Hey, thanks for commenting! I'm not on Mixi, but I'll check it out. Finding Japanese-speaking fans to take the survey is going to be a major challenge. And the 49ers are always good! ^^ (Okay, so I only know Moto Hagio and Riyoko Ikeda...all the more reason to learn from the folks who really know their stuff!)
And I still say that if one wants to look at the female side of things (especially multiple flavors thereof--not just fujoshi doing doujinshi of shounen anime series that are currently airing), one needs to start with manga, not anime.
I'm beginning to get that impression. Manga is a whole 'nother fandom unto itself, isn't it? But animation is really my first love, and as a female anime fan, I'm interested in how women do engage with anime when it isn't a primary practice of "female" fandom. Hence, the fujoshi. Someday I hope I'll find time to read all those manga classics I'm missing out on...
