| now again someone will create a topic "Do you think "'This anime"' is considered sonen?" |
| Yeah, cause it just is. No matter how someone might feel or think about it - it is a Shonen. |
 |
| Not really, but I guess technically it could be considered shounen, so I'm not really going to argue against it or anything. It's just that I've spent so many years differentiating it from other anime so that's probably why it seems off to me. |
 This ground is soiled by those before me and their lies. I dare not look up for on me I feel their eyes |
| It is definitely a shounen given the overall presence of bishoujo girls. Just look at the gym leaders designs. If it were shoujo the leads would be pretty boys in which ash is not. |
 |
| Yes, it was shonen and had a general emphasis on proxy battles. I dunno what it is now. |
| Yes because Shounen is just a demographic, a category of human population, in this case for manga series. It's a category manga magazines assign to their series to clarify which is the JAPANESE ONLY target audience (Shounen="young boy", typically described around 12-16 years old). It doesn't mean fight or action, those are GENRES, a Shounen series can be action/fights like Dragon Ball, harem romcom like Nisekoi (the most common Shounen type nowdays) or any other genre/theme/plot/whatever. This is the same for the other demographics (Shoujo, Seinen, Josei & Kodomo). |
| No I usually investigate the demographic rather than going by feeling |
