A couple of Shoujo animes.

Well, in order to avoid multiple topics at once, I decide to chunk up a lot of shoujo series I like into one topic for discussion. Hope that works.

Anyway, a couple that I like:

Card Captor Sakura

I enjoy this series mainly of Sakura's attitude. I can't bear to laugh when she is mad when her older bro calls her 'monster' or she has fights with her other classmate (sorry, never watch the fansubs, so have no idea what his english is.). Also, a magican girl-ish with an animal partner is something I usually enjoy about, especially when the girl is sort of foolish. XD

Ojamajo (Magical) Doremi

Like CCS, I watch this purely out of its funniness. You know, watching the world's saddest bishoujo (well, according to show, she is. XD) suddenly becoming a witch, along with four other friends of hers (plus her sister) making series of ROFL things with their magics, means something I seriously can't miss. Plus, who can miss a girl who has bad grades, bad luck (I guess? at making things worse, she is pretty good sometimes.), and a love for steaks? XD

Maburaho

Well, now this is seriously a shoujo anime. This is somehow funny, but I watch this because it involves teenage girl/boy relationship, especially when one girls come for him, one girl comes for his genes, and one girl comes for his life (a.k.a. kill him). This kind quadripal-loving relationship is something must be laugh about when one girl gets jealous on another.

So, this is so far the list I can crank up about. what do you think about these series?

I sometimes see them classified like that. Rarely, though.

The only series that you listed that I know of are CCS and Maburaho. I've read the mange of Maburaho before and it's really hilarious. You should list the other well-known shoujo, such as Fruits Basket and Full Moon wo Sagashite.

I love Ojamajo Doremi! (Why else do I run about 3 sites to it?) The first season was really funny, but the 4th season was really funny too! Hana-chan's messy behavior makes me laugh so much. The ending of the 4th season is so sad though! (The dub premieres on August 13 at 9:30 AM on 4Kids TV!)

And... Fushigiboshi no Futago Hime! *points to signature* It's so much like Ojamajo Doremi! Fine and Rein make up funny dances in every episode, like the "Iyaiya Dance!" (Iyaiya iyaaaa, iya iyaaaa!)

It really depends. 4Kids TV is a child block on FOX.

I just found out the dub names for the respective "witchlings" as they are called now: Dorie, Reanne, and Mirabelle.

Alright people, get your bats, cause i'm gonna ask, What's a shoujo?

A "girl" anime/manga. I've watched a few episodes of Fruit's Basket with my girlfriend and I must say its pretty funny.

Hmmm... I guess Sailor Moon is one of them... But I have to say it's more "for the guys to like the girls" then a girl anime.

I watched a bit of Sailor Mon, pathetically. I LOVED Cardcaptors, even though people hate the dub so much...I WANT to get into Fruits Basket, because FUNimation always does such a great job, and uh...that's about it.

I was a major Cardcaptor Sakura (sorry, not Cardcaptors =P) fan about a year ago, and a Furuba (Fruits Basket) one at the moment. I'm such a sucker for shoujo manga as well xD I absolutely love Full Moon wo Sagashite as well as Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne - I haven't been able to get my hands on any of Tanemura Arina's other works. The art is so beautiful!

Oh, how could I have forgotten Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch? I've obsessed over that for a long time, but the young 'uns of the fan community made me dislike it a lot. ._. Still, I like the art, and the music in the show.

There is this one that I saw in a mall. It's called Pretty Cure (Futari wa Precure). I don't know much about the story, but the two heroines, Nagisa (Cure Black) and Honoko (Cure White), are saving a fantasy world from evil. Unlike other magical shoujo anime, Precure only has these duo, which relies on their punhes and kicks more than their magics.

There is this other one that I saw, but I don't know the title (I never catch the title whenever I see the show). It's basically the everyday life of girl in a magical world. At first I thought it was an anime version of Princess Maker, because two of the characters remind me of PM2's Cube and PM3's Lisa...

There's a couple of Shoujo series that I recently finished...

One's Fun Fun Factory, it's only partially translated and it's pretty short, but it has a fairly entertaining plot.

Basically... A girl and 10 boys get cursed from eating a magic cake, and the girl gets posessed by a witch that causes it to rain cake and activate the curses of any of those boys who are near her whenever she sings a certain song. To dispel the curse, she has to find all 10 of the boys and gather them together to cast a spell that breaks the curse.

It's really weird, but it's pretty funny while it lasts and the characters are amusing (If you have low bishie tolerance, I doubt you'll like this though Razz

)

Other one's Aka-chan to Boku or Baby and Me.

I just finished reading some of the translations and raw chapters and such... and it's one of the best Shoujo manga I've read. (that's saying a lot, considering how much of a rabid Kodocha fan I am XD)

It has some really great storyline ideas and characters and is one of the few non-magical girl Shoujo manga I've read not to focus on Romance.

Edit: And speaking of rabid Kodocha fanthinging... I'm gonna mention that too. Kodocha, full name Kodomo no Omocha (Child's Toy) is my favorite Shoujo anime/manga ever...

It has some of the best designed character personalities I've seen, with a very interesting portrayal of the "opposites attract" type romance. As well, it has some really good transition from random crack induced humor to serious, dramatic/angsty storylines.

Sana x Akito's also probably my favorite pairing that actually happens in canon Razz

As far as Shoujo anime go my favorite two would have to be X and Fushigi Yuugi. Those two are really great series, and the dubs aren't that bad either, as opposed to anything on 4-kids *cough Mew Mew Power cough cough*, and the dubs are better than the Cardcaptor Sakura dub too. i haven't seen much Fruit Baskets but I hear it's pretty good too. I thought I'd seen Inuyasha as shoujo somewhere, but apparently I was mistaken... my bad. Parts of it do seem that way though... mostly Kagome constantly dealing with her relationship with Inuyasha.
