| I wanna add some good shonen to my PTW so list some underrated ones. (pls) |
 |
| Yu Yu Hakusho & Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic |
| That's a hard question. Idk if link click is a shonen, but it's pretty underrated ig. |
| D gray man Ushio & tora (2015) Rise of the yokai clan Hitman reborn |
| probably Bio-Meat Nectar. it´s a great survival manga that deserves more exposition. Id also add Cage of Eden to the bucket. yeah, used to be more popular 10 years ago, but it isnt recieving enough attention these days and that score doesnt make it justice. both of them are great additions since you enjoyed Attack on Titan. |

| Saike Matashitemo is such an underrated manga, it has the most interesting usage of time travel I’ve ever seen, as well as fantastic character writing and unique powers. Just a fantastic series all around! |
  "Truth is always a cruel thing." |
| Trigun Rurouni Kenshin:Trust and Betrayal Ginga Nagareboshi Gin(don't watch the sequel) Great Teacher Onizuka I don't know whether these are underrated but these are some good shounen anime. Underrrated and underappreciated are different. |
| I think Hikaru no Go is very fitting of a underrated shounen. The game isn’t a eye catcher but it has a lot of thrilling and ass clinching moments. Pretty badass for what it’s worth. It also doesn’t help that it’s a bit old in the 2000s ish |

| Toriko is most underrated shounen ever. Lezardo_ said: Ashita no Joe and SKET Dance. Although AnJ is probably popular in the 90s but on our current time, people are missing out. And SKET Dance, its like Gintama, highschooler version. Ashita no joe isn't underrated at all. |

You know what, yes. AnJ is highly influential and has inspired lots of anime, I guess people know a lot about it. (haven't thought about that part, till now) Also, I agree with you on Toriko, I don't see a lot of people talking about it. |
| I haven't even seen it but I feel like Sket Dance is the sort of series |
 |
| World Trigger is pretty good and underrated imo. |
| Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle & Pandora Hearts |

| Hmmmm I don't know where the line of underrated begins so my recommandations would be: Bakuman Inu x Boku SS (apparently it is a shonen too,) Diamond no Ace Mashiro no Oto and Idk what else as these titles seems to me be "underrated"/"Less popular" |
| Otome Youkai Zakuro - it looks like shoujo, it's being published in a seinen magazine but it's shounen for me. |
| Battle shounen: World Trigger Non-battle shounen: Happy Sugar Life |
 |

| the violinist of hamelin karakuri circus zatch bell doubutsu no kuni souboutei kowasubeshi sengoku youko (everything from satoshi mizukami) magi orient world trigger rocket man everything from adachi miitsuru |
| Armed Librarians: The Book of Bantorra It's great because it's actually a seinen! Kind of ironic huh... |
 |
taynbyi said: JaniSIr said: Armed Librarians: The Book of Bantorra It's great because it's actually a seinen! Kind of ironic huh... Seinen is a demographic term, not a countable thing, so it does not take an article on its own. It should be "it's actually seinen". Target demographic is kind of an important descriptor though. I'm not sure why CGDCT is tagged with that, but for the rest of the shows that tag usually signifies a kind of maturity that's lacking in shows tagged shounen. |

TransparentNinja said: one punch man I might even consider sword art online a little underrated for a shounen This has to be a joke lol. There's no way you consider OPM and SAO underrated. SAO is like one of the top 5 most popular anime on MAL. |

Hackercotu_Weeb said: Boku no Pico is the most underrated shounen ever !! You should watch it, it's peak fiction Oh yeah, I watched it. It sure was peak though ngl. It was so good, I felt like bleaching my eyes ๐๐ |
|
| I hate how fullmetal alchemist gets thrown mindless criticism just because brotherhood exists |
|
| That would be Kishin Douji Zenki, it's really nice anime from 1995 |
 |
| Most of IshinoMori works, like Ryuu no Michi and Sabu to Ichi Torimono Hikae. Such a great author, that while popular, is often overlooked. |
 |
| Katekyo Hitman Reborn Whistle! Ashita no Joe |
  ๐๐ผ๐๐ ๐ผ๐ ๐บ๐ผ๐๐๐ด๐๐ด - NOT your usual shounen anime - Pure comedy? DEAD WRONG - Treat Gintama as SoL/weekly sitcom especially earlier seasons - Ep 1 & 2 are for manga readers - BIG patience for its 'slow' start |
| Don't know if it's really underrated, but I'd pick Fire Punch. Same guy that made Chainsaw Man. I think it's a bit better than CSM |

Akitio said: Kingdom (Anime series) even though manga is very popular anime is very underrated. The 4th season seems pretty popular rn. I've heard great things about the manga. |
|
Crack said: I hate how fullmetal alchemist gets thrown mindless criticism just because brotherhood exists Aren't both basically the same? Except Brotherhood has a few more eps, better animation and a more toxic fanbase. At least what I know. I've seen neither |

DeonX said: Nahh it doesn't have an anime adaptation, just the manga. I didn't read the part that you were searching anime for your PLW list. The manga's really good so farDOSS216 said: Don't know if it's really underrated, but I'd pick Fire Punch. Same guy that made Chainsaw Man. I think it's a bit better than CSM Hold up.

| Ushio and Tora is a fantastic anime Kengan Ashura is a fantastic manga |
| Go check out my latest review: https://myanimelist.net/profile/YeeYeeAss/reviews |
| Honestly there's not that many shonens that are underrated since shonen fans tend to overate a lot of shows. But if your after shonen where it was sort of under watched; and I'll admit there's probably shows a lot more underwatched than it but maybe Talentless Nana |
NoBoDY-5 said: Akitio said: Late reply but I just want to say that kingdom is seinen not shounen.Kingdom (Anime series) even though manga is very popular anime is very underrated. I really hate to use words like underrated and overrated but it's feels like not many people knows about Zatch bell! and how good it is. I'm actually watching Zatch Bell. 40 eps deep as of now. Haven't been watching it lately though. The new mamono and book user vs Gash and Kiyomaro trope was getting a bit repetitive so I'll be watching it again after a while The concept of the show is truly unique though |
