[ID: The first 3 images are edited versions of the "Let's take ibuprofen together" meme. The captions now say "Let's read shoujo together". They each show a person holding their hand out to the viewer; a character from the series Benigyokuzui, Mob from Mob Psycho 100, and Jerma. / end ID]

The Most Romantic Anime Scenes of 2023

The main reason for the decline of shoujo anime for me really is that girls/women will still consume shounen while boys/men will not consume shoujo as much, so for producers if you have to choose between a shoujo or a shounen you will go for the shounen because you know you will be able to get both audiences while with shoujo the audience will really be majorly female and you will be losing money from half your audience. And that is also why shounen these days incorporate a lot of shoujo tropes into their stories (ikemen, romcoms, etc.) but still do it in a way that is mostly targeted for boys (male protag, big boobs and heavy sexualization of female characters that is not as present in actual shoujo stories), they do it to make sure they will grab both audiences. That is not to say that seinen and shounen can't do great animes like these (just look at horimiya and skip to loafer), but it also means we get a lot of anime that is trying to do the same but in a very harmful and sexist way (just look at shows like rent-a-girlfriend and the millions of bad isekai that come out every season). So, shounen is stealing shoujo tropes and making them worse (most of the time), and we're eating that shit up simply because there is no actual shoujo coming out as often as it did before.

This is what siblings are for 🤣

i think one of my fave things about Kudo falling flat on his face in love with Miyo is that you could argue that he just wants Miyo cause she's quiet and obedient and would be so easy to control. but when you consider that all the people close to Kudo (Yurie, Godo, his sister Hazuki, even that clotheshop keeper) are not actually scared of him, and sass him on a regular basis, you realize that he has no desire to control others.

basically what I'm saying is it's just inevitable that one day Miyo will sass Kudo and he will be even more of a useless cringefail besotted husband about it
