Do you have a problem watching girly anime?

[Zorpheus]

I've seen a few of these shows - Sailor Moon, Fushigi Yuugi, Weiss Kreuz, Ayashi no Ceres, Escaflowne, Ultramaniac, Sasami Magical Girls Club, to name a few - and they can be every bit as interesting as any other anime. I do agree with Cheveyo, though, that the girls frequently decide to go after the 'wrong choice', I would say, the abusive, cold, passionless one, rather than anyone who could give them a healthy relationship. But then, this is a common theme in real life, too. I guess Japan decides they want to indoctrinate their girls to this type of thinking at a younger age.

Why not? Life's too short to worry about trivial crap like if an anime is too "girly" or whatever, just watch what you want.

 

[Betancore]

I don't like to admit it for fear that people won't take me seriously, but I don't have much of a problem actually watching it. Just don't like to talk about it, but I actually quite enjoy anime that's targeted towards females. Probably because I am one, and the 'targeting' works.

no I mean my guilty pleasure show is Lucky Star...

dude you made me start watching the first ep....and im likeing it....im getting incredible enlightenment on how to eat pastries

edit* OH SHIT, DATEING SIMS AND EROTIC GAMES....damn.

edit* wait....de she just call clumsyness sexy?.....this anime is weird...and awsome.

edit* aye....its....talking...educated discussions about the flu....enlightenment and a girl slamed her head into a box......dude.....WHATS GOING ON.

edit* OH SHIT DUDE.....FUCKEN TEMPRAL PARADOX.....THEYR TALKING ABOUT ANIME...IN AN ANIME.

edit* gulie from street fighter......back to the steak and pastries.

edit* oh..shit...lucky channal, girl yelling at me...hi...um...WTF IS HAPPENING.
oh it calmed down....her voice changed.....scratching her boob unaturally loud....back to the other voice......credits rolling over the girls singing kareoke.....ep over......that was...interesting.

I know that's why I like it. it's like the Seinfeld of anime... a show about nothing...

If that's a veiled way of saying it's a load of...well, the less said on that the better. Still kudos, I'm saddened though by all those proclaiming it as something wonderful, and while rarely disliking anything, I still find Lucky Star a vapid piece of excrement devoid of any charm and overly focused on inane chatter and pop culture references.

And this is odd, since I -loved- Azumanga Daioh, have the entire series on DVD, and then to be told, hey, if you liked Azumanga Daioh, you're going to love this! And while, admittedly the theme song for LS was catchy, it went downhill faster than a lead lined coffin on urine soaked rail-road tracks.

or there's the Westernised versions

 

[Denamic]

I watched all of Lucky Star a few years ago.
Yes. ALL OF IT.

And why not?
It's a magnificent anime.
There's a complete and utter lack of storyline, but still manages to keep you watching.
It's a work of art.

 

[gamepopper101]

Nonsense, I watch Ouran High School Host Club and despite the manservice, it's one of my favourite anime series.

 

[W8NKA]

Getting hard off aniema, thats a bit odd, they arnt even real. watch real hot real chicks, much more fun (Its a pun)

 

[MercurySteam]

Honestly. it does get to me sometimes. And it was pretty uncomfortable for me to watch all those Caremelldansen AMV's, but I got through it. I did watch the first season of Zero no Tsukaima. It wasn't easy, but it did make me laugh.

 

[Kurokami]

Now Im normally a manly guy. I cant stand watching chick flicks or soaps, but for some reason I dont mind watching anime that is a little on the feminine side. For example im watching one called Toradora. The little girl is soooo cute!!! ..... cough ... I mean shes SEXY!!!! Ok you see what Im mean lol.
So tell me, do you enjoy girly anime?

I watch Ouran High School Host Club, I love it.

 

[Angerwing]

I'd rather have brain damage than be a fan of anime in general, but I am partial to shows like Buffy, which is about the extent of my girliness.

 

[VanQ]

]You mean like K-ON!?

Then absolutely not. I love K-ON!

K-ON! is epic, and so is your avatar btw, I may be inclined to steal it.

OT: I have absolutely no issues with "girly" anime, Toradora is one of my all time favorites as well as many other similar anime. Its the ecchi stuff that gets to me, when a girls breasts are bigger than her head twice over, I can't help but turn away in shame.

Wait, hold on a second... Toradora isn't exaclty what I would call "girly" anime, as it is actually labeled as Shonen. You labelling it girly just because it's a romantic comedy or something? D:

On topic: well, sortof. As "girly" anime I'd say Vampire Knight (just an example) and other animes labelled as Shojo might be something you do not want to speak in public about. Hell, you might even want to hide it and keep it a secret or call it a guilty pleasure. Personally though, I'd stick to romantic comedies, y'know, the sort like School Days [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SchmuckBait], and of course my all time favourite, Clannad ^_^

 

[Shemming]

I have never a 'girly' anime, it just somthing ive never done am i missing much?

I think a lot of the kids posting here believe anything with more than 1 female in it is classified as "girly".

K-ON, for example. All girl cast has to be girly right?

Yeah, that's just wrong. K-ON! was really good and I enjoyed it thoroughly (haven't seen K-ON!! yet though), and was recommended by a male friend of mine, and he said he liked it because of the accurate instruments and playing, but thought it was ok if I didn't watch it because it was "girly". It's proper annoying when people say something is girly just because of the characters... We should make a resistance group!

 

[Kwaren]

I watched Azumanga Daioh now I am working on a collection of these.

Spoiler: Not Mine but I'm working on a set.

 

[MagicMouse]

Toradora is about as far as I go. But I am new to the genre.
