Her channel is so underrated...she's got good videos
aot is actually a shonen anime but people tend to get it mixed up with seinen especially with the recent chapters
Psychological thrillers are amazing! An example of this would be The Promise Neverland. In this case it isn't super scary but still has to thrill and basically, it makes you think.
Yes! TPN made me think so much
Omg I was thinking about watching it! Thanks :))
Monster
I wanted to get smarter watching this show oh gosh. ALL These kids ARE CRAZY SMART
Please tell me some shows like promised neverland
Now i would like to see top 10 anime for each genres, wont mind if you already mentioned the shows before, please😁
@@inakyu Please Ina make a video on this, that would be super interesting
@@inakyu Slice of Life is also Blended in the horror count Higurashi they use it brilliantly to throw people off when they do a 360 and it turns into her nobody sees it coming sometimes please start with my experience when I was watching that anime back in the day it seems so sweet and then out of nowhere he hits you with the horror
@@inakyu there is actually a 9th genres which is just horror and like the 8th genre you mention which your psychological it can definitely overlap in hard though so both genres go hand-in-hand that would be like stuff like Higurashi or Umineko Another Shiki Corpse Party and many others probably stunned that I'm missing but I want to say actually enjoyed this video you have some very good taste in anime
@@inakyu Would you really do this? :D
As anime/manga specific genres I would classify:
fighting - usually shounen with heavy focus on action, usually also character use some sort of superpowers.
mecha - sci-fi series with giant man driven robots.
slice-of-life - following usually mundane occurrences in lives of characters, usually very relaxing
harem - single boy either just living or being pursued by multiple girls. It has various degrees of erotic content. Specific sub-genre would be reverse harem, but that is way more rare at the present
battle royal - basically deathmatch game, where characters compete against each other. Loosing usually means death.
isekai - is very wide genre and it's combined with various other tropes. Basically it's story where character or characters are from one world put into a different world. Sub categories of isekai would be trapped in RPG game, trapped in dating game, reincarnated as non-human character, summoned as hero, survival in other world.
reincarnation - character usually past hero is reborn in present day, very commonly mixes with isekai.
food - anime focusing on making and/or eating food
yuri/BL - same sex romance targeted at the opposite sex.
otherwise anime/manga has pretty much every genre sci-fi, fantasy, romance, drama, horror, action, etc. and various combinations.
Shounen, shoujo, seinen, josei are more about demographic.
After spending so much time watching anime. Now knowing what specific genres I actually enjoy will make continuing to watch and explore new shows. Thanks alot
This is a super fun and informative video!! I love Seinen and Isekai the most personally. Another anime specific genre I would add is Josei, although it gets grouped together with Shoujo a lot. Josei is basically romance/dark drama for adult women, like 'Nana' and 'Princess Jellyfish'
Yeah, there are a bunch of missing genres in this video that are completely unique to anime, and several mentioned in the video that are not at all unique to anime. Yuri, Yaoi, Iyashikei, Mahou Shoujo, Harem, and CGDCT all come to mind as genres that are truly unique to anime unlike sports and psychological which you can find in western media.
The BEST anime type: Cory in the House
I love seeing Appa on your desktop 🥺
yip yip

Attack on titan is apparently a seinen animes which is for adult men...
I’m a young girl and I’ve watched it :/
Yup same I watched it when I was a young teen girl too, the categories “for boys” or “for girls” are outdated, the terms are only really important to describe the themes, watch whatever you want :)
lmao same
I'm 12 this year and i already watched it :)
@@garryding3292 samee, i’m 12 now but i watched it when i was 11
Actually its a shounen for first 3 parts yk
Thank you for the clarification! I've recently gotten into Anime (Seinfeld, Frasier, The Simpsons) and it's a lot to take on.
Fr tho I love the diverse yet identifiable art styles within anime and I want to incorporate some of those elements into my creative work. Thanks for the roadmap!
Really excited to find this video! I am working on a training for public librarians on anime, and this video is perfect for explaining genres to them, and giving me a break from talking!!! Thank you!!!
When I'm 13 and a girl but I've watched and enjoyed all the seinin anime she make an example out of
Is it like brutal? I’m 14 and it’s like 18+ anime so I’m not surE about consuming it
@@ipsitaparida4471 I mean I watched attack on titan at 14 and it was okay, yes its violent but honestly not that bad, just not for anyone under 12 I’d say
@@ipsitaparida4471 beware AOT will likely give you pads
love your channel you've helped me be introduced into anime I now love! You have a great editing style and overall great quality content!
