A lot of kids magical girls shows feel like they're made for little girls like preschool girls, maybe early elementary at oldest.
>>
>>287112067
Even Sailor Moon gives off a little girls show vibe. I never feel like DBZ or Naruto aim very young, but stuff like Sailor Moon and Precure I do.

The original Powerpuff Girls series from the 90s has an older skewing vibe than shows like Ojamajo Doremi, Precure, Sailor Moon, Mermaid Melody, the list goes on.
>>
>>287112072
Don't get me wrong, DBZ and Naruto are kids animes, but they feel older aimed than Sailor Moon and Precure.

Sailor Moon has sexy girls and stuff like panty shots, they definitely knew older guys would watch it as well
The whole moralfagging thing is honestly so over the top that it feels ironic to me, like it’s a running gag or parody. Not sure how serious they were when writing it but Sailor Moon for a lot of its runtime feels like a comedy show, early on at least
It also doesn’t feel like it’s aimed solely at girls either. It’s pretty obvious why the girls keep simping for men, most of which are older than them.

Any anime where the girls are drawn sexy and with regular proportions instead of chibi blobs made to look funny is made with at least in part adult men in mind

Giving something for the parents to enjoy while the kids watch their shows is just the staff being considerate.

Maid uniforms are a shitty fetish.
Japs always feel the need for the archaic sexual foreplay of having a submissive pretty woman refering to them as "my master" instead of allure simply by wearing revealing dresses, playful attitude, etc.
Worst part is that they're always pushing this one way or another into any damn romcom or even isekai, even more than other cliched shit like beach episodes, and even if it makes no sense for it to appear. It's obnoxious as hell

Tokusatsu since at least mid-Heisei has been the opposite
the target audience is mainly preschool boys (for the hero and monster fights) and their 30-40 year old moms (for the prettyboy 20-something male models they hire to be the human forms of the heroes)

It's a different audience that wants different content and emphasis. Look at the books that girls in middle and early high school read and you'll understand why they would eat up shows like Sailor Moon.

Sailor Moon was made for the 8-12 F market and coded for the 40 M market by a platoon of lascivious ojisan episode directors. It achieved unprecedented success in foreign markets in the 14-20 M demo due to the emerging novelty of dramatic japanese animation vs the typical cat&mouse gag cartoons and blue-laser/red-laser fare that was in abundance in the west.

That was a shonen series. The entire joke was that it looks like cutesy little girl slop, and then it hard cuts to extremely graphical violence, like them punching people's teeth out, and snapping their arms and legs in half

Most of the only decent drama romance manga that get made nowadays are either yuri or shojo-leaning. Straight romance has been ruined by the prevalence of either self insert cardboard cutout MCs or extreme japanese autism about characters acting like they are in middle school even if they are young adults.
There are way more good serious romance manwhas/manhuas/webtoons than manga nowadays.
Though japan is still head and shoulders above the others when it comes to haremshit trainwrecks which are some of the most fun manga to read weekly.

It was ruined by feminism. Men aren’t allowed to be chads in media anymore
>>
>>287118098
I doubt it is because of that since on most manga with a shit MC the female characters are also one dimensional cliche archetypes whose only purpose in life is to chase the MC's dick.
Most jap authors nowadays just can't write romance for shit. It is happening on the VN side as well.
I would theorise it is because of marriage and long relationships becoming less and less part of japanese life, but that's even more extreme in south korea (which is also a more feminist nation than japan. They copy everything America does pretty much) yet I see lots of pretty good romance manwha coming out, so idk.
>>
>>287118098
Bull fuckin shit you little shitstain. It's because weak faggots like you are afraid of "chads" and your tiny little faggot dick crawls back up inside you if you ever see a protag/male love interest who isn't le generic loser autist brownhair.

The anime adaptation of Azumanga Daioh is unwatchable.

Maid *uniforms* are a shitty fetish. "Maid cafe" does not capture the appeal of a maid. A maid is a servant called upon to assist with the most intimate details of her master's household. Extending this to the bedroom is fairly obvious. Making the maid into a waiter is wrong.

Frieren is a boring series that only gained cult status among normalfags in the West because there are no pantsus or nipples and because it focuses on an old elf and a fat woman.

It should have ended after the first episode.
>>
>>287112067
I feel like this is meant to be a stealth thread but I'll post anyway.
I could never get into Gainax anime. You can tell they're made by otaku for otaku and personally, being constantly reminded of other anime just makes me want to watch those anime instead, specially when they grab my interest more than the one I'm currently watching. Even their adaptations fall flat for me.

I wouldn't go that far. I just think some of them also lean into coomer appeal a bit.
>>
>>287124284

>>287123931
It's usually people trying to rationalize them as for adult men or teen girls, when the marketing in Japan says otherwise.
>>
>>287125233
>the marketing in Japan
You mean the one that has waifu figures of the girls with visible panties?
>>
>>287112067
Because they are.
Teens want dramas. They arent' going to watch a cartoon any more than you're going to watch Teen Titans Go to see a crime drama. If an older girl is watching anime, something is wrong with them just like something is wrong with us.

Besides most anime is WAY TOO SHALLOW with relationships and character development to be remotely attractive to any hormonal teenager growing up past the age of 12. I think Tamon's B-Side was the only one last season that had anything resembling older woman appeal.

>The whole moralfagging thing is honestly so over the top that it feels ironic to me, like it’s a running gag or parody.
It's a society wide gag that started as a joke but then morphed into all Gen Z knows. bombarded with propaganda constantly to hate reproducing, sex, attraction, and have intense cute-aggression.
>Oh you mean Sailor Moon
No that is a parody because Usagi is the last person who should be lecturing anyone on being an upstanding, morally good person.
>>
>>287124465
Listen Gen Z is fucked up and they're old enough to post here now. I've seen them have screaming fits at people at the beach. Literal "COVER YOURSELF!!!!" propaganda from the 50s. Everyone is coomer, everything is degenerate, if you touch your genitals in the shower you're a degenerate coombrain, every show is diddy epstein, there is no escaping it.

>>287125697

No really, Usagi is a rotten person, but teenage girls are generally rotten.

and yes, this is the unpopular opinion that even though Dragon Ball Z is also a kids anime, I do think DBZ at the very least feels like it's for slightly older kids than Sailor Moon.
