it's soo nice to see all these older anime clips and recommendations. It makes me feel nostalgic and reminds me of how I watched the entirety of Kaichou wa maid sama on youtube in 240p. The video is also so well-researched and thorough!! I can't wait to watch more of you guys' stuff

24:51 That point! I got into anime in America in the late 1990s during the medieval era of anime in the West. I was 7 when Toonami started and in those days you got a more diverse (though still majority-shonen leaning) selection of anime coming into the United States. Because of the lack of streaming you had to go through the TV guide and hunt for anime during the 90s thru mid-2000s. After broadband and streaming came about, the generations since have been pushed nothing but shonen and maybe some seinen. I feel like a dinosaur for actually looking at the synopsis of an anime and checking out some episodes before I decide I like it-and I’m only in my early 30s. For me, you miss so much in anime when you only watch one demographic. And just depending on MAL to find new anime seems like a set-up for failure. Good video, I’m glad you guys actually know anime from before the mid-2000s, it makes me feel seen😄

The Question Shonen vs Shojo Depending on the POV of the Story not the Genre. if the author decides to publish a romance manga in a shojo magazine but if the romance theme is viewed from a male POV then people outside of the Nation mistake it for a romance shonen. Another Magazine you Forgot is *Monthly Shonen GanGan* a Magazine aimed at Boys aged 7 to 12 back in the 1990s but from Early 00s to Today the Age Shiften from 12 to 25 Years Old thanks to Philosophical Works such Fullmetal Alchemist. Soul Eater and Exel Saga

Well! Quite a lot of information poured out here. Going to file this in Reference/ Japan/ manga& anime. Will watch again. (Probably at 75% speed.) Right now, it's time for anime around these parts. Sacrificial Princess, Raeliana & the Duke, Heavenly Delusion. Waiting on next episode of Dead Mount Death Play, Legendary Hero is Dead and Ancient Magus' Bride.

If you want a good shounen manga that focuses on the characters and their emotions, I recommend Cross Game; it's a coming of age narrative and romance with a baseball framework. I've only just started one of the author's older works, Touch, but from what I can tell it seems to cover similar themes of grief and carrying on another person's memory and legacy.

shojo part is not well searched. it is clear that many great examples are brushed off, and many of them are just left out under the word of romance=shoujo idea. So many great shoujo animes exist that are in real world, and not in real world, has romance and has no romance. Sad to see this in this video.

You're right! I'm a huge Shoujo fan don't worry. I'm aware there are many stories not set in the real world like Akatsuki no Yona and Akagami no Shirayuki-hime. Amd for sure sometimes they don't have romance like Natsume's Book of Friends and Utena. It would be nice to dive into some of these in a future video! But generally they are based in the real world with romance. So for someone new to the ideas of Anime/ Manga Demographics thinking in simpler terms might be helpful.

For nana and banana fish I feel like they err towards josei because of the more mature themes Noizaki-kun was published under both shoujo and shounen publications lol Confusing right? XD

@@merrikiwi no, banana fish was published in a shoujo magazine (betsukomi) therefore it's shoujo, the "mature" thing has nothing to do with it and nozaki kun was published in gangan online, a shounen magazine

these terms apply both as genres and demographics and as we said in the video a lot of josei gets put in shoujo magazines for accessibility reasons. Maturity of theme is one of the key defining features of josei/seinen compared to shoujo/shounen Gangan isn't exclusively shounen it is square enix's online platform and was specifically published under Shoujo Romance Girly

Honestly my tastes got pretty diverse mostly through osmosis, I ended up picking up a lot of shoujo-adjacent titles through my webcomic reading and a lot of seinen titles because of adaptations piquing my interest. I think the only reason I haven't gotten into a lot of Josei titles is because of a lack of exposure to them
