Wanted to see what anime would come out on top after voting. Went all out looking for the well rated shounen series on MAL.
GOATama is my pick.

I never watched shows like One Piece, HxH . Gintama being an exception (which I only watched several eps of) but if Jojo's wasn't on the list I'd pick FMA:B tbh.

FMAB isn't 100+ episode but overall from what I've seen on the list that's the best too me. 100+ tho I would say OG Naruto, Shippuden get killed with all the fillers.

If I'm not mistaken FMAB and FMA are different shows makes little sense to combine them as one show.

eh, if you're talking literally shounen instead of the more specific battle shounen then the question makes little sense to me. Between battle shounen, sports, comedy and romance there are just too many different types of show that can't be compared to each other.

Gintama, Major, JoJo (if you can count it as one series, I usually see it as a bunch of series since the main cast and everything changes between them) HxH, One Piece, Ippo, Brotherhood (which has less than 100 eps btw) are all 9-10/10 shows for me.
I probably regret this post by now.

I voted Hunter x Hunter too fast, should've picked Diamond no Ace but I saw it too late :c
DnA is seriously underrated, it deserves more love and attention <3

Gintama then FMAB then Jojo.

Naruto and Bleach aren't remotely close to being masterpieces, but they are very nostalgic for me.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes is not a shounen. It's not even based on a manga.

I misread "Shounen" in the title as "Show", my bad.

Oh yeah, if it was show I'd have shouted for including LOGH.


Now that I think about it the poll does still miss some essential long-running shounen though. Namely:

Space Brothers
Toriko
Ranma 1/2
Urusei Yatsura

Well, Brotherhood has much less episodes so I didn't think 100 was mandatory.
You're right about it being seinen though. I somehow always think of it as shounen.

Note that I used a slash to represent the combination of the original FMA and the Remake(so they would be eligible) sorry if that wasn't clear
