| bump* I got confused when I saw the series listed as Shounen, because Shounen has never appealed to me. I love this anime, so it can't be Shounen. :S |

topunuzunamk said: Yeah, sure. Keep telling that. OPM must be the same seeing you rated it a 9, lol. OPM is Seinen. Your trolling is a failure. :/ |
topunuzunamk said: " Viz Media has licensed the remake for English serialization in its Weekly Shonen Jump digital magazine" OPM is originally a web comic not a manga anyway, which you obviously don't know. Haha, you are such a butthurt little child. Welcome to my ignore-list. :) |

You do know that Shonen is a really broad demographic, right? 8 to 18 years old to be exact. And Koe No Katachi is clearly aimed at teenagers therefore falling into the shonen demographic. Plus, it's manga is published in a Shonen magazine. |

| Since we're talking about the anime, it's neither because it's an original anime, while seinen/shounen are manga demographics. |

The manga might be Shonen, but I don't see why adults would find the anime less appealing than teens. I also can't see how the filmmakers have tried to appeal to teens rather than to as many people as possible regardless of age. Kimi no Na wa is not a Shounen either, and to me they are very similar in that way. How do they differ to make one Shounen and the other one not? |

Because the anime is an adaptation of the manga and follows the same story, same characters and targets the same audience that the manga does. It's logical. Plus, no matter how you look at it, it's clear that depressed teens were the demographic. Kimi No Na Wa is not similar to Koe No Katachi at all... And it's demographic is PG 13+ Though it's unclear whether it's shonen or not, as shonen is a demographic aimed at boys. |

The anime Kiba is a shounen yet it's clearly an anime original. They're not exclusively manga demographics. Just easier to pinpoint if they're manga, cause they publish in their respective magazines that are already aimed at that certain demographic while anime originals, you don't know whether they're aimed at a shoujo/josei or a shonen/seinen demographic until the producers outright say it. Or when it's way too obvious. |

SigmaticDoc said: Because the anime is an adaptation of the manga and follows the same story, same characters and targets the same audience that the manga does. It's logical. It's still an adaptation with qualities and purposes of its own. It would not have the masterful quality that is has if it only aimed to appease teens, as they would not be needed. The film has a score of 92% on RottenTomatoes, pretty much proving that the worlds adult film critics do not like it any less than the random teens of the world do. SigmaticDoc said: Plus, no matter how you look at it, it's clear that depressed teens were the demographic. That's like saying Helling Ultimate have powerful vampires as a demographic. Being about something and having something as a demographic is very different. SigmaticDoc said: Kimi No Na Wa is not similar to Koe No Katachi at all...

Both have a PG-13 rating... |
