@@markro1049 shounen fans keep using the word mid to disrespect other anime and to show their anime is superior its mostly big 3 fans using the word 'mid'.
Yall hating shounen but your favorite anime are romance slice of life anime that revolve are 2 corny teens and they corny everyday highschool love for each other. Many shounene are braindead but you are not gonna tell me most shojo arent.
I used to think Dragon Ball hadn't aged well, and in some respects it hasn't. But when I got into the original manga, I realized what a lot of the appeal actually was: Toriyama's art is fantastic. I mean REALLY fantastic. Not in the same way Oda and Araki's art is where it's super detailed, but instead it's exceptionally clean and flows really nicely. Even if you don't like watching Dragon Ball, you probably at least like to draw it. The world and character designs do a lot of the heavylifting compared to the actual storytelling.
@@anuragp7513 Humor is very subjective. Regarding "repetition" I do not see why this is a problem in Dragon Ball and not One Piece. One Piece follows the same pattern in every arc and nobody says that it is "outdated" or that it is bad and "repetitive".
@@TheDFyfe yeah i figured that was the case, i mean... it's right there, lol You just add the outrage Joey called for and boom, you have Taro Yamada Jenkins Smith
Damn it that's a good one, even though I feel insulted by it, even though the joke is not directed towards me. Sorry, Garnt, for saying "Damn it that's a good one". I don't know how insulted you feel by the salt, but your probably eating it excitedly now as I'm typing this reply.
REMEMBER when The AnimeZone announced he was making a video comparing One Piece, Bleach, and Naruto? It took him the longest time to get it out then announced that he wouldn't because he wasn't happy with it. I have been waiting for that video since, but this is probably close enough, AnimeZone.
Damn, didn't think anyone else remembered this! I was also on the same boat as you. In the first vid he did I could already tell he just wanted to say "of course One Piece is the best, are you high?"
The pure respect for Ippo in this video brings a tear to my eye. Also, for those that don't know, the manga gets updated weekly, has been going on since 1989, and the mangaka runs a boxing gym. He knows his stuff.
As a lover of ippo i love seeing it there. i just wish he woulda ended it and started a separate sequel series like naruto and boruto as the new content just isn't near as good and i had to stop reading it or it'd of killed my love for the series and show. Cause while we still follow ippo there is just no reason to he really is just a side character it feels like in his own manga at this point.
As a huge hajime no ippo fan i said "YES!" when he put it in peak mid lol, the manga is SOO GOOD and i heard that a season 4 is in the makings so i cannot wait.
I think the thing with Fairy Tail that makes it extremely hit or miss for a ton of people is that it relies on you caring about the characters. I personally love Fairy Tail, even with its flaws, and it's because I grew to really love the characters. It's not the deepest shounen, yeah, but it's good fun and just felt very home-y to me. If you don't care about the cast though, it'll definitely make it a slog to watch sonce it is character focused. It'll always hold a special place in my heart personally, and it's one of the shounen I'm most nostalgic for.
Every single show relies on you caring about the characters, fairy tail fails to do that for alot of people. If you like it thats fine but please accept that thats why people dislike it.
@@sensationalgamer193 I don't personally agree with the comparison, and I have my reasons for it. But I felt I'd be wasting my breath since at the end of the day it's just all down to opinions. Besides I think if I even attempted to explain why I *personally* think Fairy Tail isn't so bad as everyone makes it out to be, a bunch of annoying people will comment simply saying I'm wrong when....it's an opinion 💀 hell I already got replies like that when all I did was explain why I like the show and my opinion on why I think it doesn't work for some while it really works for others lmao
As someone who didn't grow up with Bleach in high school and only started watching it around the end of college, Soul Society Arc truly is a really damn good arc even without the rose-tinted glasses.
Bleach only gets bad when you realize Kubo just wanted to write the Soul Society arc like that was his dream in life, his childhood aspiration, and he tried to realize it by reskinning the SS arc while changing its name 2 more times.

Neat to see that after a decade without a new anime season, you still put Hajime no Ippo at the top. Mad respect. Greetings from the Netherlands, you absolute madman.
I started watching one piece a few weeks ago, and I went in with such high expectations in fact I was trying to dislike it but here I am 280 episodes later, sobbing about a crew of pirates. It is peak fiction, without a doubt. I’m a believer now Edit: Just wrapped up marineford. What an incredible series. I’m so glad I started on this journey! I’ll see you all in wano my nakama. Edit2: AFTER SO LONG HALF A YEAR… I have just landed in wano! Thankful for this show.
Welcome aboard! Just to get you hyped, the newest episode, 1015 is probably the best episode ever so it’s just getting started! Lots of time to catch up. I just started in December and finally caught up. Just working on the last 20 chapters of the manga.
@@12sikrabfinah have you seen them harassing artists like theres no tomorrow? I agree that they’re weird but also one of the most toxic and disgusting group people I’ve ever seen
Well I mean dbs anime is sooo different compared to the manga because its made for audiences of 13 and under so you really gotta serperate when comparing db and dbz to dbs
I’ve watch anime since I was little, back in the Inuyasha, Naruto and Sailor Moon, but I never got into One Piece. After hearing Trash Taste talk about it on their 24 hour charity stream, I decided to start the One Piece manga last week and I’m obsessed. I’m only 240 chapters in though. I’ve been reading like 3-5 volumes a day.🤣
As someone who watch Black Clover, I'm actually agree with this opinion. That show just keep getting better and better! Although I have problem finishing the first episode back then when it first airing. Something about the show feels just like a classic shounen series to me.
@@vedangnarvekar4186 I wouldn't say the manga is that good currently, the villains were a bit lackluster and there were so many asspulls. Lucifero was such a big let down, I think black clover's peak was at the elf arc or somewhere near that arc.
@@theophrastusbombastus827 I wl agree that lucifero was a letdown and probably one of the worst villains in bc tho so far there was only one ass pull which was tdu (decipher if u can) . tho all hope is not lost yet as at the end of the chp adramalech did a creepy smile so he might do something in the next chp
I've mostly read the manga but for me Noragami is a high above mid. I just love the relationship that the characters have with each other as well as the mood and atmosphere. 22:42
Overall, very respectable list. Though some are different for me and that's okay BECAUSE anime hits different to each other. We don't always feel the same with others when we watch them.
Agreed (ill take a diff genre as example) for mecha some people have a differen "best" like me personally its GL but thats because its got more significance to me and hits harder than the others, while someone else might say EVA or Gundam. Everyones list is gonna differ its all about enjoying them and spreading that enjoyment with others who take part in it
If you guys haven't watched Hajime no Ippo yet I highly recommend giving it a shot, even if you're not into sports/sports anime, cuz a lot of it is about the characters and their story which set the stakes for every fight. Imagine the hype of the entire MHA tournament but instead you get this hype condensed into EVERY big boxing match in this show. And like Garnt said, it'll one-up itself with every fight. You'll get used to the old anime style in no time as you get invested in the characters and story progression. Trust me on this one. I disliked the look of older anime shows but now it's one of my favourite anime of all time. It's done by MadHouse so yes the animation in every fight is top tier, combined with the perfect sound effects. It's also surprisingly funny at times. It's also somehow one of my favourite comedy anime lol
When I first started reading I was thinking it would take forever and be hella tedious to get through. Then I catch up and wonder how I got through 989 chapters in 3 weeks of semi-casual reading. Ippo gets a special spot in my heart because the story and the characters could absolutely be real people in a real story. Sure it gets a little exaggerated at bits but it really tells the plight and hardship that fighters go through without letting it get too dreary in the details.
I will agree that Hajimme no Ippo is great but my god currently in the manga I want Morikawa to make a fucking decision with Ippo. He heavily alludes that Ippo will make the decision to do something but he keeps not doing it and it feels like it is going to be another 100 chapters before Ippo makes that decision. Just make a decision Morikawa already. Not to say there haven't been some good parts in what is going on I just want to see Ippo do it.
@@pathora4484 it's really obvious that Ippo is going back to the ring, but he needs a reason, remember that he never wanted to be a champion, he was mostly going along with the desires of everyone around him. Ippo always wanted to not be weak, to help his Mother and to fight Miyata, first was accomplished when he won the rookie tournament, Third was cancelled because of Bad timing and Miyata's issues and the second is something he doesn't need boxing for. He needs one thing to push him back in the ring, that is probably going to be finding out that the coach is dying but odds are that it happens after the fights of Ippo's rivals.
@@imatiu i dont think it will be the coach condition(but could be, and i dream of nekota training sessions). I think it will be a self realization probably after a former rival fight.
Hunter x Hunter is great, but it's too sad that new episodes don't come out anymore. The show feels like it should have like 500 more episodes to be properly finished, considering the amount of unfinished and barely scratched story arcs. I hope that someday we'll get more of HxH episodes. EDIT: Lol, I finished HxH like a month ago and it's already leaving its 7 years long hiatus. How lucky am I?
What? how 500? I thought the manga only had like 50-60 chapters after the anime ended. That's like 25 episodes. Not saying I wouldn't absolutely love 500 more episodes, but only if the quality is the same, I don't want hunter hunter to be something like Naruto
@@takeuchi5760 he means the anime should be around 500 episodes just because of the potential it has, the dark continent hasn't been explored yet, we haven't seen kurapika taking revenge on the whole phantom troupe, the other continents and hunters aswell.

