Can we all agree that the HxH fanbase is definitely the worst? Lmao just look at this amount of butthurt fans pretending their garbage show is a divine creation.

I wouldn't call the anime a garbage, it's definitely good if you ask me, but the fanbase of it really is bad..


This problem comes with every franchise with a big fanbase. Kny is no exception to it. Neither is snk or gintama or one piece etc. Plus for the most part hxh do give reason for people to praise it and so some assholes of that fandom(i'm not a part of it) have superiority complex. Why not look in kny fandom for example. From what I've seen instead of telling a reason ti consider it better than other shonen they are shitting in snk gintama and jojo. I mean lets be real from what we have seen of kny and snk plot wise snk is superior( pure plot not anything eles) and I can see Kny fans calling snk plot shit while praising kny to be a better written show.

Good point. Every popular anime has some terrible fans, not just good ones.

You just reminded me of what I've heard from someone on YT:

"The more popular an anime becomes, the larger the fan base becomes. The larger the fan base becomes, the more weirdos in the fandom with louder voices."

This perfectly sums it up.

I think it's better than HxH (Except Chimera Arc), FMAB, BnHA, Haikyuu!! and most of other shounen shows. But SnK and JoJo Part 1-2-5's anime adaptations are better.

It's so funny how people have such different opinions. Personally, I am not sure which show is best, but HxH is one of the best when I look back. The Chimera Arc is my least favorite I believe, lol. FMAB, BnHA are also really good in my opinion. I don't like Haikyuu at all. Jojo is absolutely terrible and made no sense for me. SnK is really good too.
KnY is ok(pretty mediocre) but uncomparable to HxH, FMAB, BnHA, Black Clover, Death Note, and others.

It doesn't hold a candle to HxH, heck even classics like Yu Yu Hakusho.

Honestly, it seems like HxH hits hard on every spot...I love the characters, the story, the animation, how the world is set and the powers are super awesome. The story is intriguing, amazing antagonists, as well as protagonists and even the supporting and episodic characters, are amazingly interesting. It's just so well made, so memorable, fuck.

What is so amazing about the story? I know most hxh fans love it for two reason, the first reason is for its characters and the second reason is how well develop men is, you don't here anyone talk about how amazing hxh story is, because its pretty simple, for the most part.

Hxh is a character driven series, the characters is what drive the series not it's story.

Damn. All these whippersnappers listing Haikyuu, SnK, DS. Dudes sleeping on Yu Yu Hakusho, Trigun, Samurai X etc. No wonder Demon Slayer is this high. Recency bias is crazy.



Also not surprising there are people threatened by Hunter X Hunter.

Consensus top 3 anime on this website. With top tier writing that is often lost on those who dislike it. Often not enough anime titties for their taste.


Snk is also top 3 as well on this website incase you haven't notice, not to mention it should be #2 if it wasn't for the fmab crisis.

Also I have watch all those series which are good too, I gave them all a 9/10, but snk still tops them.

I mean, the same "Hunter x Hunter fans" listed FMAB, Gintama as well as Jojo to go along with their list.. y'all should have expected HxH to top the best shounen list anyway whenever the topic comes up, especially on MAL.


No, fmab is the most loved shounen series, it being #1 shows it, it just so happen that most of the person here are huge hxh fans.

And once the final season of snk is release, none of these shounen whether old or new, will even come close to the level of snk, it won't even be a contest anymore, that is if we get a good studio to adapt it, example production of, if wit won't be continuing it.

I think it's another case of Soul Eater / D.Gray-man / Magi / Katekyo Hitman Reborn

A series that is super popular while it's airing, but gets forgotten in a couple of years once everyone will move to some new mainstream shonen.

It's simply not distinct enough to leave a lasting impact.

My problem with HxH is that seems to be so highly praised basically because off of one arc. I know people who thought HxH was average everywhere besides the Chimera Ant Arc, but they still gave it a 10 just because of that arc. Imo HxH the arcs in HxH are just too disjointed and too up and down in quality.

Like the Chimera Ant Arc literally came out of nowhere and takes up like half of the show. And then the show ends shortly after that leaving so much to be desired along with so much loose plot ends and unfinished story points (just speaking on the anime here).

