I dont think she was totally useless. She was there to help develop the main character so not completely useless Considering that the main character in Wings was emotionless to everyone but the girl....kinda lol.


lol Ya Endless Waltz different. the main girl was naive but overall didn't bother me. Watch Waltz and you'll know who i'm talking about.

Yeah, hes not talking about Relena. Endless Waltz is the Wing movie, and the girl he is talking about is the-best-character-in-Wing's daughter.

So, I was discussing Puella Magi Madoka Magica with a friend the other day. And he something along the lines that "it's weird" for a guy to watch Madoka since it's a shojo anime(I'm a guy btw). And something along the lines that I should be ashamed of watching magical girl anime and shojo anime.
BTW: shojo is anime/manga directed at girls aged 10 to 18
So the question that I ask the TL ADT is:
Is it weird for a guy to watch shojo anime? Should he be ashamed?

Poll: Is it weird for a guy to watch shojo anime? Should he be ashamed?

No (20)
 
80%

Yes (4)

Maybe, but it doesn't matter. (1)

Your vote: Is it weird for a guy to watch shojo anime? Should he be ashamed?

(Vote): Yes
(Vote): No
(Vote): Maybe, but it doesn't matter.

I don't know if Madoka is a shoujo. And even if it is, I'm pretty sure that almost the entire audience for it was male >______>

Anyway, I don't think there is anything wrong with shoujo, though I am kinda feminine :x

First of all, Madoka is NOT shoujo. Teach your friend that death and despair are not usually found in shoujo. That aside, I don't see any problem with a guy watching shoujo. Maybe if a guy watches exclusively shoujo that would be a little weird, but even then I say no shame in your interests. I mean, it's already "weird" to watch anime as much as most people in this thread in the first place so watch whatever interests you.

Madoka a shoujo? It does seem like it but it kinda not as well. I think it probably 60% shoujo and 40% the rest. It pretty damn good any I dont care if people based me for watching shoujo of this quality. I cried during Clannad.....I have no shame in admitting that. If it good it good so watch it. + Show Spoiler +

Madoka is seinen, not shoujo. Mahou Shoujo that are actually shoujo would be stuff like CCS & Sailor Moon (manga more-so than anime).

Madoka is seinen (guys 18-25 (?)), definitely...philosophical stuff + cute girls + dark story...looks textbook to me.
Girl protagonist doesn't automatically make it shoujo.

Those age ranges and gender association just means who it will appeal most to, not only. I view shounen/seinen/shoujo/josei as just another genre that helps me understand what to expect from the show. Shounen will probably be lots of mindless action with a cliched plot of saving the world. Seinen will probably has some deeper philosophical meaning and isn't all about the action.

How is Madoka shoujo? "Magical Girl" shows don't necessarily have to be Shoujo, just look at Nanoha. Madoka was definitely aimed at older, male audiences. If your friend just looks at who the main characters are, and then judges it to be shoujo or not based on their gender, something is wrong.

Finished Welcome to the NHK + Show Spoiler +
Pretty damn good but usually when I finish an anime series, I go and check the last manga of the series and see if the ending are the same and they are COMPLETELY DIFFFERENT! I was like wtf? So i start hoping back a few more chapter....and then a few more...and a few more...then I realize that Misaki in the manga and in the anime are like 2 different person.....ugh this is depressing or am I wrong? The plot even seen differnet as well, maybe it because I havent hopped back far enough.
I may not be the best, but i will be some day...

So aside from Madoka not being shoujo, shoujo is more fun to read than shounen, imo. One of my favourite manga is Full Moon wo Sagashite. I do read a decent amount of both, mind you.

I usually don't watch shoujo stuff but have seen a few like Nana, Kimi ni todoke, Honey and Clover, but also bit newer like Kaichou wa Maid-sama, (even if wasn't that strong shoujo some times). I don't know if some is jousei tho.

The reason I watch is if really like the main girl character, but you can really feel the plot twists isn't really aimed at guys.

A common theme in shoujo is: one girl that interact with two guys, the guys have a issue with each other and the girl don't know what guy she like best.
