I'll give you Penguindrum as a late night anime (and YKA obviously), but Utena aired in prime time, bro.

[iggy]

I'm not a bro. Did not know that about Utena being not late night, but is six pm considered prime time? Anyway that doesn't make it not seinen. Most late night anime are seinen, but not all seinen airs late night.

[(Anonymous)]

anon from above. I really meant that question. I'd like to know who classified Utena as "seinen"(and where and when that happened). Because I've got this vague idea that this sort of demographic oriented thing is... just not as much a thing in japan as discussions about it would like it to be. that includes discussion about it in japan by (mostly male) critics.
see, I wrote a paper some time back when I had just started university and it was about how certain anime "chose" their audience, and having known what you apparently know might put my whole point in a different light, so I'm genuinely interested.

[iggy]

It totally ISN'T as much of a thing as discussions make it out to be. That's why it bugs me about people classifying whether magical girl shows, girl centered shows, etc. are acceptable or not by whether it's seinen or shoujo/josei.

A lot of people are saying I'm wrong about Utena being seinen, and that may be the case. I remember hearing it a long time ago and seeing it referenced several times since then, but I certainly can't provide like, an interview or something.