It'll never not be sad that Joseph was nerfed. Imagine how parts 3 and 4 would've been if he hadn't been nerved and kept with his hamon training. He'd have looked like a slightly older Young Joseph in part 3 and the ripped Old Joseph in Part 4. You could even have him be the one to defeat Red Hit Chili Pepper.
@@halftimedeus8871 well he has to watch the 382 repetitive isekai shows with lollies, no time for the best anime series even on MAL for the most time that's only 64 episodes. Again, anime expert. that's what brought animes to the condition they are today
@@rtosviewer7915 Well he's not wrong, if you take 5 minutes to think about dragonball 90% of it is just average, especially writing wise, and ESPECIALLY super
So glad that someone is showing some love to Hajime No Ippo, that show was awesome, doesn't have fillers, you thought an episode is a filler but it's canon. The balance of comedy, action, drama is so good, and Jyoji Morikawa sure showcasing his knowledge about the sport. Man the manga art especially in fight scenes are a thing of beauty!
Main reason HnI fandom died out is because Mangaka put a bullet between their eyes. I was super hype on the series after watching the anime and follow manga for several years but yeah without spoiling i think mangaka took a route no one wanted just to ''keep it real'' and yeah.
@@normlord6357 Well to me I like where the show is going, that's what I loved about the show, it's not always gold sometimes you'll get silver or worse you'll not get anything. I humbly believe that Morikawa shows the harsh reality of boxing as a career, but the only problem I have is it's taking so long but with the latest chapter it could finally be the hope for the fans like me to see what were the purpose of Ippo's "rest" and if it bear something good.
naruto series be like naruto keeps on getting plot armors every nanosecond n is basically plot device god mean while sasuke is still getting his asbeaten like it is his tradition theres nospot light in this show for him now dont make me talk about the other side characters who ar just kishimotos ultimate punching bags for narutos plot
Agreed about One Piece, some of the best feelings I have ever felt in a show. The moment chopper joins the crew, marinford Ace, Robin in ennis lobby, are some of the most emotional moments.

I just read all of One Piece in the past month and completely agree that it is one of the best pieces of fiction of all time. The world building and emotions evoked are simply unbelievable, and somehow Oda still keeps getting better even after 25+ years.

just finished YYH this week. Searched up what happened during the last arc cause you could clearly see togashi was planning something massive. apparently man's current health issues where acting up and the schedule of yyh wasnt letting him take the breaks he needed so he chose the selfish option of just ending the series to find his peace. Like somewhere out there is a world where togashis health never bothered him and he just keeps dropping banger after banger after banger. unfortunately that world aint this one

@@jesusofsuburbia3675 Out of curiosity, what did you think of the ending of Magi (If you've read it)? Spoiler for the mid-portion of Magi I guess.

@@ramuki9427 the one after the solomon arc or the one with the medium? If so I agree with the one after the solomon arc, the final arc was far too rushed after sinbad did his thing
Maaan, talking about One Piece fans praising it too much gives so much nostalgia. I myself got into One Piece (my favorite manga, period) by disputing with my friend 15 years ago about what is better Bleach or One Piece (I haven't watched One Piece and shitted on it and my friend shitted on Bleach and also haven't watched it), so we agreed that I will watch 20 episodes of One Piece and he will watch 20 episodes of Bleach. Result - my friend dropped Bleach after Soul Society arc (when the "vampire" shit came in) and I watch and read One piece till this day (and initially watched One Piece from the beginning to Thriller Bark arc (which was up to date at that time) non stop in about 1-1.5 week. Cheers to you mate, thanks for giving some nostalgia and some notes on what to rewatch)
@@jerryhound281 i know it's too much to ask but a couple of arcs more and you'd probably realize that everything actually matters. even the seemingly insignificant arcs/scenes you already watched.
I've watched bleach up until that vampire arc (that shit was hard for me to keep watching but I'm trying). The soul society arc was good though. I've also shitted on one piece back then cause I didn't have the time to watch it till last year and it seemed "overpraised" for me. I gave it a 100 episodes and damn before I know it I was on Enies Lobby arc. Then I stoped at 400 cause I have schoolworks to do and because watching anime is really time consuming so I had to stop there. But when I saw the news that Toei was getting hacked or smth and they can't release a one piece episode, I started binging that shit again and now I'm on Dressrosa arc. One piece is a really good shounen adventure anime and also has a surprisingly dark world. I'm so glad I decided to watch it. Gonna start reading the manga too after I catch up to the anime.
As a Dragonball fan, I completely agree. I think it was best when the martial arts were the focus and getting Dragonballs were a supreme task. Stakes were the highest, and all of its fights felt more impactful in a way.
Dragon ball even with its flaws deserves above mid rank. Aint no way giguk just took DBS and said "yep, this is why the ENIRETY of db is mid". LIKE BRO DID YOU FORGET THE ENTIRE NAMEK, ANDROID AND CELL SAGA???
@@HExtraordinaire the Dragon Balls have limitations, the earth Dragon Balls can't revive someone who had already died but could revive multiple people, and the namek Dragon Balls could revive anyone multiple times bit could only revive one person per wish.
@@lexpanics6872 he never said that though??? You just seem like a salty db fan tbh. He said db and dbz were good. It’s just compared to new animes, the story and fights aren’t as good as new ones, which isn’t bad. Db and dbz are from the 80s, and it only makes sense if new animes are just better. Dbz still has its goat status though.
One Piece is unbeatable. The way it has made me cry in the middle of night, made me gasp for air, laugh and covered my whole body with goosebumps, I still haven't felt this with ANY other anime- no matter its brilliant animation or writing.
When I started Jojo earlier this year, I was ready for suffering thru Phantom Blood because everyone said it was so bad, but I loved every minute of it.
Before I watched Jojo, I heard about it but knew nothing about it or it’s content. Nothing except that it was popular and good. So everything from the beginning was awesome for me. I just felt it kept getting better.