your channel is sooo helpful!! you explain the genres and tropes so well
You are extremely underrater with such good editing.You NEED more subscribers asap
I absolutely love your videos, I'm definitely going to try to watch all of the ones you recommend
Yes! I've made it one of my resolutions to watch more anime genres xD This video was really well made, it's really nice ^^ Have you been watching Promised Neverland S2? ^^
@@inakyu No problem, it's true! ^^ YESSSS! I knew stuff was going to go down in the last episode, it was too calm in the first half xD Can't wait for next weeks one :D
Shounen and seinen is the best..🎉❤
One great Psychological anime is Ergo Proxy. you can't describe why in one sentence, almost by each episode you watch it, the scope of what you thought was the boundaries of the show, expand until you reach the final episode. It's amazing in almost every way possible. Very good mystery and psychological anime.
thank you for the upload its a blessing
Well done. ❤ Really good guide. Started with another guy that talked too much and never got to the point. Glad i listened to this. Thanks
im happy you included Bloom Into You 💗
I love listening to you talk about anime!
You have a great presence and are very articulate and explain well!!
i hope you keep making videos 🥺💜
You just earned a subscriber with this amazing video
4:30 "Dragon Ball Z" shows jojo's bizarre adventures golden wind.
hajime no ippo is also a great sports anime, you should try it out. and yeah great work!
They explained this great, thank you.
Please let me know where you got that desktop wallpaper from (appa), I have found various similar ones but cant find that exact one. Also great vid, really good recommendations.
SUPPORT FROM SHIMMY DISCORD!!! #1 FAN FROM CANADA LET'S GOOOOOOO
Another amazing video, pls keep it up
Hi Sabrina. . You just gained a new sub today. All thanks to your hypnotic voice. As much as you dislike sports, your voice reminds me of Hana Ichijo from Ao Ashi... The memories came flooding back. 🥺.... WOW...
Isekai always interest me fr - SUPPORTING YOU FROM SHIMMY'S DISCORD FAM! 💜💜💜💜
@@inakyu does Digimon count in isekai because they go in a digital world?
It can also be blended into horror case in point Higurashi it's used to throw people off so when they use the horror in that anime they are caught off guard
This video was very helpful, tysm
Thank you for this video! Been wanting to branch out of the normie Shounen bubble! Sports Anime, Isekai and Seinen here I come.
i like your humor damn im binge watching your videos @3am
Death Parade was awesome. I'm binging on Sword Art Online right now.
I have a request for a video that look at "the insane stalker", somewhat like "doki doki ". My favorite is "Future Diary".
If you haven’t already seen love, chunibyo, and other delusions, it is a pretty good shoujo anime.
I loved the way you expressed it all
And I am big fan of you now !!
Well my favourite genre is Seinen , psychological and shounen ...........
Has anybody watched hyouka in here ???
I just had my brain imploded by Madoka Magica and figured I needed an anime tutor 😭
Yessss plssss I need more stuff like terror in resonance
Another anime genre that I would love to add here is magical girl or mahou shoujo and it mostly centered around young girls who possess magical abilities, that they typically use through an ideal alter ego into which they can transform.
Notable examples of magical girl anime that I could think of are Sailor Moon, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Princess Tutu, Cardcaptor Sakura, Pretty Cure and Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch.
I like how you ain go full on main stream with these recommendations
I kind of like the whole entire Dragon Ball franchise except for GT and Dragon Ball as a franchise had some moments that we're kind of dark and gritty moments even for shounen and I loved every moment
Can you recommend manga? I’ve really gotten into those lately and it would be nice to have that anime beginner type of video for manga
I’m currently reading the maid Sama manga because I just couldn’t get enough of it after the anime season 1 ended lol
(Maybe you don’t read manga and that’s fine but it was worth a shot you know)
Do you still want manga recommendations?
OMG Appa behind you!!!
My favorite type of anime are reverse harems, and yaoi 😭
There is a cuberpunk too!
Loved toradora finished it a couple of weeks ago
I love shounen and shoujo anime’s the most I don’t know why but also hxh was the first anime I’ve every watches so that probably what started it all
I think I like psychological anime, I want to get into shounen and slice of life more tho
So what would food wars be classified as just a question
When it comes to sports non of the anime ( in my point of view ) has beaten hajime ni ippo its so good so detailed at some point you think that if you watch it ,its like a full guide and you are ready for that sport without any professional training 😂😂😂 dont try this its just a feeling after watching this
how do u only have 945 subscribers wtf
Well i love Psychological, Shonen and Seinen!
