What Exactly Is Pink? by °dalarty 3 weeks 3 days ago

^nat
Not too much for me to say about this wallpaper that hasn't already been said: Dalarty has provided a descriptive walk through all the way from the concept idea, to its execution and ultimately its fruition. And you can really see how that careful planning paid off. But it just goes to show, good ideas take time---and a whole lot of patience!

Does anyone see anything wrong about a girl liking Shonen or a guy liking Shoujo?
I know i'm not the only one out there!! I like Shonen too! GundamSeed&GSD, Last Exile, Stellvia are all great! So what about you guys? what do you think?
If so, what Shoujo/Shonen series do you like, and why?

I'm a guy and i like Shoujo and Shonen. I havent seen very many Shoujo anime but I like Kannaduki no Miko, Cardcaptor Sakura, and 2x2 = Shinobuden. I really like Shoujo because its something you don't see everywhere.

I like both... I don't think anime should expect certain gender viewers.

I agree.. I'm a girl, and I like both. I don't see any reason that girls should only like shoujo, and guys should only like shonen. I never expected that I'd like shoujo, but it's fun to watch/read. Basically, I don't care if it's shonen or shoujo, just as long as it's good =P

I think anime/manga should be above gender views. I know they have their genre classifications, but that doesn't matter at all when it comes down to reading/watching it. I do watch/read some shoujou, but it's not like I seee them as "girls only" titles. If you like it you like it, simple as that.

There's nothing wrong with it. However, for anyone who wants to be knowledgeable about anime, understanding genre distinctions (and they're very simple!) is pretty important. Just because shoujo's primary target audience is female doesn't mean it's weird if males like it. The opposite is true, and in fact it's often expected... take Gundam Wing, for example. Being a Gundam series, it's shounen. But it also has a very strong and vocal secondary audience of females, and at times the show even pandered to that (with the bishounen-esque character designs and the BL-suggestive official art).

Now that I recall all of the anime I've watched, most of them are shoujo. So yeah, it doesn't really matter... haha.

I'm a girl, but I'm fine with either. I do find myself leaning towards shounen, though. All of my favorite manga are shounen and a few of my favorite anime are too.

Watch what you like, shoujo, shounen, whatever. doesn't matter ;)

there are so many good anime out there, who cares about things like "oh, i can't watch it...it's shoujo"
i really like that bloody, action stuff a lot, but if theres a good kawai anime such as ccs, i'm the first one to watch it, hehe