Eyeshield 21 is so underrated. It's probably my second favorite sports anime behind Ippo (I haven't watched Haikyu, but its on my list eventually). ES21 manga is just sensational, the art and character writing...it can inspire the hearts of young men. When he took off the mask, that was hype. When he earned the title he was falsely given, that was hype. When he went stiff-armed Agon into the ground, so many good moments. The only thing I really had frustrations with was the last arc, the JPN dream team, I just felt there needed to be more character interactions instead of focusing on the Pentagon or whatever they were called. The only dude that really mattered was Panther lol. It is ALSO one of the few manga I could read beginning to end without feeling bored. For example, Ippo has dull stretches. One Piece, as much as I love it, has dull stretches. Maybe its an unfair comparison since both said manga have 1000+ chapters, but the point still stands. The pacing for ES21 was really good, the training arc wasn't boring and it made you appreciate each member of the cast. You spent just enough time with each character to appreciate them. Also, Sena is a likeable main character, something many shonen have trouble with in western audiences I feel (just my opinion). I really appreciated Sena. He wasn't no pretty boy, but did he have a soul of a competitor. The anime for ES21 was awful though. It just...it did not do the original artist any justice. Also, it made the game look silly - how sequences would happen on the field and would appear nonsensical. At least in the manga you could kind of envision in your mind the correct sequence if you know the game well enough.
Finally someone mention eyeshield 21!!! Man, i love it so much! Also ur right about dull moment, i really had a hard time to finish any mangas/anime/novel with alot chapters, no matter how much i love it. Even when im yelling that this is the best anime or manga ever, i still havent finish it.... if i hve top 6, i probably didnt finish the half. Its really bad. But e21? i even read it 3 time. Its so packed, no waste chap, every chap is so thoughtful and alot going on in 1 chap, the detail, the goal is always clear ,the art is epic, and the characters are all enjoable. I've used e21 for study material, and man, i just realized.. e21 is very difficult. Much more difficult than i thought. More difficult than any other mangas. My brain get heat from thinking(i dont know how to explain it, so just leave it like that) I love e21 characters. So many cool characters. Like Hiruma.. man, i never see any characters like hiruma. The coolest and uniqe. Dispite how difficult his character is, he never break a character. And also e21 hv the rarest useful relevant characters, mamori.
I tried to watch this show as a huge NFL fan. In the first episode, they called a fumble and interception and got so many rules, positions, concepts wrong about the game. I dropped it so fast. Maybe if I knew nothing about football I'd enjoy it, but it's really REALLY hard to get into if you are a sports fan.
Hunter x Hunter will forever be one of my favorites. The way the characters are written are just incredible; seeing as the Phantom Troupe were written to be seen in a human like way. I don’t think I’ve ever liked villains as much as I liked the Phantom Troupe. The ant chimera arc has slow pacing, yes, but imo it didn’t disappoint. The anime isn’t afraid to kill off certain characters too. And I just really like the writing of Kurapika specifically. Gon’s descent into despair during the chimera arc was really well thought out, as well as Killua’s character development. I’ve seen other animes that are a close second to HXH, but there’s just something magical about Togashi’s writing. Edit: Just because you don’t agree with me, doesn’t mean you should send hate comments. I understand not liking hxh, but respect my opinion as I respect yours. It isn’t hard.
Got into HxH a few months ago, just finished the Chimera arc and it’s such an amazing show. I really love what’s done with the Shounen genre, expanding it while also flipping the tropes in such a genius way. Growing up with Naruto watching this show made me appreciate both series even more. You can clearly see what inspired Naruto and how Kishimoto took inspiration and expanded them into a completely different beast. Naruto def deserves some of the valid critiques which hindered it from reaching the greats, but I feel that there are some truly amazing aspects many seem to have forgotten due to the series reputation. I’m glad HxH managed to package everything so neatly that it’s hard to deny the Shounen masterclass it is. The dynamic between Naruto x Sasuke, in contrast to Killua and Gon is an example of that. You can clearly see the blueprint but how it’s still it’s own thing.
Seven Deadly sins and Promises Neverland fans think they have it bad but at least people are allowed to talk about the series. Being a Rouin Kenshin fan is true suffering as not only did it have a excellent anime but probably a live action series some could say was better the the O.G series.
My only complaint with this list are some shows were judged by their peak while others were not. For example YYH got a high rating even tho we can admit the early parts and finals arcs are mid af. But naruto was placed much lower for the same issues while having a shit load of high points. Imo both should have been placed near each other tbh. Naruto just for its length and dominate run time of a decade of great moments should get a little pass for the fumble that was the final war arc like YYH did. I hope one day YYH gets a modern remake that shit would bang
If you’ve read or watched jujutsu kaisen , chainsaw man or other modern takes on the shounen genre and compare it to the dragon ball franchise you realize the standards for shounen anime has risen significantly. The story telling, character design, world building, interesting power systems, believable and consistent power scaling, there’s just too many things that the new gen authors have refined.
agreed and pople saying old gen are better I feel like are just talking about big 3 or hunter maybe forgetting all the other old animes with pretty basic plotlines and general story execution
I also agree with this argument. Its like the old shounen anime are the ones that placed the standard of shounen genre. This new gen authors are trying to be creative with their storytelling in a desire to outdo the standards of this old shounen anime. But it doesnt mean that the old animes are not good, in fact they are very entertaining that we, as a viewer or reader, can differentiate what shounen anime is good or bad nowadays because they already placed that standard in the first place
cant agree with story telling and world building tho.............................i have watched maybe more than 2 to 300 animes and still yet to find anime like one piece where each and every character be it main or side has been used properly and about worldbuilding One piece comes second to none
@@thokchomb3 no, I agree that one piece has one of the best and expansive world building, but one piece is NOT your average shounen anime. There are so many other older anime from the 90s and early 2000s that are subpar today's standards
@@choidaniel2040 in my take for the newer animes the animation, characters, fights all that is cool but when it comes to story the settings almost feels similar to me.........nowadays i watch mostly feel good anime like isekai shokudai , slime or spy family
From someone who really likes Fire Force, I can say that some parts of the first season did sting quite a bit, and that the second season did not only a lot of world building but also character building. It still has some of the issues of before, but I'd say it definitely became less reliant on the fanservice of Tamaki (I also think they downplayed it quite a bit, but don't quote me on that). Also, the way some characters progressed in the story is actually just incredible, especially with the amazing animation AND sound design. I'd say give it a try, and you'd probably feel more inclined to atleast rank it average or higher.
The first season was really nice I enjoyed the fight scenes and all felt nicely paced, and the story seemed somewhat interesting, Mc still believing that his brother is alive and that he didn’t die ( I really liked the aspect that there was a mysterious entity that killed his mom and such and I forgot if they talked about who it was but it was cool) after season one it fell off for me, the fan service was annoying in s1 but it got even more annoying in s2. The fight scenes were so badly paced. You would see shin fighting a guy for a good 5 minutes then see the other tm8s fighting their dude for a couple minutes then end of episode. The whole new girl pillar arc was just awful because of that. Made watching every episode painful just wanting to see the good fights. Also the whole story of it just got so confusing. From a simple I want to go save my brother to some lady inside the city’s furnace and not letting them get pillars??? Idek season 2 killed it.
@@urmum6991 i don't care what the reason is, its annoying. Took a cool character and made her the generic fan service girl when she could've been really badass
Hajime no Ippo gives you feels after every major match then you get to listen to that ending song. You can feel the training/hardships that Ippo endured to reach that point. Good manga/anime.
The end credit song legit makes me cry. It reminds me of my failures and pushes me to get better. Perhaps it feels more sentimental as it is played when Volg leaves.
I love that Garnt put Air Gear in Above Mid and barely explained it. He says “roller skating with rockets” nah it’s not just that, it’s like if roller skates had Stands. There’s some truly insane abilities in that series by the end and it really sucks how the series was barely getting started in the one season we got. Just imagine all the music we could have had produced or supervised by Hideki Naganuma by now if the series got to continue!
Oh damn, that’s a great way to put it. Rollerskates had stands. Honestly, my first impression of it is just doing tricks and racing. Never expected it to be a fucking gang war. Not to mention the art… Oh Great is a fucking God
I’m surprised Garnt didn’t watch Magi when season 1 & 2 were going on, it was pretty massive then. I really loved the second season in particular, one of my favorite battle shounens arcs to be honest. The manga was great until the final arc where it had some interesting ideas, but floundered on the execution and was clearly rushed after a pivotal point in the story.
I really think if the author gave it some thought and planned it a bit better, she really could've produced one of the best Shounen ever. It's so interesting, mature and unlike pretty much any other Shounen, but the execution of it was just terrible.
Magi is insanely underrated. For me its one of the greatest of all Time. The amount of research the author must have collected from History, Politics and philosophy for this work is beyond of what most of the shows have to offer. I think thats also a reason why it doesnt stick for many people because it gets quite complicated.
@@KaleEb449 I disagree the only issue I had with Magi was the ending. And apparently that was just bad due to the fact the ending was forced with the manga being cancelled. Personally I think its really disappointing that not very many people got into Magi
(Jujutsu Kaisen) when Mahito kills Junpai I was convinced he was gonna make it to the school (because he was at the school in the OP). mahito and sukuna laughed over his death, the scene set up and subverted my expectation so that it felt like I was the one being laughed at for thinking he was gonna make it. it gave me a connection to Itadori and made the following fight personal. I've never had any other anime any do that, so at that moment Jujutsu Kaisen became my favorite anime.
Tbh it felt more of a scam to me since he has a better backstory than most characters in the show. Killing off well written characters while leaving tropey generic characters leaves a bad taste in my mouth
Honestly that freaking hurt the shit out of me, but it only made JJK even more enjoyable for me. It pretty much stood itself as a different series compared to others airing at that time bc of that But damn it to hell as a manga reader, to think that Junpei's death is only scratching the surface of Gege's plan to mentally fuck with Yuji is just so depressing
Interesting that he’s never seen Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood. It’s definitely my favorite in just about every way. The story was well written and not too long, had amazing animation, and the ending is my favorite ending in an anime ever. I’m not the biggest watcher of anime in the world, but have watched quite a few from more obscure slice of life’s to the 400+ episode shounens, but nothing has made me feel the same way as FMAB has.
The beauty of the shonen anime is that everyone has a different "peak" anime that resonates with them for one reason or another. I do not care about my favourite being called mid, it's peak for me.
I can name like 10 one piece moments where my mouth was agape. I can’t say that for any other anime. Here’s my top 10 OP moments (spoilers obviously) 10. Luffy stops doffy from killing law 9. Luffy defeats katakuri 8. Luffy loses his entire crew on sabaody 7. ACE DEATH??? 6. Straw hats hold up their x’s for vivi 5. Nothing Happened 4. Burning the Merry 3. Eneru shocked face (hilarious but also epic) 2. Luffy punching down doflamingo 1. Sogeking shooting through the government flag Edit: I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT THE SCENE WITH THE BARREL WHERE THEY ALL SAY THEIR DREAMS, how did i forget
It seems that the high number of episodes also has an effect on this. By the way, I think most of the events you mentioned are classic shounen features :)
Judging all of dragon ball as one entity is definitely unfair, regardless of the final tier given. Dragon ball is something vastly different than Z, DBS is something vastly different from the old DB/DBZ as well (most would agree it's much shitter). Especially when Jojo is divided into like 6 parts
A problem I think with the dragon ball anime is that it's really the most fun to watch when it's just dumb fun fighting but it would've been way too expensive to do that and make it look good which explains the insane amounts of filler but it does deliver when it comes to the actual fight
One Piece is one of the few stories where it truly is better near the end than the beggining. Most shows are great at the beginning and slowly decline. Or they start decently, reach their peak, and then decline. One Piece was good when it started, great after 400 chapters, amazing after 600 chapters, and fucking insane at 1000+ chapters!
Fucking insane after 1000+? Nah, more like fucking trash after 1000+ chapter, cuz Luffy was the god all the time and it didn't matter how many struggled or trained. His damn fruit name changed and he was the choosen one and destined to be the pirate king from the moment he ate that fruit. Oda ruined all comic with this stupid move. One Piece was a unique case because of Luffy was not a god, was not a choosen one or didn't have extremely powerful ability and was struggling sometimes because of this. But now? No, it's just a cliched shounen comic.
@KingKami No, I was reading the story, that is the sad part. I wasted all that time for this cliched shounen bullshit. If I knew that his fruit was an extremely op mythical zoan, then I wouldn't read the story from the start. Everything is meaningless now and no, I don't think he can die cuz he already died while he was fighting against Kaido, but his mythical zoan fruit revived him. Do you remember how Cipher Pol agents interfered their fight and Luffy died with Kaido's hit? How could you say Luffy didn't die at that moment? He clearly died and revived thanks to his "god" fruit.
As someone who got back into Anime because of My Hero... I completely agree. It doesn't have the same flare it used to, not to say it can't get that flare back though.
it's because they now have to deal with making a movie alongside the anime, so these past seasons has been painful due to pacing and animation issues. From this point onward, there would be no more boring school arcs.
i thought the season 6 manga material was really good but it’s dwindled back to underwhelming. It did bring readers back for amazing stuff like JJK and Chainsaw man though which is worth something
As someone who read the manga for Haikyuu, the ending was absolutely amazing and 100% deserves to be on peak mid tier for sure. One of the greatest shonen series ever made tbh especially in the sports genre.
I always say the same thing the manga's ending is soooo good it easily is on par with slam dunk as the best sports manga (haven't seen hajime no ippo tho)
Hajime no Ippo, Slam Dunk and Haikyuu are what peak sports manga looks like. Diamond no ace come really close though with my boy Sawamura's developpement.
This is the 1st time I've seen a content creator talk about Medaka box and I'm so glad you liked it Kumogawa Misogi is my favorite antagonist in Shonen and top 5 favorite anime characters
yeah it flew completly under the Radar. But this is actualy a show that would deserve its own Spot since its actualy the Anti Shounen Manga. Its more a parody of the entire concept then anything else but this give it kinda its own charm.
Oda could write a chapter,and everyone will call it peak one piece And when the next chapter is out,everyone will call that peak That's just how oda works He's is great at foreshadowing and connecting things
I wanted to try watching the first episode or two because I saw the supposed "peak" gear 5 fight scene against the dragon guy, and it felt like loonie tunes to me, so maybe I should give it the benefit of the doubt
