Do women like Yu Yu Hakusho and Hunter x Hunter?

Maybe a silly question but my girlfriend is an anime newbie but her 12y/o daughter loves stuff like Demon Slayer and MHA. We watched the Last Airbender and Korra together and they both loved those. My girlfriend really liked '97 Berserk. (Daughter not watching that one yet lol)

Secondary question, is it sexist that I keep thinking I should show them FruBa or Inuyasha next? 😁

As a woman I love HunterxHunter.

redditbdum2026-01-24 18:12

I know multiple women that like them.

Salty1452026-01-24 19:00

That’s more women than I know period.

Yeah Id say hxh is enjoyable by anyone that doesnt have a fear of very humanoid ants.And no it snot sexist to think about showing them animes that maybe marketed towards girls it is sexist to restrict them to it (like saying boys cant wear pink)

I’ve never seen YYH but I like HxH. The only thing that bothers me is hisoka’s character 👀

Nettysocks2026-01-24 18:18

My partner loves HxH, YYH she didn’t, but I think that’s more to the show than her gender

I'm a woman and Hunter x Hunter is my fourth-favorite anime of all time. Haven't seen YYH yet, but I definitely plan on getting around to it soon.

>Secondary question, is it sexist that I keep thinking I should show them FruBa or Inuyasha next? 😁

Thinking a young girl should *only* watch shoujo series and absolutely nothing else would be, but just wanting to show her something that happens to be a shoujo adaptation because you think she might like it is totally fine (Inuyasha is a shounen just like HxH, though).

Sexist would be to assume that you know better (I think).

Trying to accommodate and catering to someone is generally well viewed.

My gf loves both, especially Yu Yu Hakusho

Salty1452026-01-24 18:59

No. No woman ever out of the 4B women on the planet likes either *Hunter x Hunter* or *Yu Yu Hakusho*. Not one.

Spoken like all women have 100% the same interests...

As long as its not one of the fanservice ones, shounen and seinen anime are popular with female audiences.

I’m a girl and it’s among my favourites. Here are the main reasons I personally like it:

- How each arc is so different from the rest and how naturally each leads into the next.
- That all four main characters don’t have the same goal and in actual line with that, aren’t forced to remain with each other all the time.
- Killua and Gon’s friendship: And it isn’t just thrown in there. There’s the subtle buildup so that all that drama ensues in a certain arc.
