Taking the "Age Twelve" Challenge

My scattershot but still time-swallowing “manual inspection” of online feeds, which I’ve alluded to before, had me notice some people finding “anime that came out when they were twelve.” I suppose the question had first been posed as subtle corporate promotion of the movie A Silent Voice, the main characters of which had started at twelve, but all the same I got to wondering what I’d find, being older than a good many anime fans out there (if still not quite as old as some). To name the titles, of course, is to give away just how old I am.
