| It's true, and it explains why there are more male anime fans (and thus more males on this forum). I agree with the responses here, imo 3 things : - japanese male market (most likely) - japanese culture (maybe?) - nature of animation (female characters just look that much better than their male counterparts) Now can someone tell me why does drama aim for girls... |
DrGeroCreation said: lmao Osomatsu-san is almost at 100k so idk bruh@Mayuka I doubt it's as large as the male otaku fanbase. My mistake it seemed like a plain directed insult not a joke to elicit any form of laughter whatsoever. dw bruh i'm only speaking for my fujosquad and girls on MAL. i could care less if there was more fap material as i'm not sexually attracted to people. but one thing you need to get in your mind: all im saying is, if a woman wants sex, SHE CAN JUST GO GET IT *sober* ....... at least over here which would mean she doesn't have to masturbate..... as a human being, if i was "horny", it does not mean i want to have sex with a random stranger or a random person i find off the street. the purpose of masturbation is not because you can't find someone, it's because you don't want to have sex with random people and still want to satisfy the urges or stress. |
I have a feeling that gay men are not the primary target for this merchandise. Japanese girls are perverts too. |
  |
| @Mayuka So only female otaku spent on Osomatsu-san? I thought that show is just a comedy for anyone and not targeted at a specific gender. |

| This is not true at all. If you look at total sales from 2015, you'd notice that UtaPri 3 had the highest overall sales, and in general, the top is very much divided in terms of demographic, you have stuff like Free securing a very high spot. And it's not like shounen isn't popular with females, take a look at Kuroko no basket, Haikyuu etc.. Even still, UtaPri sold three times as much as One Piece, not disregarding the female fanbase of OP either, but that just goes to show how popular it is. |
| A: anime watchers consists of more male than female B: Watch more varied shows i;e don't watch shows that have Ecchi/Harem etc tag on them if you want to avoid such things C: There are some shows that are great that aren't heavenly reliant on Fanservice |
 |
| @Mayuka Osomatsu -san having more female fans buying more dvds doesn't indicate in any way that there are as much or more female otaku than male otaku. What you are saying is also speculation .You don't know for a fact that more female fans of Osomatsu bought more dvds than male fans of the show. |
|
| so we can end this.... lol ALL I WAS SAYING is theres way more fap material for men... cause your average man isn't fucking regularly and we generally need it a lot more under the assumption that if you're with a woman, you aren't fapping |
|
| I'm watching Full Moon wo Sagashite right now and it's made for girls. The main female is attractive and so are the males. K-On!, a seinen anime, has been re-marketed towards the shoujo demographic because of how it appeals to young girls. Cardcaptor Sakura is meant for girls but it had a considerable male audience while it was airing. Harems are meant for guys but a lot of other anime is more versatile. |

Mamster-P said: It takes two to tango. If the average girl has more sex than the average guy then that means there are a few guys who are having sex with a lot of girls. I think most girls are a bit more selective about who they have sex with than to all bang the same guy. I think girls just fap to manga more than anime. There are around 3x as many shounen anime as shoujo anime while there are around 2x as many shoujo manga as shounen manga.so we can end this.... lol ALL I WAS SAYING is theres way more fap material for men... cause your average man isn't fucking regularly and we generally need it a lot more I think this may also answer the question in the OP. Anime aim for guys while manga aim for girls. To figure out why you will need some sales statistics. |
|
| God damn, I regret reading through the conversations in this thread. Already getting a headache from it all. Anyways OP, it's probably because a big part of the anime fanbase are young teenage guys, so anime studios mainly produce shows targeted towards this demographic. Hence many shows that feature female characters with ridiculously unrealistic proportions and risque emphasis on their body parts. I guess the market for girl oriented anime is not big enough to warrant as many shoujo or josei adaptations compared to shounen or seinen. It makes me sad, knowing that some of my favourite manga will never get an anime because of its demographics :( |
| So you're looking at fanservice to see what aimed at whom? Way to narrow a view. And also, you just need to watch more shows, there's plenty of shirtless guys out there in anime, even in the anime you'd probably say is aimed at guys. FrozenJemima said: I tend to find that anime has butt angles to please the male audience but doesn't do anything for the female audience. This reminded me of Anita Sarkeesian's "strategic butt coverings" video lol Anyway, you also have to consider that some of those angles are just due to the layout of the scene rather than please anyone. 4/10 anime I come across, or start to watch, just gives boobs and butts and so I then drop it. Avoid ecchi. |
 |
| Because when girls do or like boyish things, it's considered cool. When boys do or like girly things, they're considered gay filth. Therefore it's more profitable to aim stuff for boys. |
| Why does porn always aim at guys.... <<< Ye, that. Think bout it. Guys r always horny. I suppose japanese ppl r even hornier than that, so there ya go <3 |
| Men usually have more disposable income, that's why. |
| "Laws exist only for those who cannot live without clinging onto them." -Souske Aizen "Bleach"  |
| There are more guys watching animes than girls. When did it happen, I'm not sure. But it's a fact. Why many times they try to be be [b]only[\b] for male viewers? It's a good question. It's true, Shoujo can be seen as anime that meant only for girls, but it's not really true. They don't tend to show anything that men will watch and say "yak" except for it being to cliche for them. Shounen (and surprisingly enough, not seienes from what I saw), though try many times to attrack most genders, have sometimes the will to be for males only. I couldn't survive Rosario + Vampire as they showed all the time the part of the main heroine body I didn't care about (That's a weird to say it, but I try not to sound gross). But still, sometimes it doesn't work. |
 |
| You gotta just search better Shoujo and Josei are mostly for women. But as other said there's a lot more male watchers than female I assume p.p Still there's plenty of feminine stuff ! |
Dort said: Well, that's the difference, girls have choice. That's why you see so many sick males, if you think is hard for you to get a man, just think how hard is for a man get the girl, males can't totally rely just on sex appeal, but we have to do a really hard work...the fact that you don't rely only in your body doesn't change the fact that other women use their sex appeal... and still even if you are not using it purposely, is always working hard...becouse you know males are sick this is pretty much what i was trying to say the whole time, at least the jist of it the phrase "women control sex" is used for a reason lol its a statistical fact that women have sex more often than men WHICH MEANS, less men are able to get with women, and usually one guy with multiple women so for the average guy, even if you want to be with a girl, chances are just naturally higher that you have to fap thats it as a man, don't wanna have to work that hard to get many women?...... become rich so in conclusion.. referring to the OP... i was just saying theres probably more fap worthy material meant for men since every man on earth wants to get laid at some point yet probably isn't on a regular basis, or maybe even at all It's just generally easier for women, I didn't say as a women you SHOULD take advantage of that and u can't masturbate if u want but ofc, theres NOTHING wrong with fapping, so keep fapping away |

