It's a tie between shounen and seinen for me. I enjoy shounen more for action and the hot studs. I like shows that have the guy's point of view. It's more entertaining and unpredictable to watch.

As for seinen, I like deep meaningful plots as well as themes.

Which demographic I enjoy most eh? Hmm...


...........



Seinen it is~!! :D

First of all, I need to make it clear that not all Seinen has a deep and complex plot because I think most people often misinterpret Seinen as psychological series with deeper and complicated plot line while Shounen as action series with simplistic plot line. That's not true at all. Whoever that said that probably, uhm, not read much Shounen and Seinen to noticed the difference. >: D There are still a simplistic Seinen series that easier to comprehend out there that even a little kid can enjoy.

Why do I enjoy Seinen more?

I'm not sure why. I've been reading Seinen demographic for as long as I can remember and I think most people that are fairly new to this demographic will always choose / states psychological as their favorite genre. Unlike them, my favorite genre in Seinen demographic are always comedy. O_O

I guess I like the dark comedy / inside joke as well as several parodies, underlying theme, cultural references, subliminal messages etc etc used in Seinen demographic. It's hilarious and there's still a psychological aspect that can be related in the story, depending on which series we're talking about.

Or maybe because Seinen genre is more 'calmer' and 'wiser'... if that makes sense to you? I mean, Seinen demographic never try so hard to achieved something.

- Shounen and Shoujo tend to exaggerates every simple things.
- Josei tend to be melodramatic about something.
- Kodomo is... too childish? ""^^ Depends on which series, but most series, will bore you to death. XD
- Seijin..... is made for JH, not going to talk about it. XDD

Anyway, I think what I'm trying to say is, for some reason, no matter what genre it is, Seinen demographic always manage to find a way to balance its content. Like people say, no one really know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody. I guess other demographic are trying so hard on pleasing their targeted audience?

---------------------

Honestly, I'm not sure of my own answer. XDD I'm probably biased on choosing Seinen right now because I was reading Seinen couple minutes ago. ""^^

Oh wait, I guess that's probably tell my real answer. O_o
I enjoy all demographic depending on which story that keeps me interested. ^__^

I don't limit myself to a specific demographic because I don't think anyone should limit themselves when enjoying something. If you limit your choices only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all that is left, is a compromise. ""O_O

>.>""

Oh by the way... ewwwieee to

...Why? O.O

Josei isn't always melodramatic to me, like often things mess up around people, I like reading about how they get out of those kinds of situations and then relate to characters with the general complexity of life. The realistic side I suppose instead of melodramatic. I like situations I can relate to, and I like sad anime and manga more than happy, josei tends to be from my experience more melancholic.

It depends on which series we are talking about though because there are still action wise Josei but then again, it will still have that mellow part. Categorized a Josei are really difficult anyway. Most of the times, the series will end up falls into Seinen demographic instead of Josei in case you haven't noticed that.

My problem with Josei is, the demographic are almost always appeal only to girls audience instead of guys audience. Not all guys likes to be drove / forced into their own deep feeling, over thinking about the hardship of life. When it's necessarily true for the girls to thinks deeply about their current life style, the hardship of life, the struggles for the future, guys are almost never act like that. Josei tend to pleased their targeted audience (young women and teenage girls) with their "deep feeling" approach because girls (not to sound stereotyping) like to be in that position. It's in their hormone. They will always thinking "Oh what the hell am I suppose to do now *long sigh* If I do that, I will have this, if I don't do this, I will have that" while guys, even if we also have the same thought and thinking about the same thing, we don't over thinking / overdoing it and always take risk on every decision we make. I think girls also do the same thing (taking a risk) and prefer to used and see the outcome of that particular approach instead of falls into the endless pits of deep thinking approach. If Shoujo annoy people because of the drama, Josei can sometimes be annoying with the melodramatic approach.

Which is why, while you (Krystal) enjoy almost every Josei series / show out there, others don't or only enjoy several Josei series / show. Being melodramatic are always a dragged, and slow pacing to those that looking for a series they can enjoy, without relating their personal life with the situation in the show. Unless the person are looking for something specific that Josei has, they will most likely end up (subconsciously) picking up and enjoying other demographics. Seinen also share the same element from Josei if you noticed, but they are not overdoing the similar element that Josei has.

