| Sounds interesting. I'll give this a try. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| - seems the appeal is mainly towards female demography - wonder if there is enough source material with only 4 volumes of manga |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| It looks interesting, I'll try it when it comes out. |
As it turns out, living was a punishment...  |
| Fantasy seinen? I might be interested. |
  |
| Looks promising. |
 |
| look forword to it |

| hell yeah! great news!! |
 |
| Great news, although I wonder if they have enough material. symbv said: - seems the appeal is mainly towards female demography - wonder if there is enough source material with only 4 volumes of manga It's a Seinen, not a Josei. And as far as I know there are - in fact - a lot of males that do enoy this show. I just hope they do the art justice - I really like this aspect of this series. |

symbv said: - seems the appeal is mainly towards female demography - wonder if there is enough source material with only 4 volumes of manga That actually is a relief, if it mainly appeals for females I can expect not much ecchi, hopefully. I worry about the source material too though, but it should be enough for ~13 episodes. Anyway, this seems interesting, looking forward to it! |
| I probably regret this post by now. |

| I will watch it.... But I don't think that there are enough source material for a season.... |

| guess i will stop reading the manga for now and wait for the anime |
| looking forward to it! |
  |
| Nice!! It's great to see a series you used to work on get animated *-* WCW ftw!!! |
symbv said: - seems the appeal is mainly towards female demography - wonder if there is enough source material with only 4 volumes of manga -Only one male character. -big boobed girl. -harem elements and plenty of ecchi. Yup, the main appeal is definitely towards the female demography. |
| Might give it a try. |

The plot is not that great but I think it appeals a lot more to males. |

| Jojolion anime when? |
| Lol, looks like it might be interesting |
 If you really want to fit in, just put Legend of the Galactic Heroes in your top 5 and have it be the only 10-rated anime in your list. |
| Dunno... might give it a try~ |
Nidhoeggr said: The thing is since I read two recent surveys about LN/manga/anime popular with females, I don't think those factors that you or Downgrade555 mentioned may matter as much as before or as we might think. In the last 2 years the LNs that are most popular with female include SAO, Haganai, OreImo and -monogatari. Harem, incest, or ecchi are not factors that necessarily repel female readers. I think the taste of the female readers in Japan is shifting, and is no longer following the stereotypical conventional wisdom of what appeals or repels female readers/watchers.Um, I read the manga as well. The plot is that great but I think it appeals a lot more to males. |

| Looks somewhat interesting, I'll check it out. |
| I've just started reading the Manga recently and I've gotta say, it feels more like a Seinen... It may just be a case like Gintama where over 60% of the viewers using the wikia page were female... :| |

he sits next to Kagari Ayaka, the school's #1 beauty. I'm getting sick of this shit. |

That doesn't mean that it may not appeal to women, just as josei titles may appeal to men, etc... A good example would be Otome Youkai Zakuro, which is also in a seinen magazine. The author actually stated that she did aim it toward a more feminine perspective, even though it was being published in a seinen magazine. (In the interview in the Zakuro premium edition from NIS.) She kind of considered it a challenge to make something that was kind of girly in a magazine aimed at guys. I think she thought of it as a way to broaden the appeal, so that women might want to buy the magazine too. Perhaps this is the same type of thing, but from some of the drawings I have seen, I doubt it, it looks pretty aimed at the male libido... I mean mind set... I suppose the best way to find out is to read/watch it! I think I will! ;) When I discribe Ah! My Goddess to friends, they frequently wonder if it isn't aimed at girls too... (Definitely not!) |

| I the first 10 chapters a year ago but the updates were once every 2 months or something long so I dropped. Since I found the manga ok, I'll give the anime a try since the updates should be consistent. |

zensunni said: Remember I did not say it was "aimed" but that it had "appeals" to female. Since I know Good Afternoon magazine is a seinen magazine, my statement is under the context that it is a seinen manga (with the aim being the male). Well, the fact that it is in a seinen magazine means taht is is not mainly aimed at female demography. That doesn't mean that it may not appeal to women, just as josei titles may appeal to men, etc... And I think you have given a very good example of Otome Youkai Zakuro where the aim/target consumer and what kind of consumer it ends up appealing to can be a bit different. As for Ah My Goddess, the art style is kind of neutral but the subject matter of mechanics and engineering is not something that appeals to females, at least back when the days when it was first published. |

Takamiya Honoka is a regular student No.whose only problem seems to be that he sits next to Kagari Ayaka, the school's #1 beauty. No.They have never spoken to each other before and any small interaction between them immediately results in her fanclub beating him. Fuck no.Kagari tells him it is her mission to protect him and that now she can finally protect him openly rather than undercover. Kill it with fire. |

| Seinen + Supernatural? Count me in! |
 |
| I don't want to bash this before it's released, but the girl looks like a transvestite. |
| Literally yesterday I started reading this manga wow. I'll watch it. |
| only masculine feature she's got is the slightly elongated face... Now you guys are starting to make me feel like she might be a trans... I mean I was 100% sure it was a girl even at first glance... but... whatever. -_- |
