Last month I got into Natsume Yuujinchou and found out that it was really relaxing and soothing.

The title makes no sense when I've been watching seinen when I started watching anime.

Natsume Yuujinchou isn't a seinen. Also you should change the title and the question. It's really hard to figure out what you're trying to say.

But OP... Natsume isn't a seinen. It's a shoujo.

No seinen doesn't have some mystical healing powers. Also this natsume book whatever isn't even a seinen.
This thread makes no sense.

Sometimes when I feel like absolute garbage I watch shows that I think are seinen but are actually shoujo and then make a pointless thread about it. Everyone deserves to know that I started watching a show and that I don't know how to read genre tags.

That's my personal favorite thing to do.

to forge a path into the marrow of the spirit.
They chose to drown in a deeper vacancy,
an emptiness that quells the null,
a pool for the forgotten..."

Did you mean Hanada Shounen-shi? I know it’s easy to get them mixed up since they’re both supernatural slice of life. Hanada Shounen-shi is the one that isn’t boring.

Does CGDCT anime marked as "seinen" count? If so, then yes.

Natsume is a Shoujo, but anyways... Well, my fave anime is a Seinen and I guess it makes me happy for now. But when its 4th season comes, it will surely boost my depression.

Seinen >>> Shounen except One Piece.
And I don't consider CSM and Fire Punch being shounen, they're borderline seinen.

You don't have to destroy your life to watch seinen. It's always good. They're more realistic and compelling.

You know, Seinen also includes dark stuff. Oyasumi Punpun is also a Seinen. Next time try reading that when your life feels like absolute garbage.

You're going to be all right. You just stumbled over a stone in the road.
It means nothing. Your goal lies far beyond this. Doesn't it?
I'm sure you'll overcome this.

I think I would watch something more happy go lucky, fun and easy to digest, when feeling like my life is shit.

Seinen is for when I want to focus on something, submerge myself in what I'm doing.

borderline seinen/soft seinen aren't terms.

Also do you really think csm is realistic?

Well, compared to MHA, KnY, Naruto and other shounen with two-goody-shoes protagonists with white shades as white can be; I'd say Denji's relatable and convincing.

If Ishuzoku Reviewers can be called 'borderline-hentai', then CSM is definitely 'borderline-seinen'.

Seinen are definitely relaxing. Natsume isn't even seinen, it's shoujo. I can see how you could confuse them as they are both fluffy in nature but they still do feel different. My life doesn't need to suck to sit down to some CGDCT, though. No matter how my life is going some cute girls can always make things better.

Lol seinen is not a genre. It's a demography so the title of this thread is an absolute garbage. You should change it into genre. Natsume book of friends is a shoujo bts.

Seinen's probably the anime/manga demographic I default to most so sure.

Watching K-On got me through the stress of cramming for finals last semester, but I doubt seinen could reproduce the same effect.

mha and naruto part 1 are more realistic than csm (not because the mc is a nice guy (even though naruto can be not nice sometimes)) also denji is relateable?
