Yeah but you know what? that kids stuff is for BOYS and not for GIRLS. Please reevaluate yourself by watching BOYS only stuff if you're a BOY otherwise people think you are creepy guy who watches GIRLS show just to look at GIRLS
You sure must be fun at parties. Also, I hope you knew that I'm a girl

Just ignore him, the only thing's they have in their list are shounen anime, so that says a lot, no variety.

Wtf is this? You're defending pedophile? like just because it's harmless doesn't mean its ok its dangerous. Like you know why parents avoid letting their kids near you people who drools around by looking show like loli and stuff. Like loli is for pedo wtf. Please seek help dude.


I said some. There's even this. Not all pedophiles are child molester like not all porn watcher are sexual offender.

By the way: I'm more into gay stuff, sorry.


Dude.. i'm not even going to play devil's advocate with you anymore. You're comparing porn with child porn which i'm not even going to begin with how ridiculous of a comparison that is. real life Children getting fiddled, show or not is wrong because they can't consent. Those adults who participate in a porn are consenting adults by their own volition. KIDS CAN NOT DO THAT, they can't make that decision because they are still stupid. why do i know this? when i was a kids i was a stupid shit.

unless of course you know a kid that can pay their own taxes or own a house or own a car-

Variety for what? Watching GIRLS stuff with GIRL as mc does not represent you as a BOY. Like i would get made fun of by my bros and friends if watch that stuff when i was a kid like obviously it's just meant for girls so i stayed out of it.

If your friends and family would make fun of you for most of what you like, then you need to ditch them and find better people who respect your interests even if they don't necessarily like what you like.

Magical girl anime are far from the weirdest thing I've ever watched, so no I didn't feel weird watching them. Though to be fair, I kind of feel like I should have felt weird watching one particular series.

Anyways, the only reason you or anyone eles feels this way towards watching certain forms of entertainment is because years of marketing has drilled it into everyones head that you can only enjoy certain things if you fit a certain demographic. Same reason people stigmatize adults for still liking comic books and cartoons. There's more to then that,bit that's the just of it.

The thing that makes porn bad is how it's made. I will, of course, oppose live-action child porn (and live-action porn in general) because you have to use a real child to have sex. But anime is not live-action. You can make a loli anime without using a child as an actor. And no real life child were harmed in this case. (Unless if the child is somehow watching this anime, but do you really want any porn to be viewable by any child?)

Also, the fiction doesn't have to reflect reality. Try to hunt criminals with violence like in shounen anime. Or to make a slapstick comedy or a toilet humor.

Also, by non-live-action porn, the actual pedophiles can enjoy their fantasies without having to molest real children. They'll even lose interest in having sex with real children, preferring to watch the porn instead. (porn in general makes people lose interest with sex). Since child are not involved in making loli porn anime, child in general should be safer.

(Also, we're being off topic on discussing loli porn anime. Magical girl anime are not even porn. They may be even have little to no fanservice. You also say that a man should only be watching a shounen (or seinen) anime. Are you saying it's not OK to have an interest in young girl but it's OK to have an interest in young boy? My complaint with anime fans in general is this double standard.)

The only magical girl anime I've watched if Madoka Magica, eh

But I wouldn't be bothered if I watched a "real" classic one. It may feels cheesy sometimes, but if I enjoy it, I won't mind all that girly atmosphere

I dont feel wierd. I also watch precure. And I love it. Every week I saw a new episode of the currerent season. For this year Star Twinkle precure.

But if you feel wierd watching magical girl for little girls, there is an option for adults: Madoka Magica, Yuki Yuna is a hero, etc.

If you like it, if you have fun and enjoy, keep watchin precure, no matter what negative people say

As a dude who proportionally watches waaaay too much magical girl shows and other shows made specifically for young girls, I'd like to say I never feel weird about watching them, but occasionally, I step back and go "Whoa, how'd I get here?"

That said, you move past that feeling and remember that if you enjoy something, that's all that matters. Life's too short to spend it conforming to what society says you should be doing.

I am a girl but I feel weird watching magical girl anime. I am the only person in my class who watches magical girl anime, other than my best friend, but she isn’t obsessed and it is only because I showed her the best magical girl anime of all time in my opinion (Madoka Magica). Besides, she is more of a shōnen anime fan.

