You can still have an all female anime cast and not have it aimed at men, I mean it has happened before. You even mentioned in your secret.

Whatever, I still want a lesbian ice skating anime and nothin' is gonna change that.

Eh. As a teenage girl I liked K-ON! and Madoka Magica because I thought it was about girl power and female friendships, turns out the demographic in Japan is aiming for adult men, not young girls.

Then I found out that lots of anime that have a majority female cast were made by men for men. Even if there wasn't any overt fanservice, they like it for the waifu's. It just grosses me out

most of the K-ON! anime staff, including the director, were women though

Yeah K-On! was meant to have wide appeal.

But it was aimed at men.

This is all in marketing? It doesn't mean that the creators themselves have that in mind when producing their series. Pretty much every late night anime markets first and foremost toward men, that's just the way it is sadly. If women get into it too, that marketing will shift to include products more distinctly geared toward women.

Madoka Magica was written to appeal to all demographics, word of god intended. The marketing et al may have pegged it as 'for dudes', but authorial intent wasn't that. And it worked, as it's very popular among women in Japan. Heck they just released a PMMM themed women's underwear line.

There's a lot of anime distinctly written for dudes but I get the impression that the creators of PMMM just wanted to tell a story. Plus, it's not all dudes. 1/2 of the Magica Quartet, the team behind the series, is women.

Yeah that what I always assumed? Like all the PMMM haters will list "it's aimed towads a male audience!!" as some kind of giant flaw, even though I've never seen a source to this claim and everything I've heard from the behind-the-scenes has no evidence to this.

And I mean, even if it WERE intended just for dudes, it still had well written female characters who wern't sexulized. I still don't see the promblem.

You should check out Amanchuu that's coming out this summer. Diving anime about two girls, and pretty much all I can find about the manga is that it's SUPER lesbian subtexty.

It may be more ho-yay, but it may not, since many series seem to be Going There lately.