Garnt's love and respect for One Piece is just something beautiful in my eyes. Eichiro Oda is a genius who will be remembered throughout the history of animanga for his work.
naruto is a duumpster fire show about a guy giving basic knowledge to change some braain deead villains who destroy their own villages ,ppl ,friends ,relatives for miner reasons and then some duumb guy with whiskes also the duumbbest in the planet who doesnt study with zero brain power changed villains minds by giving some basic logic talk. villains even after meeting hundreds of wayyy more matured ppl who have way more iq than the mc and naruto gets shhitton of plott armours ,aspuls every second from his bf kishimoto with no explanation and dudes doesnt even train for his modes and he's from a elite clan even a child of prophecy ,reincarnation of gods, and has a unlimited recharge plot device inside of him aka the fox , gets plot armor from random ghosts. than just like every time side characters ar treated as garrbage no spotlight for them and ppl die for no reason . kishimoto loves diickridding naruhœ to the point were even if sasuke got 10 tomoe renigan with sage of 66 paths baryon susono he will still get beaten by just narutos casual rasengan 💀. Naruto couldnt even create a shadow clone from beginning after than few seconds how dafuq was he able to create multiple clones just by seeing the scroll for couple of seconds .y didnt obito revived rin at the first place . this anime doesnt even make sense naruto is a hyppocrite duumbgeneric plain character whos just being depressed all the time for no reason and keeps thinking about his past and the swing instead of moving forwward but he just goes simping over sakura the whole series and screaming the shiiitout of his rivals name the whole show Even One piece is trillion times has better story n villains
Yuyu Hakusho is a perfect example of animation not being everything. The animation is dated but the show still slaps. I was watching the knife heel fight the other day and that shit slapped!
ppl who only watched naruto without even seeing other better animes they start defending it spamming ''naruto has a good story'' yea right by getting trillion boring flash backs , repeated plot and fillers craappy phacing, story about naruto the duumbbest guy in the planet giving talk no jutsu aka basic logic talk that only works on -1000 iq villains and making them realise peace wont come by destrroying innocent ppl even their own relatives and kishimoto dckriding naruto with infinte aspuls with unbeatable death retcons , child of prophecy , incarnation of jes'sus, ''defeated a top godly beast with some non sense script '' got unlimited fox powers becoz of a garr b@ge writing n powerscaling to the point where even if they gave sasuke sage of 66 paths of baryon susono he still would get beaten down becoz of narutos plot and treated every side character like garrbbage especially rock lee
Say what you want about One Piece, but one *UNDENIABLE FACT* is that the world building is the absolute best across all anime and manga. The way Oda introduces new settings, with new characters, adding in new plots, whilst intertwining all of it back into the main story, is just pure genius.
I love how you used undeniable and arguably in the same sentence xD I'd say Tower of God is also up there. It's just not as long (yet) even if it's technically not a manga
one piece is not in my top 5 anime but its world building is definateltly in the top three in all of anime,i dont think anyone can disagree that onepiece has one of the best worldbuilding
I’ve watched most of this list and other than OP being one of the few I haven’t seen, I gotta say, this list is rather respectable tbh. I have a few if put higher and a couple I’d put lower but only by on tier if anything. Can’t complain, this is a solid list.
Air gear and D-gray man are definitely highly under rated, and they're solid shounen that gets better and better as the chapters goes, a clear up slope type
quick question, is d-gray man still running? i heard the author had some serious wrist problems and went on a hiatus, and then it restarted, but i never heard about it ending or not.
"It still fells like One Piece hasn't peaked." Gig's said this before over the years and I've always agreed with him. But uhh.... Anyone up to date with the recent chapters? Definitely feels like it's starting to peak now. Crazy to say that after 25 years.
Oda has his shortcomings for sure (e.g. fake deaths), but you gotta admit that no author has been as consistent as him at being a great mangaka. Like it isn't just being consistently good”, but consistently “great”. Even his bad arcs are actually good by many people's standards. And like Garnt said, it always seem like One Piece still hasn't reached its true peak despite many MANY amazing moments. Wano for me is the new peak. Latest chapters are really worthy of being called peak Shounen even if the manga as a whole isn't
I wouldnt say so. I know their are some people that are upset with the events that transpired in the most recent chapters. I disagree to an extent, I'm more upset about plot armor than anything. I still think the greatest arc is still to come based on the foreshadowing we have seen throughout the series.
I mean for 1044 people were so insanely hyped that in the OP Reddit they made like 3 different spoiler posts instead of the regular one. Yea Im with you, this is definitely A peak of one piece but when I think of whats still to come, idk if its the highest of peaks we will get to see, and thats why OP amazing.
I'd put Juju high-mid simply because it was highly enjoyable for me. I looked forward to every episode. The fights, the characters, the twists that were used to come out on top were great. Very much looking forward to more of it.
@@FoundingKaren great choreography tbh,ima just stop there can you even mention one thing it does bad? everything about it is good season 1 is bare minimum an 8/10 its just gonna go upwards from there
@@yaboiplank6764 I can. It does bad at powerscaling. They say the power of a Jujutsu hasn’t much to do about 1 or 2 years of training to justify the 1st year fighting against the 3rd year, but this doesn’t justify everything. First, that destroys the relevance of classing curses. By the end of S1, the protagonists can solo S class curses. Wtf, How can I get excited for a fight now if it’s not a S class curse or a hord of A classes. And who are the jujutsu who struggle with B/C classes ? Cause everyone we saw fighting looks fucking strong. The movie prequel said that there were only 16 S class curses, ok. But then the serie throws them at the protagonists like fodder mid bosses ?? I don’t understand why this ranking exists. Second, this is my opinion but seeing the protagonists being omega strong after 24ep ruins any shonen vibe it could send me. I can’t root for the protagonists they are among the strongest. Yuji litteraly did a world record perf with his 4 consecutive black flash… Nanami said it did 4 by chance, it was a world record and Yuji got to that level in 3 months. « Yes but they say when you do one it’s easier to do more », yes but Nanami said he did 4 by luck and it is a god damn world record. How can I root for someone who starts his journey as among the bests in the world ?? It also did bad the tournament arc. I don’t remember any justification for the vilains to attack at the time the school was the most protected. And if there was a reason, they could have waited for everyone to be half dead on the floor but noooo it’s better to attack as quick as possible so as many students can defend the school and their lives. This is trash shonen writing, interrupting a tournament arc for no reason just means you don’t want to say out loud « x is better than y ». And for my latest rant, it did very bad at integrating Yuji back to the protagonist trio. Yuji only knew his 2 friends for like a week before he was killed. Then the other 2 spent 2-3 months training together, overcoming the death of Yuji, starting your formation with such a trauma probably creates really strong bonds between people. But then Yuji comes back, and there is nothing awkward about it. He reintegrates the group like nothing happened. He doesn’t miss any private joke, he doesn’t feel like they created something without him. It’s bland as fuck. The only thing we have to adress this are the visuals of the end 2.
45:05 jujutsu kaisen in my opinion was the definition of new shonen, it has good animation, interesting plot and lots of humorous moments in my opinion it's high mid because it just does everything right.
I totally respect your opinion even though it's the opposite of mine. The humour fell flat for me (I laughed once or twice) and the plot (for me) is a fusion of bleach and Naruto but not as good.
I ONLY agree with a high-mid in the context of the manga. So far in the anime, it's got a basic plot (interesting for sure but it's basic for shounen) and I'm more interested in strong stories and events than animation (although the animation on it is, in fact, insane). I'm not spoiling but the manga manages to raise stakes and expand more on the characters and their abilities in a way that really pushes it over imo. In the end though, it's just an opinion I wanted to share, I'm just happy you enjoyed the show as well lol
@@richardakasunny5977 glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. I like that he's a play on the op old man trope, but he's so op that the author has to set up whole plot points to remove him from the story. Luckily it doesn't happen too often cause it would get old fast.
Hunter X Hunter is my favorite Shounen anime and one of my favorite animes of all time. The characters feel like real, competent people, they have very well-written character arcs. And characters that don't receive as much screentime as others are engaging and have a personality. The villains are amazing, the protagonists are amazing as well and the fight scenes are awe inspiring. The worlbuilding factor is not very fleshed out but it's really interesting and if given a chance it may have one of the best worldbuilding. Every character goes from point A to point B at the end of the series. And, Madhouse did an incredible job with the animation as well.
@@nathanielbenedict2197 I have watched Gintama it's hilarious and really badass and GTO is one of my favorite animes of all time but Hunter X Hunter is just for me.
i watched hunter x hunter a couple years ago but it just stopped in the middle of the anime.. pretty disappointing i dont even know if it ever got continued, can somebody help?
Having been an anime watcher for 24 years and a manga reader for 14 years I can confidently say Dragon Ball's manga has some of the best art I've ever seen and it does not get nearly enough credit as it deserves. For example, the early parts of the cell arc were truly horrifying and even gave me nightmares. The way Toriyama arranges panels is unmatched.
The most saddening part here is that he's never read Assassination Classroom 😭 I'm just mad because the author also wrote Neuro which got bastardized in the anime. It's such a bad adaptation that I'm a little relieved Garnt never watched it... So AssClass is like the author's only work anybody can appreciate in English nowadays... try out that series and when you realize it's good, ask Viz for more. 😥
@@neku2741 If it matters, the one (1) outstanding thing about Neuro was giving him DIO's voice actor Takehito Koyasu. It's worth watching like the first five minutes to hear him, haha. The rest of the anime... whew. Gotta love the "let's change the ending and add filler" era of anime. 😞
I read Bakuman years ago, and I still remember that line you mentioned. It was so impactful and just shows how good of a line it is that we still remember it years after.
Bakuman is one of my all time favourites, it's one of my few complete manga collections, and the only reason I don't own the anime is because it received such a shitty translation in the UK. Seriously, the UK release was translated from Japanese to French to English, why they couldn't just use the US release that was already there, I don't know...
naruto series be like naruto keeps on getting plot armors every nanosecond n is basically plot device god mean while sasuke is still getting his asbeaten like it is his tradition theres nospot light in this show for him now dont make me talk about the other side characters who ar just kishimotos ultimate punching bags for narutos plot
I gotta say, I loved Black Clover from the first season. But after the Elf restoration arc, there were so many fillers until it moved into the Devil arc when they go to the Heart kingdom to train. Other than the fillers, ESPECIALLY THE LAST 12 EPISODES, it was fucking insane.
What i liked about BC is that everyone there has his issues and personal problems. There is no "perfect" person in this anime, you can see everyones good sides right besides his bad attitudes. That makes characters more human, like a lot of One Piece characters.
@@edwardchau6871 I love the show and its characters but watching it was lack luster in its plot and ability to make me want to keep watching, although I managed to finish it. It redeemed itself during the last few episodes and I can't wait for the movie to be released
@@Deminese2 not when you have content to fill up the lenght. ur a child for saying that a show should be c-tier bc of its art style. art is subjective so ur opinion doesnt veen matter
I never thought slam dunk would be peak in his eyes, but I’m happy that people out there appreciate a piece of literature as amazing as Slam Dunk. It’s really a shame with Rurouni Kenshin, but I totally feel so connected to those shows and will always be thankful for making me stick with anime to this day.
@@johandgilgamesh5884 one piece is just a long repetitive dragon ball z copy , is just a waiste of time , instead of watching one piece u watch dragon ball z wich is way better and the creator of one piece cant stop copying it
As much as i love one piece it is by far my favorite anime my biggest issue is that some fights drag on for too long. Luffy v Doffy is one example i felt like the longer it dragged on the less impact each blow had and after like 10+ episodes of them punching each other for 5 minutes gets kinda boring it doesn't feel like they are really doing anything anymore
I couldn't bother to watch all 1000 plus episodes so I read the manga and it's a lot better. I only watched like 40 episodes of one piece anime , but I'm guessing it's better
@@hibakhan692 yeah I love one piece but I do understand the flaws and I've thought about just reading the manga but I haven't and don't regret it. And since you already read it you can just jump to the episodes with the really cool fights with no problem such as Zoro v King
One Piece is amazing but it’s anime is terrible. The manga is so excellent which is why it’s a shame the anime pads out the runtime so much, especially post time skip (although wano has been decent with cool animation lately). The anime is great for several hundred episodes though, so I tell my friends who wanna start OP to start with the anime until the pacing gets too slow for them and then switch to the manga
@@100frogbucket honestly that's kinda smart. I haven't read the manga myself but that's what I keep hearing that the animes pacing is so slow. I'm going to recommend that next time someone asks me about one piece
Season 6 of MHA is definitely going to go CRAZY. As a manga reader, I've enjoyed it immensely. I'm glad your opinion on Black Clover has changed since your original videos.
what’d you think of the more recent manga arc?(post raid) I’ve felt kinda let down. Like the scale and tone feels like it took a backstep. Still kinda fun but I was expecting a lot more
@@ethanwatson6131 Imo, they gotta set it up. You have to remember that there are a certain characters that have to be fleshed out first (example in the most recent chapter). So I expected it to be slower at first but I think it'll pick up soon. Kinda like the MVA Arc set up the Raid arc.
HunterxHunter and Fullmetal Alchemist are the two animes I come back again and again. Many from the animes he listed I enjoyed and often hyperfixated on them for a year or so. But none of them makes me come back like HxH and FMA. There´s just something so deep and meaningful behind these utterly human troubles they are facing (despite often being thrown in very unhuman situations). Also honorary mention for Gintama because it´s just ... different. And makes you think a lot, when you reach the serious parts.
HxH and FMAB are top 5 anime imo. Both are very philosophical in their own way, but I'd give the slight edge to Brotherhood because I remember less flaws with it
You hit the nail on the head. Other anime like Demon Slayer, JJK, MHA, etc. are fun to watch, but they don't have the consistency and depth that HxH & FMA:B do. Characters with deep wounds, choices with real consequences, plot with interwoven threads, & themes with universal meaning. That's what makes a story rewatchable & great.
Early Naruto was outrageously good. The first Team 7 mission against Zabuza opened this series sooo well. And of the tournament arcs, I think this one was really good. The late Naruto. Let's me just say I still haven't bothered to finish the manga. I agree where you put the anime but it hurts to agree to this knowing how much I loved the early part of the series.
I couldn't get past the hokage fighting snake man on the roof while naruto chases Sasuke chases gaara for like 10 straight episodes. It was pretty good until then tho
Imagine sitting through 80 episodes of filler trying to figure out why nothing is happening only to realize it was all filler and a complete waste of my life

