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.)

The series is based on that outlook on the world and is centered about the springtime of life. It is about the individual activities of the charming heroines and their experiencing of youth. While expressing the characteristics of that time in a subtle way, the viewer is left behind with a comfortable sensation of "emotion". |

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? |
