If you come in here looking for "anime recommendations" then please refer to this chart before posting: Anime Recommendations (as of may 2014). We also have an IRC channel called #tladt where we all hang out. The channel is on Rizon, not QuakeNet! Feel free to check it out. TLADT discord is Discord.ggFor currently airing anime, please see Anichart.net |

edit: yeh i considered cowboy bebpop kinda shounen aswell, i just googled that it was listed as seinen lol, so i could just put my earlier animes that i did not like as much under shounen. And i liked some, i liked darker then black back then, i kinda like fma, but then i got bored. I just don't think my sis would enyoy them cuz they would be too violent. And i dont think she'd enyoy naruto, fairy tail or somthing either.
You go with movies, short and intense burst, like, Shinkai Makoto stuff usually do well with girls.

So basically, through Ryuko's uniform (and that scene with Mako right before the last fight), Trigger not only found a way to incorporate fanservice, but make it relevant to the plot and themes of the show in a tasteful manner. Masterclass. welp. i'm convinced.

edit: So i normally just mean fairy tail, fma, d gray man, souleater, etc. when i say shounen. That way it just a ez way for me to group together and talk about these kind of anime: lot's of episodes, no blood in action, friendship, lot's of shouting, main char getting beaten down then standing up again, fights dragged out over multiple episodes, gets boring eventually. Content of them all seems pretty similar to me rly. Also i think those are what most people mean when they talk about shounen, correct me if i'm wrong.
Demographic labelling is extremely confusing for anyone growing up in Western culture, especially since our sensibilities and content restrictions are a lot more anal.
In general (with a lot of emphasis on general) the distinctions between Shoujo, Seinen, Shoujo and Josei have absolutely nothing to do with what kind of content is in the series, and a lot more to do with the attitude towards the type of content. For example, you'll notice that Seinen and Josei tend to be a lot more blasé with things like love, action, nudity, violence, sex, etc.
But, again, most anime is Shounen (even if the manga was another demographic), generally because young teenaged males are the larger consumers of anime.

Welcome to anime. Here's your complementary placement on a sex offender list!
Break Blade is pretty good though.

So, Pokemon... that ending gave me a 300% erection.

The Pokemon Origin specials were very good. I only wish they made it 1 cour :/

The first part of the novel was good, then it just went straight to hell. Interesting idea, horrible execution. Sakaki seems to fumble if it's not straight fantasy.