That's why as I said before, Seinen never tries so hard on their approach. Seinen are more enjoyable to watch / read from time to time (you can pick it up almost anytime), the content can be related to both gender and to every age group. They can be very deep and complex, but they can also be simple and pleasing. Seinen demographic has that balance factor.

We are talking about enjoyment right? Other demographic, are most likely, only appeal, and focusing to pleased their specific targeted audience. When people are looking for something they can enjoy, that doesn't necessarily mean they are looking for something they can relate with. I think I'm taking this generally whereas yours is more personal preferences. My personal preferences are on my previous post anyway. XD

Not saying I don't enjoy Josei though. I still enjoy Josei depending on my mood, but that's the problem with Josei though. Enjoying Josei are always depending on the occasion and your mood which makes it harder for everyone to enjoy. If I have to choose between Seinen and Josei regarding which one I will enjoy more, I will choose Seinen. I don't think it's a biased factor because the targeted gender of Seinen is male. I think most girls will also prefer to choose Seinen over Josei, just like when they prefer Shounen over Shoujo when they are picking up something they can enjoy, not something they can relate. ;D

To put in a simpler way, Josei tend to be a hit or miss demographic to people. One might enjoy it, but the rest might not. You might enjoy most Josei, BlackWings only enjoy several Josei while Shockwave... will always never picking up Josei.

Revamps thread.

Let's discuss about.

What do you hope will happen after you die?

Yah, I think I worded it right. I'm not asking what will happen / the after life theory or anything. Something like,

- Hoping to be reincarnates into another human, or another live form
- Hoping you will wandering around like a ghost, seeing your friends, families, beloved one from the after life.
- Becomes an angel or a devil.

Etc etc.

But we are essentially energy, if it's any consolation to people, we will become to energy to feed the worms, for nutrients for the grass and flowers and so on.

I don't believe in the "after-life", death is death as far as I'm concerned. Although I accept the concept of not thinking is an impossible concept the number of holes in arguments for life after death are too vague and unsupported. Any theory could be created and have just as much evidence as any other, they cannot be proven empirically, and I myself am an empiricist so the concept is impossible.

Morose much adDam?

I have to agree with Krystal here.

1) God (if he actually exists) I hope not. I don't want to live it all over again. I survived it once and was pretty lucky. To go through it all over again would seem rather cruel.

2) A ghost to wander the earth sounds pathetic

3) An angel or demon. As said in the bible, are not people that were formerly men and/or women who were once of this mortal plane. (if you believe that sortof thing)

Do you mean who will live in the kingdom of Heaven or be condemned to reside in the kingdom of hell?

If so, I hope this is also not true. Everybody wants to go to the Kingdom of Heaven but Hell must get some souls. I find it hard to believe that an Everloving and forgiving God would create such a place.

For example, a Mother or rather a parents don't want there kids in Jail. And they'll fight tooth and nail to prevent that. But God says, You are my children. Yet watch out. If you do x, y and z. I will send you to hell. To burn in agony forever and ever.

Never made any sense to me.
And the Jewish religion doesn't even have the concept of hell. Neither does Islam. (I think but I haven't really spoken to many Muslims)

Christianity sprung from the Jewish religion. Jesus was a jew. So why do we believe in the concept of hell? Put simply, Christianity is a juxtapose of other religions that did have a hell. We borrowed just a few concepts from other religions. Christmas for example, should be celebrated in sometime in Spring. The reason it's December 21 is because numerous other religions celebrate the Winter Solstice around that time. Has Nothing to do with Jesus being born on that day.
It was simply a "convenient" coincidence to get other people to convert to Christianity.

I do all this to say, If Hell is false. Why is Heaven real?

As Krystal said, there just isn't enough evidence to verify any of it.
(Guess that's why you have to faith)

Here's what I hope happens. I hope, I am cremated or am occupying the same orbit as Gene Roddenberry either one is cool with me.

I know for a fact, once we dead, we dead. We'll never know what's gonna happen for sure. I'm just wondering what were you hoping to get, to view, after you died. It's not supposed to be a serious thoughts. Just play around a little, what you'd expect to happen. Be imaginative.

