When the colloquial meaning is not only nebulous but outright WRONG, yes, it is improper, doubly so.

Rose of Versailles is the greatest anime of all time andmy jap teacher agrees.
>>143088121
Nah, it's not really shoujo.
It has flowers and shit, and some romance plots, but it's generally seinen.
>>143092769
You have no idea what shoujo or seinen mean.
Lurk more.
>>143091418
Is anyone ever going to translate Orpheus?
>>143093574
It's at least partially translated.
>>143088837
I finally caught up with Watashi ga Motete and I hate that I like it.
Best boy or best girl won't win though.
>>143092741
I liked the anime more, the manga became tiring around the end whereevery men tried to romance or even rape Oscar.
Antoinette was the most interesting character.
What happened to the ROV omnibus which was supposed to be coming out in English anyway? I'd love to own it.
Are there any good charts for Shoujo anime and manga?
I find it hilarious how pic related was the trope setter for pure shoujo heroine and villainous shoujo antagonist even though the original book is not that straightforward at all.
The translation then adaptation is to blame, since they don't really capture the essence of the original. And the Japs who can read English agree, according to the Japanese reviews of the English book on Amazon.
Sara is up there with Shuurei as this scary serious and tough heroine. She's nowhere near the supposed saint-like perfect girl some folks think she is.
>>143094130
Never read the manga but I hear it's more antoinettes story whereas the anime is oscars story.
>>143094130
>>143095796
Obviously. She's the goddamn historical character, and Oscar is just an OC.

Been reading Spicy Pink because I'm a sucker for Yoshizumi Wataru. No one's ever gonna pick marmalade boy little back up, damnit. Also rewatching Natsume Yuujinchou. The comfiest of shows.
I need more cute & funny shoujo series. Also, why are shoujo scanlation groups almost all unbelievably shit?
>>143101071
Because it's not very big compared to the shounen base. Some of the shoujo I really want scanlated have been on hiatus for months or even years.
>>143101019
Yes, Seishun Otome Banchou.
>>143096552
that looks fucking brutal, I love it
>>143088054
Agree, Fruits Basket is great.
>>143103594
I liked furuba when I was younger, but I get the feeling if I revisited it I wouldn't feel the same.
Which is a shame because when I was reading it the last volume wasn't out/scanlated yet.

I'm at Episode 2 and the drama is already in full fucking swing with actual physical violence and what looks like an illuminati lesbian rape society; and everyone seems to be borderline psychotic.

The only bad thing is Mariko getting healed of her male hatred by one of the bishounen. Her male hatred made her hardcore.
>>143096552
I love it so much. Do you have a good download to point me to? I haven't watched that shit since I had fansubs of it on VHS.
>>143104076
Try google.
>>143104098
Yeah that was my next step, but I figured if someone here had a solid recommendation I would rather take that than whatever first result google gives me.

>shoujo in the genre sense
There is no "shoujo in the genre sense."
>>143104320
Yes there fucking is. To the point where it's been parodied for decades
>>143104388
No, there fucking isn't, and having parodies doesn't make it a genre. You might mean "is it stereotypical?" or "does it fit these preconceptions I have?" but "is it part of the shoujo genre?" makes no sense. Just like Dragonball Z and co. being parodied doesn't make battle shounen the "shounen genre".
There isn't NEARLY enough porn of shoujo romance girls.
Why isn't there a doujin where Lady Oscar grows male genitals and has her dick sounded until she's mindbroken?
>>143104180
She's the shittiest friend. When the black haired girl made her think that the MC didn't like her, or whatever it was, she just took it instead of asking her suposed best friend first.
>>143104388
I don't think you know what a genre is.
Why is Maya/Ayumi so superior to Maya/PurpleRose?
>>143104512
Except "shounen" is regularly used to mean "battle shounen" even here on /a/.
Complain all you want, I'd say you're even right to oppose the acceptance of the expansion; but that doesn't mean that words don't acquire connotations and additional meanings which are used.

Age gap shit disturbs me deeply 95% of the time (mfw Usagi Drop), but when it's done well I love it.
>>143104809
As shorthand, sure, but no one would say "Well, see, Devilman/Lucky Star/Nisekoi/whatever is shounen, but is it REALLY part of the shounen genre?" except for complete newfag retards.

