@@JanitorAntisocial Though, "shojo" and "shoujo" are not homophones but I guess for a speaker of a language which doesn't have phonemic vowel length they might sound almost like homophones.
A very good skill for both interveiwers and parents. People love explaining things to others, so as a journalist that's how you can get someone to talk more than perhaps they intended. And as a parent or uncle/aunt that's how you can make a kid feel like they're so smart.
I think that's just cause it's a company made by English speaking people. People tend to ignore when vowels get extended in Japanese and just have it as one vowel. Sayounara being shortened to sayonara and arigatou being shortened to arigato
The way I see it "Shoujo" or "Shōjo" are the corrent romanizations of the japanese word "girl", while "Shojo" is an english loanword from japanese specefically for the genre of shoujo manga/anime that happens to overlap/clash with the romanization of the japanese word for virgin.
Did Kimi no Todoke ever finish? The manga i mean. I got to the point where the new guy showed up, which is basically where season 2 of the show. The other vug question: who tf does Ping end up with?
I love the old meme "know your anime" chart. It's difficult to illustrate in text, but it boils down to: Shounen: Targeted Audience: Young boys Actual Audience: Adult women Shoujo: Targeted Audience: Young girls Actual Audience: Adult men Seinen: Targeted Audience: Adult men Actual Audience: Young boys Josei: Targeted Audience: Adult women Actual Audience: Young girls
I don't think every mahou shoujo series is shoujo demographic. Like for example, Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica series is not really a shoujo anime it's more like a seinen anime.
@@grandethar1121 But "classically" they were made for shoujo audience (mostly at least). Madoka is different because it's newer and it's somewhat of a deconstruction of the genre.
ngl, koe not knowing what a shoujou is must be the most glitch in the matrix that we can have
Yeah koe is a FAKE anime fan. 😂😂😂
Nah, that's on brand.
Shoujo: young woman
Shounen: young man
Shojo: something else entirely.
Not gonna lie, I'm still not used to hear that voice coming from that model. But that kettle laugh....this does bring a smile to my face
You just gotta watch more. She IS the Rising Vtuber of the Year after all :)
As someone learning japanese, I swear every word is one syllable off of an inappropriate word
I always thought homophones were scary enough in English to tell apart but then I look at the Japanese language and my eyes just roll back.

Don't call the baaba baba
@@seneca983 Learning english coming from a language with only one "i" vowel I was always worried when I had to say "sheet" or "beach".
Koe going there feigning ignorance like he's not a stinky otaku.

This entire interview was solid gold. Seriously, go check it out. They really bounced off each other and told some great stories.
Call 110, a tea kettle has been murdered.
Koe loves La Virgencita, got it.
Truly a Boricua moment.
classic, its also hilarious that VShojo is called that and not VShoujo
Exactly, which is why it's okay to have guys in there too.
*looks at Vshojo talent* Hilarious, and borders on false advertising.
In Ksons words "V Virgins"

He got that pronounciation corrected right QUICK!!!!
Spanish and Japanese have very similar sounds and pronunciations so for Spanish's speakers is usually relatively to get the correct pronunciation.
u know what it is funny, henya did this same thing before talking about this word and the name of the group she was getting in the V"shojo"
Its OFFICIAL KOE LUVS Virgen's....)
I don't blame it
KIMI NI TODOKE SEASON 3 THIS 2024 HYPE!!!!!!
Season 3?? Why? It tied up nicely at the end of season 2.
Honestly 100 % recommend Kimi ni todoke, the first season at least. And there's coming a new season this year
I’ve heard this explained multiple times and I still don’t get it
Vvirgins
Did Kimi no Todoke ever finish? The manga i mean. I got to the point where the new guy showed up, which is basically where season 2 of the show. The other vug question: who tf does Ping end up with?
Kimi ni Todoke is good but Sloooooooooow in romance 😅
....So VShojo is-
It's still supposed to be V-Girls, not V-Virgins. They have just decided to not write the long vowel for some reason.
No but for real, Kamisama Kiss? Ouran High School Host Club? Yona of the Dawn? Literally any mahou shoujo? Shoujo rocks

I think after madoka, most magical girl anime is for boys. Only stuff that's for kids like precure is still for girls

I also love V処女 😂