My example is just an example JH. You don't need to comment each of my example because that's just the simplistic random thought I had in mind. I repeat, that was just an EXAMPLE. It doesn't touch any religious or belief whatsoever because honestly, I was thinking about the storyline that being used in manganime when I typed that. :D

For some reason the respond for the question kind of tell us how you view your life, and what you'd expect will happen once you dead. Hmmm...

Like I said, stop be an adult for a little while, instead of pinpointing the evidence, factual, logically and scientific explanation, try think of it in a child mind.

I only play one on the internet. Give me some motivation for this. By which I mean
given an example, please. :)

I think I know what you mean but, I'm not too sure.

And my response isn't how I view MY life in particular. I think, everybody life is hard at some point in time and especially if you were born in a poor third world country.
The longer, I live the thicker "Life's a bitch" file gets. Not just for me but for others. If you're life's been particular smooth. I envy you.

If I gave an example, it's pretty much makes this goes more off topics. It depends on how you guys work on your mind. Even my example up there (the one I got from Yuyu Hakusho, Cat Soup and probably Doraemon) already mislead and makes you guys go off topics.

It was hoping what will happen, not what do you think will happen. It doesn't have to be rational at all. Playing with your own creativity and imagination is fun sometimes. It expand more thoughts (be it nonsense or logical).

If I was the one that being asked with the question, I will said something like (note, this is just an example)

"I hope I will get to see my funeral, and see if my friends, families, and even enemies cry over my death. Wonder if I will wandering around for seven days and seven nights, watching they lived their life, and how I never saw their other side."

or

"Maybe I will be transferred into another dimension. I wonder if my memory still exist at the time."

Also, I was pointing at BlackWings over there. Maybe she was half asleep while she typed that, but it kind of tell how she is afraid of the death and the sorrow. There's a reason why people afraid of death ya know. Especially their own death.

Everyone's life is harsh, even the most smoothest life will have some twist at some point. That's why I ask what do you hope will happen in the after life. Hoping it will be the same thing repeated again? Hoping you will be given a second chance? Just try to explored your own childish thought while incorporating with your own experience thorough the life you have so far.

Like I said, play around, this is a discussion anyway. It's fun to see what others had in their mind. Have you ever listened to and liked the way children thinks? It's shocking, random, unexpected, and at some point, makes you realized how you used to be like them and how fun it was to live the life as a kid.

I don't know, maybe you guys are used to listen to every matured, thoughtful conversation and hang out with philosophical, wiser people, read intellectual and informative books written by famous author. I hang out with everyone. Including the crazy, mentally disturbed, homeless people out there. It's kind of interesting to break from your norm realm for a while.

you and your craziness! lol

Okay, NOW I see what your getting at.

Well one, I wouldn't want to see my own funeral. I don't even like going to other peoples. Why should I give a damn about my own. The one good thing about being dead is that I won't be there to attend. :|

If I had my way, I would visit people that I admire.

Physicists Richard P. Feynman
Enrico Fermi
Nicholai Tesla
Leonardo Di Vinci
Benjamin Franklin
Thomas Jefferson
Gene Roddenberry
The Revrnae Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr
Dr. Robert McNair
Jack Kirby
Bob Kane
Shulester and Siegel
Thomas Edison
and of course Albert Einstein
and I can't forget Harriot Tubman and Franklin Roosevelt Can't forget them

Charles Schultz, is someone I would love to talk to


If I die, I would want to meet and talk with those people. Badly.

(but not before, I go a cathouse (brothel) and do a little .... spying lol)

and maybe, eventually I'll get to my father (0_0)
(But he's going to have to get in line. HEY! I have all of eternity to speak to him. not like we're going anywhere)

Why wouldn't you (in a ghostly spirit) attend your own funeral eh? Is there something you don't want to see or choose not wanting to see?

Wandering around (in a ghostly spirit) and meet all the people we always wanted to meet is kind of cool though. What are you going to do if you meet all of them? I mean, you are already dead, obviously those people will not know you were there. Observing them? That's boring. >.>

Do you think you will bump into another (dead) people that was also thinking to meet the same person as you? Will you talk to them? Wait, can you talk to them?

Is there a limited time to meet all those people?

I don't like funerals. I just don't see the point in Viewing my funeral would be exciting. Unless of course, I'm going to be buried in orbit and then I know my friends and family won't be there. Nasa has rules against that sortof thing. You have to be in peak physical condition to go into space.

