Please tell me your reading that :<
When the spiderguy popped up i simply put the anime down to rest :/

So you didn't watch beyond the first episode? The anime and the manga are both very well done actually. It's a lot more political than pure action.

Possibly premature to call it off after, wasnt first episode thou but i only have a recollection of that particular scene... the trailer had the manga story line, which the anime smashed into tiny pieces in meer minutes. I might actully take a peek again at it... love the manga and the story behind it, knowing that the anime wouldnt be as awesome killed it off for me when it was released.

The anime's only real difference is Mei Ren. The rest of the stuff I had assumed would have been in a season 2 if it ever aired.

And it was the second episode where the spider appeared. I follow a policy of 3 episodes per anime to get me into it.

You actually had me looking up what was different, thats quite a swap, no biggie thou (lack of grown ladies i guess?).. There are however changes, many in the begining, how they reunite and their standings then and the ending (yes i looked it up, seeing as theres not a huge difference i know the main story) a mention of a certain someone that she served made my eyebrown frown a bit when the person was revealed.. BUT its apparently not too much. Theres alot of small stuff changed, i do see your point thou and it could be a relativly good watch.

And if a second came out id say it probaly would diverge more

Anyone who says that doesnt like shonen is a big big liar!

The biggest problem with shounen is the rtards they attract, it's like moths to light. Shounen can be fun to watch.

Seinen = K-ON! / Dance in the Vampire Bund

K-ON! is a slice of life comedy, not a seinen.

[Lagwin]

Well come the end of the week and the begining of next week we have a load of new anime to watch. http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=calendar
Theres atleast a few on there that have me intrested, IS: Infinite Stratos, Freezing, Mitsudomoe Zouryouchuu!, Dragon Crisis! and Level E...will give the others a whirl aswell but those are the ones that are intresting me atm.

[CelestialSteedOwner]

I like the Hellsing animes, manga and OVA, am i the only one that likes watching a badass vampire shoot the shit out of zombies and more zombies?

[lizon]

K-ON! is a slice of life comedy, not a seinen.

Seinen refers to the market demographics that the anime/manga targets.
Slice of life is the category of the anime/manga.

They refer to different things.

[Diabloss]

I personally enjoy the more action-y animes, I watch Bleach, One Piece, and Naruto Shippuden regularly. I also very much enjoyed Code Geass and Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.

Seinen is both a genre and a market demographics, the former amongst non-Japanese anime fans and latter in Japan. That still doesn't make K-On a seinen though, considering it's aimed at Japanese otaku and not the seinen demographic.

From every reference I've looked at K-ON! is categorized as a Seinen. Plus looking at the age group of the people who watch it I would have to agree.

If you were to mention Seinen and Shonen together then yes they would be considered genres. But by mentioning it along with the Slice of Life categorization Sheien and Shonen now become referred to as market demographics with Slice of Life being referred to as the genre. It's a matter of context that determines what meaning holds true.

From every reference I've looked at K-ON isn't categorized as a seinen . I'll repeat K-On is aimed at otaku. Let me remind you otaku aren't bound by age, seinen is 'limited' to just young adults.

If you were to mention Seinen and Shonen together then yes they would be considered genres. .

I'll repeat what I said:
Seinen is both a genre and a market demographics, the former amongst non-Japanese anime fans and latter in Japan. The same holds true for shoujo, shounen and josei. There's no need for context amongst non-Japanese fans.

Seriously man please work on your reading comprehension skill, it feels like I'm talking to someone who isn't reading what I wrote.

shonen -male audience 10-18
Shoujo -female audience 10-18

seinen - male audience 18-30or more
josei - female audience 18-30or more

K-on is a seinen in this case since it catters to the male audience between 18-30 specifically and offers fan-service.

Shonen series are generally devined by a a male protagonist in a competitive environment such as sports,fighting or love. (Hajime no ippo, bleach, love hina)