The only magical girl anime I am not ashamed of watching is Madoka Magica. Mainly because of the dark plot and cool stuff about the characters. Also, Madoka Magica isn’t really for kids. And I haven’t really watched many animes to be honest because I have other things on my mind.

But it still feels weird to be a magical girl fan. I feel alone when I think about it (read the top part). True, there are many others out on the internet who are like me, but not st school. I can’t really blame them, though. I’m the one who just can’t seem to tap into ‘cooler’ anime no matter how much I want to.

I don't feel weird or ashamed when it comes to any of my interests. In fact, I love my own taste and I don't feel insecure about what I enjoy. Wow. What a shocker. btw I'm a girl and I probably watch more anime about dudes punching each other than anything else.

For me, no. I watch a lot of different stuff and one thing that ive learned is just to appreciate it. Sure there were times i "felt weird" watching a certain thing but with time you will just accept it and dont worry with that.^^

No because I'm usually enjoying the show way too much to worry about feeling weird for watching it. Also most Mahou Shoujo/Idol/Moe slice of life shows are made to appeal to a mostly male demographic in Japan nowadays. Not to say that they aren't made to appeal to girls or anything as there is certainly crossover in them, but it's no coincidence that the main demographic watching them in Japan is male. Just like how sports shows and shows like K/Bungo Stray Dogs are generally intended to appeal to female demographic in Japan but have male crossover.

That being said, I get crap from my friend group all the time for being into them. Everyone in my friend group watches anime to an extent (ranging from casual to hardcore viewer and manga reader), but no one else in my friend group would even think about watching Madoka Magica or basically any all/mostly female cast show except maybe Claymore.

For those comparing watching Mahou Shoujo's to those who watch My Little Pony, I strongly disagree with the comparison. Firstly there are no actual human or human resembling girls that I am aware of in MLP. Therefore that means there is no moe in these shows, at least for me. Secondly, at least from what I have seen of those who watch MLP is that they tend to watch the show from a standpoint of relating to it's themes and possibly the characters. I don't think this is the case with the majority of males watching these kinds of anime though. The enjoyment comes more from being a bystander watching then actually putting yourself into the show and relating.

Yep,same.I never really enjoyed any of those kind of shoujo anime that are supposedly targeted at girls.I’m a girl and I love shounen with all my heart because I have been never too much of a fan of romance both as a genre and in real life(well except if it’s something like BL).It all comes down to personal preference,I will only care about the stuff I will genuinely enjoy rather than try mold myself around other people´s opinions.

It’s funny I’m sort of in the opposite camp. I like shonen and guy oriented series but I absolutely love girly shit (obviously).

As I have grown I have developed a dgaf attitude and same with magical girl anime. Too me 2 weeks but I developed it, lol.

I still think it comes from not being allowed to like anything remotely girly growing up, like kingdom hearts was too girly kind of thing, lol.

But yeah, now I over compensate and consume a lot of girly and gay media.

Yeah it’s weird because I say that I don’t like romance but at the same time I love my gay shit lol.I guess I was referring to the more typical kind of softcore het romance that is pretty common.But it’s cool that you embraced your more girly identity.I personally never felt weird even seeing the more sexual perverse kind of scenes in shounen(there is a lot of them) because i’m pretty open about that stuff.

Yeah, I’ve noticed with people like you is that other humans are more open than we give them credit for.

We like to focus on the not so open types but growing up I’ve realize nobody give a fuck about what you like sorta thing. Lol, I may seem disjointed but that’s because it is before sunrise where I live.

I'm already a girl so I have it easy xD

But there is NO NEED to feel embarrassed, OP.

Attracting an audience OUTSIDE its target audience is the mark of a good show.

Nanoha's seinen series does make me feel awkward with the "fanservice" scenes; I mean, she's a BABY so I find that gross >_> get that nudity outta here. I've seen others complain about it as well.

Weird, yes. But that won't Stop me from watching it. My only regret is not finding Precure earlier. It's everything i want in a magical girl show.. Girl kicking without the extra baggage called a male lead.

Late af but just ignore it, that's the kind of sexist logic that makes people mistrust male Elementary school teachers.
If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that.
