Ladies and Gentlemen in terms of anime which sort of anime you prefer to generally watch?

[FinalFantasyBro]

In case everyone is slightly confused on the terminology, these names isn't companies or publishers instead these are demograph of course don't let that steer you away or checking anything out remember everyone is allowed to watch anything even if they may or may not technically be the target demographic.

Kodomomuke: Anime that is usually targeted for small children, most popular examples are Pokemon, Bakugan, and Doreamon.

Shojo: This anime is mostly geared for teenagers who are female. Shojo anime consist of Sailor Moon, Deep Love, and Marmalade Boy.

Shonen: The complete opposite of shojo if shojo is for girls than obviously shonen is for teen boys. Their anime consist of Dragonball, Naruto, and One Piece.

Seinen: The adult men main focused anime, seinen anime consist of Cowboy Bebop, Berserk, and Car Graffiti JK.

Josei: And last but not least Josei, and as you guess Josei is for adult women if Seinen is for adult men. Noticable josei anime are Loveless, Doll or You're My Pet!

Those are officially all of the noticable demographic but remember don't let that stop you reading any manga or watching anime from any known demograph. So men and women my question is which target audience in terms of anime you consider to have the best anime to watch for yourself?

Kodomomuke

Shojo

Shonen

Seinen

Josei

I love me Shounen battle manga.. Cause Seinen has battle manga also like One Punch Man and Berserk.. But Shounen is my go to because of the boisterous confident protagonist, the stories woven into the fights, the usually colorful cast of characters, and the fact that some can get very dark without going disturbingly dark.. Don't get me wrong I don't mind a little of that here and there, but Seinen anime can do some downright disturbing stuff sometimes..

[TheSpaceGnome]

I agree with all of that.

[JDavid25]

@TheSpaceGnome Most definitely.. 😎

[Jacobbbb]

Call me a feminine guy or whatever but I'm one of the few dudes that enjoys shoujo. Like something about cute romance shit that does it for me lmao. Fruits Basket is probably one of the bests in that genre for me, especially the remade one holy shit

Otherwise seinen. I enjoy the heavy psychological adult themes and the otherwise complicated narrative of them which I've grown more fond of as I've gotten older

[DizzyDesii]

Im not big on anime but as a teen i liked Peach Girl and Itazura Na Kiss. Im not sure if those were a mix of Shojo and Josei. I also enjoyed Akame Ga Kill which i guess is Shonen or Seinen or Josei. Heck if i know

[FinalFantasyBro]

Cool Choices

[DizzyDesii]

Yea i just watched each for the romantic scenes so its just better i stick to soap operas so i can truly hit on real celeb men like i want to lmao. Its weird wanting to bang grey haired Toji in the last pic 😂

[TheSpaceGnome]

which show is the top gif?

[DizzyDesii]

@TheSpaceGnome akame

[TheSpaceGnome]

I like the art style.

[DizzyDesii]

@TheSpaceGnome it was a good show with too many sad deaths

[TheSpaceGnome]

hmm, I hate it when they kill off good characters, lots of good shows feel worse from that.

[DizzyDesii]

@TheSpaceGnome his show waits close to the end

[LovingLoverReturned]

Shonen is more interesting. Haven't watched anime in a while but I basically only saw Shonen... and I read manga, had bookmarked aside sailor moon but never reached anywhere... I went through a few Shonen though.

[NathanDavis]

Shonen, mostly...

as the artwork and the animation as well, tend to expand a lot more and be more creative

[FinalFantasyBro]

Plus majority of the famous anime and manga that is well received seems like they fall under Shonen for majority of the time, I guess people really like their battle anime.

[ShadezMcgee]

Namely seinin, but indulged in shonen while in middle school and high school.

[FinalFantasyBro]

I love me some Berserk, I been interested in finding other seinen stuff has any recommendations.

[ShadezMcgee]

Hellsing, Attack on Titan, Steins Gate, Psycho Pass, Parasyte, Berserk, Black Lagoon, Samurai Champloo, Akira, Ghost in the Shell/Ghost in the Shell 2nd GiG, One Punch Man, The Big O, Death Note,

[ShadezMcgee]

Cowboy Bebop in there as well, but I didn't mention it since you used it as an example for seinen

[TheSpaceGnome]

Mostly shonen and kodomomuke with shonen being more interesting for me.

Some seinen is good, but most are too dark/depressing for my taste.

I like action, epic battles, comedy, and ocassionally slice of life stuff in my anime.

[MariaDeLuna]

Ngl, I like sports animes. Thus I watch Slam Dunk, Haikyuu!!, SK8 the Infinity, etc. I also use VideoPower RED to download said animes. Here's an article for more info. animegrab. me/download-animation-videos/download-anime-sk8-the-infinity/

[Yoshinochan]

i like shojo, that includes magical girl series too right?, though i also enjoy a lot of other genres too

[Loveisgirthy]

Why does no one talk about Clannad

[FinalFantasyBro]

What demograph is Clannad

[Loveisgirthy]

Probably Shojo

[FinalFantasyBro]

Neat

[Loveisgirthy]

Maybe it is geared toward teenage girls I don't know but it has the best sad scenes I've ever seen in any media. Has feeling so much by the end. Watched it 5 times now all the way through, still cryin'. Hard cry

[FinalFantasyBro]

That is great if it is a good manga, maybe I should check it out.

[viaelliot]

Nothing specific, really, but I like ones that have strong female characters, check them out:

Cartoons are for young children.

[TheSpaceGnome]

The very large number of 18-50 year olds who watch cartoons say otherwize.

[msc545]

None!
