Current music: As in previous post
Something makes me wonder...about the many different genres of anime/manga out there.
I don't know why I'm posting this myself (meh =_=) it's not that I'm an anime/manga freak (I can still control myself) but probably I'm posting this just to...y'know, post something xD
Anyway, these are the genres that make me wonder...
a) Shounen (少年) - Ah..typical shounen involves action like Dragonball, Naruto, Bleach...you get what I mean...Not my type though...it's like one enemy comes and goes then another comes again...oh well...

b) Shoujo (少女) - Hahaha xD Shoujo involves lots of romance, and lovey-dovey situations, usually for young girls (hence the genre "shoujo" which means young girls)
For me it depends...I don't like those typical ditsy + brainless girls and those who go all lovey-dovey and mushy =_=" Examples of shoujo would be Fruits Basket and Ouran High school Host Club.

c) Seinen (青年) - Aimed at older guys...so I guess you know what I mean. But there are many types of seinen...like romance (more to the adult side), action, life, horror...whatever...examples include Death Note, Emma, Bitter Virgin..etc...

d) Josei (女性) - Usually for older women. They tend to be about everyday life and stuff. There can be some romance and even homosexual scenes too (eep! O_o;;). Examples of josei are Honey and Clover, Paradise Kiss, Nana.

e) Yaoi (やおい) - Uh oh...definitely not my type. Yaoi focuses on homosexual male relationships...mostly sexually (shounen-ai "boy-love" is more mild. not sexually explicit) For some reason yaoi/shounen-ai seems to be very popular among girls *swt*
Oh well, not me...Some yaoi include Okane ga nai, Desire.

f) Yuri (百合) - I suppose you would know by now...lesbian relationships @_@ (the milder version is shoujo-ai) Not my type either. Examples include Strawberry Panic!, Noir.

I guess I rambled too much, eh? *Deep breath* now my tension is relieved...haaahh...
Well, of course there are many MANY more genres but I guess I'll focus only on these six. By the way I feel worse today than I did yesterday =.= what kind of medicine did they give me...
Later~
