Shoujo Vs Shounen
He..he...I've been waiting to post this topic:
Ok, so my peoples, what's your choice of anime? (or manga) Shojo is for little kids While I beg to differ on my own opinion right there, a lot of Shojo is for kids, little kids. I.e: Hello Kitty, Card Captor Sakura, Tokyo Mew Mew, Ojamajo Do Re Mi I can't name one Shojo that is inended for a crowd above 13+ 13+ shojos: Di Gi Charat, Azumanga Daioh (that's all I can think of) Shouen attracts a lot of ages, and it can be categorized like this: Sheer violence: Um.....Naruto?? (I don't know) Sheer Fanservice: Puni Puni Poemi, Chobits, Love Hina Male-attracting plot: A.i Love You, Pocket Monsters, Digimon Sheer Smut: {insert some adult-only show here} Shouen sells waaaay better than Shojo: I mean, What could sell better than violence & Smut? BTW: My series, Tokyo Hime is Shouen. It's really...erm....not Little childrenish My choice is Shouen, Why? I'm a huuuuuuge Shouen Fan, A majority of Anime I love is shouen, Sure, I lovd Shojo just as much: CCS, TMM, Di Gi Charat, ODoremi, Sailor Moon, Azumanga Daioh But: Love Hina, Exel Saga, Tokyo Hime, Chobits, Puni Puni Poemi, Pocket Monsters, Digimon (yes, I like Puni Puni Poemi, so sue me. sure, it's not for children, but I don't really give a flip, it's....ON KRAWK! *watches trailer and listrens to Poemi dentsu Poi*Poemi is soo....um..ahem) (of course i love my cute lil' ol series, Tokyo Hime) Edit: I spelled Shoujo wrong!!! Puni Puni~ |

