The only title there that really surprises me is Oreimo, and also Haganai to some extent.

Ahahah...what grade schooler knows Ouran? Haganai?

I would love to know the age average of such "grade schoolers".

Ouran seems reasonable to me, I know that I was 11 or 12 when I first watched it, which is the upper edge of grade school in Japan (1st to 6th grade US). Attack on Titan also isn't that surprising to me, it is violent, but still mainstream. The more otaku oriented shows like Haganai and Oreimo are definitely surprising.

One Pieces main demographics are 19-29 year olds.

For all the series you listed, the problem is that they are all super long series that aren't easy for youngsters to get into... if someone got into One Piece when they were 13 years old in 99, they'd be 28 now.

Attack on Titan is a shonen show, so uh.. yeah. Not surprising. Levi even made the top characters ranking in a popular kids anime magazine:

>Haganai
>Attack on Titan

Aren't these all late night series? Bad grade school kids staying up to ungodly hours of the morning to watch adult shows!

*thinks back to staying up to watch the South Park movie*

Never mind, not one to talk.

Your are so VERY RIGHT indeed. It was the temporary "shock" that made me forget so very "little" details Smile You are right about it.

Not surprised at some the the anime these kids Know, I mean, you can bet all your patrimony most of them if not all already watch porn, play eroge, etc.

It surprised that it made the list since I think that anime is more directed to adult male audience but I could be wrong
