| The description/synopsis seems interesting enough, but the shounen tag bothers me somewhat. If you've read it, how's the manga? |
| The manga is really good. Interesting plot but whoever added the shounen tag is an idiot. |
Vudis said: The shounen tag doesn't mean jack shit. All it shows is that the magazine it is published in is targeted towards the shounen demographic. Tasogare is published in GGJ and it is shounen.Interesting plot but whoever added the shounen tag is an idiot. |

| nowadays nearly all manga/anime are labeled generically as either shounen/shoujou (boy/girl) (or the occasional seinen/josei, for the older demographics). It doesn't mean anything more than the fact that it's geared towards a more male or female demographic. I don't even pay attention to that label anymore, you'd be amazed by how many shoujo-esque plots become shounen anime with a dash of ecchi... =.= haha. |
A pinky-promise ain't something you take lightly -- Sakata Gintoki GINTAMA... I'LL BE WAITING FOR YOUR LEVELED-UP RETURN!!!! I'M WAITING FOR YOU... KINTAMA!!!!!?!! For the rest of you waiting with me... GO READ GINTAMA NOW!! (start at 372 where the anime left off) And everyone else, GO WATCH GINTAMA!! IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!!!! |
| Shounen is basically just a "main" tag. You need a sub tag to explain what "kind of shonen" it will be. All the series in Shonen Jump is a shonen eventhough it doesnt involve fighting or competing. It's just a tag |

| Yes shounen tag means it's gonna be shit for little kids but you won't watch it because you're mature and watch mature anime only. |

| From your 10s alone you could probably class Angel Beats Death Note Haruhi S;G Bakemonogatari as shounen. |
fuck everything and rumble |
The_Hriday said: Ah, I'm not looking for supremacy in maturity or anything. I just wanna make sure I'm not watching some Bleach/Naruto bullshit. Understandable. I just don't see how a shounen tag affects the quality of something. You'd be surprised at how many things have a shounen tag on this site, but are actually awesome anime. But, to be realistic, who really follows(or even believes) in the tags on this site? lol |

That wasn't my point -- I was implying that if you consider that a series like K-ON! is seinen, it makes judging an anime based on the target demographic of its manga seem silly. I just happened to use a seinen example instead of a shounen one. |
| most great manga and great art in general tend to transcend traditional categories in my experience - labels mean very little to me in general - a good story is a good story... |

| MC is 12, of course it's shonen. |

bastek66 said: MC is 12, of course it's shonen. The main characters in Boku No Pico are all adolescents. Does that make it a shounen show? |
| Remember, shounen is a demographic. This just means the target audience would be boys and teenage males. It does not, and is not supposed to mean anything about the content. A demographic label describes the target audience, but not the content. The confusion here seems to be coming from people who think shounen is a genre, when it is not. Shounen is not a genre, just like the way seinen, josei and shoujo are not genres either. Something being labeled shounen does not automatically mean it is a story filled with nothing but endless fighting and action, or other stereotypes regarding shounen as a (mistaken) "genre". |
