in my school theres more girl fans i think. but the problem is that theres more manga/anime made for guys than the ones made for girls.
some manga ment for guys(shounen) would be good for girls but theres alot that a girl would never like. so maby guys just have a bigger selection than girls if they want to try out a manga or anime? but then again some people dont pay much attention to shounen/shoujo my brothers used to like sailor moon when they were younger, i dont think they knew that most sailor moon fans were girls lol i fall into the girls 14- catigory so my percentige is pretty high! |

I'm actually not too surprised that the difference is so small. I typically assume that there are more male fans in general, but at my school, there really seems to be more female anime/manga fans. At least, many of the male anime fans seem to usually only like one or two anime, whereas female fans are more likely to have a large manga collection, and are more likely to search out other anime that they'd enjoy. Male fans may a few series, but seem like they're less likely to become longtime fans after they get bored with the series they currently like. Also, they seem less likely to go to things like Anime Cons, and probably less likely to call themselves anime fans. Of course, this is just some vague assumptions on my part based on the few male anime fans that I actually know, as well as the schools Anime Club, which I've only gone to twice this year...
Lol...My younger brother didn't really watch Sailor Moon, but he did try to dress up as Tuxedo Mask a lot, and wanted a Tuxedo Mask doll. He probably would've been a Sailor Moon fan if I'd let him watch my videos... |

Well yeah at first i was like under the belief that guys mainly watch anime, but i alaways knew that girls watch anime, but when i came to Singapore, its like every chick is hooked onto anime. Like you go to anime shops and manga stores and there are always an equal if not more amount of chicks there. Also so far i have only seen chciks flipping through manga on mrt/subways and buses.
Belive it, chicks do dick anime, its just about exposure and the thing every one is doing. |

Couldn't one easily say the above in reverse? To wit:
I'm not sure either is more accurate as a generalization, though. It's pretty hard to find guys who actually like romance stories or girls that actually like DBZ-style shounen material (Naruto doesn't count, it's got bishounen, so they don't have to mainly enjoy all the action to like watching it).
That gave me the idea for a thread. Here it is. P.S.: Am I the only one who thinks a sentence in the post above me sounds really wrong with that typo? |

Hmm.. I could be wrong... but maybe someone should do a small summary of titles that's been released and see the frequency of types of titles over a period of time Hmm.. that'd be interesting.. I think I might do that.. |

I'm a Gal and i know plenty of other ladies out there who LoVE anime, so i think the numbers are pretty much even and it really depends where you look. Some places appear to have more males, other places like an anime club i once belonged to had more females, and my friends anime club were its pretty much even!

I think it's safe to say that if girls start a club, it's more likely to attract girl fans. It is usually awkward for a guy to join an all-girls club.
The same goes for clubs started by guys mostly attracting guys. I guess that's why your experiences differ as to what gender is most into anime. |

there are alote more girl-fans out there than most people think. but the ones i know only watch and read shojo. in my case it falls into the category of girls will read guy stories but guys will not read girl stories. i personally like some of the shounen better than most shojo.
