MODERATORS
I have never seen Death Note, and don't intend to, but the primary target audience for like, 99.8% of all anime is teenagers. So hearing that it tries to appeal to that isn't all that shocking, honestly.
It all depends on the anime itself, really.
You can say the target audience for Ghibli films are kids, but the ones who get the most out of them are adults.
Many of the anime I would consider the best, would include themes I couldn't really understand the nuances of as a teenager, or even as a young adult, yet are published in Shonen/Young Jump.
Naww. Your numbers don't track.
