I've only seen a few shoujo animes (Natsume Yuujinchou, Escaflowne, Jyu Oh Sei) come to mind. If I didn't know better I wouldn't have even classified these as shoujo's. No cheeky love stories and such on Natsume and Jyu. Even Escaflowne has mechs and war with a love story.. And I have to say that shoujos are often better than shounens, theres bound to be less action but just about everything else is better. | ||

I dont think its a problem personally.. Ive often fallen into Shoujo anime early on without even knowing it was shoujo or josei for that matter.. Madoka it rests to be mentioned is not that.. but yeah Kimi no Todoke, Ouran or even that Ouran knockoff what was ittt.. uhh Special A ? I think they're fine.. I dont criticize people for watching Jersey Shore, doesnt mean I dont think its garbage yeah ? | ||

At least, the anime isn't. I think they made a shoujo manga about it though lol | ||

It didnt really seem like shoujo....is it really? | ||

Unless you mean in the sense that both Ouran and Special A are terribly generic shoujo manga that follow pretty much every single shoujo stereotype. Also, Jyu Oh Sei is definitely Shoujo, hence all the BL in it. | ||

Wouldn't have called it a shoujo myself but doesn't matter either way. Also, Jyu Oh Sei is definitely Shoujo, hence all the BL in it. Was the BL obvious? it's been a few years since I saw it so I hope not. I only recall it as action/adventureish. >.> I mean even series like Berserk have their moments with suggestive BL but I still wouldn't go calling them shoujo! | ||

I mean there was a girl he was definitely after and there was also that one girl who was after him as well. I cant really remember and BL in it and if there was it was no where near as obvious as NO. 6 | ||

BL doesnt neccessarily equal Shoujo never will | ||
