Shoujo/Spinoff-Sequel/Acquired Taste/Kawaii Titles

#
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). (Please credit http://animeworld.co­m/glossary.html as the source of this information; see also: ↗Wikipedia:Shoujo Manga.)

Spinoff-Sequel: (Type subgenre) This is a title which continues a series but has new or different characters and a different focus than the original. The characters from the original may be seen in cameo or supporting roles. Unlike "Spinoff", these titles would be considered canon material.

Acquired Taste: (Style) These are titles which may take a while to get used to. As such, you should watch several episodes before making up your mind.

Kawaii: (↗kawaii (可愛い) = "cute" or "adorable") If you've watched anime in Japanese, you've heard characters use the term 'kawaii'. So if the title makes you want to say that (often using ↗chibi characters, i. e. small and super-deformed), then it fits.
