die4ever@retrolemmy.com@retrolemmy.com don’t change according to reception
I cannot remember the title off the top of my head but I remember reading about at least one manga that changed the magazine it was serialised in to reach a different audience segment.
Doesn’t seem very meaningful for us.
Disagree. I found it useful.
After watching a substantial amount of anime, I noticed - based on my AniList stats - that I enjoy seinen anime more than those of shounen and shoujo. (You can guess which demographic I am a part of.)
This made it easier for me to seek out anime that fit my taste - though it certainly is a self-reinforcing loop.
I’d still check shounen / shoujo anime out; they simply have a higher bar to clear.

It’s both. It’s telling you “hey, if you’re a teenage boy you’re more likely to like this.” It’s also telling you that the writing is less likely to be difficult to read or understand. Once you’re familiar with what gets published for these demographics it tells you all sorts of things, really.
