it is really stupid that the magazine it's published in decides the demographic. the creator should choose that imo

He already did. By his content. People are just too caught up in reading labels to use their brains.

HxH is a shounen.
and

He's saying that HxH's complexity doesn't make it a shounen. He's half right and half wrong though. I suppose he's just another guy who wanks it to death.

By that logic then One Piece is not a shounen, it's complex story, a bit gory here and there, quite dark sometime and yet I never met a single person that claim One Piece is not a shonen.

one piece is too cliché and generic to not be considered a shounen

By that logic, one piece doesn't apply into the description.
And no, being a shonen has many more aspects than complexity.

Well I think it is a shonen because the manga was published in shonen magazine, if I am not wrong. But that is the point, that the fact HxH was quite complex for a shonen so it is not a generic and typical shonen.

What he said. Fairy Tail is apparently a seinen though.

20 Century Boys is a shonen because it has the word shonen in it.
Fucking retarded logic.

Your logic?
dunno about that series but the title is irrelevant, it's the publisher magazine that determine the demographic, SO if it is a shounen because it's published in shonen magazine then nothing wrong with it.

Well done guys, one potentially good topic before closing this thread and instead of discussing something meaningful for once you people would rather spend it on feeding the bait of bad trolls.

Both are equally dumb. Going off the labels has not been smart very often.

I heard that Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is a typical battle shonen, while Fullmetal Alchemist (2003) isn't. I think its because Brotherhood has more fighting in it.

That's correct. This actually helps explain the difference.

Brotherhood is the best written - typical-shonen there is.

Both of them are typical, Brotherhood just had a slightly more typical ending.

I see people use the phrase "typical battle shonen" or "generic battle shonen" sometimes. What do they mean by this? Aren't like 99% of all battle shonens "typical" anyway? What battle shonens are there that aren't "typical"?

What people really mean when they say this are, battle shonen that use things that DBZ did almost exactly the same way DBZ did them.

This kind of makes sense. So basically, if the authors of battle shonens were influenced by Dragon Ball, and apply stuff inspired from Dragon Ball, then it's a typical battle shonen.

How I determine typical battle shounen is:
MC is kid/teenagers, Kid got dream and power, Kid found some friend on the same age with him and had equal power if not stronger than the Kid. Kid go on to the first Arc and found an overpowered dude and that dude become the goal of the Kid (whether to beat him or be like him)
