A- Different anime and manga genres (by Nathan Vail)

Anime and manga are cartoons and comic books originating in Japan , and the same genres can be used to classify each to help you find what you're looking for. There are many different types of groupings and sub-groupings, but below are some of the basic and more commonly used genres for anime and manga.

1. SHONEN

The Shonen genre includes series with a target audience of young males from ages 8 to18. These primarily focus on action and big battle scenes rather than complex relationships or romance. The storylines are usually relatively simple, and frequently feature a lot of comedy between fight scenes. Male protagonists are the rule, and camaraderie among the heroes is often portrayed. There are typically few female characters, and these are often (though not always) drawn in the "beautiful girl" style, called bishojo. Dragon Ball, Yu Yu Hakusho, and Naruto are examples from the Shonen genre.

2. SHOJO

The Shojo genre features series with a target audience of young females from ages 8 to 18. The focus here is usually on the development of relationships and romance with the female protagonists. This group generally has a more complex and story-driven plot than the Shonen genre, with less emphasis on action. The romance aspect is often idealized, and the males involved are usually drawn in the "beautiful boy" style, called bishonen. Sailor Moon, Wish, and Crescent Moon are examples from the Shojo genre.                                                                  

3. KODOMO

Kodomo is the genre for younger children from ages 6 to 10. These are often light-hearted and humorous in nature, though there is usually an underlying moralistic element that strives to teach children values such as honesty, friendship, compassion, bravery, and so forth. They also have simple plots that often resolve at the end of each episode or chapter in order to keep with the shorter attention span of children. Pokemon, Hamtaro, and Digimon are examples from the Kodomo genre.

4. SEINEN

The Seinen genre has a target audience of men from ages 18 to 30. Though they have similarities with the Shonen genre, Seinen anime and manga offer a wider range of subject matter and more in-depth story lines and character development. The battle scenes often contain more graphic violence as well, and romantic relationships, adult situations, and occasionally sexually explicit imagery may be present. The artwork is also of a more realistic style for the older audience. Ghost in the Shell, Hellsing, and Vagabond are examples from the Seinen genre.

5. JOSEI

The Josei genreis the female counterpart of the Seinen genre, aimed at women from the ages of 18 to 30. Much of these cover the lives and everyday experiences of adult women living in Japan , though some are set in high school or have fantasy settings. They contain more mature and complex story telling, frequently portraying realistic romantic relationships rather than the idealized romance of the Shojo genre. These also contain more developed characters and usually have a more realistic style of art. Honey and Clover, Midnight Secretary, and Paradise Kiss are examples from the Josei genre.

6. MECHA

The Mecha genre refers to anime and manga that feature giant robots and their pilots as the central plot points. These robots (or "mechs") range in size, from realistic tank-sized machines to mechs that can be many stories high, or more. They are almost invariably used as war machines, and the storylines of this genre (like the mechs) are usually complex and large in scale, often involving futuristic wars between whole nations which may not only be on the earth, but across space colonies or planets as well, with plenty of action and massive battles along the way. Gundam Wing, Code Geass, and Voltron are examples from the Mecha genre.

7. HENTAI

Hentai refers to anime and manga of a pornographic nature, and can be divided into two main groups: heterosexual and homosexual. Within the homosexual group are the Yaoi and Yuri genres. "Yaoi" refers to male-on-male relationships and "Yuri" refers to girl-on-girl relations. These aren't the only groups, though; cross-dressing and other different genres can also be found. Hentai anime and manga are almost invariably drawn in the bishonen and bishojo styles mentioned earlier. You'll have to find your own examples of this kind.

8. JIDAIGEKI

Finally, the Jidaigeki ("period drama") genre covers anime and manga with a historical setting, usually between 17th to 19th century Japan . The characters and settings can be based on real historic persons and events, or with fictional characters and modified (or fictional) events, or a mix of these elements, with a usual focus on famous samurai or ninja stories and their battles. Examples of this genre include Rurouni Kenshin, Lone Wolf and Cub, and Ninja Scroll.

These are not all of the different genres for anime and manga, and some of these frequently overlap; for example, Lone Wolf and Cub belongs to both the Jidaigeki and Seinen genres. As you can see, anime and manga offers you a wide range of subject matter and artwork, and you'll probably find something you like if you take a look.
