| Kaiji has a big female fanbase, from what I've heard, and it's my favorite show. |
| Honestly, I'm a guy and I can't think the last "girls" anime I've watched or enjoyed. Looking at my list, Ouran HS is probably the only one that fits. One of the best anime I've ever seen even if the ending kinda sucked. |

Kare Kano is still the only shoujo-tagged that I liked, and that's only because it had no disgusting taboos. |
Rynia said: I'm a girl and I'll say I watch more "guy" animes compared to "girl" animes. I just can't live without action. =.=. But when I was new to anime, or younger, I liked watching "girl" ones more than "guy" ones. AHHH WE'RE BACK TO SQUARE ONE. I hate it when nobody reads. Not hating on you specifically, but the same thing has been said 30+ times. I'd actually count if I weren't so irritated. |
| No it wasn't that. I was just mad that this thread might turn back to the same discussions as before: people listing things that aren't only for girls as shoujo, or assume that all shounen are only for boys. Rather than listing them indiscriminately (like what's been done meaninglessly for 7-8 pages or so), I want to go back to the discussion about what defines 'exclusiveness' for male and female audiences. |
| I'm a guy, but I'm in hopeless need of heartwarming stories. I usually can't watch shows that have yaoi though. Aishiteruze Baby Kaichou wa Maid-sama Kanon Kure-nai(not too girly) Usagi Drop 7 Centimeters per second And plenty of other ones I'm forgetting....but that should give you an idea. I'm not too embarrassed, but I'm sure I would be to say that to my guy friends. I might boast to my girl friends though :P |
| The only one on that list that might be remotely shoujo-only is Kaichou wa Maid, and there's a big male following as well. why do I even try.. |
| Am attempting to watch Itazura na Kiss. Struggling to keep my self from rolling on the floor to rid of excess 'moe', stupidity and all that blushing crap. Ugh, such a frightening experience. |
 |
| I don't get it. Why watch it if you're not into that? You've far from exhausted your options. |

The Internet is a very bad place, you should never go there. |
| Actually, I've started a thread on that, spoiler. At any rate, these 'other' perspectives are totally off topic. I used sexual tension as my only point because it was the one you brought up, and it was the only difference between male and female viewers. But, seeing as how this thread has reverted back to its original phase, I doubt there will be any more discussions to be had about this. Need some fresh blood around here. |
| well, not that i care, but i think it's kind of arrogant saying i brought the topic up since i wasn't really asking a question to begin with, nor in any case asking for a reply. my third post in this thread, i did start to bring more subjects into this discussion, which i did because you seemed to ignore every other possible perspective on the case we already engaged in arguments over. there is nothing that prohibits me from doing so. i really could not care less about this topic, and the only reason i joined in was because of your one-sided perspective. at any rate i have stopped caring. this is how it started, from there on the subject was changed, by you. |

| I'm a guy and here are some anime I like that would be considered more "girly" Kaichou wa maid-sama Lovely Complex Clannad Hanasaku Iroha Kimi ni Todoke and pretty much all the other girly romantic shoujo anime out there that I've seen. |
| I'm a male and I enjoyed Aishiteruze Baby Lovely Complex Kimi ni Todoke Marmalade Boy |
 |

| I think I've seen and liked too much Josei anime. |
| Guy here and my favorite series is Natsume Yuujinchou (shoujo series, idk why doesn't seem like it) a shame that hardly anyone seems to watch it. Other "girl" shows: --Chihayafuru --Kimi to Boku --Lovely Complex (does Toradora count too, these two are very similar.) --No.6 --Ouran High School Host Club |

| i'm a guy toradora is one of the best anime i have ever seen |
| I'm male but I do enjoy the occasional shoujo or josei. Honey and Clover being my 3rd favorite of all time. There have been others I've seen like Nana or Toradora but didn't enjoy them nearly as much. |
| Yu Yu Hakusho Rorouni Kenshin (Samurai X) Trigun And I'm a girl XD |

| I actually thought about this the other day.. the fact that I can can't stand shoujo shows (apart from the odd few, like OHSHC or Special A) but I adore shounen shows and I'm a girl.. well I've always preferred guyish things. I especially love Katekyo Hitman Reborn Naruto Shippuden Bleach One Piece Fairy Tail Digimon |
 |
| only card captor sakura and pretty cure was the worst -.- |
 Watch Tokyo Ghoul Root A http://kissanime.com/G/18486?l=http%3a%2f%2fkissanime.com%2fAnime%2fTokyo-Ghoul-A |
| There is no such thing as girl or guy anime. Everyone has his own preferences of watching genres.I, myself am watching all kinds of series. It doesn't matter if it's a girl anime or guy anime if it's great to watch, I'll watch it |
 |
| As long as the anime is good, it doesnt bother me if its for guys or for girls. |
 |
| I'm a girl and I like: HOTD Kore wa Zombi desu ka? Tenjou Tenge Detroit Metal City Ghost in the Shell Excel Saga FLCL Vampire Hunter D Petshop of Horrors Dogs: Bullets & Carnage |
 |
| I simply don't care whether an anime is targeted for a female or male audience when I decide whether I want to watch something or whether I liked it or not. I've watched a huge variety of different types of anime, some very feminine some very masculine - I rate them (like/dislike) on whether or not the show was actually good, don't really care about anything else. |

Even when I'm old and my spine is bent... My soul's got to be straight." |
| I'm a girl, and my favourite is shounen. My friend told me I broke his imagine about otaku girls. :D |

| I'm a guy and I watched Toradora!, Lovely Complex and a lot more of those kind of shows :P I don't really care if it's for guys or girls, if I liked it then I like it if I don't, I don't :P |

| Thing about girls is that it's perfectly normal for them to like what guy's like. However when it works vice versa, the guy is labeled a few names. But anyways, I guess the only "girl" anime I watched are Clannad and Clannad AS and 5 cm/sec. |
| I'm a guy and I've watched: Toradora Lovely Complex Ano Hanna 5 centimeters per second Blood+ (felt like it was targeted at women even though it had some common shounen elements) Higashi no Eden Kimi ga Nozomu Eien Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 Usagi Drop Hanasaku Iroha There are a lot of romance anime on this list for which it is hard to determine the audience like Lovely Complex. I've also seen both seasons of KON and and Azumanga Daioh, but even though all the characters are female it still feels like they are targeting guys that like moe :D. |

But anyways, I guess the only "girl" anime I watched are Clannad and Clannad AS and 5 cm/sec. No matter how old some guys get, they are still afraid of "catching girl germs"? Pocket history lesson: Way, way back in the way-back-when, girls didn't wear pink because it was considered too "active a color." Additionally, up until the later 1800's men in general, (yes, even the very straight "macho" ones) wore lace and make up. I hardly think watching Shoujo, Josie, drama and/or romance is going to diminish anyone's manliness. If you are really secure in your self even a little implied Shounen Ai won't "contaminate" you. Great stories can be found in all corners. . . . . except perhaps shounen/highschool/rom/com/harem . . . . Just kidding. . . . .sorta. ;-) |