Wtf garnt why no gintama?
I used to think Dragon Ball hadn't aged well, and in some respects it hasn't. But when I got into the original manga, I realized what a lot of the appeal actually was: Toriyama's art is fantastic. I mean REALLY fantastic. Not in the same way Oda and Araki's art is where it's super detailed, but instead it's exceptionally clean and flows really nicely. Even if you don't like watching Dragon Ball, you probably at least like to draw it. The world and character designs do a lot of the heavylifting compared to the actual storytelling.
Anime still goes hard too
The manga aged very well. It is far better than most shonen we have today.
@@luizhumbertocampos1103i feel like it's very repetitive and the jokes didn't seem funny to me
@@anuragp7513 Humor is very subjective. Regarding "repetition" I do not see why this is a problem in Dragon Ball and not One Piece. One Piece follows the same pattern in every arc and nobody says that it is "outdated" or that it is bad and "repetitive".

The pure respect for Ippo in this video brings a tear to my eye. Also, for those that don't know, the manga gets updated weekly, has been going on since 1989, and the mangaka runs a boxing gym. He knows his stuff.
As a lover of ippo i love seeing it there. i just wish he woulda ended it and started a separate sequel series like naruto and boruto as the new content just isn't near as good and i had to stop reading it or it'd of killed my love for the series and show. Cause while we still follow ippo there is just no reason to he really is just a side character it feels like in his own manga at this point.

