Maku 01-24-2007 02:54 AM

I prefer Shonen myself, for stuff like Bleach, Death Note and One Piece :D

CrimsonNataku 01-24-2007 03:22 AM

Both and neither, it depends on my mood at the time. My collection is very diverse; I like a little of everything and am not really partial to one genre over the other.

AnimeFreak 01-24-2007 03:29 AM

thts y i asked in the first place....
XD
i like both but for some reason, i only have shojo anime and manga... say, havu u read genbu kaiden? lol its so kool and funny
[i spell cool, kool on purpose...]
i got used to it wen i kept saying tht the 'k' in 'kyo' means kawaii and kool
^_~
actually i kno y i only have shojo... seeing tht ppl make a full collection wen a series ends, i try to wait and get those types of collections... 'try...' some of them, i just couldnt wait!!!
^.^'

I like Shojo mostly. It should be noted that Love Hina is a shonen, as it is geared towards boys.

AnimeFreak 01-24-2007 05:01 AM

yea... i thought bout tht too... but then agen... its pretty girly considering it doesnt have those types of bloodiness like naruto or bleach...
since ther r more girls, u have to understand how the girls' feel towards keitaro... thts his name right?
lol
id ont kno if im right.... iv only heard of bishonen... doesnt tht mean beautiful boys?
im making this one up... bishojo... if this word even existed, does it mean beautiful girls?
lol
it is said tht love hina is like negima so i figure they wer both shojo even though the main character is a guy...
idk... an expert shud figure this one out...
i just seperate shojo and shonen from their bloodiness...

LadyShinigami 01-24-2007 07:12 AM

I like both but my first love was Shojo coz of fushigi yuugi :)

Tangent 01-24-2007 10:39 AM

The shonen storylines are more to my particular taste as they tend to be less cliched and generally less superficial...but at the same time I am actually more likely to buy a shojo because the artwork is just so much more beautiful and rounded and idealistic and I kind of like that. :pandasmile: My love for this style was also founded through reading Fushigi Yugi. :p

Siroi 01-24-2007 03:01 PM

I like both.

Which is Angel Sanctuary considered? I love that manga, but I've only seen Vol. 1 and 2

SamuraiAlchemistNinja 01-24-2007 04:40 PM

I like both, actually!:D

Cloud 01-24-2007 09:38 PM

i've got to admit this one thing though... if u watch the anime, shojo seems more well drawn... wen u read it... like ouran high school, its kinda bad... the drawings i mean... its their mouth tht bugs me...
XD
anyways... both r well drawn in their own way

i tend to hate those things... i dont really like drama bcus... it makes me cry and worry... i prefer action... if u start with a drama in front of me, ill b sooo curious... but then ill hate it after i see it bcus ... i just dont like to b known as liking dramatic, it sometimes makes me hate the characters...

Rayfain 01-30-2007 06:47 PM

Shonen...i've not seen much shojo.

Natchan 01-30-2007 08:22 PM

Okay so I like some shojos, such as Fruits Basket, Sailor Moon, and Ouran Highschool Host Club,but I'd deffinitely say that I preffer most Shonens!

AnimeFreak 02-01-2007 01:14 AM

Yep!!!
I Kno!

SnoutCat 02-01-2007 02:00 AM

I like both genres, so I end up choosing between them based on my current mood.

i watch both at the same time... if the last shonen episode was boring or too serious or just sad, i wud watch shojo to bring my mood up into a happy one

Kazumi 02-02-2007 04:19 AM

I like shojo the most but I also like Shonen.

FlyingDaggers 02-02-2007 07:31 PM

Shounen all the way, but there are great Shoujos like I''S

SoranaRose 02-06-2007 05:49 AM

I say shojo!! I love Fruits Basket and Kodocha!!

Chrissy 04-15-2007 09:42 AM

Hm, i like both kind of Mangas/Animes

Shojo:
Mars, Peach Girl,
all of Yuu Watase,
all of Mayu Shinjo, and many more

Shounen:
One Piece, Conan......

And specially: Shounen-Ai :D [Mangas and Animes *nosebleed*]

AKIRA 04-15-2007 09:20 PM

I think I'll settle for shonen manga. shojo manga, the girls tend to be really annoying.

Pedobear 04-15-2007 09:24 PM

Neither. Seinen is superior.

YaksokuDa 04-15-2007 09:26 PM

shonen hands down. but they both have works that i like and dislike, but shonen has more i like than dislike so i choose them.

CountessDarkRose 04-18-2007 06:44 AM

I personally prefer shoenen, but with a hint of SOME light shoujo touches too it, such as possible romance and things like that
