Nah, someone says Battle Royale is Kids Manga because it involves Schoolkids. |

 Heh. Indeed. In any of the shoujo communities on LJ, you can check the archive and somewhere in there, there will be a guy(or girl) refering to Chobits or Love Hina as shoujo. Or even worse, the communities where the creator bemoans the lack of shoujo state-side/the amount of people who enjoy shoujo titles in the community description, then tacks up a Chobits layout.

"Beckett Spotlight: Anime For Girls, which was released to the direct market last week and will be on newsstands this week is geared towards a female 12 to 20-year-old audience. Roughly 120,000 copies of the issue will be circulated. "If it's successful, we'll take it further," explains Kale."
if this magazine describes InuYasha and The World of Narue and other shounen/seinen/dansei/bishoujo anime and manga as shoujo or josei then I hope this magazine fails. sorry but I have no compassion to a company that spreads wrong information. if you don't know: Shounen/Seinen/Dansei anime and manga are targeted at male audience. Bishoujo anime/manga/games are targeted at male audience. |

The last issue of Anime Collector still was targetted at Kids below 12. What the hell are they talking about? |

*gasp*
You double-posted! Anyway, another bad magazine related to anime and manga. What's more is that it was targetted at girls, so I care even less. |

I've got to chuckle at two things, actually.
#1 - Becketts. It's funny in of itself. #2 - Chobits. Not necessarily that some guys think it's shoujo, but that one of the top mainstream shonen romance comedies comes from a group of women. 
Anyways, if they're putting Orlando Bloom into a Inuyasha role then they've already missed the boat. In case they haven't noticed recently, it's Johnny Depp who's starring in all of the yaoi fanfics. |

Is it really that odd? After all Takahashi created one of the most loved seinen romances of all time.

Ehh, I suppose not if you consider Ranma 1/2. Even still, it's pretty humorous.
Equally humorous is that from what I've seen, Shuichi Shigeno got his start with shoujo manga.

I have never, -ever- liked Beckett. The magazines are poorly put together, littered with information that is entirely not appealing, and riddled with typos and editorial errors.
I used to subscribe back when Pokemon was popular to check the prices on cards, and lately I pick up Beckett in the store just to check on what -they- thing is hot now and then. Their magazines have awful typo errors, and their articles are annoyingly repetitive. They've only featured sections on Inuyasha once every issue. And it's the same stuff, over and over again. They have a very different view of anime, mentioning mostly only stuff that's already been released in the US. I prefer the other magazines, such as Newtype, a lot more. (As for that Pash! magazine, I hope that gets brought over soon--anything that had Roy and Ed on the cover of its first issue deserves it )

Maison Ikkoku I assume. She also created one of the most popular predecessors to the Harem genre, Ranma 1/2 |

NewType is ok, but I still am cautious when reading it because it is owned by ADV, so I don't know how biased they are towards ADV releases.
I would love to see an actual anime magazine put out by a group not associated with a distro company (and, if it was directed towards females, that would be even better!). Any ladies have an idea? Contact me via here! |
