“Working women” supply a ranking of the adult anime genres they want to see more of, starting what seems to be a demand to see more soppy heterosexual romances and fewer gay sex harems.
The ranking, based on a sample of “working women” (apparently exclusive of “fujoshi” or “female anime fan”):
1. “Realistic romance” – 24.1%
2. “History” – 15.2%
3. “Mystery” – 14%
4. “Portraying the life of a working woman” – 11.4%
5. “Human drama” – 8.2%
6. “Intelligent battles” – 5.7%
7. “Musical” – 5.1%
8. “Hobby or sports” – 4.1%
9. “Hard boiled” – 4.1%
10. “Social” – 3.5%
2ch has views, as ever:
“But won’t they just bash a realistic romance?”
“Hana Yori Dango? Do they think that is realistic?”
“If that’s real, so are Negima and Infinite Stratos…”
“Working women won’t pay for anime, will they? It’s to be expected that the moetards who pay up get priority.”
“Sengoku Otome is the coming thing?”
“Rather, Heugemono is.”
“Victorica-chan has 1-6 covered.”
“How about Rurouni Kenshin?”
“Ika-chan is no good?”
“A realistic romance would be more like School Days. Scary stuff.”
“How about this:
1. “Real romance” – 24.1% – 30-sai no Hoken Taiiku
2. “History” – 15.2% – Heugemono
3. “Mystery” – 14% – Gosick
4. “Portraying the life of a working woman” – 11.4% – Iroha
5. “Human drama” – 8.2% – Lotte
6. “Intelligent battles” – 5.7% – C
7. “Musical” – 5.1% – DD
8. “Hobby or sports” – 4.1% – Softenni
9. “Hard boiled” – 4.1% – Deadman
10. “Social” – 3.5% – Kaiji
Like that?”
“Oh!”
“Splendid.”
WHY DID NO ONE VOTE FOR YAOI T_________T ???? makes female student sad D;
Because it’s yaoi, not every girl is a sick minded fujoshi.
Realistic romance isn’t interesting. You know that one guy who never shuts up about he and his girlfriend were destined to be together or vice-versa? Is what he’s saying interesting? No. Realistic romances aren’t good for drama, and by extension, anime.
My mom likes space opera and science fiction of all kinds. Classic mostly SDF Macross, Galaxy Express 999, Cowboy Bebop.
Hmm the anime compare list was suprising accurate lol
Who cares what they think, they are women 😛
