movies/tv Shoujo Anime Recommendations?


Ryzu

Recommended Posts

So I just finished Kaichou Wa Maid Sama, which is probably one of my favorite animes now, and I want more shoujo equal to or better than it. (I am obsessed with shoujo) So what are your personal favorite shoujo? I honestly could care less about ratings in the anime world because people are so judgmental, so I just want this to be personal. Some of my favorite anime are widely hated on for reasons I can't understand. Every anime at least deserves a chance. So what's your favorite Shoujo(s)?

Don't know if there's an anime for it or if it's just a manga but Hana Kimi has always been one of my favorites. A highschool girl has a massive crush on a guy who's the upcoming Olympic High Jump star. So huge that she moves to his city and gets into his school. His all boys school. Yeah, she disguises herself as a guy just to get close to him and be friends. He finds out pretty early on that she's a girl but knows she's trying to keep it secret. This leads to many hijinx between the two of them and their group of friends.

I'll check it out! And honestly I don't really care whether or not it's animated, it's still shoujo. :3

I don't have any favorites, but if you're looking for recommendations, I'd throw out Sailor Moon, since that's like the definitive shoujo.

 

And Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-Kun. Even thought Nozaki-Kun isn't technically a shoujo, it's mainly a comedy. But the art looks very similar to one, same with the "romance" it has. Plus the main guy actually writes shoujo manga, hence the name of the show.

 

I also heard Fruits Basket is a very good one too.

 

EDIT: Actually, here. Click this link, it lists every anime in the Shoujo genre that's in the database of the website. MyAnimeList generally has every single anime ever made, so this should help you out immensely. http://myanimelist.net/anime.php?genre[0]=25&q=&tag=&sy=0&sm=0&sd=0&ey=0&em=0&ed=0&c[0]=a&c[1]=b&c[2]=c&show=0

Some people only watch anime, some only read manga. Just makin' sure. :P

 

I know of another series but I'm honestly not sure if it's shoujo or ecchi. Maybe both. The series is basically a collection of romance stories. No character shows up more than once as far as I remember. The thing is that it can seem a bit male-oriented with some of its fanservice in spite of its mushy stories. Maybe they were trying to appeal to both. Give it a shot if you care to. I know I liked it. It's called Boys:Be.

 

Ah My Goddess is always one I'll recommend. Not really a shoujo but a pretty good romantic comedy (more romance than comedy usually). I know this topic is about shoujo anime but it never hurts to talk about similar anime/genres, yeah? :P

I would recommend 'Skip Beat!' and 'Princess Tutu'. The first is a pretty accessible romantic comedy about a girl who wants to get into showbiz.... to get revenge on her ex-boyfriend. The latter, is a magical girl anime, although the magical fights aren't so much fights but magical ballet competitions; and it has an incredibly deceptively simple looking yet rich plots in an anime series.

I know there's a place you walked
Where love falls from the trees
My heart is like a broken cup
I only feel right on my knees.
I spit out like a sewer hole
Yet still receive your kiss
How can I measure up to anyone now
After such a love as this?

Forgot to mention that I am open to ALL Shoujo, including lesbian and gay ones. It's still cute to watch even if it's not my sexuality. As willing as I am to watch these they need to be clean. Like kissing and stuff is fine, but nothing more than that if you get what I'm saying. I'm watching these for entertainment, but not THAT kind of entertainment.
