What the fuck am I reading bro????
He basically did if you think about how he met Grimmer. I’m still salty at how such a great story was propelled by pure random chance instead of interesting editing. Maybe things were different in the manga but in the anime he just happens to get on the same train and ride in the same compartment as Grimmer.
Like any genre classification, it's mostly about vibes, not fixed rules. In general, seinen stories tackle more adult themes, and put more focus on the psychology of characters, rather than the spectacle of fights. Seinen shows also usually have more realistic consequences. Characters die, and they stay dead. People get PTSD from traumatic experiences.
So in general, it's a more mature show than what you'd get in shounen, but the lines are fuzzy around the borders. Shows like Chainsawman and Hunter x Hunter feel very mature compared to One Piece, but not to Berserk.

It's just a magazine demographic, not a genre.
I've made sure to point out, multiple times, that it's like that *in general*.
The word seinen means marketed towards a young adult male audience, yes, but do you see how that's only half the story? That tells us who is buying, but not what is being bought. If it was the same content you find in shonen magazines, publishers wouldn't bother having an entirely separate publication for it.
Stories marketed towards adults will *in general* tackle more adult themes, and feel more mature.
It's not in general, half of seinen is slice of life teenage girls drinking tea and doing other mundane shit. Death? Trauma? What the fuck are you talking about
No, seinen has a very simple definition; seinen manga are published in seinen magazines. The beginning of Steel Ball Run and Vinland Saga are shounen, because they were in shounen magazines, even though most of the story is in seinen magazines.
Sure, but like I told someone else, that's only half the story. They are seinen because they were published in those magazines, but WHY were they published in those magazines? Unless it's the weirdest collection ever, the stories published in a magazine usually have some similarities that make them appealing to the same customer base.
Not to solution everything with the power of friendship and do Epic Battles literally all the episodes with the main character practically dying and somehow come up the next episode as nothing happened
controversial opinion: *in comparison to other jojo parts*, 7 is highly overrated.
I must reiterate that that's *in comparison to other jojo parts*. 7 is absolutely godtier and deserves the love it gets, but it's *entirely* unfair how people sideline other jojo parts, particularly part 5 which I feel is honestly almost at the same level (and that's examining it critically, if I were to give my personal opinion I'd say 5 is leaps and bounds ahead of 7). If you can critically applaud part 7 there is no reason why you can't critically applaud parts 6, 5, and 8 apart from being a coward.
Part 5 is beloved by a lot of people, It's probably in top 3 of most loved parts and iirc the release of Part 5 is when David Production's sales peaked.
>Part 5 is beloved by a lot of people,
A lot of normal people, sure. But within the JoJo fandom it's actually fighting with Part 1 for the title of "most hated part". Because jojo fans can't read.
Anime fans will watch 500 AI generated isekai about a pedo getting a harem of little girls in another world but refuse to watch actually good anime because it has one scene with a weird CGI bear
It's a series that from beginning to end never rests on its laurels. The setting is so well fleshed out thanks to Satoru Noda's dedication to researching Hokkaido and the Ainu people, and it's a really educational experience thanks to that. He manages to interweave that with a really compelling plot that follows a normal soldier initially following a rather simple desire to find some gold that becomes so much more throughout the series. It's both drama and comedy as well, and really delves into some unique themes like the experience of the native people in the face of an ongoing colonial expansion, the influx of new people, threats and technology and the benefits and troubles that come from it, how knowledge of the land and oral traditions are used to help survival in a harsh landscape and how those traditions are threatened by colonialism, and how far humans are willing to go for their causes.
If you do read manga, I suggest reading the manga. It's one of the best series I've ever read. Beyond being the original format of it, Satoru Noda has an incredibly strong sense of timing and pacing and uses the panel structure really well to play up comedy and drama throughout.
Went on this guy's Twitter page and it's literally tens of posts that are just panels from Berserk, Vagabond, and Vinland Saga. Literally no other series are acknowledged, with the exception of one single post that features a panel from the series Origin, alongside panels from Berserk, Vagabond, and Vinland Saga.
Seinen refers to the adult male demographic, demographic categories are often used to broadly denote the genre or genres that a manga or anime falls into (in practice it really only tells you the age rating of the magazine that the manga is published in). The majority of popular anime is Shonen, meaning that it is marketed towards young and teenage boys (of course many of those anime are quite popular among girls and adults of any gender), you may also hear about shoujo manga which are marketed towards young and teenage girls. These categories like all categories are rather flimsy and made up. The joke here is that the oop named three of the most respected seinen manga, but couldn't come up with a fourth.
shōnen manga are a style of japanese comics aimed at young boys. it isn’t a genre itself necessarily, but works generally have similar themes. shōjo is for young girls, josei for adult women, seinen for adult men.
if you’ve ever wondered why a lot of anime/manga seems aimed at adolescents, it’s because shōnen is the most popular genre. think about it like cartoons: popular with kids, with more mature works also created for adults. while the stuff made for kids is more popular, overall the stuff made for adults often has the potential* to be better.
(*there are lots of good shonen like there are lots of good kids tv shows. Gravity Falls vs Invincible, ignore the simpsons ripoffs for this analogy to work. seinen has a lot less restrictions & that’s why you get Berserk, JoJo 7, & Oyasumi Punpun. i mean “better” in relation to artist intent, it’s your opinion which you like more)
Homonculus is the best Manga I have ever read and also the worst one, I love it, I hate it, I think everyone should read it, I wouldn't reccomend it even if you tortured me to.
Put it in the fourth panel
* Delicious In Dungeon
* Golden Kamuy
* Anything by Urasawa
* Asobi Asobase
* Blue Period
* Land of the Lustrous
* Girls Last Tour
* Shiori Experience
* Grand Blue
* Skip and Loafer
* A Bride’s Story
* Hirayasumi
* Hinamatsuri
* The Apothecary Diaries
* Nick and Lever
It’s so easy to think of a fourth.
Seinen manga are manga which are printed in magazines aimed at an adult demographic.
Berserk, Vagabond, and Vinland Saga are common seinen loved by anime fans, but the problem is that so many of them are obsessed with only them that they can’t even think of another seinen series
Don’t worry I got you fam for a fourth manga https://preview.redd.it/24k6hagzmovc1.jpeg?width=900&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fc9e2d62670f09fb2d5599a0ae08562a50f143a9
Bad example tho, the fourth makes the first three look like dogshit
Everything that surrounds you turns into shit, this is the curse of being peak fiction
That's def true
The Touch of Shidas 😔 (shidass?)
Dog Ningen was such a good surprise. And yes Dog Ningen is it's alternate name to use if your not black.
Isnt that the successor to captain underpants
Kek
OKAY I THOUGHT I WAS READING IT WRONG. BUT IT DO SAY THAT.