@@kreeostravios5512 I feel like it's getting better and Volg is getting his first title defense as well so that's cool.
@@icantmeme4378 I hate to disappoint you, but their is no creditable source to S4 of Ippo.
I think the thing with Fairy Tail that makes it extremely hit or miss for a ton of people is that it relies on you caring about the characters. I personally love Fairy Tail, even with its flaws, and it's because I grew to really love the characters. It's not the deepest shounen, yeah, but it's good fun and just felt very home-y to me. If you don't care about the cast though, it'll definitely make it a slog to watch sonce it is character focused. It'll always hold a special place in my heart personally, and it's one of the shounen I'm most nostalgic for.
Every single show relies on you caring about the characters, fairy tail fails to do that for alot of people.
If you like it thats fine but please accept that thats why people dislike it.
Fairy tail is one of the worst shows and manga of all time in history.There are books from 400 yrs ago that are better at storytelling.
@@Halbell_ I understand that! I just wanted to give my personal input. I know my opinion is unpopular, and I'm not here to change anyone's mind lol
@@xx_koneka_xx6297 can't believe how can you be so easy about his opinion he is comparing Fairytail with boruto.
@@sensationalgamer193 I don't personally agree with the comparison, and I have my reasons for it. But I felt I'd be wasting my breath since at the end of the day it's just all down to opinions. Besides I think if I even attempted to explain why I *personally* think Fairy Tail isn't so bad as everyone makes it out to be, a bunch of annoying people will comment simply saying I'm wrong when....it's an opinion 💀 hell I already got replies like that when all I did was explain why I like the show and my opinion on why I think it doesn't work for some while it really works for others lmao
As someone who didn't grow up with Bleach in high school and only started watching it around the end of college, Soul Society Arc truly is a really damn good arc even without the rose-tinted glasses.
Bleach only gets bad when you realize Kubo just wanted to write the Soul Society arc like that was his dream in life, his childhood aspiration, and he tried to realize it by reskinning the SS arc while changing its name 2 more times.
I started re-reading Bleach last year and only finished it a few weeks ago and the whole series is a really damn good without rose-tinted glasses.
And sadly that was the only good arc

I've mostly read the manga but for me Noragami is a high above mid. I just love the relationship that the characters have with each other as well as the mood and atmosphere. 22:42

@@thomasvlekke5365 real
Overall, very respectable list. Though some are different for me and that's okay BECAUSE anime hits different to each other. We don't always feel the same with others when we watch them.
What's with this reasonable and measured response? Where are the death threats???
Yeah sure
nah bro you're both wrong
Agreed (ill take a diff genre as example) for mecha some people have a differen "best" like me personally its GL but thats because its got more significance to me and hits harder than the others, while someone else might say EVA or Gundam. Everyones list is gonna differ its all about enjoying them and spreading that enjoyment with others who take part in it
If you guys haven't watched Hajime no Ippo yet I highly recommend giving it a shot, even if you're not into sports/sports anime, cuz a lot of it is about the characters and their story which set the stakes for every fight. Imagine the hype of the entire MHA tournament but instead you get this hype condensed into EVERY big boxing match in this show. And like Garnt said, it'll one-up itself with every fight. You'll get used to the old anime style in no time as you get invested in the characters and story progression. Trust me on this one. I disliked the look of older anime shows but now it's one of my favourite anime of all time. It's done by MadHouse so yes the animation in every fight is top tier, combined with the perfect sound effects. It's also surprisingly funny at times. It's also somehow one of my favourite comedy anime lol
When I first started reading I was thinking it would take forever and be hella tedious to get through. Then I catch up and wonder how I got through 989 chapters in 3 weeks of semi-casual reading.
Ippo gets a special spot in my heart because the story and the characters could absolutely be real people in a real story. Sure it gets a little exaggerated at bits but it really tells the plight and hardship that fighters go through without letting it get too dreary in the details.
I will agree that Hajimme no Ippo is great but my god currently in the manga I want Morikawa to make a fucking decision with Ippo. He heavily alludes that Ippo will make the decision to do something but he keeps not doing it and it feels like it is going to be another 100 chapters before Ippo makes that decision. Just make a decision Morikawa already. Not to say there haven't been some good parts in what is going on I just want to see Ippo do it.
@@pathora4484 it's really obvious that Ippo is going back to the ring, but he needs a reason, remember that he never wanted to be a champion, he was mostly going along with the desires of everyone around him. Ippo always wanted to not be weak, to help his Mother and to fight Miyata, first was accomplished when he won the rookie tournament, Third was cancelled because of Bad timing and Miyata's issues and the second is something he doesn't need boxing for.
He needs one thing to push him back in the ring, that is probably going to be finding out that the coach is dying but odds are that it happens after the fights of Ippo's rivals.
The Hajime no Ippo Manga has been ongoing since 1989, and it just hit 1376 chapters. Ryuusei no Ai ga Kimi Ni~

Hunter x Hunter is great, but it's too sad that new episodes don't come out anymore. The show feels like it should have like 500 more episodes to be properly finished, considering the amount of unfinished and barely scratched story arcs. I hope that someday we'll get more of HxH episodes.
EDIT: Lol, I finished HxH like a month ago and it's already leaving its 7 years long hiatus. How lucky am I?
What? how 500? I thought the manga only had like 50-60 chapters after the anime ended. That's like 25 episodes. Not saying I wouldn't absolutely love 500 more episodes, but only if the quality is the same, I don't want hunter hunter to be something like Naruto
@@takeuchi5760 he means the anime should be around 500 episodes just because of the potential it has, the dark continent hasn't been explored yet, we haven't seen kurapika taking revenge on the whole phantom troupe, the other continents and hunters aswell.

I love HxH and find its cast of characters to be incredible but man does the overarching plot feel somewhat incoherent.

Yeah, his enthusiasm was amazing and I still loved every moment when we got to see him serious in part 3 like using hamon to stall dio.

Maaan, talking about One Piece fans praising it too much gives so much nostalgia.
I myself got into One Piece (my favorite manga, period) by disputing with my friend 15 years ago about what is better Bleach or One Piece (I haven't watched One Piece and shitted on it and my friend shitted on Bleach and also haven't watched it), so we agreed that I will watch 20 episodes of One Piece and he will watch 20 episodes of Bleach.
Result - my friend dropped Bleach after Soul Society arc (when the "vampire" shit came in) and I watch and read One piece till this day (and initially watched One Piece from the beginning to Thriller Bark arc (which was up to date at that time) non stop in about 1-1.5 week.

I've watched bleach up until that vampire arc (that shit was hard for me to keep watching but I'm trying). The soul society arc was good though. I've also shitted on one piece back then cause I didn't have the time to watch it till last year and it seemed "overpraised" for me. I gave it a 100 episodes and damn before I know it I was on Enies Lobby arc. Then I stoped at 400 cause I have schoolworks to do and because watching anime is really time consuming so I had to stop there. But when I saw the news that Toei was getting hacked or smth and they can't release a one piece episode, I started binging that shit again and now I'm on Dressrosa arc.

As a Dragonball fan, I completely agree. I think it was best when the martial arts were the focus and getting Dragonballs were a supreme task. Stakes were the highest, and all of its fights felt more impactful in a way.
I agree, but with the caveat that they were able to carry that quality halfway into DBZ through excellent characterization
Dragon ball even with its flaws deserves above mid rank. Aint no way giguk just took DBS and said "yep, this is why the ENIRETY of db is mid". LIKE BRO DID YOU FORGET THE ENTIRE NAMEK, ANDROID AND CELL SAGA???

