Anime or manga is mainly classified into five types based on the target audience. These 5 main demographic categories further include a number of genres and subgenres, which we’ll talk about below. First of all, let’s talk about the main types of anime.
Kodomuke Shōnen : The first anime type is Kodomuke and all types of anime and manga that fall into this category are intentionally made for children under the age of 12. We have already seen some of these anime in our childhood, without knowing that it was an anime at that time in life. These are designed in a way to teach the young audience about the values and ethics of life to become a good person in life. Some of the popular Kodomuke anime and manga are as follows: Pokemon series,
Doraemon, Digimon Adventures, Beyblade series, Yo-Kai Watch
Shōnen Shōjo : “The most popular” “shōnen” “word in all five types of anime is a once-in-a-lifetime word, even if you’re not into anime.” The literal meaning of shonen is boy. This type of anime is generally targeted towards teenage boys (ages 12-18), but even teenage girls love to watch them. Shonen anime or manga has a central male protagonist (female in rare cases) and includes a mix of different genres such as adventure, action, drama, sci-fi, and more. It involves an adventure story revolving around the protagonist, who aims to achieve his goals with exciting battles. Moreover, he is often seen preaching the value of friendship and family. Some of the most popular Shonen anime are listed here: Naruto Series,One Piece, Bleach, Dragon Ball series, Hunter x Hunter
Shōjo : The word shojo translates to young girls and just like shonen is made for young boys, shojo is made for young female audiences. Shoujo explores the feminine side of anime or manga which basically includes genres like romance and drama. Unlike Shonen, Shoujo has a woman in the lead role and the story revolves around her life. Subgenres of the shoujo anime genre also include yaoi and yuri. Shoujo is one of the best genres not only for young women, but also for those who watch all kinds of anime. Some of the most popular shoujo anime and manga are listed here: jo/Shoujo (少女)
, Fruits Basket, Sailor Moon, Violet Evergarden, Banana Fish, Kaichou wa Maid-sama!
Seinen : Seinen literally means “youth,” and anime and manga in this category are aimed at adult men. Its viewers are mainly men but are also liked by women. Seinen includes all the elements of a typical shōnen anime, but having no theme or story restrictions takes it to the next step. Since there are no restrictions here, seinen anime includes mature themes, therefore, 18 years and older are required. Seinen also includes a wide variety of mature genres such as psychological, gore, violence, action, erotic, etc., which is preferable for adult audiences. Some of the best seinen anime are: Berserk
,Vagabond,Vinland Saga, Monster, Kaguya-sama: Love is War – Ultra Romantic
Josei: Josie refers to the word “woman or woman” and is the equivalent of seinen for women. Thus, Josie is for adult women 18 years of age and older. Josie is the better version of Shoujo and depicts the realistic lives of women, including their relationships, challenges, and more. Like Shoujo, Josie also incorporates LGBTQ + storylines such as the yaoi and yuri subgenres. Some of the most popular josei anime are listed below: Josei (女性), Descending Stories: Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju, Usagi Drop, Princess Jellyfish, Chihayafuru Series, Kids on the Slope.
