the first shojo anime i watched was sailor moon, and that series made me hate shojo. then after i read fruits basket, i started to pick up on the shojo genre again.
what series of anime (if at all) ruined shojo for you?
That horrible Cardcaptors dub of Cardcaptor Sakura killed the genre for me. Didn't watch any more of it until A Little Snow Fairy Sugar.
Shoujo meaning like, tons of girls in the anime?
Loved Sailormoon. Sorry, temari. It's a classic that established a multitude of staples in superhero anime that will still exist 20 years from now. Tuxedo Mask is still the mightiest of all heroes.
I enjoyed Fruits Basket as well, despite the...unfortunate name of the series.
I don't like shojo very much. I read a few titles that are actually meant for girls, though: "Galaxy Angel", "Life", and "Absolute Boyfriend". Most of the stuff I read is meant for guys or both genders.
Stuff like "Kamikaze Girls" (manga translation) and "Fruits Basket" make me steer clear of shojo stuff.
no. shojo is a genre of anime that means romance, and the number of female characters assorted into the anme is up to the writer.
Dude, you don't need to recommend Love Hina to me, check the avatar. :cookie:
Anything by Ken Akamatsu is great. And Futakoi!
"Shojo" isn't romance, it's manga targeted for girls. It doesn't have to have romance in it. "Life" doesn't have any love in it and it's still shojo.
Nothing's destroyed it for me. I loved A Little Snow Fairy Sugar, Fruits Basket, Kaliedo Star (fav), and Azumanga Daioh. It's actually my favorite genre of anime. As long as it has lessons to learn and solid characters filled with exaggerated emotions, I'll probably enjoy it.
Even Mao-Chan was fun. ^_^
Ahh, Azumanga Daioh. That's show's hilarious. XD
Isn't it? Chiyo Mihama was so cute and gullible. So much fun, so many adventures.
Osaka and Yomi were my favorites. Osaka because she was so slow and easily amused, and Yomi because she was exasperatingly sane in a class full of nutbars, plus she looked like Naru from Love Hina.
Osaka was my 2nd favorite for reasons you mentioned. I usually don't enjoy easily amused characters, but I thought she pulled it off nicely.
I loved it in the field day episode, where all Osaka wanted to do was slam her face into a bowl of flour. Or something like that. XD
Aha! I just thought of a shojo anime that I hated! Pretear. Now there was an anime that took the whole metrosexual male character thing to a level that should have been buried and had a mini-mall built over it.
I started reading this manga NANA and I love shojo
Sailor Moon was nice when I was like..8. Now it sucks. The only shojo I like is Fruits Basket.
Buuut, typical Shojo:
*Young girl walks into her high school..She sees the love of her life* "omgz i lyke..ttly luv him..but i dont no how 2 say it"
*Boy looks at her..She does the typical anime blush and runs away*
*Another boy is in the distance..He has a very secret crush on the girl who has a crush on the main character*
*About..Three chapters later*
"omgz. he haz a crush on me?!?!? but thats..i cant..i luv him..WHO SHALL I CHOSE??!?!?1/1//"
Then some sucky ending comes up.
Most shojo is romance, but not all romance is shojo. Some of it is yaoi. :)
i will remember that. thank you for sorting that out.
Sailor moon made me very embarrassed to watch shoujo when I noticed all of the fan service. Then Inuyasha came along and I rethought my interests in the genre. There have been way more since then (especially Chobits) that have entertained me.
i have wanted to read chobits, you obviously think that it is entertaining,
but what is it about??
Sailor Moon was actually pretty good. It was those filler episodes that killed it for me. :mad:
Chobits is a panty shot disguised as a manga. It was cute until a panty shot came from nowhere. Then it got tiring.
I didn't see all of it but basically it's about a guy(Hideki) who finds a futuristic type of computer called a Chobit. This one is named Chi and through out the show she learns new things. I think she was starting to fall for Hideki before I stopped watching it. I only got to see it because a friend had it. Also I didn't notice any panty shots in the anime version. Although I'm not saying there weren't any in the show. This show's genre would be romantic/comedy, I think.
Yuppers. There were a lot of sexual stuff in the Chobits anime, never watched the manga, I also stopped watching it because I was bored of downloading the whole thing.
Warriors of Tao was the same panty shot crap. It had a cool story, but holy crap-- that sexual stuff came out of nowhere.
For info on Chobits, click [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chobits]here[/url].
Chobits is soooooooo ridiculously overrated.
Personally I think it's a piece of crap, especially considering CLAMP did Shirahime-Syo. *******s.
I totally love how they abandoned Legal Drug. Even if it was yaoi. :cookie:
All Yaoi deserves to be destroyed! What the hell is CLAMP, anyway?
...peach girl sux and so does salior moon...that is it and that is all
i likes sailor moon ! only watched it when i was a kid though.. havent seen it on tv anymore... my favorite was yuyuhakusho i loved his ! spirit gun !
shotgun ! and i forgot what this one show was called it was about a swordsman who only used a double sword or something like that so he wouldnt kill anyone....
_ i thought this post was what anime made you love/hate anime... i didnt read what it said.. ; )
chibi vampire. now that is worth reading.
what is that about? i have heard of it but never really got into it because of all the vampire crap floating around in my local manga dealer. i saw the cover and thought 'o great another ****ing vampire manga that probably is't worth the paper it is made out of.' but please tell me what it is about.
Well, its about this girl who is a vampire, but a reverse vampire. she actually produces more blood than her body can handle and thusly must find a victim to unload it into before she bassically has a ashton-kutcher-butterfly-effect sized nose bleed and passes out. this kid starts going to her school and being around him makes her blood increase, hilarity ensues. ..........look it up on wikipedia
thank you...still sounds like crap.
it kinda is, but it sucks with the epicness of snakes on a plane, you just cant help but love it.
hm....your undying love for this manga has inspired me to read it...
you misspelled Inspired and undying.
but yeah, go ahead and read it, its worth a laugh or two.
yea yea...it is summer break, my brains are mushier than usual