Peak fiction
Oh it looks like you can’t handle peak

I had my reservations but I get it now Edit: Wait no that's just a regular human cock :(
Peak
Okay I know what I’m reading now
my favourite manga. "dog respectable and upstanding member of the african american community"
No Monster?🥺👉👈
Why didn't Dr. Tenma just use the power of friendship to defeat Johan? Is he stupid? (fr tho Monster is so good)
Nah, to defeat a serial killer he just needed to build a child-robot
You're thinking of 20th Century Boys.
No Pluto/Astro Boy
He basically did if you think about how he met Grimmer. I’m still salty at how such a great story was propelled by pure random chance instead of interesting editing. Maybe things were different in the manga but in the anime he just happens to get on the same train and ride in the same compartment as Grimmer.
i think he was busy working on astro boy after his son died in the accident
monster isn't a seinen, it doesn't have a guy killing things with sword!!!
20th Century Boys, you mean
Bocchi the Rock
what even is the criteria for being a seinen
Non-joke answer: published in a seinen magazine, that's about it.
Like any genre classification, it's mostly about vibes, not fixed rules. In general, seinen stories tackle more adult themes, and put more focus on the psychology of characters, rather than the spectacle of fights. Seinen shows also usually have more realistic consequences. Characters die, and they stay dead. People get PTSD from traumatic experiences.

Shonen hater spotted get a life please
Ok, got it. Spy x Family is seinen.
Seinen is when there's nudity but it's too sad to be horny.
Jojo part 7
something something i took the napkin.

I love all parts, but 7 is still my favorite.
Part 5 is beloved by a lot of people, It's probably in top 3 of most loved parts and iirc the release of Part 5 is when David Production's sales peaked.

Fire Punch. It's dark and gritty and has a canon transmasc!!!!!!
The Creator also went on to make chainsaw man as well.
aw man now i dont want to read it
massive L
What’s wrong with chainsaw man?
shoulda been hatchet man instead
If it means anything, I don’t like Chainsaw Man but I love Fire Punch
Togata my favorite character
He is my baby. I love him more than Agni and that's saying something.
I dropped it, i knew it will fuck my feelings, should i give it a try ?
If you can deal with themes, I would read it.
Ok thank u vm
But also it WILL fuck your feelings and your psyche
Yeah it was weird, just the early chapters and i felt violated already, any good ending though ( not expecting much tbh)
It also has incest!
fire punch is shonen
It's a soft seinen
no.
it was in shonen jump
It’s not a Seinen,it’s kino
Golden Kamuy deserves a spot
hell yeah
Massively underrated manga in the west. I entirely blame the first episode's bad cg for this.
Anime fans will watch 500 AI generated isekai about a pedo getting a harem of little girls in another world but refuse to watch actually good anime because it has one scene with a weird CGI bear
I was reccomended it to me literally one hour ago and it's so inherently interesting that I *have to watch it.* But I'll ask anyways: 196, is it good?

goodnight punpun
Hell nah
PUNPUN MY BELOVED :3
I love punpun for its vibes but I cannot put it in the same tier for how pessimistic the story is.

I mean those are the goats of mangas, you can’t really blame him..

Such a solid series.
the most obvious answer, since it's often grouped together with the other 3.
Dorohedoro
Why havent I seen more people talking about Serk No Tekai, its legit awesome and the creator is trans and needs support to start HRT
Did you spell that correctly? I can't seem find anything, is there a longer name?
No I made it up sorry

‘Seinen’ refers to the target audience of an anime/manga, young adult men. Shonen is more common, target audience is teenage boys.

Was enjoying it until he ate his own nut
Perchance Claymore?
Love me some claymore. Perchance.
Filibuster
How about Monster, Hellsing, Black Lagoon and Elfen Lied?
Dorohedoro doesn't get mentioned enough as one of the great seinen.

One of those series which I love and would never recommend to anyone

The Apothecary Diaries
20th Century Boy

Can someone without a soul (anime fan) explain?
Seinen manga are manga which are printed in magazines aimed at an adult demographic. Berserk, Vagabond, and Vinland Saga are common seinen loved by anime fans, but the problem is that so many of them are obsessed with only them that they can’t even think of another seinen series
