there are many girls are watching anime because of these sometimes absurd yet true reason, "OMG, syaoran is so cute, from now on I'll watch Tsubasa" then after the series, they'll say "define anime!" for boys, here's there line, "Dude, have you seen Bleach, it's f****** hardcore", it's like only Bleach is the only anime tht existed for them...
More girls are likely to watch drama and romance, while action and shounen are aimed at guys, but girls watch them as well. I can say it's more likely that guys probably watch more ecchi than girls, but that doesn't mean girls don't (like myself).
between 40% and 60%While it's difficult to pinpoint the exact number, estimations say somewhere between 40% and 60% of the global population watches anime. Although its beginnings date back to the 1960s, anime didn't gain its current popularity until the last couple of decades, and it's been growing ever since.
Even though shounen and seinen manga and anime may be targeted toward men and some of most well-known are created by men, that doesn't mean women won't be interested. In fact, some of the most well-known manga and anime franchises aimed at men are created by women.

Another trend in the way shôjo manga were published was also intimately linked to the nature of the genre. Because readers looked for works that clicked with them personally, they were not happy to simply read what everyone else was reading. As a result, shôjo manga became increasingly niche oriented.
However, Thorn's claim that "the bulk of young male readers gravitated to just three weekly magazines: Jump, Magazine, and Sunday. Boys were concentrated in a vertical column, all reading virtually the same manga, whereas girls were spread out horizontally" throws a wrench into that hypothesis.
Thorn reports that the origin of the segregation of shounen and shoujo happened in 1902: The roots of both shôjo and boys'manga can be traced to early magazines for children —boys and girls alike—which began to appear in the late 19th century, reflecting the Meiji era effort to encourage literacy.
So most Japanese do not read manga as adults, and most who had a dream of being a mangaka gave up on it. Teens and adults who are involved in subculture are generally viewed negatively by the general populace, and many are socially-awkward or hikikomori (a consumer demographic which is uncommon in the U.S.).
The extinction of the printed magazine is inevitable: not a matter of “if” but “when.” . . . Even those who work in the giant manga publishing houses--Shueisha, Shogakukan, Kodansha--acknowledge that those corporations are dinosaurs, massive and slow, unable to turn quickly or adapt to sudden changes in environment.
