Bokunime

Historically, the roots of this paradigm can be traced back to the "Seinen" (young men's) demographic shift in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Unlike the classic shōnen hero who yells his ambitions to the heavens, the "bokunime" protagonist whispers his discontent to the audience, creating an intimate contract of understanding between viewer and character.
