This article is from the misc anime FAQ, by nikkou with numerous contributions by others.
I wasn't going to put this in because it's so amusing to see Peter Van Huffel get all in a huff about it in raamisc (and rec.arts.manga too! ;) Then again, I guess it'll be better for his blood pressure or something, so here is Peter's own words:
*SIGH*. Let me repeat it once more. Something is shounen because it's targeted at shounen (boys), something is shoujo because it's targeted at shoujo (girls). That's the only distinction, and all the rest is nonsense. If Urusei Yatsura and Kimagure Orange Road had been featured in a girls' magazine, I would call it shoujo. But as those series were featured in Shounen magazines, those manga and their offspring anime are as shounen as it can get.
shoujo, shounen, seinen, seijin : only difference is TARGET PUBLIC, not content, not style, or anything else!!! --
