The youngest boomers were in their mid and late 30s when those aired, so no.

Then you're using it wrong. Boomer doesn't mean people in their 30s or 40s. Boomers are people born between 1946 and 1964.

They're considered Millennial animes.

Boomer Animes, would be earlier - such as: Dragonball (Not Z), Voltron, Dirty Pair, Gunbuster, Laughing Target, Fire Tripper, Violence Jack.

The 80's were not when boomers were growing up. Especially not the late 80's.

Ive seen people in their early 20s get called boomers by people the same age, simply because they like something different, so the term boomer has been misused by kids. And by kids I mean anyone who acts childish. They wanna call anyone who acts older a boomer, suppose I can call anyone who acts like jackass a kid. (Ok boomer)

The 80's were not when boomers were growing up. Especially not the late 80's.

Lies, the Boomer generation ended at 1964 - therefore in 1984 they'd be 20 years old, and in 1989 they'd be 25 years old - plenty young enough to watch anime, especially back in the 80s.

Also, the Anime Conventions, and Fanclubs were all borne from the Sci-fi conventions of the 1970s by teens/adults, but didn't really take off until the 80s ~ "Fred Patten describes his first exposure to anime at the Los Angeles Science Fiction Society (LASFS) in 1976 when he met up with another fan who was an early adopter of Sony's betamax technology. By May 1977 he and a group of fans founded the first anime club in the United States, the Cartoon/Fantasy Organization (C/FO)" - https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/1367877905055679 (Or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fansub, if you can't read the Journal)

Anime didn't explode til then, also - "Until the late 1970s, Japanese community TV stations' broadcasts were aimed exclusive at very young children." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fansub (This is no academic paper).

Most of the Fansub scene was dominated by Boomers, and they all fansubbed 80s stuff.

There were plenty of proto-weebs in the 80s. My parents were very much weeb teenagers.
