Reminder the rise of /v/edditors coming over to /tv/ as a result of Bane memes has led to a shift in taste on /tv/

99% of the anime threads here are made by /v/edditors who only watch LE EPIC MANIME shonen trash and are too scared to post on /a/ because no one wants to talk about the same 5 old classic anime that only entry level newfaggots know about. Then they cry about /a/ having shit taste and proceed to buy their next avengers movie ticket.

/a/ has actually done a fantastic job at keeping out you /v/eddit scum and so all you faggots come crying here because no one wanted to accommodate your newfaggotry.

Also you all treat /tv/ as a place to ask for recommendations when >>>/wsr/ was made to deal with garbage threads like these that aren't actually discussing anything. This thread should be deleted but since /tv/ mods are garbage it won't be.

So when you say you've been watching kino anime you mean you've been watching Dragon Ball and Naruto and similar shows.

They do though. There are tons of anime which just consist of moeblobs being silly and random.

They are both. They are genres generally targeted towards young males. I say again, what series can I find of truly good anime? I'm sick of all the seinen I've been watching, I want maybe a good psychological thriller or character based drama.

>>81000862
If moeblobs are not a thing then what is K-On? If Seinen and Shonen are not genres then why are they listed as genres in every anime source?

"Shonen-a genre of Japanese comics and animated films aimed primarily at a young male audience, typically characterized by action-filled plots." Shonen and Seinen have unique tropes that make them genres. Most people in the anime community would disagree with you about them not being genres. What constitutes a genre of anime to you then? And what genres would you recommend?

imagine the pleb taste of everyone actually watching anime. They are probably the ones shitting up the board with memes because they can't discuss anything aimed at adults

>>81001082
Better than discussing capeshit and fanboying over the equally shitty Marvel and DC

>>81001040
>If moeblobs are not a thing then what is K-On?
How does the existence of K-On prove the existence of moeblobs?

>If Seinen and Shonen are not genres then why are they listed as genres in every anime source?
If someone lists them as genres then it means they don't know what they're talking about. They are not genres. They are demographics.

>Shonen and Seinen have unique tropes that make them genres.
How are K-On, Drifters, Initial D, Uzumaki and Thermae Romae in the same genre?

>>81001082
Most anime is made for adult/late teens viewers. The fact that you don't like something doesn't mean it isn't aimed at adults.

>>81001082
Imagine the pleb taste of those who reject an entire medium based on a superficial understanding of it.

>>81001128
>How does the existence of K-On prove the existence of moeblobs?
Because the characters look like blobs and are designed to be cute. "Moe" is basically slang for cute girls.
>If someone lists them as genres then it means they don't know what they're talking about. They are not genres. They are demographics.
So I suppose you are the authority on this matter then? Official anime sites like Crunchyrole and official anime studios that both view shonen as a genre just must not know what they are talking about. I repeat- what the fuck is a genre to you then?
>How are K-On, Drifters, Initial D, Uzumaki and Thermae Romae in the same genre?
Are they? I don't know, I haven't seen them all. I didn't think K-On was a shonen or seinen- did I ever say it was? But you do realize a show can have multiple genres right?

Dragon Ball, Naruto, Hunter x Hunter, Fullmetal Alchemist- they are all of the Shonen genre not just because they have a young male demographic, but because they all contain the elements of action, getting stronger and having young male protagonists.

It's up there as far as anime goes, but as it usually turns out in these threads it's not for most people. Monster is certainly the kind of show that would basically never again be made today, just like LoGH. Yeah, I know latter is getting a reboot/remake/whatever but it's probably not going to be anything like the OVA series.

They don't look like blobs, and even if they did people will call anything a moeblob.

Wait, so all of those anime you listed are in the same genre? I thought you were asking me how that was the case? Enlighten me then, what genre are K-On, Drifters, Initial D, Uzumaki and Thermae Romae all a part of?

>Tell me more about how K-On and Drifters are the same thing.
Literally when did I say that? You are putting words in my mouth, I haven't even watched Drifters. You just said they shared a genre but they are not the same- which I AGREE with btw, I'm not saying that anime that happen to share one genre are even similar.

Shows do tend to have a primary genre though, and when this is the case they do share certain tropes.

>What about Nisekoi, Slam Dunk, Kyoukai no Rinne, Cutie Honey, Cross Game, Mirai Nikki, Lucky Star etc.?
Mate, I haven't seen any of those, I don't know what point you are trying to make by listing them as I don't even know what they are.

Please just stop listing anime and tell me what YOU define as genre and why YOU think shonen is not a genre. Listing anime I haven't seen is not helpful in the least.

>>81001855
>Wait, so all of those anime you listed are in the same genre
No. Their manga were all published in seinen magazines.

>Enlighten me then, what genre are K-On, Drifters, Initial D, Uzumaki and Thermae Romae all a part of?
They aren't the same genre. That's the whole point. Seinen is not a genre.

>Literally when did I say that?
You said seinen is a genre. They are both seinen manga.