I'd buy it provided the writing was good.

>>143105855
You lack imagination.
>>143105705
I fucking love age gap shit, but Usagi Drop was retarded.
>>143105705
Have you tried reading Takane to Hana? I swear the ages work in reverse.
>>143106184
One generally doesn't want to imagine things that make one extremely uncomfortable.
>>143104273
I do it because either I'll get a source or I'll trigger some babies, it's win-win.
>>143106284
>Takane to Hana
Haven't read it but I will now, I'm currently on the look for new shit (god prevent me from dropping to a manageable level of ongoing series just because a few are ending).
>>143106245
>Usagi Drop was retarded
Also made THAT much worse by how good the pre time skip part was, Imagine coming off such a heartwarming anime just to be dropped into that shit. I wonder if the stories about exec meddling are true.
>>143088121
1) shoujo is not a genre
2) RoV was a shoujo series when it came out, but it wasn't really popular, some years later it gained attention from the anime community, which was all but shoujo
3) 70s shoujo is different from nowadays shoujo
>>143106469
I kind of doubt it, I see no reason why a fucking editor would tell her to do a timeskip into an incest ending. It was probably just her fetishism taking over.
>>143105722
>and our favorite exhentai tags

I see no reason why he wouldn't nix the idea on the spot for that matter.

The pairing at the end is literally the least shitty thing about Usagi Drop's ending
I dunno why but it always bugs me when people get up in arms about that and not how much shittier everything else about the series post-timeskip was.

Eh.
Just realized that I have at least 5 different shoujo manga and anime on my backlog, but for some reason, they feel harder to pick up than other.
>>143106926
The pairing being the least shitty thing only highlights how bad, how awful the tone change was, because the pair was rage inducing. I can take pairings with quasi-fatherly figures (like Taiyou no ie), but a relationship from preschool turning into romantic love? Fuck that.
God fucking damn it I was there for fatherly feels not for Woody Allen 2: the manganing.
Which is probably also why most people complain about the pairing the most: people went there for the cute father daughter interactions, not for teen fucking angst and fetishes.
>>143088837
>mfw I have 30 ongoing series moving at snail's pace plus another 10 romance series but catalogued as shonen/seinen

>>143106469

>>143107481
>men like young girls

>>143088837
I just read three Natsume Ono manga, not really shoujo but she's god-tier.
>>143107709
>Letting teenagers make life altering decisions in the hope that they will be rational
You wont find as many women liking older men when they reach their 20s. When reality kicks it becomes obvious that theywearen't so great after all.
>>143107709
It's not a pedo scare. It's actually perfectly normal for people to be very uncomfortable with a big partner age difference. There's just a big wide mental gap that makes love exceedingly unlikely.
Men want to fuck younger girls, but that's just sexual. Girls that want to fuck old men (as in 40+) have daddy issues.
>>143108098
Would you say men who like MILFs have mother issues then?
>>143107709but I like older women
>>143108098
>Girls that want to fuck old men (as in 40+) have daddy issues
I read something about how men has matured after that age.
>>143108198
I've never met a man who is into milfs qua milfs romantically, but by analogy yeah, what few are there probably have mommy issues.
>>143108282
>how men has matured after that age
Girls don't look for that. It's usually young women (25+) who care about it.
>>143108402
>It's usually young women (25+) who care about it.
25 and 40 are still pretty far away desu
>>143108457
Yeah but when both are adults there's too many factors involved to just generalize.
Like wallet maturity.
Or even just finding a man willing and capable to commit to marriage and kids.
This anime had good moments but it was just so melodramatic. It was like watching a cheesy soap opera almost half of the time. The OST was extremely generic and off putting aside from a few tracks as well.
My favorite episodes though were the one where Rosalie confronted her mom, and when Andre and Oscar finally fucked. The accordion mans death was also good.
I'm not walking away thinking of it as some masterpiece as some of you anons suggested though. And Ashita no Joe was definitely better. Just saying.
>>143108976
The thing with Oscar is that it wasn't fully directed by Dezaki. The first few episodes were by another dude, then he died and Dezaki took over around episode 19. The second half is very obviously Dezaki, specially the MANLY stuff when Oscar needs to serve as captain.
