Terms used by anime fandom (not all of which are real Japanese words). The links on the left lead to definitions of the term. The links to the right go to the more general term, which is where the examples go.
Anime Demographics
Anime Genres
- Hentai -> Means "pervert" or "perversion", used by English fans to label porn. (The usual terms in Japanese are "ero-manga" for comics, and "ero-anime" for animation.)
- Jidai Geki -> Historical drama, usualy Feudal Japan.
- Magical Girl (Mahou Shoujo) -> Young female superheros, often an Ordinary High School Student, gain powers and fight evil.
- Mecha -> Referring to the genre and many subgenres of giant robot shows as well as the giant robots that star in them. Usually divided into two categories.
- Real Robot Genre: Mecha Anime the usually runs on 'hard' science, or at the very least a general adherence to what would happen in real life. Hard specs for mechs are common, as are darker themes. (Examples include most iterations of Gundam, The Big O, etc.)
- Super Robot Genre: Hard specs are usually thrown out the window in favor of Rule Of Cool, Rule of Drama, and other such 'soft' science like powering your robot with love, courage, friendship, or, in a pinch high velocity music. Generally Lighter and Softer, though not always. (Examples include GaoGaiGar, G Gundam, Gurren Lagann, and the like.)
