they would go to those lengths who's the real immature one? Being mature is about being able to make rational decisions, socialise properly and handle yourself in tough situations and just knowing all around how to keep your s*** together. A man could have nothing but books on world history and engineering on his shelf and he could still be less mature than some dude who collects Power Rangers/Super Sentai stuff.

"When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty, I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up."C.S Lewis

The dudes beyond right, if you're going to go around going "oh I only watch the news and crime dramas, I'm so much more mature than you." You are extremely childish.

I personally don't think it's childish... I mean, my family likes it (except for my siblings) and they're much older than 19.. but it's all opinion really.

Personally I see maturity as having the ability to stand on your own two feet. Any more than that and people are just trying to control what you like IMO (and I've glimpsed into that world, I don't see how people want to be there...).

Watching Dragon Ball Z is no different to playing golf or driving around on your super badass motorbike or other stuff you might enjoy IMO, so if you really like it just do it anyway. People have their own lives to drive, not yours.

I know it is probably immature to do something like that but I do not want him taking away something from me that I like or enjoy or something that makes me happy.
Man, I saw this thread and just felt like i had to throw my two cents in.

Let me get a little personal here: I'm 26, and just went through my first marriage (and divorce). The biggest mistake I made was giving into pressures like you're describing; I was always really into playing guitar, rock music comics/manga, and anime. Anyway, that stuff was not flying with my gf (later wife), so I dropped it. I put a lot of my stuff in storage, and sold off my comics and guitar (the guitar was a 72 Les Paul, and I had a full MacFarlane Amazing Spider Man run). So for four years, I basically played a character, or maybe a better way to put it is that I walled off part of myself. I ended up being miserable, and really wasn't enjoying my life. I got out of that situation (thankfully no kids involved), I'm back playing in a cover band and enjoying the things that mattered to me.

So here's my point: Maybe I can buy those comics again, but they aren't MY comics, and maybe I can buy another Les Paul, but it isn't MY Les Paul. On top of that, I basically wasted four years of my life conforming to someone else's idea of who I should be. The lesson I learned (the hard way) is that the point of life is to be happy and your true self, not to conform to anyone else's idea of who you should be, even if you love and care about those people. Selling yourself out is no way to live and a recipe to end up miserable, so just do your thing and as long as you're working/supporting yourself or going to school no one has any right to criticize you.

Well said. A few years back I almost made the mistake of selling my old Pokémon games for my Gameboy. I wasn't actually pressured to get out of it but I knew it wasn't considered "cool" to still be playing Pokémon. Thankfully I came to my senses before I could sell them and now happily play through them from time to time just like the good old days. Funnily enough once I went to College there were lots of people in my class getting back into it and even buying the new games.

DBZ on the other hand is a different story. I never once considered removing it from my life. Not for a second. It was simply too amazing a show and had been part of my life for so long that I wouldn't even humour the thought of being without it. From time to time people would say "Aren't you too old for that?" but I would just think "Screw em" and continued getting my Season sets and the new games each year(well until Ultimate Tenkaichi that is because that was so bad). If somebody can't appreciate how great DBZ is then it's their loss. Don't let them make it your loss too.

I had a similar thing with Vocaloid, I used to be teased constantly by my family with crap like "it's for girls" and "you only like it because the mascots are anime girls in skimpy outfits" in the end if I wanted to listen to Vocaloid music in peace I would have to hide in the corner late at night with headphones.

I think this is a good read.

I don't think it matters as long as you are having fun. If you enjoy something, it should never be a problem unless you're hurting other people. So no, it isn't.

Thank you for your support. I don't see why parents judge their children so much if they see them watching something like dbz and think they need to grow up. When I really think about it I believe maturity is most opinion based. One thing a person sees as immature may not be seen as immature by another person. I think at some point everyone needs to grow up and move out of their house and been on their own and have a sub also supporting themselves. I think at some point maybe some tv shows do get a little childish but not dbz. I don't see why parent do that to their kids. If it makes them happy let them watch it. If I said something like that to my dad he would say I guess you like watching childish things and not be an adult. I got one question. At some point do you think you should not listen to everything your parents say and not care as much what they think of your now?
