| As a franchise: Dragon Ball (Forbes) As a manga: One Piece (Oricon) As an anime according to the West: Fullmetal Alchemist (MAL, AniDB) As an anime according to Japan: Gintama (NHK, TV Asahi, TVS) There are your answers. For me, it's obviously only one and everyone knows which one it is. |

alshu said: Best shounen of all tarded-times? And please, remove Detective Conan from the list! For a change It's a show about using your brain cells. It's also shounen manga... Just not a battle shounen series like Naruto or Dragonball. You'll notice there are sports shows in the poll too. Shounen isn't a genre, it's a target age demographic. If Detective Conan is the only one you like then why not show it a little love in the poll instead complaining over its inclusion? |
AnchovyPepperoni said: I think the guy was pretty much trolling there? Sure did make me cringe tho, and I don't even like shonen. Maybe so but I don't like to spread misinformation. It's a pretty common misconception that all a Shounen are like Dragonball and I'd rather not see it reinforced for anyone who might be reading these comments. |
It is? I didn't knooow. Oh, wait! It's in my favourite manga list... Bebop_Hakusho said: Just not a battle shounen series like Naruto or Dragonball. But they don't do battles in those too, characters only talk and talk. Bebop_Hakusho said: You'll notice there are sports shows in the poll too. Aren't those made exclusively for fujoshis? They should be tagged with shoujo and josei than. Bebop_Hakusho said: Shounen isn't a genre Yeah, it's a subgenre of battle seinen. Bebop_Hakusho said: it's a target age demographic Yeah, targeted at menchildren...thus seinen. Bebop_Hakusho said: If Detective Conan is the only one you like then why not show it a little love in the poll instead complaining over its inclusion? I want it to be removed from the rest of the trash...because it's a different kind of trash. Never heard of trash separating? AnchovyPepperoni said: Sure did make me cringe tho My first catch of the day. |

| There isn't an objectively best. And this is just a subjective opinion, as everyone else's, but for me it's Demon Slayer from those I have seen. And yes, I have seen fUlLmEtAlalcHeMIsTbroTHerhOoD and hUnterXHuntTEr. |

| Aria the Origination - my highest rated anime with shounen tag. Technically a shounen because it was published in a shounen magazine. |
 |
| I've voted for One Piece! Also looks like the shounen haters have arrived XD(dunno why they entered this thread though) |
 |
| For me it would be Gintama. The best shounen that I've read is Ashita no Joe tho |
| Fullmetal Alchemist (More preferably Brotherhood). It has everything in it and does most of them almost perfectly. You want good characters- You have great ones. You want good story- One of the best plots I've ever watched. You want fantasy with a little mix of sci fi- You have one of the best of the genre. Surely it's been the BEST shonen I've ever watched. (BTW, isn't Death Note seinen?) |
| SAO PROGRESSIVE ANIME HYPE |
| Mine has been (somewhat unsurprisingly) left out of the available poll options, but easily and by far, Inuyasha. The more I think about it and peruse, the more I'm finding that I don't actually care for the vast majority of the most famed shounen titles and most of what's classified as "battle shounen". |
| Nice to see gintama hanging in there even after being half as popular as rest of the entries. |
 |
| Mine is city hunter but that one isn't that well known in the west so for the poll I went with hunter x hunter Also how do you get fairy tail here but no hokuto no ken smh? |
| Best shounen is without a doubt GTO, and nothing comes even close. |
 |
| If we are talking about Battle Shounens then I will go with Air Gear and Saint Seiya. If we are talking about the Demographic then it is either Air Gear or the Aria series. |

Imagine not picking One Piece...... |

| One Piece,great storytelling one the greatest fictional stories ever written. |
| If we're talking shounen for shounen's sake, I'd go with Naruto. Death Note is my favorite from that list but it doesn't at all feel focused on a shounen aspect. Attack on Titan is also really good but again it's not very focused on shounen in my opinion. |

| I'd say either HxH or FMAB. I have HxH higher in my faves, but I absolutely adore both of them. |
 |
| It seem to be between hxh vs snk, and this isn't the only thread that has shown that as well, once season 4 is out and its done justice to the manga, then it wont even be a debate anymore. |
Zeckrin said: Exactly what it says. Shounen is in no possible way a genre that could be considered best and even inside its own territory. The former describes it against other genres while the latter answers the threads question.Luchse said: 'Best' and 'shounen' in the same sentence. That's not how it works mate. Dafuq is this even supposed to mean? lol |

You're making even less sense now by calling shounen a genre. This post is too far gone... yikes! Missaliensan said: Does it really?

You've already dug a deep enough hole and anyone with half a brain and respect for opinions won't see eye to eye with you. Have a good day. |
