Aoharu x Machine Gun
| Am I the only one who thinks this? |
 |
| It is serialized in a shounen magazine. And the main focus of the story is fighting in the survival games with BB-guns, not the romance. Seems like a shounen to me. |

It's already been shown even on animes that a magazine isn't bound to its main public, even more because if they want to sell more they will try to expand it. I don't see why girls wouldn't like to see "hot guys" playing survival games and it's pretty obvious this is a reverse harem. |

| After episode one I was pretty much convinced that this was a shoujo/comedy. The art style and the plot so far seems that way...but the first episode also went out of the way to introduce the BB guns so...maybe? Plus the OP was shounen-y. We'll just have to wait and see how it actually turns out. |

| It's a shonen because the manga is published in a shonen magazine, simple as that |
 |
| the publisher's been' trapped! lol |
 But you'll still take damage! |
| Hybrid. |
| Friendship and fighting with lot of laugh and maybe a little bit of love later ... seems like a typical shounen anime to me. |
| Pretty shounen to me. The character designs are what made it appealing to girls.

Yeah, Hunter x Hunter is also a shoujo because a lot of girls like watching it and shipping the main pairing. MrNTR said: The reason girls like it is probably cuz it has pretty boys and rivalry always leads to yaoi in their eyes. I'd like to add that males ship hate/love yuri couples as well and it's not exclusive to fujos. |
phoenixalia said: It's not your typical shounen, yeah. But it's still published in a shounen magazine, so it's shounen. It's like Nozaki-kun, Durarara!! InuxBoku SS and the like. They're shounen but they appeal to girls as well. QFT ilok said: There's a lot of shoujo anime disguised as shounen shounen that appealing for girls nowadays. FTFY |
| The amount of bullshit and generalization this thread has is amazing, sasuga MAL. |
| >User since 2008 Please god help me quit this website. Such great community that doesn't even know how demographics work, AND gives """detailed"""" reviews after first episodes. |

| Kuroshitsuji is also tagged as shounen. Well, we all know who it panders to. |
 |
| It definetly doesen't feel like a shounen to me. Still enjoyable tho. |
| Its 'SHOUJO' to me just their magazine make it shounen. |
 |
| Is the "girl" more femine in the manga or not coz.... No matter how hard I tried.... she's a dude..... it's very hard to swallow. |

So I guess by your definition Magi isn't shounen either since it has a large female otaku fanbase. Or Yowamushi Pedal, Barakamon and the like. Just because something appeals to girls doesn't make something shounen, huh? Riiiiight. What about Sabagebu which is shoujo but is mainly popular with male otaku? Bottom line, demographics don't mean everything all the time. THIS! |
 |
| I think it is, I've not watched the anime yet but the manga makes it pretty clearly. |
| it's blatant fujoshi bait |

HaXXspetten said: it's blatant fujoshi bait isn't everything? Sceles said: The show's full of bishounen and BL jokes and besides <10 seconds of dialog there's really nothing that differentiates Tachibana from a boy. If someone calls this shounen he/she doesn't have any idea what shounen even means. it's shounen because it's from a shounen magazine |

As I've already said, a magazine isn't bound by it's main public and if they want to sell more they will try to expand it's field. |

| If you're saying this because of the female protagonist then you should watch The Promised Neverland or Inu x Boku ss |
