I admit, I actually find Sailor Moon to be "girlier" than Tokyo Mew Mew and that's not a bad thing

I think the style of sailor moon was more closer to the classic style of shoujo than mew mew where it was more modern maybe thats why i also thought the series was more girl focused since i think the classic style of shoujo is more girl focused with long hair big eyes and eyelashws and dressesand fashion.

Though i feel mew mew had also some of that but my feeling usually relates more with the classic style

I think part of the reason to me that Cardcaptor Sakura seemed less girly to me then the other 2 was actually more the plot and style instead of the art. Although now that you mention it ooReiko you're right CLAMP's artstyle is pretty but different then the other 2.

Sakura's use of clow cards, her being a bit more sporty active compared to the other 2 series main girls and the fact that instead of a team she mainly had her rival/partner which was a boy probably further made it less girl focused.

Hmm maybe I read wrong your other post since I thought you said cardcaptor was more girly though I think I was more talking about the style of the series and now when I think about it the style of clamp respects the classic style but they still make it different so even if the style was girls focused maybe the story like you said maybe was less focused

@ooReiko
No problem....I realized there's other magical girl series where they only have a boy partner/rival, and no team, just the mentor/mascot but still overall I felt Sakura was alot less girly compared to Sailor Moon and Tokyo Mew Mew. Maybe the fact that its CLAMP has something to do with it since their other series also give off a similar impression to me. Must be their style of plots.

I also remember Sakura being more popular with boys where I lived as a kid compared to Tokyo Mew Mew.....I'm not trying to say that there aren't male fans of Sailor Moon or Mew Mew though, because there definitely was male fans (my cousin being one of them).

I think youre right about clamp since I think their series often have different impression than shoujo series even if their style respected the classic style. Also about cardcaptor I heard in the english dub they who made the dub aimed it for boys so maybe thats also why it gained the popularity as the series which wasnt as girly even though the style respects the classic style
