| Why do i watch it? For the melodrama of course!!! Toying with ones emotion is something very interesting. |
 |
| After watching ton of shounen romance with [b]retarded, clueless, wimpy protagonist, I bet everyone can use a change of pace with shoujo genre. |
 |
| well, its cute. and some has really good stories that i like. |
 |
| because masculinity is a sham. get with it. |
No one can justify life by linking happy moments into a rosary.  |

As long as the shoujo does not transform the MC into Mary Sue like most shojo today and as long as it does not throw stuff like a woman beating a man twice her size without a proper explanation shojo can be enjoyable. There are some shojo I liked. And then you have the second category of effeminate weak men that actually believe a woman can beat a guy twice her size without anything to enhance her abilities.And training does not count. |
| Because we don't break a law by watching it and because it's good and fun to watch. A genre is a genre and watching a bitch fight here and there is always great |
| Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else. -Margaret Mead |
| Shoujo's that have only 1 leading male is fine, because it's focused more on their relationship. If it's a reverse-harem then I don't see myself watching it. |
  |
| I know you are asking guys but I'm a girl and hate Shojo with romance tag, the characters are just boring and stupid. |
| Because your gender doesn't have to define your taste in anime. |
| Why do girls watch shounen? I DON'T CARE! |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| Just because it's "targeted" at a specific audience and age group that shouldn't stop you. Watch/read what you want. |
 It’s okay to look back at the past, just don’t stare too long |
| How do you even come up with such a stupid question, the answer should be obvious. Not attacking or anything, just wondering. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Even if it's rare, there are some good stuff there too. Spitfiire said: For music, maybe, but for art it's more of an exception than a rule. For the average shoujo the visuals, whether it's the art or animation part, I can't think of more than a handful that are actually above average.I would add that the art and the soundtracks are amazing as well in the shoujo department. |
  |
| Because you shouldn't let basic genre labels blind your judgement. I love romance, I love fluff, I love drama, and yet I find that most of my favorite shows are SHOUNEN instead of SHOUJO. Shocking isn't it? As much as I can be a magical girl junkie, I still also love stuff like eureka seven and yu yu hakusho. Labels mean nothing except for what tropes you can probably expect. |
Ericonator said: By definition, everything is retro since by the time you realize something has happened it's already in the past.  |
| To me, I don't usually care about the genre, I watch something that I feel like it, if I want some nerve-wrecking and mind-bending stuff I look for Psychological, If I want some zero to hero and good guy vs. bad guy, I watch shounen, and if I feel like to watch something fluffy and light-hearted to ease my mind, I watch Shoujo or Slice-or-life. I'm practically open to any type of show and genre |
| Why do girls watch shounen? yeah...... |

HeadlessHorseman said: Some say, while visiting Japan on a college semester abroad, a Gaijin MAL Tourist snuck into the attic of a shop in Akihabara. It was there that the MAL user found a rare and ancient Gunpla which had only been released as part of a limited series. The MAL user's eyes glowed with envy, and he whispered to himself, "If I were to possess such a treasure, then power, women, and money would all be within my grasp!" As he reached for the Gunpla a hoarse voice spoke from across the room, "Please.... while time has taken many things from me, including my legs, my otaku soul has never faltered." As the MAL user's eyes adjusted to the attic lighting, he saw an elderly wheelchair bound man with a distinct plad shirt, and idol headband. The elderly man extended his arms towards his Gunpla, with tears in his eyes and a begging expression. The MAL user paused for a moment, as he considered the sad sight before him, but then a ray of moonlight shined through a window and illuminated the splendor of the Gunpla. Doubts silenced, the MAL user grabbed the Gunpla and raced out of the attic. As the MAL user dashed into the night, it is said that the elderly man in the attic cried out, "I CURSE YOU!!! I CURSE YOU AND ALL OF YOUR KIND FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO ME! No matter what your people do, they will never escape the pain you've caused me today when they look upon their forum boards!"Why does MAL have bad forum topics all the time? Not attacking or anything, just wondering. |
| The shoujo genre has its own quirks and tropes far different to any other genre and it's sometimes a breath of fresh air to watch it. But mostly because it's pretty cute most of the time |
 Latest reviews: Wonder Egg Priority and A Couple of Cukoos |
| I don’t really watch shoujo because I perceive a stigma against men who watch romance anime aimed at women. If I do watch one, it’d be as a guilty pleasure. |
| Shoujo romances tend to have confident, domineering males. I can imagine male viewers finding their idealized romance in these stories more often than any other genre. |
  |
| Shounen is common in seeing it, and it tends to be boring because the content it presents is usually the same. Shoujo is a bit more mature and, although it is supposed to be "made for or see the girls", I have more preference for watching the comedies and dramas presented in this theme. |
   You and the rose are connected. Know the weight of your own life |
| Sorry I dont check the demographic target group before I watch a show. |
| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| Because it’s one of the few genres I can really enjoy alot |
 plz @ me |
| Considering Cardcaptor Sakura is one of my favourite shows, I can say it's because shoujo anime is worth watching for cuteness alone and I'm a 27 year old man. Maybe that's why as I have grown far beyond caring about target demographics. |
  |
| The focus in shoujo anime tends to be on character interaction and development, and that's kinda my jam, so of course I'm gonna dive right in. |
 This glorious signature image was created by @Mayumi! I am the Arbiter of Absolute Truth, and here is my wisdom: "Anime was always influenced by the West. This is not news. Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people. Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation. There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime. You should be watching Carole & Tuesday." |
| Why do girls like shonen? It's the same thing, different genres are fun to watch I like shonen more obviously based on my name and pfp but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy a good shoujo from time to time my dude. |
 |
| I watch/read whatever looks interesting or what might be something I really enjoy. I don't care about genre or demographic that much. |
 |
| There are some nice shoujo just like Lovely complex and ore monogatari oh! watched tonari too, other than that won't bother. |
| Cause it's fun. Watching stuff like 3d kanojo and kimi ni todoke after some ecchi trash is a nice change. |
    |
| Because I am a man, and it takes a real man to watch Shoujo! |
 |
| it just one of the genre. so nothing special. I'm also don't like shoujo very much at first but changed my mind after watching k-on. from that, I continue to watch other shoujo anime. plus why I also like shoujo romance manga, maybe because the romance itself produce the type of romance that I'm looking for. solid, almost realistic, no harem, and always stick to one person. |
| I just love watching light-hearted romance stuff from time to time. Some shoujo stuff just makes me happy and it's a nice change of pace after watching something with a heavier storyline. (I'm not a guy, but I think that's the reason for most guys also) Nerdanimefan1992 said: TheProblemIsntMe said: Not attacking or anything, just wondering. I don’t watch it mostly because of the 1 dimensional sex object male characters You are right, seeing Takeo Gouda is just... Damnnn!!  |
