What is KNT? A kodomo or a shonen anime? Some guys say kodomo, others say shonen. When there are a lot of opinions, I am confused. I can only trust in your opinion...

definitely shõnen, there were some parts that were definitely not for kids. spc on the other site might have been...but I think it's still more for shõnen

KNT is sort of a grab bag of genres, it borrows traditions of and parodies all sorts of things including mecha anime, sentai, and jidaigeki. But overall I'd say it's a kid-friendly gag anime, so kodomo. It focuses more on humor than drama and action, and seems to have been marketed at the younger age set. Of course, as with many shows that are primarliy aimed at children but are prodcued and written well, it can appeal to viewers of all ages.

its obviously Josei.

Not.

Personally I think it's something in between kodomo and shōnen.
Generally it's kid-friendly, but it has a shōnen feel to it. I can't explain it with words.
There are also several jokes of "parental bonus" (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ParentalBonus) category.
For example, look at the attached screenshot.
A kid, unless he can read English, will never guess that the annotations say "Ears", "Breasts" and "××××".
While teens and adults will laugh at that. (Well, at least I laughed hard considering how they showed armor/battle parts for males and this for Polly :D )

I actually never noticed that one....

Actually, the other two were pretty strange, too. Yattarou's had labels such as "Dunce", "Hungry", "Balls", and "Wants Money", and Sukashii's had "Brain Tumor", "AIDS", "Tuberculosis", and "Athlete's Foot".

is that even legal to show?

Oh, didn't notice it! :O
I just checked it again and it's exactly like this... I wasn't able to translate what labels for :speedy: and :guido: said because I actually know only a really tiny (microscopic) bit of Japanese.
Well, at first I started to feel bad for Guido D:
But then I remembered labels are made up by Ninja Crows & Karamaru.
Yeah, that's pretty funny, esp. "Wants Money" :)
But still nothing beats Polly's "reference sheet" :D

you know a tiny bit japanese and one of those few words you know is oppai?.....I wonder what animes you watch.... X3

Haha, no no, that one I believe I learned from some doujinshi translation or somewhere else, I don't remember...
If you really want to see what anime I do watch, you can look at my anime list (http://myanimelist.net/animelist/Fureon&order=4)






I didn't include hentai though. *blush*

*looking at the list*  almost don't know a single of those animes  8O
I advice you to try watching shònen onmyòji, also ain't a very popular anime although (to my opinion) it's pretty good

Hehe, yeah, I like finding rare titles and I never watch mainstream :)
Shounen Onmyouji will have to wait... as you can see I'm currently already watching something about onmyouji (Onmyou Taisenki) now.
Oh, and... [/off-topic]

we are? I thought we were talking about shonen and kodomo X3

but still I say that knt is pretty shonen....
