Intended Audience in Anime/Manga

Discuss this idea in this thread!


In Japan, manga series run in magazines marketed towards adult men, adult women, boys, and girls. Many series marketed toward adult men (sienen) feature attractive girls/women living their lives and having adventures. Does the fact that the series are marketed toward older men limit your personal enjoyment? Do you pay attention to the classifications of Japanese marketers?

Suggested series for discussion: K-On!, Gunslinger Girls, Victorian Romance Emma, Azumanga Daioh/Yosuba&!, Puella Shoujo Magi Madoka
