Characters) Anime stories that involve one or more androids shaped like attractive girls.
Lolicon: (
Objectionable Content) (
↗roricon (
ロリコン) = short for "Lolita complex") This is the Japanese term for an attraction to underage girls (usually 7-16 in age though I suppose all underage girls could qualify depending on how they are "built"), the reverse of "
Shotacon". This attraction is usually by older men, but can also involve older women as well. An anime of this type has at least one underage female character in sexual (or at least sexually suggestive) scenes or doing sexual things. Related category: "
Moe". See also:

Shounen: (
Target Group) (
↗shounen (
少年) = "boy", "juvenile"; opposite of "
Shoujo") A demographic of manga readers (generally considered 10 to 16 years of age). Refers to anime based on manga that was originally serialized in a magazine targeting boys of any age. See also:
