My point is that it's literally a sub-genre of isekai and at the moment Hamefura is the only work that can really compete with the "regular" isekai, mainly because the concept of a bisexual harem broadens the audience of the work quite well. |

Just because they've gotten more adaptations, primarily due to the success of Hamefura (which parodying it), doesn't mean it wasn't great before then. You are making the same mistake as people who think that isekai wasn't a big thing before SAO since they weren't familiar with the LN market. But then again, why should a female LN compete with a male one at all if they have different audiences? These LNs have different audiences and their market does not affect each other. |

| I read the manga which was pretty good although rushed, but I can't help but feel worried for this adaptation. The mangas art was beautiful, but the anime teasers doesn't look as visually stunning right now. I hope they do this adaptation justice. |

It's dwindled for the simple reason that it's very hard for you to sell women-only content that isn't a cash cow like idol franchises. Therefore, for many years, most adaptations have been in the live action format. For now, the green light is being given to everyone indiscriminately (in a good way), so shoujo work is getting relative attention again. But if we are not talking about a purely female market, but about any shows that, among other things, appealed to a female audience as well, then there have always been a lot of them. For example, the more family-friendly segment of all-female franchises. |

For example, the more family-friendly segment of all-female franchises. its a shame because when it comes to sales, shoujos do just as well but due to anime being more taken up by dudes im guessing studios dont think its worth it. and since a lot of shoujo is romance plus the manga format is different i can see why it might be harder to create shoujo/josei animes. and with the "family-friendly segment" are you talking about magical girl shows like precure??? because that i agree with completely. i swear there's one like every season, they're legit the one piece of shoujo. but since that's targeted towards young girls it's defo not as big in the west. like i remember being young and watching sailor moon and precure but now i dont think thats the case. It's just that the women's market is still perceived as local, so if you can't sell it to guys or it's not a hit enough, it won't work. For example, the producer Bandori directly said that you can easily sell content for guys to girls, but not vice versa. Precure is initially aimed at girls first. I mean franchises like Bang Dream or Love Live that are innocent enough in terms of fan service that you can sell it to girls. Although Love Live is already under fire from feminists in Japan, it still makes good money for those who just like cute girls. |

Although Love Live is already under fire from feminists in Japan, it still makes good money for those who just like cute girls. i do agree. it's way easier to get girls to watch and enjoy animes directed to guys than it is the other way around. but what happened with love live??? i thought love love fans were majority males anyway. This is why most shoujo are adapted as movies or dramas, since their target audience is already female and you instantly hit the people you need. In part, things like Fruits Basket were iconic enough in their own right and had already had a successful (financially) adaptation, so it got a full adaptation. And the new anime was so successful that now you won't remember that the director of the first version got into a sex scandal or that the author had a holy war with the executive committee. Initially yes. But when the writers noticed that it sold well among girls, they decided to significantly reduce the amount of fanservice and other otaku-pandering in order to retain a new audience. But like I said, it doesn't always work well. For example, a couple of weeks ago, Japanese feminists were extremely unhappy that one of the advertising posters dressed the girls in too short and tight underpants and skirts. Japanese feminists have long been very salty with the anime and manga industry, which has ended more than once with event cancellations and social media companies. |
