Do you have a problem watching girly anime?

If by a problem you mean I am utterly bored/feel no need to watch them, then yes I guess I do, not that I went out of my way to find one I might like even just a bit. But then there is the matter of defining what is "girly". Either way, I didn't watch any anime in a long while be they girly or not. Nothing catches my eye any more without my obsessed friend who used to tell me which new series I might wanna look into.
Aww...I'm assuming that hatred includes Gurren Lagann, but no Full Metal Alchemist, Rurouni Kenshin, or Slayers either?Durxom said:
Ok, I guess I can stand some shonen, the main ones being Black Cat and Shaman King, but most others..I dunno, I just can't stand them, I'm more of a Seinen person; shows like Hellsing, Samurai Champloo, and the Gundams(which I think kind of borders the line).NeutralDrow said:
I'll watch/read shojo/yaoi, some of the best stories I've seen in anime come from shojo(I loved Absolute Boyfriend)..I just have a general distaste for Shonen or series that go over the 30 episode breaking point(excluding the Gundams).
I don't think those qualify as "girly" I think he's taking about stuff like thisSacman said:

Trust me these are girly...And yet I still watch one of them
P.S. I love Lucky Star too but I've never seen Azumanga is it anything like LS?
I believe he means shoujo manga and anime, not yaoi. Things like Ouran, The Wallflower, Skip Beat, Boys over Flowers, The One, etc.JaredXE said:
And I have no problem with Shoujo manga and anime. I have equal amounts of Shounen manga and anime that I read and watch.
I have no problem watching "girly" anime. According to my definition of girly I have watched
The Meloncholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
Lucky Star
Arakawa Under the Bridge
There is just something about those shows that *cough* interest me and my manly self lol.
Now excuse me while I go hunting or lifting weights or something

Lol, sure, why not. Though I don't take normal brofists for an answer..NeutralDrow said:
But back on topic, have you tried reading a manga called Demon Diary? It's pretty well done, it's korean made, it's short, and kind of borders on being yaoi and not. If you haven't, try looking it up.
I used to watch the Ouran Host Club show thing. I did enjoy the show for some reason that I could never discover, but I was ashamed to watch it. If my dad ever came into the room I felt the need to change the channel. Hell, if I got a phone call I'd mute the television so the person I'm talking to couldn't hear it.
Those classifications can die in a fire. They're sexist, stereotypical, and useless as there's no polls that measure what percentage of the audience is which sex/age group. At best it's an incredibly subjective, overly simplified guess that completely ignores the fact that most shows are going to try and hit multiple demographics in order to make a lot of money. I've seen Strawberry Panic and ARIA be referred to as shojo, josei, seinen, and shonen on various occasions. When a single show gets thrown into 4 different supposedly mutually exclusive categories you know there's a damn problem.Cheveyo said:
Same here man. I had to turn the television off during the opening and ending just because I felt super fruity with it playing.Axzarious said:
