Well Senran Kagura apparently has a sizeable female fan base. Though maybe they're there for the hometown.

shot in the dark here, but it could also be that its cast is largely women, all with leading roles and there's a relative dearth of action games, or games in general that do this.

I'm not going to make any real guesses because I've not seen any of them answering why they like it, but that could certainly be a component.

I also do not intend to be making any sort of statement on whether they should or should not like the series. Or whether anyone should or should not, really.

quote:

Perhaps the most surprising aspect of Senran Kagura's success is the audience. One glance at the character art and it's easy to concoct the mental image of a hormonally driven teenage boy pouring hours into these games purely for the titillation - but Fisher reveals that's not the reality.

"A good portion of our fanbase is actually female," he says. "Probably 30% to 40%, for sure. Age-wise, 20 to 25 is the main bracket - not teenagers. Everyone I know who plays the game and likes the series falls within that category. It's a surprising thing."

i mean if you actually ask anyone who likes the games usually the reason for it is that they like the characters, not just because it fills that role. the series producer runs everything through his wife and the games treat the cast pretty respectfully, and he's recently been receptive to finding ways to make the series appeal to women even more

I don't understand why M.D. Geist is on the suffering chart

Endorph
Jul 22, 2009

the characters are good and have decent relationships with each other, and since its a kind of trashy game it lets the female characters have traits or visual design elements that a lot of more 'normal' games might not since its not like they have to worry about turning people away

like hikage's big tattoos, or some of the characters just like, actually being really lovely people, or really rough around the edges in ways that a magical girl show or something would try to sand down

filling those roles with women allows those stories to be told as they are, and not many games do that.

An uncountable number, to be sure.
Who'd have thought that women would like things with lots of female characters with diverse personalities.

Also Moe was the best thing to happen to Touhou. Her art is real good.
