Allaiyah's definitions
Concidered a blasphemy against anime by otaku, amerime & it's french-canadian counterpart kanadime incorprate a highly unskilled attempt to resemble anime.
Kappa Mikey & Avatar the Last Air Bender are perfect ecamples of amerime. Teen Titans is marginally disqualified for actually being made in asia.

Get the amerime mug.Commonly just BL is the replacement for Shounenai. Americans seem to have difficulty telling the difference, so here it is.
SA: The men are always effeminate both in appearence & personality, gay men didn't like it much, & unhappy endings were common. Contrary to perhaps even my own previous postings, this art is not COMPLETELY dead, some shounenai slips through the press. If it's new & fots this description, it's still shounenai.
BL: These days the men are more masculine both in looks & tude, gay men like it too, it's usually less dramatic, more sexual, & tends to end happily.

Shounenai: Ibu no Musukotachi, Kaze to Ki no Uta, & anything else from the 70s & early 80s.
Boyslove: Ai no Kusabi, BNSH, Gravitation, Fake, Ja-Dou, Psycho Blast.
Border line: Anything that lived through both periods. For example, Patalirro, Zetsuai, & Eroica are STILL being written & have made distinct changes to fit the times.

"It's too bad this book was a one-shot. It had such a promising story line."
"Too bad the movie was a one-shot. It would have made a great series."

Get the One-shot mug.A person who doesn't give a crap about politics, who doesn't vote, who doesn't watch news, & probably doesn't even know the president's name.
Despite not caring about the politics of their own country, antipolis may be very interested in many or one other country, others are totally self-absorbed (one man is his own nation), & many others simply just plain don't like being lied to & don't trust people known for lying.

Many antipolis are accused of being anarchists, but anarchists are way beyond antipoli; taking action agaisnt government. Some Antipoli 'claim' to be anarchists, but they're either confused or posers.

Get the Staba mug.Retro term once used in Japan to depics softcore romantic relationships between men, aimed for women's entertainment (& not for mockery either). Some people who have touble adjusting or reading Japanese or staying updated still call it Shounenai, but now it's called BL.
Go to Google.om, switch settings to Japanese language only, type in BL. You'll gets tons & tons of links. For you buffs who know katakana & cut-&-paste, try adding wods like gallery & illust for picture BL sites.

Get the shounenai mug.No matter how you spell it, english or kanji, you will get NOTHING on shounenai on a Japanese search engine, save dead sites refurring to retro mangas from the 70s & 80s.
