Dragon Ball. It really laid the foundation for all the other shounen on the list.

Yu Yu Hakusho, it's still one of the most entertaining shows I've ever watched. A Ranma 1/2 is fine too.

Yea, that's also one of my favorite videos. But unfortunately, I think Gintama is the best. Almost every episode is enjoyable, including the spoilers, whereas One Piece sometimes get really boring.

why?


I seconded that question. Why?


Someone is obviously a hater because they've never watched or read the genius that is Oda. If they'd watched One Piece they'd know that it is obviously the only choice to choose out of the list provided.

Yu Yu Hakusho definitely. but since it is not on the poll, my vote goes to naruto, minus the crappy filler arcs. hunter x hunter is also good.

Conclusion: One Piece is better. Or it has more fanboys. Or maybe both.

they are all top shounen animes, so it would definitely be hard to pick.
a lot of ppl would have to do the poll in order to have a more prominent result.

Though a fan of DBZ (exclude GT) and Hunter x Hunter. My vote was always going to be One Piece because unlike Naruto and Bleach, it isn't a long painfull walk down hill, it's actually quite the opposite.
And why is Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood in this survey for? It's only thirty episodes long so far, unless you're including the manga series, but this is the anime section of the forums.

um, I guess I wouldn't consider FMA: Brotherhood to be a long one because it will most likely cap out around 50 episodes.

Otherwise personally I would choose DBZ

The anime is a 30 roughly chapter 61.
The manga is at 100.
And on the rush to the finish.

Katekyo Hitman Reborn is my favorite at the moment. Gintama and One Piece would be a close second. Yu Yu Hakusho would be third.

I'm disappointed that KHR has less vote then Naruto, Bleach and Dragon Ball. Though I'm very happy at the amount of votes Gintama is getting.

No Yu Yu Hakusho on the list? Anyways I would have to say Katekyo Hitman Reborn basically it's the only long shounen anime that can hold my interest in every single episode, without making me feel bored. Even though the 1st few episodes are quite random. Though I also like Gintama, Dgrayman, Slam Dunk, Eyeshield 21, Prince of Tennis, Hunter x Hunter and Yu Yu Hakusho.

One Piece, easily. Surprised to see it faring so well in the poll. Honorable mentions go to DBZ and Gintama.

My favorite is FMA Brotherhood, but "long"? Even at the longest it's not going to run much more than 60 episodes. Every other series listed is 100+.

And wow, not a SINGLE vote for Ranma 1/2?

there is such a thing as a "best" shounen? i follow Naruto, but its kinda a lame genre overall >_>

i didnt know InuYasha was shounen. i thought it was a shoujo for some reason because the main character was a girl in love with a demon. it was like Japanese version of Twilight.

One Piece - because it ticks all the boxes shounen should (comedy, action adventure, decent character development, lots of characters combined with good character management, potential to go on for another 10 years, and less filler than other shounen series.)

Second for me is the Dragonball series - because it was my first shounen anime, it is a classic and inspired so many into anime and manga and it is really funny. Though this shouldn't really count because it is my personal favourite, and is no way actually 2nd best series. It has the flaws of too much filler, ridiculously long fight scenes with nothing really going on, and too many power ups. Though character development was awesome (Vegeta and Piccolo especially) and it was good how we got to see Goku go from kid to adult to kid (GT sucks though) to HD.

First of all, Inuyasha > Twilight.

Secondly, there's a reason why the IY manga is published in the "Shonen Sunday" anthology.

It seems I'm the only one who found last few minutes of Dragon Ball GT very touching, especially with Kuririn.