| every single one of my forum posts is dumb and invalid except for 1, I don't claim them it was a different person it was all fake |
I'm starting not to be able to stand it either, the annoying useless fanservice. I usually didnt mind it a while ago but it's become so unnecessary. It's either the annoying horny guys that watch the stupid shit or the annoying horny writers and animators that make the shit. Will there ever be an end? I actually see a show that sounds so, looks at genres, "Ecchi" I dont watch it. sometimes if it's only in one episode it's okay, but if you add it anyone who isn't horny they don't watch it.  |
 |
| Because it's better this way ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |
   I envy your delusion; I wish I could live in it  |
| If this is your assumption from completing only 66 anime, I recommend watching a lot more before coming to this conclusion. Apart from that, they give what the audience wants. Anime is considered nerdy, and you find mostly guys targeted for the like. I even heard people assume anime is only for guys. So that's my only guess. |

| Uhmm, why does (almost) EVERY SINGLE ANIME MALE EVER have a six pack? |
 |
| Because originally the majority of anime fans were males, whoever lately, females are starting to be more noticeable in anime industry so we're starting to get more anime aimed for girls, and will probably increase more in the future. Milk_is_Special said: Uhmm, why does (almost) EVERY SINGLE ANIME MALE EVER have a six pack? for the same reason almost every anime girl are really fit and thin. |
 |
| The male market is bigger. and btw Gray from FT spends like half of the FT episodes shirtless lol Tbh it's your own fault. You're not as openly talking about desiring the fan service so the creators don't bother, surely you do somewhere but the creators can't really check every forum.. Theres another thing I don't know the male female mangaka ratio but basing off of the action aspect of stories in anime and manga, and the common speech of male audience being higher for non Asian comics I would assume that there's more male mangakas who surely don't want to go around and draw other naked male's. The female mangakas do it but it's more in mangas rather than animated. |
 |
| Eh, I don't really mind. There just seems to be more male anime fans. |
 |
| Another one of these threads. Eh I never really had issues with Anime as a woman the only genre I don't watch is Harem but seriously... I don't mind ecchi that is made to show off a females body, as long as it has a plot... whatever I don't care. |
 My top anime of 2016 for now: ✗ Haifuri ✗ Mayoiga |
| It all comes down to what kind enthusiasts watch TV more often and are women well-known for watching lots of TV or anime? keep in mind that most Japanese graphic novelists (like Masashi Kishimoto, Rumiko Takahashi and even Osamu Tezuka) make manga for teenage boys. I got a hunch that teenage boys are the more geeky type of people or audience. Imagine how many men watch or enjoy Star Trek or Andromeda compared to women. |
| Our society is still very patriarchal, so the male point of view is still dominant. That said, the female side of things has a strong presence in anime. Magical girl and shounen Ai are targeted towards females. Even fanservice anime tends to have dominnant female characters whose female attributes aren't repressed. Femininity is often seen as cute and desirable. |

| Probably The number of Male Otaku > The number of Female Otaku . And studios naturally aim for the bigger market. Another reason might be that guys are easier to please than girls. So they just do what's easier. Aka ecchi harem |

| if the market larger, of course the amount of product will increasing. but doesn't mean there is no anime for girls complitely. |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| Truth to be told, It's cause guys have more money, than women who spend it on useless shit. |
TheBrainintheJar said: Our society is still very patriarchal, so the male point of view is still dominant. Which society? Japan. No.....they have a capitalist viewpoint and will pander to whatever group gives them the most money. That happens to be MALES. And fanservice anime make a lot of money...thus it makes simple sense why we continue to see a good amount of fanservice anime. Chiaya said: I'm starting not to be able to stand it either, the annoying useless fanservice. I usually didnt mind it a while ago but it's become so unnecessary. Then don't watch it! How hard is that? I personally can't stand the romcom movies Hollywood makes that are obviously targeted to women....so I don't watch them. I rather watch my superhero movies that Marvel and DC are obviously pandering to MY demographic. See...simple. I'll watch something I like and not something I don't like. Why can't anime fans do the same? CapitalistGod said: Because the Japanese male market is much higher... of course. ^this was the ONLY response that was needed in this thread. |
Milk_is_Special said: Uhmm, why does (almost) EVERY SINGLE ANIME MALE EVER have a six pack? Bcuz manservice. (: ************** |
| iirc it's because guys tend to buy shit (figurines,dvds, etc) more than girls. i think it's like this in all sort of media unfortunately.. |
