Aight ab to read an arc again

The best episode is the one he kills L and second place is the finale

Dr. Stone is anime for kiddies and it's corny

Tokyo Ghoul S2 isn't that bad and has the best OP of any anime

Demon Slayer and My Hero are mad overrated

Serial Experimentals Lain is the best anime ever made

Attack on Titan isn't even a Shounen, yes it's in Shounen Jump magazine but it's 100% more of a mature action/drama/fantasy show than a Shounen show - Shounen fits more to shows like Naruto/DBZ/One Piece - shows about power ups and big fights.

Shinkai is fine, lmao. His most recent movie wasn't that great but Garden of Words and Your Name were both good and fine. Mostly everything else you said right tho, Darling in the Franxx is ass that rode off the fact that Trigger worked on it for like 10 episodes.

"I only like watching buff men scream at each other" = slice of life anime are dogshit

"I don't like it" doesn't mean it sucks zzzzzzzz learn to appreciate a medium

I think Bleach is overhated but definitely deserved criticisms. Too much filler was stuck into the anime (given they had to due to manga speeds), and the ending of the manga wasn't great - given that was Jump's fault for cancelling Kubo and not on him at all. HXH is fine and actually a great show, one of the best designed power systems in all of anime.

The point on Shounens is just wrong, no point in debating it.

Bleach was pretty good - not bad, but definitely deserved its criticisms. Fullbring arc was ass.

Agreed on K-On! Slime is also great.

It's pretty inarguable that Shinkai is one of the greats, I want more details if you want to try and knock him down.

Naoko Yamada is most definitely underappreciated. Mostly because The Shape of Voice came out the same year as Your Name and got kind of overshadowed in a sense.

spirited away

Deadman Wonderland is simply held back by the fact that they refused to adapt the rest of the manga for ??? reasons, I assume tied to it's reception in Japan.

Naruto was only ever good because Kishimoto ripped off the Harry Potter books

It stopped being good once he stopped biting Rowling

Finally, last post now that I read everything.

A lot of people on this site/in this thread have no concept of anime genres and just call everything they've watched with male protag characters shounen.

Also, if you don't speak Japanese, don't critique pieces that require understanding of Japanese and Japanese culture, because you probably just don't understand. (Chihayafuru, Weathering With You, Your Name, ect.)

Wrong

It’s going to be okay man this too shall pass

YLIA hate

lmfao you out here praising Death Note but saying Dr. Stone is for kids how f***ing dumb

What makes you think this

No matter how you’d like to put it, it still falls under Shounen lol — it’s part of the demographic. I mean yea it’s got more meat to its bone, but it’s not exactly the first time its happened no. There’s Shounen shows that would/could/can = Seinen, and vice versa. All a matter of technicality. I’m really not to argue it’s placement, imo if it’s good it’s good y’know that’s all I really care about

Jus wanna say i appreciate ur avi and that manga does not get enough love

The new gen shonen just not on the same league as the major ones that's been around when Naruto was still being published

Putting aside the commercial success Shinkai's output has always been average, he's really the industry's equivalent of Drake

Dr. Stone is pretty much The Magic School Bus but without the good characters and humor

Really all they do is encounter a new problem, solve it with science and make corny jokes during

That's cool and all but they don't have to pretend they have a plot / characters because it's all very predictable and corny

It's obvious no one's gonna die and no bad thing will ever happen, Senku is the smartest smartie on Earth and knows everything, and the power of friendship or whatever

Also people making a stupid reaction face is not funny the 200th time they do that

Pokemon is probably the most popular anime where I live

I guess it's mostly for kids
