| That is a good question. I think the contents of Josei manga/anime can be a little too mature for the majority of the anime audience. |
Crow_Black said: Simply put for one reason, its guys wanting to see what guys want fuck anything seen as cutesy or girly or else you're a pussy as one such reason pretty sad really Lol correct. Let me belabor the topic. 1) Josei is mostly made by women, the story centers around the life of female characters, and they discuss mature topics in a way that seinen doesn't...? Seinen fiddles with fantasy, mystery, thriller and action. Whereas Josei concentrates on drama, slice of life and, more often than not, romance. These genres are not preferred by men. (Read this article about Gender and movie preferences) 2) the sloppy art. Although I wholeheartedly adore Josei more than the rest of the demographics, I admit that most Josei art is NOT enticing [at all]. :sad: (In exception of Nana, Chihayafuru, Kimi ni Todoke and some other few) Let's say 7SEEDS, Gokusen, Nodame Cantabile. They are some of the best or classics, yet... eh... the art is nothing compared to, let's say, Shingeki no Kyojin (to be honest SnK art is inconsistent especially in the very beginning, but the author managed to level up his drawing skill) A manga requires an exquisitely God-entry level of art to kindle le weebs. And yes, like what Crow_Black said, the cutesy and girly female chars are the part of the success. Or goth girls ._. yep. Look. If you want lobely saccharine induced lobe stories, you read Shoujo. If you need ecchi, fun and adventurous friendship is magic, you grab Shounen. Mature suspense? it's Seinen for you. Kiddie stuffs, Kodomomuke. Then why the hell does Josei exist?? Idk. For me, I just want to add more drama and tears into my lonely little life. Or perhaps, I'm getting old, and becoming a stereotypical mom who enjoys watching TLC dramas. |