Other then that happening, I expect my funeral to be boring and rather ordinary, just like anybody elses funeral. It is not worth me being there. Heck, if it wasn't socially rude, I would never attend anybody's funeral.

Actually all those people I mentioned are dead too. So I hope they would know I'm observing them so I can talk to them.

Heck, if I wanted to meet them why wouldn't others? I don't see no reason if I can talk to other dead people I wouldn't be able to talk to them as well. In fact, I would love to.
I guess I would start out with the pervy ones first.
Ben Franklin had some rather .... interesting sayings
and Richard Feynman, aside from being a brilliant scientist was a ... how should I put this ... abit of a whore.

He also came up with a particular nice quote that every good scientist should know

It's simple, naughty and brilliant. :)
Just like Dr. Feynman

Well, I'm dead so I guess the only limit would be you and the person you wanted to speak to.
I would be disappointed on the time limit if there was one.

And even if they were alive just observing them wouldn't be boring. Would it? You wanted to meet these people. You hang around them and get a sense of who they are. What makes them tick.

You ever hear of a book called Blink?

Spying on people's rooms at unexpected times can give you a feel for who that person is.
Dropping by unannounced and seeing how that person interacts with everybody in their public and private moments without them being aware and you will really know the person.
I dont think that would be boring at all.
Better then attending a dumb old funeral.

Especially when you're not the only one that observed the particular person. Who knows, while you were hanging out at their windows, observing them, you noticed Shockwave is hiding inside the closet, doing the exact same thing you were doing.

I hate to spoil the fun, but I really genuinely don't hope for anything after I die. I don't picture anything I'd particularly want.

Immortality of the soul seems to be just painfully lonely.

Being around other dead people for the rest of eternity seems boring just like immortality.

Seeing my own funeral would be something I'd definately not want to watch.

I guess I'm just not particularly creative about this matter because I wouldn't want life after death even after discarding whether I believe it or not.

Seems depressing. I would hate that.
It was funny but back before I left school I was having this conversation with a couple of people, about if you would see your own funeral after you died if you could. I said no, this one girl said yes, most other people said no or sat on the fence about it.

well I feel the same way you do about it, but adDam seems to want to attend his own so I'm curious as I usually am about why. Is there something I'm missing. And he said if there would be something I would be scared to see or scared I wouldn't see. I just don't want to attend any funeral. Including my own.

But hey, I want to know why and I wouldn't be me without being curious.

Also, how far are you into your PM's, Krystal?

Exploring outer space doesn't necessarily mean other worlds or life forms though. It could be years and years of nothingness once you get further than our solar system.

Space is mostly empty.

and there's different galaxies, nebulas, suns. Gas Giants, drawf planets, comets. Asteroids.
Our galaxy is 100,000 light years wide and the nearest solar system is 4.3 light years away.
The nearest neighbor galaxy is 200,000 light years away and moving away from us thanks to the expansion of the universe at the Hubble speed 'Hv'

But even still the chance to visit each and every solar system if given the opportunity is too great to pass up. Assuming you had a ship that could travel fast enough to make the journey.

I would prefer the deep dark blue, thankyouverymuch. It's just freaky to go into outer space. I might get sucked into a black hole if I'm not careful. black holes are rumored to have suck in everything, including light. That's scary for me and no one's ever reported to get sucked in rather than going there.

The sea is huge, and it covers most of the world. It sounds fun, but I find it scary. What lurks under the water? Monsters or those urban legends? Anything could be possible.

Exactly, well maybe not so much about the Black Hole part.

I don't think people appreciate how beautiful our own world is, I've been deep sea diving already though. Underwater everything is so beautiful.
Being in space the likeliness of ever coming across anything is so slim, it's not like you want to go driving into asteroids and it could be an entire lifetime driving forwards and not seeing anything. Maybe you do see something, JH have you ever watched 'Voices of a Distant Star'? I'm not referring to the romance part, but the part about the fact that she is travelling miles and miles into space and seeing beautiful worlds but a total lack of life, lonely much? Who said you'd end up with a crew like a Star Trek ;)

What would happen if there were such a thing as the "end of the world"? What would you do? What could you do? What would you do for the last final moments of your life if it actually happens?
