Karneval
| I thought I understood Shonen/Seinen/Shoujo/Josei tags. Apparently not. Is Karneval really josei? It doesn't fit in with stuff like Nana and Usagi Drop. It seems way more like seinen to me. Maybe shounen. I thought that the demographic type of genre tag was about who the show mostly appeals to. So my question is multiple choice: a) Does Karneval actually mostly appeal to women? Because of the costumes and the pageantry, maybe? b) Does the tag mean that it was supposed to be for women (it was marketed at them or made for them) so therefore it's Josei, even though it actually is best suited primarily for a mature male audience? c) The "Josei" tag is wrong. {Can those be fixed?} d) None of the above. |
| The demographic tag refers to the magazine it was originally published in(the manga). In Karneval's case it's a magazine suited for young-adult women, just look at some of the other entries. The covers feature bishounen characters, often holding guns. https://myanimelist.net/manga/magazine/110/Comic_ZERO-SUM |

| Hey thanks AtmosphericEntry. That totally explains it. I read a MAL article about Josei anime before and that's basically where I got my understanding of the "genre". The demographic tag for the anime is based on the target demographic of the source material! OK. |
