Comedy/Adventure/TV/Shoujo Titles

#
Comedy: (Genre) Self-explanatory - a title that primarily makes you laugh.

Adventure: (Genre) Titles where the characters are involved in an undertaking usually involving danger and unknown risks.

TV: (Type) All anime series done for TV should go into this slot.

Shoujo: (Target Group) (↗shoujo (少女) = "young lady", "virgin", "maiden"; opposite of "Shounen") A style of artwork and story created for girls (usually of age 10 to 18). Characterized by plots that focus on emotion and relationships, and art that tends toward the florid, with lanky characters and rather effeminate (but always attractive) men. Mostly popular with teenagers in Japan, most shoujo-style work has not spread widely, but it does occasionally gain recognition outside Japan (some examples are Revolutionary Girl Utena and X). The most common uses are "shoujo manga", literally meaning "girls' comics", and "shoujo anime" meaning "girls' animation." Also romanized as "shojo" (actually a different word "処女" in Japanese).
