At a lack of anything else to do, I'm making a list of Anime Quircks, inspired by a list by theblackERspot
SHONEN
1. There are usually swords
2. If the lead couple ever kisses, it will be in an OVA, movie, or final episode
3. More on that, it usually either, isn't remembered later, is done wile one person is uncounciouse, it was because of a life threatening situation, one or both kissing parties dies
4. The lead couple hate each other wen they meet but have to work together
5. There is usually another woman in the way of the male lead's perfect match,
6. Ironically enough, they are usually freinds,
7. There's atleast one poor, pathetic boy in love with the lead feale who is constantly pushed away, obliviouse to his true love (actually, that can be the case with Shoujo as well,)
8. One of the two girls that the male lead likes has nowen him for a very long time, the other one was met by fate
9. And that other one is the female lead who fans want to be with the male lead most,
10. The male and female leads always fight, duh!
11. The male lead always has a sob story *atleast one)
12. The female lead usually does too, not always
13. On occasions the female lead will confess her love of the male lead to her freinds and then deny it later (and has usually already denied it earlier)
14. Shonen is generally agiast marrige, except for side charectors who appear in one maybe two episodes but are not relevent to the main story
15. The second lead couple will have less sappy moments than the lead, and yet will either, confess their love, get married, get engaged, or kiss, before the leads
16. There are usually three or four couples that the audiance likes, however, most of them won't get many fluffy moments, and atleast one of those people is going after one of the leads through most (if not all) of the story
17. The female lead has (or will gain) some sort of healing ability, sometimes the second female lead will too, sometimes all females will
18. The story usually takes place in a diffrent time or demention (atleast some of the time)
19. A main or well liked charector will die near or at the end
20. They are usually longer than Shoujo
SHOUJO
1. There is some reason that the female lead cannot fall in love with the male lead, but has anyway,
2. The female lead will be very proper towards the male lead
3. The female lead will atleast ounce break down in tear in front of the male lead
4. There's usually another male chasing after the female lead
5. The female lead probably dosen't like him
