Not a genre but actually a demographic. Refers to anime based on manga that was originally serialized in a magazine targeting girls of any age. American fans seem to often be confused and classify any show that has romance and/or major female main characters as shoujo-- this is wrong.
Anime based on manga targeting young women would be called josei. (though very little of the manga targetting young women gets made into anime-- the only ones I can think of are Ebichu and Momoiro Sisters.)

Mao-chan is an 8-year old girl who wants to defend Japan from the evils of those ever-so-cute aliens that just keep landing from outer space. Fortunately her grandfather is in charge of the Ground Defense Force and so Mao-chan and two other 8-year old girls (Silvia-chan and Misora-chan) are given the task to defend Japan's ground, air, and sea. Cute girls to fight cute aliens thanks to alien technology left by the turtle Tamo-chan (Love Hina) which transforms the girls into "magical" girls. Why are the cute aliens invading Earth? |
