2025-10-30 16:56:46 +0000 UTCbtw if you ever plan on watching jujutsu kaisen i would just like to tell you that it is more plot driven than character focused. as someone who places more value on characters, development and relationships, this fact really kept jjk from being a loved show of mine

2025-08-25 20:14:44 +0000 UTCThis will be long, but I don't know how to send it to them directly, so i'll post it here: Hi Lola and Milena! I write this because I've noticed something about your reactions: Most of the anime you've reacted is shonen or seinen (for example: Haikyuu→Shonen; Attack on Titan→ Shonen; Death Note→Shonen; Frieren→Shonen; Fullmetal Alchemist→ Shonen; HunterXHunter→Shonen; Ranking of Kings →Shonen; Vinland Saga→ Seinen; Monster→Seinen) This is not an issue by itself (Vinland Saga is one of my favourite manga ever): that's just how the industry works; those are the ones who become famous. Even if it's not a "problem", I'd recommend you to check shōjo and josei anime for a more broad experience. But first, a bit of an explanation: Manga is published in magazines. The magazines are categorized in demographies. The demographies are: Shonen→young/teen boy Seinen→Adult man Shōjo→young/teen girl Josei→Adult woman Kodomo→Kids Inside every demography there are manga of MANY genres (So no, it's not "romance=girls". There's drama, fantasy, horror, adventure, and any genre you can imagine in each). Even within every demography, each magazine has different age groups (some shonen are more "mature", and others are more "for kids"). IMPORTANT: All of this is just the TARGET. Once the manga is published, obviously anyone can read it and enjoy it regardless of gender. It's just a label. It can seem sexist to say that there's "manga for boys/girls", but as I said, it's just the target (every product sold anywhere, has a target, and it influences the way it's done, promoted, announced, etc). And right now, as the things "for man" are becoming the norm, and "the neutral", the demographies ensure that there's content made with woman in mind. I'm a 24 year old nb-man, and i'm very aware of the patriarchal state of the world (which if course has huge issues). In the case of manga, the ones targeted to women are often LESS promoted, LESS adapted to anime (and when they are, often have mediocre adaptations, and almost always have just 1 season of 12 episodes, leaving the story unfinished). This is very sad, because there are MANY INCREDIBLY AMAZING stories that are invisibilized and ignored by the readers/watchers. Because of that, I want to recommend you some shōjo and josei anime that I think you would enjoy. SHŌJO: • Fruits Basket (2019) (61 episodes) (completed) Drama about a young girl dealing with life. A story about trauma, grief, found family, healing, and much more. • Revolutionary Girl Utena (1997) (39 episodes) (completed) Deconstruction of gender roles through the "prince" and "princess" stereotypes. It's FULL of METAPHORES and SYMBOLISM, as it explores MYSOGINY and the suffering of women. • Natsume's Book of Friends (2008-2024. Still ongoing) (around 83 episodes) (hopefully we'll get more seasons). A story about healing. A fantastical tale about a boy growing up with the ability to see Yōkai (reatures from japanese folklore). Each one, with unique lifes. The main character is the definition of "MY BOY! MY BABY BOY!". • Yona of the dawn (2015) (24 episodes) Adventure, journey, trauma, action... The equivalent to One Piece. Sadly, even though Yona is one of the best selling manga, and is a LONG story with more than 50 volumes published... we only have 1 (one!) season for the anime. As I said, the industry prioritizes shonen😅🥲 • The Rose of Versailles (1979) (40 episodes) (complete). One of the most influential manga EVER, with an incredible adaptation to anime. Set in the French Revolution, we follow the story of Lady Oscar (a girl who has been raised as a boy, and becomes Commander of the Royal Guard) and Maria Antoinette (future Queen of France). A political drama, filled with fights, angst and social critique. • Banana Fish (2018) (24 episodes) (Completed) Crimes, Mafia, Drugs, Drama... set in New York in the 1980's. • Skip Beat! (2008) (24 episodes) (We are waiting for more seasons...🥲) A fun yet deep story ablut a girl trying to join the entertainment industry. Hilarious humor, and nice emotional exploration of each character's trauma. • Kageki Shôjo! (2021) (13 episodes) (We are waiting for more seasons...🥲) A story about girls joining a theatrical academy, to become performers. The main characters are sunshine, and it's super fun! It has some triggering stuff (it deals with sexual abuse, alimentary disorders, and more...). The manga just keeps getting better, so I hope they do another season... • Nana (2006) (47 episodes) (The anime is incomplete, but the manga is incomplete too, so it counts as complete, with a unique ending). The story of two very different girls who share the same name, and meet in a train to Tokyo. One wants to become a rock star, the other wants to be a housewife. A very deep and painful narration of their lifes, surrounded by flawed characters (like themselves). JOSEI: • Chihayafuru (2012-2020) (74 episodes) (We are waiting for more seasons...🥲) A sport anime about a japanese game (Karuta), but at the same time it's MUCH MUCH MUCH MORE. It can't be described with words, you have to experience it. I would say that it's the equivalent of Haikyuu, but even better in almost every aspect. • Kids on the Slope (2012) (12 episodes) Musical drama set in the 1960's. About Jazz, family, friends, and social unjustices. • Paradise Kiss (2005) (12 episodes) By the same mangaka who made Nana. This one is about a girl who wants to learn about the fashion industry. • Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu (2016) (25 episodes) Deep drama, around the japanese storytelling traditional performances od Rakugo • Natsuyuki Rendezvous (2012) (11 episodes) (Complete) A fantastical story about healing and mourning the dead. It uses some supernatural elements, and has a unique narration style. About an adult young man who falls in love with an woman (a bit older than him) who works on a flower shop. But then, he starts seeing rhe ghost of her dead husband!? There's also Uramichi Oniisan (dark humor), and Nondame Cantabile (orchestral drama?), and many others... Anyway, I'm sorry for this long text. I know it might be hard for these to win polls, as the famous ones are always the ones with most publicity and more mainstream, and those are usually shonen and seinen... but I hope you'll give them a chance either way! Thank you for reading!
