A lot of kids magical girls shows feel like they're made for little girls like preschool girls, maybe early elementary at oldest.
>>287112067Even 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.
>>287112072Don't get me wrong, DBZ and Naruto are kids animes, but they feel older aimed than Sailor Moon and Precure.
>>287112067Anime girls look cute with short hair and a lot of them could use a lot of "character development"
>>287112067>>287112084Sailor Moon has sexy girls and stuff like panty shots, they definitely knew older guys would watch it as wellThe 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 leastIt 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.
magical girls shows are made for an audience of both little preschool girls and adult men
>>287112067It is absurd to focus on target demographics. It's marketing jargon of no relevance to the audience.
>>287112483Yep
>>287112483>>287112523What a time to be alive
>>287112067That is not an unpopular opinion, it's the literal truth. I still enjoy them though.
>>287112067What part of these is unpopular?
>thread for bitching
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
>>287113522Giving something for the parents to enjoy while the kids watch their shows is just the staff being considerate.
Gintama is unfunny shit.
>>287113522yeah, Boku no Pico is right up your alley
>>287113564>Panty shots and waifu fanservice are for people who have kids
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
>>287113567this was funnyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zLKca1xJFs
>>287113668You sound gay.
>>287112523Tokusatsu 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)
>>287115046>kamen rider milf fansI cant wait to be a old man
>>287112067I think Frieren sucks
>>287113668Yeah I never saw the appeal. Then again I grew up watching western media, where maids are usually old/frumpy/British
>>287112072>>287112084Naruto is made for little boys
>>287115814Naruto got children on his own
>>287112067Feel like?
>>287112067It'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.
>>287112067That's not an opinion, that's just a fact.
>>287112067Feeling that a fact is true is an unpopular opinion?
>>287112067Sailor 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.
>>287115814Yeah but it's still fappable
>>287112120Based
>>287115814Naruto is for 11 year old boys and 12 year old boys and that kind of stuff.
I miss the monster of the week formula
>>287112072>The original Powerpuff Girls series from the 90sThat 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
>>287116939>time time they beat the piss out of a mostly innocent clownBrutal
>>287116869You can always watch Precure
>>287116939You can clearly tell by the art style that this is for kids, they’re not sexualized in a realistic way like the sailor senshi are
>>287116631Based on what?
>>287112067Sailor Moon didn't feel that way until they added Chibi rat
>>287116939>Yeah but it's still fappable
>>287112067Most 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.
>>287117490>Straight romanceStraight romance from the more shonen approach*
>>287117423Love these brats
>>287117490>Straight romance has been ruined by the prevalence of either self insert cardboard cutout MCs or extreme japanese autismIt was ruined by feminism. Men aren’t allowed to be chads in media anymore
>>287118098I 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.
>>287118098Bull 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.It's always because of weak faggots like you.
>>287118330But I am asking for chad MCs to come back
>>287112067I want to fuck Chibi
>>287117055>clown>innocent
>>287118098It wasn't, feminists attack sexy female characters, but will turn around and drool over a hot male.
>>287112067>A lot of kids magical girls shows feel like they're made for little girlsanon, i...
>>287118330Retard.
>>287118837They view male sexuality as inherently evil and so attack any man being forward.
>>287116939iirc, Craig McCracken has said he intended PPG to appeal to both genders. Can't say it didn't work either.
>>287117423PPGZ was sexier tho
The anime adaptation of Azumanga Daioh is unwatchable.>>287113668Maid *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.>>287115192Why not start now, anon? Chatting up bored housewives with your knowledge of toku. Imagine it.
>>287118684Does this look like the face of a deviant?
Incest is disgusting and wrong
>>287119669Agreed. But I like it
>>287113617How do you think parents produce children, anon?
>>287120881if they love each other very much, they pray to god and then a stork delivers a baby through the chimney
>>287112067>cartoon made for little girls is made for little girlswow!
>>287119669I remember reading the manga a decade ago. Didn't Chibiusa try to fuck her father or something?
>>287112067Frieren 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.
>>287112067I 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.
>>287121461Oh, that reminds me:I hate elves.
>>287112067Kaoru Mori is a great artist but I dont like any of the stories she writes.
>>287121158It's more that I have the unpopular opinion that most magical girl shows for kids have this feeling like they are aimed at preschoolers or first and second graders.
>>287113668
>>287123390because they literally areanyone trying to rationalize them as secretly being for adult men are no better than bronies and blueyfags trying to justify what they like
>>287123931I wouldn't go that far. I just think some of them also lean into coomer appeal a bit.
>>287124284>coomer appeal is when women are not wearing burqas
>>287123931It'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 JapanYou mean the one that has waifu figures of the girls with visible panties?
>>287112067Because 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.
>>287112431>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 MoonNo that is a parody because Usagi is the last person who should be lecturing anyone on being an upstanding, morally good person.
>>287124465Listen 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>bombarded with propaganda constantly to hate reproducing, sex, attraction, and have intense cute-aggressionSailor Moon doesn't do that
>>287125798Yeah, I realized halfway through you meant sailor moon.>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.No really, Usagi is a rotten person, but teenage girls are generally rotten.
>>287112067try not reading stuff that's the girl equivalent of beyblade
>>287117364only happens in episode 2 btw
>>287113668Are you sure?
>>287112067and 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.
