Seinen series?

Perhaps I do not understand the meaning of seinen correctly, but.. I don't think Bincho-tan and Strawberry Panic can fall under it. 148.78.245.12 05:34, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

They got serialized in seinen magazines, so they are young men's manga. ChuChu

No Anime?

Why does the list only include manga when there seinen anime as well? For instance, Ergo Proxy is a seinen anime without a manga. I understand not mixing anime into the manga list, but it seems strange to me that there is only manga listed on a page linked to by the anime page. Some of the posts on this talk page seem to indicate that there was once such a list, or am I wrong? If there was, why was it deleted? --Eruhildo 21:53, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think this needs to be discussed further instead of constantly ignored. The first issue I have is with consistancy. Both the Shounen and Shoujo articles cite the genre as pertaining to both animé and manga. The Shounen article even lists animé titles. Second issue: What's used to classify a series. I don't think serialization should be the 'be-all, end-all gospel truth'. Taking Darker than Black as an example, this animé series does have a companion manga, but is serialized in a shoujo magazine. Anybody who's seen this series will agree that there's nothing shoujo about it. Does that mean it's shoujo? -Biokinetica 08:44, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Seinen list vs Seinen category

As mentioned in a few posts above, the Seinen list should be replaced by the Seinen category. If I find the time I'll go through the list and see that they are in the category, and afterwards replace the list with a link to the category (for an example of what I have in mind see Viz_Media#Anime_manga_and_films_distributed_by_Viz). In case you object, post it here. Ninja neko 12:16, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I went ahead and switched the list with the category, hope I worded it correctly. Ninja neko 19:37, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's much better than how it was before. The list didn't look very good and didn't make that much sense here. Thanks for the hard work! --Eruhildo 21:01, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is not Seinen!

I took the liberty of removing a good number of titles from that list. Titles like Azumanga Daioh or Oh! My Goddess are most certainly not Seinen. --Mr.SmartyPants 2:55, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Edit: I did not see the archives. I apologize for the deletions. Hopefully the page can be restored (Though I don't agree that a lot of the titles listed are considered Seinen). Frick, there's a lot of debate among what is and isn't Seinen. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.49.32.235 (talk • contribs).

Yes: Ah! My Goddess is Seinen (show in TBS Fri 01:55 midnight and from Afternoon magazine, a seinen manga) Abacovt 05:13, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
