Today we learn about Demographic

What is a demographic?

Demography is a classification companies created by for gaining more money or popularity by Targeting a single age group, rather than targeting everyone,
 
Based on Age the demographic is classified into 5 types:-
Kodomo (for children, <13)
Shounen (for boys, 13-18)
Shoujo (for girls, 13-18)
Seinen (for men, 19-40+)
Josei (for women 19-40+)

Many popular shounen started in Shounen Jump, a magazine intended to be read by boys in their teens and is catering to its demographic in very specific ways.

Shounen:-the demographic who's targeted audience is teen boys,

Battle Shounen:-A shounen where a male protagonist with a focus on The Hero’s Journey or underdog style plotlines, usually featuring fan-service, team work, and lots of high-impact visual effects, e.g. One Piece, Narutoand bleach.

The distinction arises between Battle Shounen and “Shounen” as a demographic when one considers the massive concentration of romance series, such as Nisekoi,Horimiya and Kaguya sama love is war ,

Shoujo:-the demographic who's targeted audience is teen girls.

Shoujo Romance:- a type of series that often hosts a female protagonist with a focus on her emotional unraveling upon encountering and ultimately securing a usually inaccessible (by way of being popular or of a higher rung of society) male love interest, usually featuring lots of sparkles, flowery visual effects, and love triangles,e.g:- fruit basket.

Seinen:-the demographic who's targeted audience is Adult man.

Seinen Classic:-“mature” rung of dramas, such as works dealing with the psychological, the occult, or gritty crime dramas, e.g. Berserk, Monster.
Seinen Gag hummor:- gag comedies, such as K-On! and Himouto Umaru-chan, or works doused with comical eroticism, such as Kiss x Sis and Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai.

Josei:-the demographic who's targeted audience is Adult Women.

“Josei Drama”:-  a type of series that often portrays an older female protagonist while centering its focus on her sexual unraveling as she falls in love during her pursuit of her career, usually featuring a slow pace, theatrical dramatics, and plenty of attractive older men, e.g. Paradise Kiss, Nodame Cantabile, etc.
This demographic isn’t very popular,

kodomo:- the demographic who's targeted audience is kids.
In less obvious instances, darker themes or more crass humor can be found throughout children’s programming that wouldn’t fly elsewhere, such as some of storylines in the Lovecraftian Digimon Tamers or the raunchy comedy of Crayon Shin-chan. Simply handwaving children’s programming as immature or incapable of appealing to adult viewerships is a mistake found throughout Western audiences.