Wee! Puni Puni~ |
This goes in Other Anime and Manga. ^_^; *moves*
Anyway, I really have no preference. I'll read (or watch) either one, as long as the plot or characters appeal to me. o_O And btw, it's shounen... with the "n" in there. ^_^; |
Arigatao Gozamais!
Aa, sorry to Shounen and Shoujo, Need to fix that....later. Puni Puni~ |
Well, it really doesn't matter to me. I like shoujo because most of it does not have anything bad in it, from what I've seen. Shounen is aimed towards an older audience, I guess, and it tends to have more... mature stuff in it. o_o
Tokyo Mew Mew is shoujo, apparently, and it's my second favorite Anime! There's no cursing in it, nothing bad, and it's all at a level that I enjoy and understand. It's more for girls my age; it's not just for little kids. There's romance, humor, and action all in one. Pokemon, on the other hand, is shounen, I guess, but it's my favorite Anime! I really like it - When there's a lot of bad stuff in a show, then it just takes away all of the enjoyment of watching it. Atleast, that's my opinion. |
Yup. Tmm, isn't for little little kids, I agree. But still, my fav. anime is Chobits, despite all of the stuff in it.
Puni Puni~ |
I guess I would say I'm a little more into Shounen animes than Shoujo, I mean I watch Naruto, Yu-Gi-Oh and FullMetal Alchemist (*I guess both Pokemon and Digimon would fall into that catogary too?*) while currnetly my only fav Shoujo anime is Fruits Basket XD
So yes definintly prefer the Shounen Animes ^^ |
I like both. Magical Pokemon Journey (PiPiPi) and Pokemon (Pocket Monsters) are my favorites. But I'm going with shojo.
|
Shoujo Ai
Hehehehe. Futari Wa Precure! |
Disturbing...:) Shojo-ai, Like Cardcaptorsakura...that's a reason it's not a little kid show.
puni puni~ |
Wow...this is lose lose for me...if I pick either one i'll look like a perv wont I ^ ^;;....so i'll lean towards soujo-ai.
|
Hey! I picked Shounen, didn't I? AND AM I A PERV?
*everybody starts whispering* Whaa? puni puni~ |
No becuse you dont understand it....
|
Blah, I have no preference. Though I think most or all my favs are shounen. Hmm.. RK.. yes... InuYasha.. yes... Yu Yu Hakusho.. yes... Yu-Gi-Oh.. yes... Pokemon.. yeah....
Yeah I guess I'm more of a shounen person, but I do like a lot of Shoujo... just not my absolute favs.. |
Most shoujo aime I've seen was realy boring. I tend to like shounen more. I like anime that has lots of blood and violence! :D :dead: :dead: :D
Plus fan scirvice is always good! :D |
Mrr... not all shounen is aimed toward older "perverted" audiences. People are talking as though it is. A lot of it is actually completely harmless. =\
And Cardcaptor Sakura isn't shoujo-ai.... o_O;; It's got hints of both that and shounen-ai, but it doesn't *show* anything. You can play naive and decide that Tomoyo is just a really good friend who happens to like videotaping her while catching cards and doing cool stuff. (No matter what way I tried to put that, it seemed like how Kairi stalks me. XD;;;) Everything could simply be taken as friendship. =\ But you find a lot of that in shoujo anime, from what I've seen. I'd probably watch most stuff as long as it's got a decent plot or characters, like I said, so it wouldn't matter to me if there was shoujo/shounen-ai. (It'd probably be a plus, actually, rofl.) |
Does anyone besides me know what MPJ/PiPiPi is?
Shojo is the best! |
=o Isn't it one of the Pokemon mangas? If it's what I'm thinking of, I think I've read a volume of it. XD; The art is really adorable. =o
|
I know, it's so cute!
Isn't it? |
Indeed it is. ^_^ I love how they draw Pikachus in it. =X It's beyond adorable~~
That's the reason I like most shoujo manga. The art style tends to be so much cuter and more carefree than shounen. ^^;; Like Tokyo Mew Mew~ =o |
Both...I guess, but I read alot more Shoujo Its alot cuter! and for some reason, i like the plot a little more...hm..i mean, I read Shounen too. but more Shoujo! especially Tokyo Mew Mew! and Zodiac P.i.
: D |
Shojo!
CUTECUTECUTECUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
I love both, but I guess I lean more towards shounen.
I never considered shoujo manga and anime always 'kiddie' though. o_O I guess that's just me though... |
I'm actually keen on both Shounen and Shoujo. Most of the time I'll lean towards the Shoujo like Sailor Moon or Card Captor Sakura; because, it has nice magical themes, friendships, and romance. That's really what I look for in anime. Comedy is another huge thing that I'll definitely watch an anime for. I'm not a particular fan of violence, gore, or action-type anime such as Shounen. It doesn't grasp my interest...although, Inuyasha is an exception because it does contain romance and scattered bits of comedy in between all that messy stuff, lol. I'm also becoming more and more of a Shounen-Ai/Yaoi fan...and don't you think for one moment that it's all hentai...! I found this one Shounen-Ai anime, Gravitation, and it is so hysterically funny. Only 13 episodes plus an OAV series...trust me, there's not one bit of nudity they show--thank God, heh. But, that Yuki Eiri...*drool*...I MEAN, uh, if there's any action at all...it's only brief kissing scenes between the two guys. The music is unbelievable and I really enjoy it. WATCH IT NOW! O_O Lol, I'll be more than happy to supply the episodes to any of you if you want to see it; I have the fansubs in AVI format. They're large files, but I'll ZIP 'em. ^_^ That's it on my schpeal!
|
Waah... T_T I keep forgetting to get Gravitation! I've read all the volumes of manga that're out so far, and I really want to see the anime. o.o; It's so adorable! *squee*
In shounen-ai all you'll really find will be kissing. Yaoi refers to the actual... ahem... other stuff. o.o |
there are alot more girls than boys here so that means more of you like shoujo -_-;
Onece agin, I tend to find anime that dosent have either violence or fanservice boring. |
I prefer Shoujo manga over Shonen because I love Cute Styles and non violent plots. Digi Charat and Pita Ten Shall rule the world!! XD;
|
I don't understand what either of them mean, I came here to learn =P

Some Shoujo anime include: Hamtaro Card Captor Sakura Salor Moon Di Gi Charat Shounen anime are directed to males that mostly range from pre-teen to adult. Shounen are mainly about either some type of adventure that involves fighting, be it realistic or fantasy, or shounen can be about fan-servise. Shounen anime can feature themes such as blood, violence, language, drugs and sex. Some Shoujo anime include: InuYasha Rurouni Kenshin Yu Yu Hakusho Excel Saga I prefer shounen. Quote:

Hmmm. I'm not sure which to vote for. **giggle.** I love both! ^__^ And I'd say Shoujo is for anyone who likes cuteness. XD Heck, CardCaptor Sakura is fast becoming a big fave of mine. I adore cuteness, as my banner shows. Yu-Gi-Oh! shall always be my #1 anime. ^^ I also really like Gundam Wing, Rurouni Kenshin, Sailor Moon, and Cowboy Bebop. I guess I'll vote Shounen.
