What exactly is seinen style?

I looked it up and the definition confused me.
More mature shonen. Basically how Shonen (naruto, Bleach etc...) is targeted towards males and younger boys so it is usually a bit more whacky or upbeat... Seinen is for older males so it takes shonen style and cleans it into something more mature... if that makes any sense. :ph43r:
To simplify... If Shonen means "Manga/anime for boys" seinen would mean "manga/anime for men". Same with Shojo to Josei to females.

Ah, that explains it.


Well, after being exposed to so much immaturity, I think reading something more mature and realistic would do me well. As long as there's one likable character, it shouldn't hurt to try. :ph43r:

It's only up to 7 episodes so far so I'd say go for it.

It's easily my favorite anime running right now and one of the main characters has already been crawling his way into my favorites list so (if that wasn't obvious enough already)... I have nothing but good word about it. :ph43r: It is definitely not Fangirl fodder by any means though... infact I find it hard seeing how any fangirl types sit through it's style without their loved fluffy hyper fun time. Seems like they would find it boring.

Just started reading it (if I like the manga enough, I'll try the anime as well).

So far it kind of has a 1984-ish vibe, but less dull.

Have only read the manga and kept up with the anime so far but it is originally from Novels. Part of me wants to read them now but then part of me wants to wait until the anime is either done or farther depending on how long it ends up. It's kind of refreshing not knowing everything that is going to happen while watching something for a change. :ph43r:

That's one advantage of watching an anime before reading its manga.

Entire time I was watching PH, aside from the usual changes anime adaptations make, I knew exactly what was going to happen.

@Zaki- You really should. :kurokan: The relationship isn't even all that pushed. It just gets blown into something more in your face by fandom because the series otherwise seems much more male targeted so it throws people off. :kurokan: If you can handle Grell and the sort of slash in Kuro it would really just be almost sad if you couldn't handle what's in no. 6.
But Grell is a girl so it's allright :innocent:
lolno slash and gay pairings really don't bother me at all. I'm just too hipster to like the big thing at the moment.

:ph43r: Never really mind it at all since I still am big enough on Seiyuu and animation in general that it still is enough to see the adaption even if I know the whole story already.
Tis' refreshing and scary with a Bones anime though so it feels neat. :innocent:

@Zaki- :innocent: Been an anime fan far too long to let popularity keel me. Really if you aren't bothered by that sort of thing I really don't think you would have any problem at all. It's really not even dibe in a slash or fanservice like style. :yes:

That reminds me...I need an independent reading novel for my English class. I don't want to take a book I've already read, though.

It's not even popularity really, more just seeing something I'm into EVERYWHERE can start to kill it for me. :kurokan:
I'll wait for it to go a little farther. :innocent:

Popularity doesn't bother me so much as someone starting to read/watch/do something just because *everyone else does it*.

And even if they hate it, they pretend to like it just because everyone else does. :hmph:

@Zaki- :rolleyes: With the way it is written I'd pretty much be convinced that if you did start seeing it that way you forced yourself too. :innocent: I know Zaki's better then that though.
Shipping it is no problem though. :whistle:

I will say that I like the manga so far; it has an aspect I can't really explain that's just enjoyable. :whistle:
