Multiple Demographic Appeal	comment	A work that is deliberately crafted to contain elements that appeal to multiple demographic groups, resulting in them all watching it. For example, a show might be an epic fantasy filled with explosive action sequences that are broken up with romantic subplots and has any overly serious moments lightened by some dark humor. Oh, and a dash of fanservice. With all of that, you've got your fantasy lovers, testosterone junkies, your bleeding heart romantics, the British, and those who are just here for a good time, if you know what I mean. Compare with Periphery Demographic, where a work unintentionally attracts a non-intended demographic. The line between a show that simply has a Periphery Demographic and a show with Multiple Demographic Appeal is a little blurry, as the former can become the latter should the powers that be decide to cultivate that expanded audience. Plus, without Word of God, it can be hard to know what elements are there because the creator just liked them or because some executive knew it would attract a certain audience. As such, this is a bit of a YMMV trope, though maybe one way to tell the difference is in the merchandise: if the merchandise for your work includes not just lunch boxes, action figures, and clothing, but also collectible figurines, fully-featured home video releases, and vinyl records, then you definitely have a Multiple Demographic Appeal show... or just an acknowledged Periphery Demographic. See? Blurry. Misguided Executive Meddling in pursuit of a wider demographic may result in removing what made it appeal to the original core audience, without ever appealing to this "extra" market. This is the origin of the infamous Romantic Plot Tumor, as executives remain convinced that women cannot possibly enjoy an action-centered film for itself, despite all evidence to the contrary. See also Lowest Common Denominator, where products try to appeal to as wide a demographic as possible, and Parental Bonus, where kids' shows include elements to make parents enjoy watching as well. Uncertain Audience is when this is done in a way that results in the appeals to various demographics coming in conflict with one another.

Multiple Demographic Appeal / int_11b7db91	comment	Adventure Time has enough Fantasy/Science Fiction elements to attract the fans of both genres, and it also includes enough random humor and slapstick to attract kids and teens. Additionally, it also contains enough Parental Bonus to receive the attention of more mature audiences. Also it has a couple of romantic and musical elements. It got to the point where the series briefly aired on [adult swim] in February 2019.

The basic premise was similar to RoboCop or a gender-inverted Bionic Woman, but the writers tried to throw in too many genres, including modern and retro sci-fi, comedy, espionage and family drama. Its cancellation had a lot to do with the fact that it cost a lot for a show that used action scenes sparingly.

Despite being a Shoujo manga, it definitely doesn't have the art style of one, and contains action and mystery not unlike seinen or shounen works. That's not to say that girls didn't get a kick out of it too; the male characters are charismatic and handsome, and some of the girls are enjoyable. And for anyone looking for Queer Romance, a well written one between the leads is present.

Multiple Demographic Appeal / int_1a4b3ea2	comment	Digimon is the same way. While the original digital pets were intended to be a boyish alternative to Tamagotchi, Digimon Adventure clearly appealed to more than just young boys. The aversion of The Smurfette Principle with the main cast and strong, well-written female characters (and like Pokemon, the cute mons and humans) made it appeal to young girls as well, and the surprisingly well-written story ensured a strong adult and teen following since practically the beginning. Despite being both kid-friendly (for the most part) and anime, it's usually not one to shy away from epic fights to the death either. According to Word of God, Rika Nonaka and Renamon were specifically designed with this trope in mind. Cool action girls that girls would look up to and boys wouldn't be embarrassed to buy toys of. Due to it being a deconstruction and likely also being a lot darker from Episode 34 onward, Tamers also has a significant adult following, some of who aren't even fans of the Digimon franchise as a whole. The aforementioned Renamon is also appealing to those in the furry fandom. In Digimon Frontier, Kazemon seems to be designed specifically as Ms. Fanservice. Word of God states that Digimon Adventure: (2020) was made for parents who grew up with the original to watch with their kids.

The Silver Age was in full swing in the comicbooks, so the producers adapted it to TV so that children 10 and under would watch because Batman was a cool superhero — while anyone over 16 would watch because he was campy and hilarious. And the eventual addition of Batgirl brought something for little girls and their parents.

This might suggest a female audience which likes Slice of Life with equal parts comedy and drama. But wait! There are fighting robots with swords!

But it always had something to also make for a fun read to parents and grown-ups, be it Parental Bonus, Black Comedy, or send-offs to popular media aimed at older audiences, such as a story with a child version of the Predator. The older fanbase even started complaining that in The New '10s most of the new comics seemed to be aimed only at very young children, with a tendency for the didactic and moral, while simplifying the plots, dialogue and characterization.

The colorful characters and sight gags appeal to kids and pre-teens, older animation fans can appreciate the nuanced storyline and the smart writing, adults who grew up on classic Scooby-Doo can appreciate the deconstruction of the show's classic formula, horror fans can appreciate the affectionate spoofs of famous horror icons (including everything from Saw, to H. P. Lovecraft to Twilight), and girls can appreciate the new emphasis on romance. Even the original Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! owes a lot of its continuing success to its appealing balance of horror, comedy and mystery—managing to fit in plenty of all three while still staying kid-friendly. Kids can appreciate Scooby and Shaggy's slapstick antics while also getting their first real introduction to the mystery genre, and older horror fans can appreciate the genuinely imaginative monsters (the Creeper, the Space Kook, and Charlie the Robot are particular standouts) that make it very easy to put a Darker and Edgier spin on the show in fanfiction and fan art.

The frequent late-game tone of Sugar Apocalypse in the darker games also allows the cutesy design to also appeal to more mature gamers.

Multiple Demographic Appeal / int_3b34143f	comment	Harry Potter. Partly because the fantasy elements have general appeal for people of all ages, partly because J. K. Rowling specifically intended the books to grow up with their audience, and partly because someone who read the first book as a child when it was released in 1997 would have been a young adult by the time the final one was released in 2007. This last is why criticisms of adults reading Harry Potter often miss the point, because by that logic hardly anyone who read the first book when it came out would have been able to finish the series. More specifically, the wondrous, imaginative setting appeals to children, the Epic Fantasy elements appeal to adventure lovers, the detailed relationships appeal to romance lovers, the complex mysteries and sharp (and occasionally subversive) wit appeal to adults, and the colorful characters and exciting plot developments appeal to everyone.

They've brought back actors from the first few season (who the intended kid's demographic won't recognize) and did quite a few callbacks in RPM (that younger kids wouldn't know about) and there is a rumor that they're trying to get Super Sentai to ditch the costumes for something a little less hokey (namely switching them from Spandex to a more subdued material, possibly leather like the X-Men films). They may not be trying to catch both markets (kids and the nostalgia set) but they're at least acknowledging them. Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters did ditch the spandex in favour of leather (however, Go-Busters in general somewhat underperformed, so they were switched back to spandex for the next season.)

Multiple Demographic Appeal / int_4fce2184	comment	According to a demographic report accidentally released and posted on the Net, Futari wa Pretty Cure appealed to both girls aged 4-9 and men aged 19-30. However, Shōjo has a history of having male fandoms (see Moe). Pretty Cure at its core is a fine anime to show young girls, but what brings it to this is not only the more-often-than-not well written main characters, but the occasional potshot at the genre it's a part of, and most famously, the fight scenes that would make most Fighting Series blush. This was an intentional example from Toei as it not only attracted young girls, but women, and most prominently, men of all ages to watch with them. In fact, Pretty Cure is seen as THE series paved the way for a new generation of modern day Magical Girl shows that have asskicking fights (see Nanoha above, released later in the same year) and made the genre popular again after Sailor Moon ended in the decade before. This doesn't factor in the budding Toku fanbase (it now gets packaged with Super Sentai and Kamen Rider as a Sunday block), and for a lot of young girls growing up in the early 2000s, Pretty Cure would end up being their first look into that world.

It's a Rhythm Game with RPG Elements based on collectable cards representing the various girls from the Love Live! series, but in a way that's still accessible to various different players. The RPG elements affects the main score and requires fairly in-depth knowledge to maximize for those competing in events, but all these can be ignored by those who just want the pure rhythm game experience, as it still grades based on combo length and gets fairly Nintendo Hard at times. However, many of the unlockable cards skills also provide a huge safety net for casual players who may not have the experience or reflexes for the harder beatmaps. And then there are those who are there mostly to collect cards of girls in pretty outfits (which can be enjoyed by players of all genders since they are designed for style instead of fanservice for the most part). The song selection itself encompasses a wide variety of genres, so even those not interested in the Idol Singer scene can find songs that wouldn't sound out of place in Guitar Hero. The result is a game that even those unfamiliar with Love Live! can easily get into, and may even serve as a Gateway Series for the wider franchise.

On top of that, Eugene's comedy of awkwardness draws a certain type of viewer, while Dan's queer sensibility draws another, resulting in fans across multiple demographics that appreciate family comedy, physical humor, and romantic comedy.

Multiple Demographic Appeal / int_729e2044	comment	The success of The Expendables and the failure of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is now considered an example of trying to play the demographics game and losing. The movies were released on the same week with the expectation of very little overlap between the target audiences: Scott Pilgrim would attract younger audiences, whereas The Expendables, with its heavy nostalgia for 80's action movies (including its All-Star Cast featuring multiple 80's action movie stars) would draw in older audiences. One thing they didn't consider was that, thanks to home video and syndication on cable, the younger set liked 80's movies just as much as their dads and older brothers. As such, The Expendables was a surprise hit while Scott Pilgrim (which already had some Continuity Lockout and Audience-Alienating Premise problems) underperformed. In the long run however, Scott Pilgrim would later enjoy recognition as a cult film, whereas The Expendables, after its first sequel, was left to suffer through Sequelitis, but still maintains a smaller following as well.

It's just dark enough to satisfy fans of horror, with enough humor to appeal to fans of comedy, a surprisingly earnest story of sibling love to attract fans of drama, a love story for fans of romance, enough child and teenage characters to appeal to younger audiences, and a ton of musical numbers from Bette Midler and co. to appeal to music-lovers. Even so, there were many people at the time who criticized it for being too dark and/or cynical, especially compared to previous holiday films. So in a way Hocus Pocus has been Vindicated by History.

The series largely has a High Fantasy tone and accessible gameplay that appeals to younger fans, but older fans also love the (usually optional) challenging moments and dark themes in each game. Across genres, Wide-Open Sandbox fans love Zelda's focus on exploration, RPG fans love its Dungeon Crawling and storytelling, Action Game fans love its combat, and Adventure Game and Puzzle Game fans love its puzzles involving environmental interaction.

Multiple Demographic Appeal / int_7832b74c	comment	Steven Universe has a large amount of appeal for both boys and girls of all ages. The title character is a hyperactive young boy who is very cheerful for the boys, but is sensitive, empathetic, and has an adorable appearance that makes him endearing to girls. The Crystal Gems, Steven's unofficial big sisters who are strong female characters with varying personalities and styles, making them good role models for young girls as well as unconventional families, note maybe save for Amethyst, who still acts very childlike due to the fact she's probably closer to Steven's age compared to the other Gems; though this instead means young girls around preteen/early teens can identify with her better and identifiable characters for older female viewers (double if you're a girl with a younger brother). They can be seen not only as big sisters, but as a complete pseudo-family unit. Garnet is the always-calm, generally supportive yet emotionally-distant father figure, Pearl is the doting, responsible mother figure, while Amethyst is the boisterous, engaging big sister. More substantially, the colorful and cute art style, along with many shout outs to popular and not so popular anime gain an audience with the otaku crowd, the frequent action and magic powers by said Gems give them appeal to fans of the Magical Girl genre, and a complicated and dark series of relationships among the cast give it shoujo support, and the interesting mix of science fiction, fantasy, horror, a intricate mystery plot, and even space opera wrapped in a Slice of Life presentation has nearly every demographic you could look for.

Part of what made Show by Rock!! so appealing is having a cast of cute girls, hot guys, ridiculously cute critters, and mascots with attitude in equal measure. If popularity polls are any indication, it seems to have caught on with women more than initially expected, and even Sanrio's typical child demographic has taken a liking to it, if the Japanese Happy Meal toys are of any indication. And that's not counting the music fans that came for its rockin' soundtrack: the game puts the spotlight on a great number of indie bands using their Myumon counterparts, and the genres span all over the spectrum, so there's a band for every kind of music lover out there.

Sure, it has blazing robot action and classic shonen tropes, but it's also got a touch of MMO/isekai to it, and a strong science-fantasy element as well. At the same time, it's also a slice of life show in its spare time and has enough room for strong characterization and the occasional in-joke for long-time viewers.

Multiple Demographic Appeal / int_9d60e7f8	comment	Romeo and Juliet (1968) was a Sleeper Hit in a market that was otherwise indifferent to Shakespeare films. For critics, the fact that Franco Zeffirelli took steps to make the costumes period accurate (and his previous goodwill from a version of The Taming of the Shrew) made it appeal to highbrow tastes. Cutting out large chunks of dialogue to make the story work better on film, and playing up the intensity of the action sequences, as well as a little bit of nudity, drew in the New Hollywood crowd. Casting actual teenagers in the title roles for a change, and emphasising the passion of the love story also made it a hit with younger audiences of the day who might otherwise be turned off by classical Shakespeare.

It is dark enough to feel like a film adults can enjoy, but has plenty of comedy and levity that children could enjoy it too. Elizabeth is also an active character who gets involved in the fighting too, enticing female viewers who might otherwise dismiss it as a sausage-fest, as did the presence of Orlando Bloom at the height of his heartthrob status.

You can breeze through the main story with just your starter (or any Pokemon you desire), or you can complete against other competitive players who breed for IVs and natures, EV train for a long time, and try to build the best possible team. and then there's the wide variety of adult fans on imageboards who have come in all generations, for countless reasons. An Ad for the New 3DS XL had two ads, one aimed at boys and one aimed at girls. Both ads featured Pokemon. PokÃ©mon also manages to appeal to a vast span of age groups. While the main series is intended for kids between the ages of 5-18 (and adults), many spinoffs like PokÃ©mon GO specifically appeal to adults who are able to travel unsupervised and have a disposable income. What franchise can claim to appeal to such diverse groups as the hardcore Fighting Game Community (with PokkÃ©n Tournament), 3-5 year olds (PokÃ©mon Playhouse and Pokemon Kids TV) and even babies and their parents?

Multiple Demographic Appeal / int_b4fe32c9	comment	Occasionally (though perhaps not accurately) cited as a reason for the cancellation of Invader Zim, as it was apparently popular with a number of demographics, often older than expected, but unfortunately not enough so with its TARGET demographic. During its original run it had a healthy fanbase with the younger crowd and the pilot episode that they showed to a test audience was Nick's highest positive reaction at the time. Sadly, airing at 9:30 on Fridays doesn't help much if you want a younger audience. This is not actually quite true of Zim, and neither is the rumor about moral objections to the show; Zim had very high ratings and viewership, and the management didn't really have much objection to the content. The problem was that Invader Zim was just really expensive to make, and they simply were losing too much money on it.

However, it also adds many female characters to the traditionally male story, and makes them active in their own stories outside of being love interests or Ms Fanservices; Spartacus's wife is also an Action Girl who appears in dreams and visions, Lucretia has her own subplot of using Crixus to try and conceive a child behind Quintus's back, and Illithyia is more of a driving force in the plot than her husband. The show also features plenty of Male Frontal Nudity, with most of the gladiator characters spending 98% of their screen time completely shirtless. In addition to that, there are several gay couples who aren't left out of the sex scenes either, and many other characters are Ambiguously Bi.

Multiple Demographic Appeal / int_b9a0d78d	comment	A frequent explanation for why the first two Alien films are so beloved is their success at this trope. They're extremely effective horror films, yes, but they're also much more than that. As critic David McIntee writes, "Fans of Hitchcockian thrillers like it because it's moody and dark. Gorehounds like it for the chest-burster. Science fiction fans love the hard science fiction trappings and hardware. Men love the battle-for-survival element, and women love not being cast as the helpless victim." The same goes for the sequel, which kept what people loved about the original, but added a cast of memorable supporting characters, snappy, highly quotable dialogue, a super-cool war movie Genre Shift, and for female fans, an unusually female-centric story arc and the moving, surrogate-parent relationship between Ripley and Newt. There's even a happy ending. Failure to follow this trope is why the sequels are divisive at best.

The series never had a strong toyline in the first place, which definitely hurt it in the long run. Dini also said this led to the cancellation of the Green Lantern: The Animated Series and Tower Prep.

Multiple Demographic Appeal / int_bcadd7cb	comment	Warhammer 40,000, on multiple levels. Without even involving the miniatures and the rulebooks, the game's grim, dark setting of eternal, hopeless war and vivid gothic imagery appeals to the Maturity Is Serious Business mindset, as there can't be many settings much more scowlingly serious than the galaxy of 40k. At the same time, the unflinching commitment to these grimdark elements in a setting where FTL travel sends you through hell and nine-foot armored supermen fire rocket-propeled grenade launchers one-handed while fighting underneath towering combinations of cathedrals and humongous mecha equipped with chainsaws the size of apartment buildings... it's all so over-the-top that other fans can enjoy a more lighthearted take on it, even without involving the Orks. A good case study is the Gaunt's Ghosts and Ciaphas Cain novels - both involve commissars leading the Imperial Guard against the Imperium's enemies, both are wildly different in tone, and both are equally valid representations of Warhammer 40000. The former presents very sombre stories of tragedy and valour told from the perspective of a tough-as-nails Father to His Men whose personal morals clash with the nature of his command (like Sharpe), and the latter presents a tongue-in-cheek dark comedy about a cynical jerk who would much prefer to be far away from the dangerous and scary battlefields, thank you very much! This trope is also why the game has so many different, highly distinctive armies to choose from. The Space Marines are the mascot faction with a unique blend of futuristic and gothic themes, while the Imperial Guard appeal to historical military buffs thanks to the World War II look of their infantry and tank kits. The Eldar's sleek aesthetics and colorful uniforms give pro painters a chance to shine, while the Tau's battlesuits and hovertanks have a near-future look to them aimed at anime or cyberpunk fans. The Tyranids are ideal for anyone who likes big scary monsters, while Chaos or the Orks are perfect for modelers who enjoy conversion work and creating mutated horrors and ramshackle war machines, respectively. Want to field an army of kick-ass women (both stripperiffic and in very reasonable armor)? The Sisters of Battle are the faction for you! This isn't even all the factions! Finally, the way each army handles on the battlefield is also designed to appeal to players with completely different tastes. Want a balanced army of a few elite supersoldiers holding their own against a numerically superior foe? Field Space Marines. Imperial Guard players meanwhile get to use something approaching actual military tactics as they coordinate expendable infantry, armored squadrons, and air support. Tau fight like a modern contemporary army, with lots of mobility, unit-interdependence, and hi-tech support. The Eldar or Dark Eldar provide a different challenge, and are powerful but specialized and relatively fragile armies that require clever coordination and planning to win with. If you want to just rush with a horde of monsters, go with Tyranids or Orks — the latter especially if you enjoy an element of randomness in your army. Want a little Confusion Fu with monstrously-powerful beasts, give Chaos Daemons a try. In short, some force will fit you no matter how strategic or aggressive you want to play. Additional note: There's even MORE tastes being drawn in, not even including the game itself. There's videogames for those who just love their videogames. You're a total memelord? The franchise shits out more memes than a hive world produces meaty cannon fodder. Enjoy literary analysis and speculating on themes and moral dilemmas and whatnot? We got fascism, totalitarianism, authoritarianism, black and grey morality left and right and up and down, existential horror to infinite degrees, what measure is a non-human, what counts as human, why war is bad stuff, everything! You just like watching souped up Xenomorphs fight Terminators on crack and giant dudes with chainswords while Cthulhu provides a badass backing soundtrack? Three-way Tyranid vs. Necron vs. Space Marines battle in the Eye of Terror. In short, there's a bit of everything for everyone, allowing folks to get involved with the setting without even playing the game itself.

Halo veterans apparently adapt well to the fast, jumpy Scout playstyle, Quake arena players will find the Soldier familiar, and CounterStrike veterans can take advantage of years of honed skills as the Sniper. And outside of the first-person-shooter aspect of it, the Pixar-esque art and humor draws people in to those unaccustomed to normally serious games of this genre. To say nothing of how the all-male cast has created a thriving shipping community among Yaoi Fangirls who have never played the game...

Multiple Demographic Appeal / int_c4282b71	comment	My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic is primarily aimed at young girls, but clever writing, excellent humor, pop culture references (including to many shows kids are unlikely to have seen) and solid overall performance have earned it an audience among many adults. The show's creators acknowledge this, and work stories with their own meaning for adults into the show. That, and some aspects of the show are more appealing to male viewers than you'd think, such as the most significant male character hanging out with a group of girls (especially since he has a crush on one of them), or very mild bits of the other kind of fanservice.The dark side of the trope rolled around eventually, too — the studio thought they'd give the "bronies" a big shout out by giving "Derpy Hooves", a walleyed pegasus the fans had adopted as a sort of mascot after her initial gag appearance, a voiced appearance. Unfortunately, a cascade failure of miscommunication and poor judgement resulted in a final product that appeared to be a dig at the mentally disabled, offending a Vocal Minority of the people watching. Then they changed itnote The official story is that the original voice was because Tabitha St. Germain thought "Derpy" was a boy, and they wanted her to redo it with a less awkward girl voice, although that leads inevitably to the question of why they didn't do that before the episode aired, and offended the people who weren't offended the first time. Though they inevitably brought her back, this time outright acknowledging Fanon about the character such as her love of muffins, friendship with Time Turner, and career as a mail carrier, and even made it clear she wasn't going anywhere again, they still made sure to downplay her name as much as possiblenote Though they claim not crediting her as "Derpy Hooves", instead referring to her as "Muffins" in credits if she's even credited at all, was the result of a copyright issue instead and have no problem calling her Derpy on social media.

Especially the recent revival, which is frequently criticised for being overly sentimental to appeal to a more mainstream audience. The spinoffs, especially The Sarah Jane Adventures, are written just as much for adults as they are for kids, too. While Doctor Who and The Sarah Jane Adventures are written to be all-audiences fare, other Who spinoff Torchwood is most definitely not. Written as both Darker and Edgier and Hotter and Sexier, the producers of both series have explicitly stated that the Doctor will absolutely not appear on Torchwood the way he did on SJA since it might encourage kids to watch a show they most definitely shouldn't.

The series grew to spark interest in all sorts of varied demographics, to the point of Japanese mainstream media trying to understand why and how people of different genders and ages, from people who have never really cared much about anime and manga to begin with to seasoned otaku gave the series their attention. Many tried to explain, with diverging opinions, but the most intersecting factors boil down to how simple and yet effective it carries its themes of family bond, hard work, folklore through a very familiar Japanese background carried in an easy to digest manner, and the easy-to-understand story even by a little child.

This was an intentional example from Toei as it not only attracted young girls, but women, and most prominently, men of all ages to watch with them. In fact, Pretty Cure is seen as THE series paved the way for a new generation of modern day Magical Girl shows that have asskicking fights (see Nanoha above, released later in the same year) and made the genre popular again after Sailor Moon ended in the decade before. This doesn't factor in the budding Toku fanbase (it now gets packaged with Super Sentai and Kamen Rider as a Sunday block), and for a lot of young girls growing up in the early 2000s, Pretty Cure would end up being their first look into that world.

This led to it shattering ratings and sales expectations in Japan since everybody, regardless of age or gender, seemed to love the hell out of both the manga and the show. This also led to it doing fantastically well overseas, with the U.S. being practically the only country to not run the show several times.

Multiple Demographic Appeal / int_f455c728	comment	Princess Maker was originally a Bishoujo Game. But the concept of raising a daughter (and Cube) heavily appealed to female players. Because of this, Petite Princess Yucie, The Anime of the Game, was Shoujo and Princess Maker 5 added the option to play as a mother, and more love interests for the daughter than ever before.

Multiple Demographic Appeal / int_f6fe1bfc	comment	Sabrina the Teenage Witch was a family sitcom that was innocent enough for children to enjoy, but had enough Parental Bonuses for adults and older viewers. Sabrina, Hilda and Zelda as protagonists attracted substantial female viewers, and Sabrina herself was both attractive and relatable enough to boys too (something Melissa Joan Hart had also achieved in Clarissa Explains It All). Male viewers also had an Audience Surrogate in the form of Salem, whose Camp Straight tendencies attracted a significant LGBT Fanbase without alienating other demographics. The magic themes also attracted children and those who enjoyed geek media. It also appealed to twenty and thirtysomethings nostalgic for the likes of Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie.

Multiple Demographic Appeal / int_f7d93e4a	comment	The Assassin's Creed franchise runs the gamut of gameplay and story genres, starting with a focus on stealth assasinations in a conspiracy thriller, then open combat starting with the third game, then focusing on historical tourism, until finally becoming a full-blown Action RPG with Origins onwards. The franchise melds all of these elements into a compelling package that has something for virtually everyone, making it a very popular series.

Multiple Demographic Appeal / int_f7ed2fd7	comment	Part of the reason that The Little Mermaid (1989) was such a smash hit was that it managed to be enough of a Genre Throwback to the fairy tale Disney films of the 50s to attract adults nostalgic for them, and modern enough to appeal to children. Its female lead Ariel sang an "I Want" Song, wore a few pretty dresses and her romance plot was appealing to little girls - while she was also adventurous and feisty enough to appeal (and be relatable) to little boys too (and indeed children of the opposite gender who related more to the other). The medium of animation also made the Broadway musical elements far more accessible to those who might otherwise not be drawn to musical theatre, while also having spectacular songs that Broadway lovers would enjoy. Its Coming of Age Story was palatable enough for children, while still being mature enough for adults.

Multiple Demographic Appeal / int_f8705c18	comment	Hellsing managed to draw in Dracula fans who don't usually watch anime for its unique and memorable take on the mythos. It's also dark, stylish, and well-drawn, with enough action to satisfy the people who aren't into horror and enough horror to satisfy the people who aren't into action. Not to mention that it has a good balance of men and women who are all quite good-looking. And a good dub.

It's a shounen, but the romance is done in a shoujo-style, and has managed to attract multiple demographics with its combination of shoujo, shounen, and even seinen staples.

The Pines twins are easy to relate to and the humor can often be enjoyed for the young audience yet they manage to appeal to older audiences with humor, mystery and elements for them that will probably make people ask how it keeps a Y7 rating.

This targeting extends to some of The Merch of Crystal, like "tiara rings" with a price point of over a hundred dollars.
