PirateHasan said:So what is your 'Shonen' taste,
the dark and gritty series like Jujutsu Kaisen, KNY;
the light-hearted ones filled with adventure like One Piece, Fairy Tail, Magi, Toriko;
the sci-fi ones like Dr. Stone, The Promised Neverland, World Trigger;
the battle-centric ones like Bleach, Dragon Ball, Naruto, Reborn!;
..the list is perpetual.
What is your ideal Shonen supposed to be?
P.S. The ones I've mentioned are mostly the publications of Shonen Jump, other publisher answers are also welcome.
Magi a light hearted shounen? thanks I needed that joke for today. It deals with slavery and poverty I didn't think it was lighthearted
But apart from that I love all shounen, my favourite will still be the classic shounen series though. Personally I do like the action shounen, as long as there's some fights it's usually entertaining. I think dark theme doesn't feel right for a shounen since shounen it supposed to be for children and if you want dark themed anime then makes more sense to go ll out with it and just make it an adult anime all together. Attack on titan is a shounen, yes meaning it was supposed to be for kids but it's basically an adult anime. Same with jojo's it's basically an adult anime but it's labelled shounen.
