* GatewaySeries: Inuyasha was a linchpin series for introducing anime aimed at older audiences to North America. This was especially the case in Canada; while Canadian channel Creator/{{YTV}} was airing plenty of kid-targeted shows in 2003, Inuyasha pulled in such good ratings on weekday evenings (along with ''Anime/GundamWing'') that YTV would launch the ''Bionix'' block the next year, with ''Inuyasha'' as the cornerstone.

** Both the manga and the anime became very popular in North America during the mid to late 2000s; the series' EstrogenBrigade in North America is also much larger than its intended audience of [[ShonenDemographic teenage boys]], and it was once considered the most popular girls' anime, matched only by ''Franchise/SailorMoon''. The anime is particularly popular in Canada, as it and ''Anime/GundamWing'' helped kick off the airing of teen-oriented anime on the Creator/{{YTV}} network, and it helps that both shows were dubbed in English by Creator/TheOceanGroup, which is a Canadian company.

What Do You Mean Its Not For Little Girls is for series with cute aesthetics that are aimed at adult men, not shonen action series.


* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: The series was aimed at boys in upper elementary or junior/high school, ''Shonen Sunday'''s target demographic. In the United States and Canada, the anime had to air late at night and be aimed at a late teenage/college-age audience due to its violence and nudity. The fact that Kagome is [[FullFrontalAssault attacked by a bare-breasted centipede youkai]] in the very first episode of the anime made this unavoidable.
* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForLittleGirls: Despite the series having a female lead, a focus on romance, and a huge female fanbase, it's not a shojo work. Instead, it's a shonen and its target audience is mostly male.
