BTW......does anyone know how many Battle Shonen's there are in existence currently??


It's
X - 2


X being the claimed amount of Shonen
and one is deduced for the wrong claims that two certain shows are shonen.


So pretty much X :)

Does anyone else hate the concept of prophecy people?

Aang, Naruto, Harry Potter, and all these faggots being like "Yeah god/destiny/the author are on my side" this story is totally not going where I'm expecting it.

Sure FT's score is totally justified.
Mal scores mean nothing. Fairy Tail is scored higher than Naruto and Bleach yet most people know they are better than Fairy Tail.


Well yeah they are probably better than it, at least Naruto is. But they are still meh.

A lot of battle shonen stories follow very similar formula, have a lot of similar traits, some of them being really stupid. So I completely understand people hating on them in general.

Following the same formula and having the same traits doesn't equal bad.

Shaman king and the law of ueki are pretty good shonen series though. Better than some of the recent titles.


Law of Ueki is that Gash Bell alike manga?
Yup and not nearly as good as it.

No.........A better question would be "Does anybody even like that prophecy BULLSHIT"

Naruto was probably the most annoying offender of this trope, as it felt like a cheap copout for what the series had tried to display

Well I guess it doesn't, but some series take it a little too far. I have Nanatsu in my head. I swear there is nothing original about it.

I liked the flashback, and the goodbye scene.... but the villain was terrible, and ruined what could have been a touching story for the village leader. Then of course, we get stuck watching his fight against Luffy... ugh.

Nothing in particular was impressive to be honest. Just more of the same. The more I think about the series the more I feel like I've grown out of it.

Ingenious way of questioning, just cut out the best part.

Anyway, as someone already mentioned, the setting was really nice, it was hilarious as always, and there were many notable moments for some characters.

Yeah and he comes across to me as a shitty version of Ichigo. At least Ichigo has power to back up his obsession with protecting his friends. I'm basing this though only on how he is portrayed in the anime (UBW 2014) not the VN. I don't know if he is different in the VN.

Fujoshi bait is strong with the ranking.

I'm surprised too, tho. HxH 2011 is pretty popular with tumblrinas.


DrGero==> Of course Ichigo would have the power to back up his will to protect his friends, when he's basically part of every faction in the fucking Bleachverse.

Even though Seven Deadly Sins is generic I find it enjoyable. TBH imo it's a prime example of an anime that is generic but is still good despite that, Rave Master is another example. There is a giant as a good guy so I guess that's original.

Drum Island is where they first mentioned both the Will of D and Roger's real name I think, so maybe that's why.

Anyway, I enjoyed that arc because of Kureha for the most part. She was an extraordinary character, and the foremost reason for why that arc was way above average for me.

Didn't watch Index so I wouldn't know, but Shirou's survivor guilt reminded me of Ichigo's.

Now I remember that Ichigo's deal with his mom was very well handled.

This indicates that tumblr is most likely filled with bishie-loving girls. Can't say that's a surprise though.

You mean the most one sided. The pecking order in the series was already established quite a while ago. Aizen is a big bad. Yhwach is a bigger bad.