>Mate, I haven't seen any of those, I don't know what point you are trying to make by listing them as I don't even know what they are.
You said shounen is a genre. Do these seem like they're in the same genre:

Because it isn't. It's a target demographic for manga magazines. A shounen manga can be any genre.

>>81002072
>How are K-On, Drifters, Initial D, Uzumaki and Thermae Romae in the same genre?
>Are they?

>Wait, so all of those anime you listed are in the same genre?

Do you see why that little exchange was confusing? Look, I'm not saying that all these anime you are listing are similar, or even shonen. Just because a shonen magazine publishes them does not mean they are shonen of genre.

This vid kind of explains what I define a shonen to be. This is actually quite contentious in the anime community. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8Qs2W4LvrU

Words can change and have multiple definitions. Shonen has come to be seen as a genre by many anime fans as a genre these days- OR at least a subgenre. To me, even shonen without fighting can exist, as long as they contain the tropes of a young protag bettering himself through training and experience.

We are just gonna have to disagree on this.

>>81002264
When I replied to "are they" I meant to say they are all seinen manga.

>Look, I'm not saying that all these anime you are listing are similar, or even shonen.
They are all shounen (or seinen, whichever you meant). They ran in shounen magazines.

>Just because a shonen magazine publishes them does not mean they are shonen of genre.
The fact that they are published by a shounen magazine is what makes them shounen.

>This is actually quite contentious in the anime community.
Among people who don't know what shounen is. It's a target demographic for manga magazines. That's all it is.

>We are just gonna have to disagree on this.
This isn't a matter of opinion. Shounen is not a genre.

I loved Monster
Eva Heinemann is the most realistic woman in anime
I thought Tenma would end up with that black-market asian doctor lady that they introduced, but oh well

I hope the HBO version (if it ever happens) is streamlined a bit, and it can have more focus on Lunge
The only time I got annoyed was when Tenma gets the chance to shoot Johan in the burning library and he doesn't because Anna/Nina is there and she also wants to shoot him. Like just both shoot him fuck sake

>>81002424
This and the ending annoyed the fuck out of me. Everything gets solved out of Tenma's action. I get the message and all but it's annoying when the MC who spent 20 volumes trying to kill that asshole gets to see him rekt by his own doing. Unsatisfying

>>81002342
So do seinen magazines exist too? What if an anime is marketed towards young boys but isn't published in a shonen magazine? Can it still be considered shonen or seinen?

Anyway, the meaning of genre is "a style or category of art, music, or literature."

"Anime targeted towards a young male audience" seems like a category of art to me. Regardless of if it is marketed in some magazine, surely something can still be shonen? If it is targeted at young males, it is shonen, no?

>>81002609
If you don't even know that seinen magazines exist I can only wonder why you are even trying to have this argument.

>What if an anime is marketed towards young boys but isn't published in a shonen magazine? Can it still be considered shonen or seinen?
Seinen is adult men and late teens, and shounen extends from childhood to late teens. An original anime aimed aimed at young boys could be called shounen, but it would not be seinen. That's assuming it actually is aimed at young boys and you aren't just interpreting it that way.

>Anyway, the meaning of genre is "a style or category of art, music, or literature."
Unless you're using some special definition, genre means story genre in this case. Comedy is a genre, shounen is not.

>>81002772
>An original anime aimed aimed at young boys could be called shounen, but it would not be seinen. That's assuming it actually is aimed at young boys and you aren't just interpreting it that way.

Ok, so you do admit that a shonen even if not in a shonen mag can still be shonen if the target audience is young boys. I concede though that any anime in a shonen mag is intended for boys and therefore is shonen even if it does not have typical shonen tropes. I think this even shows that the meaning of the word has evolved slightly from "an anime/ manga published in a shonen magazine for young boys" to "an anime/ manga intended to appeal/ marketed for young boys

But in a colloquial terms at least, shonen could be considered a subgenre due to the tropes included in many of them that make them appealing to young boys, even if it isn't "officially" considered a genre.

>>81002869
Shounen means boy. A shounen magazine is aimed at boys. Something that runs in a shounen magazine is by definition shounen. This is all shounen means.

Some magazines are both shounen and seinen. A manga can move from shounen to seinen. A shounen manga can be any genre.

I have no idea why people insist on trying to make this more complicated than it is.

>>81002952
>Something that runs in a shounen magazine is by definition shounen.
I already conceded that point, I agree. But surely even if an anime is not in a shonen mag, if it is targeted towards and appeals to boys, it can still be a shonen, right? If it is in a shonen mag I agree it is shonen as the target is boys, but not all shonen anime will necessarily get promoted in magazines, but they may still be intended for boys.

>>81003029
>if it is targeted towards and appeals to boys, it can still be a shonen, right?
It's technically the same thing, but it wouldn't be called that. Shounen/seinen/shoujo/josei are only used for manga.

Hunter x Hunter is kino and I'm not even joking. It's fucking great.
