Do you avoid this genres?
| It literally does not matter to me, at all. Anyone can watch any genre without being judged, based on there gender. Come now, aren't we a bit to old for this? Some girls like to play with action figures, some boys like to play with dolls. Nothing wrong with that. |
  |
| I'm actually very interested in shoujo because it doesn't count me in its target audience. It'll be interesting to see how things look like from the female perspective. I don't see it enough. |

| I'm a girl. As long as a show has an interesting premise I will watch it. I don't care about the demographic. |

| I'm not really "avoiding " shoujo but I could watch half of 007 ghost. And I dropped because there wasn't action and there was too much affection between 2 guys |

amateur said: TheBasedNico said: Shoujo these days > Shounen anyways. While I do agree with that statement overall,name one recent good shoujo besides Monogatari and Yona that is actually good. Ao Haru Ride? Ookami Shoujo ? Soredemo ? Like c'mon... I thought Donten ni Warau was pretty fun. |

| im a guy and i avoid shounens lmfao wtf is this question |

 |
| it doesn't matter just the anime must be good |
 |
| I'm a girl who likes shounen and seinen more than shoujo and josei. :) haha |
 |
| I'll read/watch anything if I enjoy it. I tend to watch more Shoujos, but I don't avoid Shounens. |

| I don't avoid shougo but from what I tried I didn't liked it. |
| I personally don't avoid shoujo. As long as it's good, then I don't mind. Seinen is the best though. |
| Nope I love both shoujo and shounen but i try to avoid seinen once in a blue moon |

I'm not looking to relate to an anime. I'm watching stuff to be exposed to new ideas. I don't want a show to simply cater to me. Princess Tutu is underrated. Glad to see some appreciation for it. |

| I'm female, but shounen series have often ended up being in my favourites. I don't try to avoid shoujo though, and there's been a couple of shoujo shows I've loved (Princess Tutu probably being my eternal favourite). |

|
| I don't avoid them. my favourites here on MAL include at least one from every demographic so I feel like I can really love an anime no matter the demographic. I am a girl and I am less interested in shounen anime generally so I'm usually more keen on watching shoujo, josei and seinen, but in the end demographics don't mean too much to me. |
| I like both |
 |
babymimi said: Josine said: This. I don't even know if I've watched any shoujo but I do like shonen. You need to watch Akatsuki no Yona & Skip Beat Just watch Skip Beat, Yona is not good enough and really slow paces. |
 |
| Nothing wrong with slow pacing. |
 Anime is good, fucking deal with it. |
ExTamplier said: babymimi said: You need to watch Akatsuki no Yona & Skip Beat Just watch Skip Beat, Yona is not good enough and really slow paces. The slow pacing is a good thing in Yona. The only problem about the show is the open ending & the comedy. |

 |
| I have a little patience, so I personally dislike slow paced shows. |
|
| The overall art style of shoujo is pretty gross, though I haven't really read that much to be fair. Though Confidential Confessions was really well done I'd say. Josei is way more appealing. |
 |
| Demographics doesnt matter. |

| As a girl, I enjoy any and all well-made anime. It would be silly to avoid shounen because it "for boys" (meaning there's more action basically) or to avoid shoujo because it's "for girls". |
  |
| I avoid shoujo yeah but not because I'm 100% sure I won't enjoy it because I'm not its target audience. I did enjoy some shoujo anime but their very very minimal like out of 10 shoujos only 1 or 2 are the ones I found enjoyable to watch but if something's interesting enough demographics won't matter to me. |

Josei is way more appealing. Yeah josei is actually the most realistic genre in terms of romance. No teenage drama, fanservice, or fairytale like prince/princess. Just women and men and life. |

| I like all genre except harem, reverse harem, and ecchi. The only harem i liked was genji monogatari senneki anything that depicted japan in edo/whatever period as long as it wasn't in modern times. |
| save all the cute girls from ntr manga |
| No, i watch everything |
Pond said: I've never let a silly thing like the target demographic prevent me from watching an anime that looked interesting. Would you mind watching Boku no Pico with me? |
| Always try to avoid shoujo as a girl. |
 |
| Shounen is for girls too while Shoujo isn't often for guys. Unless you're metrosexual or gay. (No don't reply with social justice bullshit) |

| I've always been reading and watching both although I guess I grew up with shonen more. I don't think those gender labels mean anything nowadays since it's perfectly normal for girls to like shonen and guys to like shojo. |
 |
| I would obviously only watch shounen. |
| I'm a girl and I actually prefer shounen over shoujo since I'm not much for romance being a major plot-point in anime. |
 |
| Nope. What a silly question. |
Bittenfeld said: To tell you my honest feelings, Admiral Müller, as the groom at a wedding ceremony, the Kaiser is simply just a handsome man, I'm afraid to say. But as the supreme fleet admiral who leads entire fleets, he's really a godly person. Don't you think so, too? Müller said: I think he's quite godly as a groom, too. |
Aylinn98 said: I rarely care about that... I just read the description and if it's interesting I'll give it a try. Though if there's a show with a description that sounds okay-ish but still not convincing and has shoujo as tag I clearly won't watch it. I guess I got my dislike of shoujos from my best friend who watches/ reads many of those and my and her tastes are quite opposite. Those shoujos with a girl and a guy liking each other but both being shy to say it are terrible.. or even worse: girl with no personality at all being chased by lots of guys ughhhh -.- Shounen is great for me in general though (I'm a girl) even better if rated 17+ and/or paired with any of action/horror/psychological etc A story about two shy people who are into each other sounds more exciting than WANTING TO BE THE BEST. There's more room for character exploration in the former. |
