Shoujo or Shounen?

DNAngel is a Shoujo.
Lol, I thought it was a Shoujo when I read vol.1 of the manga, but how wrong was I?
Here are some of my faves....
~ Bleach (Shonen)
~ Cardcaptor Sakura (Shoujo)
~ Tsubasa Reservior Chronicles (Shonen)
~ Chobits (Shonen)
~ Tokyo Mew Mew (Shoujo)
~ Cyber Idol Mink (Shoujo)
~ Mouryoukiden; legend of the Nymp (Not sure, but I think it's a Shoujo)
~ Hyper Rune (Not sure, but I think Shonen cos of the action)
~ Gohou Drug/Legal Drug (?)
~ Kamichama Karin (Shoujo)
~ Pita Ten (I think Shonen)

Chobits and Pita-Ten seem more Shoujo...
Cardcaptor Takato:
Chobits is a seinen (young men's) series. It even says in the back of the English versions of the Chobits manga that Clamp wrote it for men. Chobits has too much sexual humor and fanservice to be anything close to shoujo.

So it was made for the pervs. -__- What about Pita Ten?

I must say I agree with this. I adore shounen and shoujo. I read/ watch both, and I can't really decide which I like better. I adore almost any series in Shounen Jump, but I also enjoy things like Ouran High School Host Club, Fruits Basket, and Peach Girl. Ultimately, though, after all the sugary sweetness that can be found in shojo, I need to balance it out with some wholesome scenes of destruction and chaos found in shounen. :P

Shoujo. Because shoujo animes are more focused in character development than the shounen ones, i think. o.o But a shounen anime can have a lot of psychology too. ^^
Also, most of my favorite animes are in shoujo genre...