Eyeshield 21 is so underrated. It's probably my second favorite sports anime behind Ippo (I haven't watched Haikyu, but its on my list eventually). ES21 manga is just sensational, the art and character writing...it can inspire the hearts of young men. When he took off the mask, that was hype. When he earned the title he was falsely given, that was hype. When he went stiff-armed Agon into the ground, so many good moments. The only thing I really had frustrations with was the last arc, the JPN dream team, I just felt there needed to be more character interactions instead of focusing on the Pentagon or whatever they were called. The only dude that really mattered was Panther lol.
It is ALSO one of the few manga I could read beginning to end without feeling bored. For example, Ippo has dull stretches. One Piece, as much as I love it, has dull stretches. Maybe its an unfair comparison since both said manga have 1000+ chapters, but the point still stands. The pacing for ES21 was really good, the training arc wasn't boring and it made you appreciate each member of the cast. You spent just enough time with each character to appreciate them. Also, Sena is a likeable main character, something many shonen have trouble with in western audiences I feel (just my opinion). I really appreciated Sena. He wasn't no pretty boy, but did he have a soul of a competitor.
The anime for ES21 was awful though. It just...it did not do the original artist any justice. Also, it made the game look silly - how sequences would happen on the field and would appear nonsensical. At least in the manga you could kind of envision in your mind the correct sequence if you know the game well enough.
Finally someone mention eyeshield 21!!! Man, i love it so much! Also ur right about dull moment, i really had a hard time to finish any mangas/anime/novel with alot chapters, no matter how much i love it. Even when im yelling that this is the best anime or manga ever, i still havent finish it.... if i hve top 6, i probably didnt finish the half. Its really bad. But e21? i even read it 3 time. Its so packed, no waste chap, every chap is so thoughtful and alot going on in 1 chap, the detail, the goal is always clear ,the art is epic, and the characters are all enjoable. I've used e21 for study material, and man, i just realized.. e21 is very difficult. Much more difficult than i thought. More difficult than any other mangas. My brain get heat from thinking(i dont know how to explain it, so just leave it like that)
I love e21 characters. So many cool characters. Like Hiruma.. man, i never see any characters like hiruma. The coolest and uniqe. Dispite how difficult his character is, he never break a character. And also e21 hv the rarest useful relevant characters, mamori.
I tried to watch this show as a huge NFL fan. In the first episode, they called a fumble and interception and got so many rules, positions, concepts wrong about the game. I dropped it so fast. Maybe if I knew nothing about football I'd enjoy it, but it's really REALLY hard to get into if you are a sports fan.
Loving the love for Ippo. When I worked in Japan, everyone in my office knew it, and we talked breathlessly about it. 😁
Hunter x Hunter will forever be one of my favorites. The way the characters are written are just incredible; seeing as the Phantom Troupe were written to be seen in a human like way. I don’t think I’ve ever liked villains as much as I liked the Phantom Troupe. The ant chimera arc has slow pacing, yes, but imo it didn’t disappoint. The anime isn’t afraid to kill off certain characters too. And I just really like the writing of Kurapika specifically. Gon’s descent into despair during the chimera arc was really well thought out, as well as Killua’s character development. I’ve seen other animes that are a close second to HXH, but there’s just something magical about Togashi’s writing.
Edit: Just because you don’t agree with me, doesn’t mean you should send hate comments. I understand not liking hxh, but respect my opinion as I respect yours. It isn’t hard.
Got into HxH a few months ago, just finished the Chimera arc and it’s such an amazing show. I really love what’s done with the Shounen genre, expanding it while also flipping the tropes in such a genius way.
Growing up with Naruto watching this show made me appreciate both series even more. You can clearly see what inspired Naruto and how Kishimoto took inspiration and expanded them into a completely different beast. Naruto def deserves some of the valid critiques which hindered it from reaching the greats, but I feel that there are some truly amazing aspects many seem to have forgotten due to the series reputation. I’m glad HxH managed to package everything so neatly that it’s hard to deny the Shounen masterclass it is.
The dynamic between Naruto x Sasuke, in contrast to Killua and Gon is an example of that. You can clearly see the blueprint but how it’s still it’s own thing.
My bad for a long a** ramble, just felt inspired to share my appreciation lol.

I just want to say that Ruroni Kenshin is one of the very few examples of an excellent live action adaptation.
@@verseless1 the adaptation of boku no pico was great
@@verseless1 the first gintama live action movie was pretty awesone, i think
So true...one of my favourite parts in Ruroni Kenshin was the past with his first wife and man I loved both anime ovas and live action movie too
Seven Deadly sins and Promises Neverland fans think they have it bad but at least people are allowed to talk about the series. Being a Rouin Kenshin fan is true suffering as not only did it have a excellent anime but probably a live action series some could say was better the the O.G series.
My only complaint with this list are some shows were judged by their peak while others were not. For example YYH got a high rating even tho we can admit the early parts and finals arcs are mid af. But naruto was placed much lower for the same issues while having a shit load of high points. Imo both should have been placed near each other tbh. Naruto just for its length and dominate run time of a decade of great moments should get a little pass for the fumble that was the final war arc like YYH did. I hope one day YYH gets a modern remake that shit would bang
Talk, naruto is peak
@@Sageninja Naruto is High mid. too much filler and bad ending, but peak moments
If you’ve read or watched jujutsu kaisen
, chainsaw man or other modern takes on the shounen genre and compare it to the dragon ball franchise you realize the standards for shounen anime has risen significantly. The story telling, character design, world building, interesting power systems, believable and consistent power scaling, there’s just too many things that the new gen authors have refined.
agreed and pople saying old gen are better I feel like are just talking about big 3 or hunter maybe forgetting all the other old animes with pretty basic plotlines and general story execution
I also agree with this argument. Its like the old shounen anime are the ones that placed the standard of shounen genre. This new gen authors are trying to be creative with their storytelling in a desire to outdo the standards of this old shounen anime. But it doesnt mean that the old animes are not good, in fact they are very entertaining that we, as a viewer or reader, can differentiate what shounen anime is good or bad nowadays because they already placed that standard in the first place
cant agree with story telling and world building tho.............................i have watched maybe more than 2 to 300 animes and still yet to find anime like one piece where each and every character be it main or side has been used properly and about worldbuilding One piece comes second to none
@@thokchomb3 no, I agree that one piece has one of the best and expansive world building, but one piece is NOT your average shounen anime. There are so many other older anime from the 90s and early 2000s that are subpar today's standards
@@choidaniel2040 in my take for the newer animes the animation, characters, fights all that is cool but when it comes to story the settings almost feels similar to me.........nowadays i watch mostly feel good anime like isekai shokudai , slime or spy family
From someone who really likes Fire Force, I can say that some parts of the first season did sting quite a bit, and that the second season did not only a lot of world building but also character building. It still has some of the issues of before, but I'd say it definitely became less reliant on the fanservice of Tamaki (I also think they downplayed it quite a bit, but don't quote me on that). Also, the way some characters progressed in the story is actually just incredible, especially with the amazing animation AND sound design.
I'd say give it a try, and you'd probably feel more inclined to atleast rank it average or higher.
The first season was really nice I enjoyed the fight scenes and all felt nicely paced, and the story seemed somewhat interesting, Mc still believing that his brother is alive and that he didn’t die ( I really liked the aspect that there was a mysterious entity that killed his mom and such and I forgot if they talked about who it was but it was cool) after season one it fell off for me, the fan service was annoying in s1 but it got even more annoying in s2. The fight scenes were so badly paced. You would see shin fighting a guy for a good 5 minutes then see the other tm8s fighting their dude for a couple minutes then end of episode. The whole new girl pillar arc was just awful because of that. Made watching every episode painful just wanting to see the good fights. Also the whole story of it just got so confusing. From a simple I want to go save my brother to some lady inside the city’s furnace and not letting them get pillars??? Idek season 2 killed it.
David Productions FTW
There is actually a reason for Tamaki's fanservice which gets explained in the manga
@@urmum6991 i don't care what the reason is, its annoying. Took a cool character and made her the generic fan service girl when she could've been really badass
The Fire Force anime is worth atleast 1 full watch in its entirety just for the production quality alone.
Hajime no Ippo gives you feels after every major match then you get to listen to that ending song. You can feel the training/hardships that Ippo endured to reach that point. Good manga/anime.
The end credit song legit makes me cry. It reminds me of my failures and pushes me to get better. Perhaps it feels more sentimental as it is played when Volg leaves.
Inuyasha did not age that well but still has that nice touch to it and was a fun rewatch. Rewatched it with my daughter last year and it was a blast.
I love that Garnt put Air Gear in Above Mid and barely explained it.
He says “roller skating with rockets” nah it’s not just that, it’s like if roller skates had Stands. There’s some truly insane abilities in that series by the end and it really sucks how the series was barely getting started in the one season we got. Just imagine all the music we could have had produced or supervised by Hideki Naganuma by now if the series got to continue!
Understand understand the concept the concept of Love!
Oh damn, that’s a great way to put it. Rollerskates had stands. Honestly, my first impression of it is just doing tricks and racing. Never expected it to be a fucking gang war.
Not to mention the art… Oh Great is a fucking God
Air Gear fans rise up! There are dozens of us... DOZENS!
Air gear is so incredible good and highly underrated
Air gear is as crazy having a rollercoaster on your foot. Love the concept would have been a great game tbh.
I’m surprised Garnt didn’t watch Magi when season 1 & 2 were going on, it was pretty massive then. I really loved the second season in particular, one of my favorite battle shounens arcs to be honest. The manga was great until the final arc where it had some interesting ideas, but floundered on the execution and was clearly rushed after a pivotal point in the story.
I really think if the author gave it some thought and planned it a bit better, she really could've produced one of the best Shounen ever.
It's so interesting, mature and unlike pretty much any other Shounen, but the execution of it was just terrible.
Magi is insanely underrated. For me its one of the greatest of all Time. The amount of research the author must have collected from History, Politics and philosophy for this work is beyond of what most of the shows have to offer. I think thats also a reason why it doesnt stick for many people because it gets quite complicated.
@@KaleEb449 I disagree the only issue I had with Magi was the ending.
And apparently that was just bad due to the fact the ending was forced with the manga being cancelled.
Personally I think its really disappointing that not very many people got into Magi
@@KaleEb449 what do you mean by execution, could you elaborate more so I'll see your point of view? I think the execution was good.
I just watched Sinbad first 6 months ago. Should I continue to watch it or watch Magi first
(Jujutsu Kaisen) when Mahito kills Junpai I was convinced he was gonna make it to the school (because he was at the school in the OP). mahito and sukuna laughed over his death, the scene set up and subverted my expectation so that it felt like I was the one being laughed at for thinking he was gonna make it. it gave me a connection to Itadori and made the following fight personal. I've never had any other anime any do that, so at that moment Jujutsu Kaisen became my favorite anime.
yeah, i saw him in the opening too and thought for sure that he would make it and join itadori since this is a shonen...
Oh I was still thinking this. Only now realized that maybe Junpei is actually dead
yup i 100% did not expect junpei to die. in terms of devastation i was right there with itadori
Tbh it felt more of a scam to me since he has a better backstory than most characters in the show. Killing off well written characters while leaving tropey generic characters leaves a bad taste in my mouth
Honestly that freaking hurt the shit out of me, but it only made JJK even more enjoyable for me. It pretty much stood itself as a different series compared to others airing at that time bc of that
But damn it to hell as a manga reader, to think that Junpei's death is only scratching the surface of Gege's plan to mentally fuck with Yuji is just so depressing

