One of the toughest SOB's I know is a Sailor Moon fan who'd laugh you off for judging him based on that one fraction of his tastes.
Mind you, if that ain't your personal style, I'd back you to the ends of the Earth if anyone decided you must be a psychopath for liking Black Lagoon.
My tastes encompass Lagoon and Usagi Drop, each which satisfy very different parts of me. Sailor Moon is that stupid anime I watched as a kid. Beserk is a masterpiece I have issues with, but still love. Astroboy is pure nostalgia, and I will always be a little upset at how Macross became Robotek. That's just a slice of my headspace.
You ever read/ seen Black Jack, Eagle? About the doctor?
Your friend is the exception, not the rule. Demographics are about what they expect this group to be interested in. Like how lots of shounen are ecchi. Beacuse they expect teenage boys to be super into bouncy tits and panty shots. That doesn't mean every teenage boy is, just that its the general expectation. Your friend can like Sailor Moon all he wants. That still doesn't make it a seinen.
I did watch a bit of the black jack anime, it wasn't bad