I just want some anime like wattpad fanfiction dark story HELP
You missed Josei
Which is my personal favourite genre
Request : Anime terms
O yeah, Comedy genre are my favorite Animes
what's the name of the anime in 2:38 to 2:43? :(
Currently watching inuyasha and cardcaptor sakura
Oregairu one of my all time fav
Recommendation
Fruit basket
sorry man i loved the video but i just feel the need to say that some anime you cited for the shojo and seinen demographic are not in those categories: bloom into you and the toradora manga adaptation were both published in dengeki daioh magazine, which is a shonen magazine, and also devilman's original manga and attack on titan's were published on shonen magazines
i get that usually more mature and gore-y action are more widespread in seinen, and introspective character driven romance is more a stereotypical shojo thing, so its easy to mix things up
(and also anime being broadcast on tv might not even follow the original manga demographics gsgsgkgh i mean yeah i dont even wanna get into analyzing tv timeslots to understand anime demographics-- its useless to ppl outside japan watching stuff on streaming anyways)
What do u call a mixture of shonen and shoujo
i should try to watch rezero
Can anyone tell me what is the anime with the guy hugging the girl through the window?
soul eater!
Just realised there aren’t many josei anime on the whole and horror. I think that, shoujo, dark comedy and psychological/horror and horror are on the decline and it’s sad.
also one question.... would you stop watching anime because of how much it hurts you and rips your heart out? Or the void it either fills or makes inside of you?😭 idk I’m kinda scared and I need a friend like you to guide me through the anime world😂❤️ (I am in middle of exam season but I can’t wait I need to watch something😭 ig imma start then promised neverland what do you think??)
Watch some of the good ones:
Ergo Proxy
@@siegpasta woww um thank you so much. People have told me I only watch anime because it’s ‘trendy’ now but I really wanted to venture into the underrated, good anime that not a lot of people and talking about... I lost interest for anime for a second but thanks to you I have a couple more anime added to my watch list. Again, thank you and have a great day
@@ipsitaparida4471 These used to be the popular ones back in the day XD
Most of them at least. Also, people will say this and that. They will keep on spewing whatever garbage at their disposal. Don't let it poison your enjoyment of what you think is fun.
In other words, as long as you like it, noone else's opinion matters, instead just play the next episode and enjoy :)
I’m 11 and why when she said examples of Seinen anime I knew 2 of the 3
Are there any josei anime?
Isn't AoT categorised under shonen? I'm confused...
Yes, you're right, I was wondering that too!
💖💖💖
What about Josei anime? It’s audience is for women 18-45 :)
I haven’t seen much Josei, but aren’t a lot of them adapted into live action?
No death note for psychological anime
3:17 I need to know the name of this Anime Vampires!!!
not me taking notes like i'm gonna midoriya my way through life,,,
I thought there were only 5 types of anime - Shounen, Seinen, Shoujo, Josei & Kodomomuke... And others are genres 🤔
Not sure why you didn't mention the single greatest Slice of Life anime (Drake and Josh) but whtevr
There are some misinformation in the video.
Shjo , shonen an Seinen aren't genre , But demographic , they indicate the type of Magazine the manga was serialized , not their content.
More precisely, they indicate the level of reading necessary to read the kanji , shonen manga have furigana to help the shonen reader in his reading (cuz he's supposed to be in high school and not having complete his study of kanji) , Seinen manga haven't furigana cuz the reader is supposed to have completed his study of kanji and the shojo manga have a more simplied vocabulary .
Anything is Shojo , shonen and Seinen as long it's serialized in a shojo, shonen or Seinen magazine. A shojo , a shonen and a Seinen can be anything .
In fact a large portion of slice of life manga like K-ON and Girl's last Tour, are Seinen.
Psychological manga like Death Note and TPN are shonen.
Devilman is a horror, dark fantasy manga and is a shonen.
Detective Conan, an investigation manga is a shonen.
A lot of sports manga are Seinen and shonen.
Sukeban Deka is a violent manga about a girl investigating with blood is a shojo.
And the target demographic can only be used for manga , not anime.
Ultimate heroes and Villains incredible gods and goddess awesome demons
Yuri on ice is an awesome anime 😊
Is 'A Wisker Away' Isekai?
I'm watching it AAKASH
Technically your horror is still not technically psychological it's more of an extreme genre just like in the movies when you see psychological it's not considered the in the genre is horror do they can sometimes overlap so why argue that there is a 9th genre in it's called horror like Higurashi it's a straight-up horror anime Corpse Party Shiki another and many others so Billy there's a 9th genre which is just straight-up car
alright then ill start with the psychological anime first then after ill start watching iseaki animes
Where is Kodomo
My favourite type is you , just you 😍
Okay but why do have matching appa wallpapers...?
@@inakyu thanks, me too
Im a 13 year old boy and I like phycological or sheinin
TOP 10 SHOUJO ANIME
Demon type anime to?
I saw Levi, I clicked ❤️
Can somebody tell me what type of anime is Danganrompa supposed to be😃

But you skipped Kodomomuke. World Masterpiece Theater is probably the best type of Anime.
I love how she calls people who don't watch anime "normal people"...
Darling in the franxx is amazing but! Beware you will suffer from pads and cry once it’s over.
watch bungo stray dogs 🛐 please
