>The Odagiri effect is a television phenomenon in which a program attracts a larger than expected number of female viewers because the program stars attractive male actors or characters. It is named after the Japanese actor Joe Odagiri, who starred in the 2000 tokusatsu show Kamen Rider Kuuga.Have you ever watched a movie or show outside your comfort zone because of a certain actor?
He was cast in everything for a while, speaks English from partly growing up in...washington?

>>201766759That sounds really fake and gay. Tokusatsu shows casting attractive men because it attracts female viewers was something known way before 2000. It's the same principle as giving Doctor Who an attractive companion.
>>201766759Wasn't Supernatural aimed at adult male audiences but pivoted when they discovered only femcels were watching it?
>>201766895I used to watch Supernatural, and I'm a guy. It didn't feel like a show for women at all. Firstly, it's about two brothers, and they're fighting monsters. If women watched, it was just because the men were handsome.

>>201767096weebs think jap tv stars are relevant globally for some reason.
>>20176675911th Doctor in Doctor Who
>>201767096its the same as "people" thinking "author/audience-self-insert from the present transported to the past btfos everyone" was invented by nips and called isekai
>>201766935I think it was turned into some gay romcom later on
>>201768239If that's true, then it was done to appeal to women. They must have realised it was mostly women watching. I wanted to see brotherhood, and fighting evil. It was like a live action Fullmetal Alchemist.