And in terms of up and down arc quality, the hunter exam was just good, then the killua family arc was alright, then heavens feel was just good again, then Yorknew City was amazing, but anticlimactic. Then we have greed island which was just alright again. And then the Chimera Ant Arc which was a mix between alright, good, great, and amazing, but with serious pacing issues. And then the Election Arc which was just alright. There's just no consistent quality imo. The series is just too up and down for me with random disconnected arcs, and too many unexplored plot points which is why I can't think that highly of it.

KnY really left a big impression on everyone, so it won't just be forgotten so easily, mainly since a sequel has already been announced.

Ehh, I feel like those series had similar praise and hype back in the days and yet they were forgotten anyway. KnY is also rather hit or miss when it comes to audiance and you can see many people complaining about the humor or some characters.

It's definitely not bad, but I don't see it as something that will become an iron classic. Maybe 2d season will change my mind, but will see.

Ashita no Joe and Hikaru no Go are quite possibly my favorite works published in a Shonen-Magazine. So I disagree somewhat. One shouldn't also harp on semantics too much, yet Shonen is just a demographic, and you nowadays can't decuce from a simple label what the actual content will be about. Mangaka and the publishing magazine are far more important.

Also see here.

MAL is a far cry from being my main literature site, that's why I won't be doing mere single chapter updates anymore. Manga- aka Baka-Updates + 2 French ones are miles better and more thorough/complete + less restricting. The latter are perfectly suited for Manga/Light Novel/Books collectors such as myself. Less stressful/tiring this way. -g-

@Everyone comparing battle shounen with sports shounen. That probably isnt the comparison that OP was hoping for.

Now here is my opinion. KnY was the best ongoing shounen last season. Ufotable has amazing animation for LN and Game Adaptations; especially in regards to their fight scenes. Kara no Kyoukai, Fate Series (Excluding the 06 ver. of Stay Night). The stories and stoic development of Kamado Tanjiro was honestly only competed with by Enen no Shouboutai and the hype from Wano in OP. Boruto has also got some hype building up atm but I dont follow it. In terms of best shounen fights I think its relative to personal opinions but here are some of my favorites, not to include KnY.

TTGL (Heaven Shattering Gurren Lagann)
One Piece
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure
Hunter x Hunter (Both versions are good but the first ends at the start of York New cities arc, iirc)
Samurai Champloo
Dragon Ball + Sequential series that come chronologically after.

If any sports series applied to the OPs tastes Id imagine theyd be along the lines of.

Kenichi the Mightiest Disciple
Tengou Tenge
Shura no Toki Mutsu Enmei Ryuu Gaiden
Baki the Grappler

As all of these -while not strictly shounen- involve sports based fighting.

Nope! It's hitting such high scores because of the 19th episode (it gave the anime that boost it lacked) which was great I won't deny it, but most of the other parts are pretty much mediocre.

Nah, with MAL it sometimes takes a while for the shows to reach their actual post-finish score that culls all the scores from people who dropped before finishing 1/4-1/5 of the show (in this case, 5 episodes). With this season, it's been especially weird about this whole thing if you look at the scores of shows like Sounan Desu ka and To The Abandoned Sacred Beasts and whatnot.

Exactly, it's well-produced, that's the only reason people worship the show so much, because of the unlimited budget animation.
MHA with the budget of Golden Kamuy would be the flop of the decade.

Objectively, No, Many past shounen such as Yu Yu Hakusho, Hunter x Hunter, and DBZ have had much more depth to their shows compared to this. While the animation is really good, the writting, plot, and characters all lack in luster. However in my opinion it is better then its rival Shounen show My Hero Academia


Of course to many new anime watchers watching shounen for the first time in their lives they will think this is one of the best shows their eyes every laid eyes on. For those people, I simply ask them to expand their watch list.

In my opinion, Kimetsu no Yaiba has a potential to become a good shounen story, but still not the best shounen anime. There's a lot of lack in this series that still need to explain in detail. Although, I like its art and animation and I admit its popularity through all of the anime fans because that's one of the biggest reason that KnY stands high up there in the ranking list
