Or a stave that turns evil monters into handy little cards. Yeah.
Frequently naked androids: Shounen

I object most heartily to the first post. Chobits is a shonen anime, not a shoujo. Cardcaptors is about as close as you can get to a genre definition of Shoujo, though.Frequently naked androids: Shounen

Ok, yeah it has fan-service. That means it can cater to guys and girls. But seriously, it's about a love story, it's filled with cute stuff and it's drawn by CLAMP (don't bring up Miyuki-chan).
I've read the whole thing and honestly, it's more shoujo than anything. The story is 100%. The art is half and half.
P.S. You should be slapped for using the horrible 4kids name instead of the title of the good series.

You're right. I'm so, so ashamed (Admitedly the 4kids version was my first exposure to CS).
However, I stand by my original post. Chobits is certainly a shounen title. Romance alone doesn't make something Shoujo (Consider Inuyasha), and being from Clamp *certainly* doesn't. They do a fair amount of shounen or mixed work.
As for cute stuff, that's mostly unviersal for Clamp titles. And even it is rather toned down in Chobits (Try comparing Chobits to Magic Knights Rayearth 
)
Of course, the bottom line is that there's no iron guidelines for what is shounen, or shoujo, or seinen (Which is the actual catagorization of the magazine that originally published Chobits). It's just a genre and marketing generalization.
Bloody, violent, boobies all over the place... but... wtf?
It breaks my braens attempting to classify it.

The ultimate trump-card to "WTF IS THAT?" anime (Shounen vs Shoujo) would be X.Bloody, violent, boobies all over the place... but... wtf?

omg BEST SERIES EVAR!
BTW, the manga X > anime X.
Seriously, read the manga. I have the movie and the manga and the manga is SO much better.
But most shows match their mangas fairly well, with the exception of Hellsing and some others.

They're plastic. That's GOT to be some kind of plastic body suit.
Look at the gleam on the bit of exposed thigh... but there's no line at the neck... THIS WOMAN MUST BE MADE OF PLASTIC

That's what I thought too. But as you have pointed out, there's no line at the neck!
I for one, welcome our new female plastic masters!

This insanity brought to you by Nae:
She's wearing shiny pantyhose/tights. Plus, if you look just under her breasts you will see a string that holds the top together. If someone had come along with scissors, she woulda busted out. Literally.
That settles it, Im hitting every Cosplay con I can find with a pair of scissors.
Oh and yeah, I generalize shoujo and shounen too. Shounen = ARRRGH WHAAA ACTION, Shoujo = happy stuff generalized.
Stuff like Love Hina, Chobits, even I dunno...Gundam 08th MS Team can have Shounen and Shoujo in it.
The picture of Chii and Sakura was perfect because it's all happy and frilly and d'awww. And I was making fun of Naruto (the character) for being retarded. (Not that he isn't awesome.)

No long, wandering thread about anime is ever wasted.
This principle explains pretty much every anime board ever created by man.
Might just be the makeup.
