A story about Ainsworth Ooal Gowington and his lovley Japanese child bride going on a simultaneously dramatic yet whimsical adventure through the world of fantasy. Also, some effeminate jew shows up and ruins everything. I only read the manga, should I try seeing the anime?

Anime's pretty faithful to the manga for the most part, outside of a couple scenes that were altered for some reason. The same studio also made an OVA that takes place before the beginning of the manga that's not half bad.

I've been watching the anime but haven't read the manga. It's pretty boring shoujo stuff but it's pretty, has a nice soundtrack, and is overall just fairly solid if you don't have ADHD.

Technically this is actually a shonen.

Anime brushes past arcs way too fast. The manga is a lot more paced and comfy. I recommend it to anyone who likes supernatural fantasy that isn't another MMO story.

Wasn't it hinted that Ainsworth is a Wendigo that migrated to Europe from North America?

So that's where the term "eternal jew" originated from huh? Quite the interesting legend, never heard of it even though I live in Europe, I'm guessing it's because everyone here is afraid to talk about anything vaguely related to WWII.

There have been shonen with a lot of pretty boys.

Because she's a likable character overall. That's a given. This isn't a shoujo.

Ancient Magus Bride is definitely a shonen. The target demographic is shonen and it is featured in a shonen magazine called the Monthly Comic Garden, which is the same magazine that hosts this shonen >>5305
You're just use to shonen being from Jump magazine, which uses a similar formula for most of their stories. Jump magazine is a popular normalfag entry level shonen magazine.

Hey idiots. Shounen is just the publisher, it's still written by a woman.

Youre missing the entire point of >>5370 >>5585 which is what spawned this entire aside. The fact that it FEELS like a shoujo. Actually read the interview with the writer and she goes on at length about the female perspective she brings to the manga.

Mitsuboshi Colors is shonen too and also not from Jump. Check out other shonen not published by Jump magazine.

So any manga can be shounen as long as the original writers calls it that? So an artist/writer can make a manga filled with shitty shoujo tropes, release it into a shoujo magazine yet call it a "shounen" in an interview and then it's still considered to be one?
No.5624

If this was a shoujo, Ainsworth would be a teenage pretty boy p, she'd go to school and would have magical girl transformation sequences as well as a shoujo style villain and more cute critters of simple design. This doesn't follow the typical shoujo tropes, but the shonen tropes you would say it lacks are Jump's tropes and they don't own all shonen. You'd have a better argument of this being a Josei since it carries a bit of Josei tropes.

You could say the same with any other shonen and seinen. Mitsuboshi Colors is shonen. Shonen is a demographic of young boys, there's various genres in shonen oriented anime and manga with different kinds of story telling. If this series was Jump, it would have shoehorned power levels and tournament arcs like any other Jump series. Go read other shonen magazines such as the Monthly Comic Garden and Bessatsu shonen magazine.

I'm not used to stuff actually happening in this show and the plot moving forward. I was a bit confused about what was going on in the beginning of the episode because time had passed since the end of episode 18. Maybe the cliffhanger at the end of this episode will even take more than five seconds to be resolved at the beginning of the next one.

The manga sure has gone in some strange directions. I sure didn't expect Ainsworth to try and sacrifice that girl to save Chise and Chise to make a deal with Cartaphilus. I have a feeling it's gonna end soon, and I just hope it doesn't end too bittersweetly.
