I’m always surprised by how young the main characters are supposed to be in animes and managas. Naruto is 13? Ash (from Pokemon) is 10? Sailor Moon is 14? What?

It leads to some funny discussions on the internet when people who are usually into anime tries to figure out how old characters from western animations/games/whatever are. Too many seem to think that Sniper from TF2 [link] is in his 20’s.

As a wise Japanese man once said, “If you haven’t saved the world at the age of 14, you’re just not trying”

Interestingly, the translations usually age all characters by two years. So that makes them even younger.

The average Pokemon trainer is suposed to start with a lvl 5 moster and become the very best like no one ever was in less than a year and beat the champion (who spent most of his/her life training)