The beauty of the shonen anime is that everyone has a different "peak" anime that resonates with them for one reason or another. I do not care about my favourite being called mid, it's peak for me.

I can name like 10 one piece moments where my mouth was agape. I can’t say that for any other anime.

10. Luffy stops doffy from killing law
9. Luffy defeats katakuri
8. Luffy loses his entire crew on sabaody
7. ACE DEATH???
6. Straw hats hold up their x’s for vivi
5. Nothing Happened
4. Burning the Merry
3. Eneru shocked face (hilarious but also epic)
2. Luffy punching down doflamingo
1. Sogeking shooting through the government flag
Edit: I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT THE SCENE WITH THE BARREL WHERE THEY ALL SAY THEIR DREAMS, how did i forget
It seems that the high number of episodes also has an effect on this. By the way, I think most of the events you mentioned are classic shounen features :)
All gay moments
Judging all of dragon ball as one entity is definitely unfair, regardless of the final tier given. Dragon ball is something vastly different than Z, DBS is something vastly different from the old DB/DBZ as well (most would agree it's much shitter). Especially when Jojo is divided into like 6 parts
OK dude
Spittin facts
Exactly, if you're rating all of DB as a series it's atleast above mid imo, and without DBS i would put it at high mid.
@@bigenson18 keywords: you would
A problem I think with the dragon ball anime is that it's really the most fun to watch when it's just dumb fun fighting but it would've been way too expensive to do that and make it look good which explains the insane amounts of filler but it does deliver when it comes to the actual fight
One Piece is one of the few stories where it truly is better near the end than the beggining. Most shows are great at the beginning and slowly decline. Or they start decently, reach their peak, and then decline. One Piece was good when it started, great after 400 chapters, amazing after 600 chapters, and fucking insane at 1000+ chapters!
Better near the end of the 1000 episodes 💀💀
Are you fucking high ? Introduce me to your dealer.
Fucking insane after 1000+? Nah, more like fucking trash after 1000+ chapter, cuz Luffy was the god all the time and it didn't matter how many struggled or trained. His damn fruit name changed and he was the choosen one and destined to be the pirate king from the moment he ate that fruit. Oda ruined all comic with this stupid move. One Piece was a unique case because of Luffy was not a god, was not a choosen one or didn't have extremely powerful ability and was struggling sometimes because of this. But now? No, it's just a cliched shounen comic.
@KingKami No, I was reading the story, that is the sad part. I wasted all that time for this cliched shounen bullshit. If I knew that his fruit was an extremely op mythical zoan, then I wouldn't read the story from the start. Everything is meaningless now and no, I don't think he can die cuz he already died while he was fighting against Kaido, but his mythical zoan fruit revived him. Do you remember how Cipher Pol agents interfered their fight and Luffy died with Kaido's hit? How could you say Luffy didn't die at that moment? He clearly died and revived thanks to his "god" fruit.
false, one piece peaked at marineford and went downhill from there, one piece is vastly overrated.
As someone who got back into Anime because of My Hero... I completely agree. It doesn't have the same flare it used to, not to say it can't get that flare back though.
Take back what you said about Fire Force 😂 Go watch the 2nd season
it's because they now have to deal with making a movie alongside the anime, so these past seasons has been painful due to pacing and animation issues. From this point onward, there would be no more boring school arcs.
@@Manganization yeah, I've heard from people who've read the manga that it's about to get really good so excited to see what's next.
@@Manganization actually from s6 and onwards there are no school arcs anymore
i thought the season 6 manga material was really good but it’s dwindled back to underwhelming. It did bring readers back for amazing stuff like JJK and Chainsaw man though which is worth something
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE BLACK CLOVER GOOD RANKING
As someone who read the manga for Haikyuu, the ending was absolutely amazing and 100% deserves to be on peak mid tier for sure. One of the greatest shonen series ever made tbh especially in the sports genre.
Nothing infront of Slam Dunk tho
I always say the same thing the manga's ending is soooo good it easily is on par with slam dunk as the best sports manga (haven't seen hajime no ippo tho)
Guess what everyone's taste is subjective, so no it does not deserve peak mid tier in my opinion atleast. Its a good manga/ anime but for sure.
Hajime no Ippo, Slam Dunk and Haikyuu are what peak sports manga looks like. Diamond no ace come really close though with my boy Sawamura's developpement.

Say what you want about One Piece, but one *UNDENIABLE FACT* is that the world building is the absolute best across all anime and manga. The way Oda introduces new settings, with new characters, adding in new plots, whilst intertwining all of it back into the main story, is just pure genius.

Air gear and D-gray man are definitely highly under rated, and they're solid shounen that gets better and better as the chapters goes, a clear up slope type
D-gray man is goated for me.
Air gear was great but it became unreadable closer to the end
Man the art for D-Gray Man gets so good later on and the story is good from beginning to present (my opinion)
D. Gray-man one of my fave shounens out there
quick question, is d-gray man still running? i heard the author had some serious wrist problems and went on a hiatus, and then it restarted, but i never heard about it ending or not.
"It still fells like One Piece hasn't peaked." Gig's said this before over the years and I've always agreed with him. But uhh.... Anyone up to date with the recent chapters? Definitely feels like it's starting to peak now. Crazy to say that after 25 years.
Oda has his shortcomings for sure (e.g. fake deaths), but you gotta admit that no author has been as consistent as him at being a great mangaka.
Like it isn't just being consistently good”, but consistently “great”. Even his bad arcs are actually good by many people's standards.
And like Garnt said, it always seem like One Piece still hasn't reached its true peak despite many MANY amazing moments.
Wano for me is the new peak. Latest chapters are really worthy of being called peak Shounen even if the manga as a whole isn't
Wano is up there with Marineford, idk if its as good as enies lobby but its def close. What gets me going is the final war is going to be even better
I wouldnt say so. I know their are some people that are upset with the events that transpired in the most recent chapters. I disagree to an extent, I'm more upset about plot armor than anything.
I still think the greatest arc is still to come based on the foreshadowing we have seen throughout the series.
I mean for 1044 people were so insanely hyped that in the OP Reddit they made like 3 different spoiler posts instead of the regular one.
Yea Im with you, this is definitely A peak of one piece but when I think of whats still to come, idk if its the highest of peaks we will get to see, and thats why OP amazing.

@@yaboiplank6764 I can.
It does bad at powerscaling. They say the power of a Jujutsu hasn’t much to do about 1 or 2 years of training to justify the 1st year fighting against the 3rd year, but this doesn’t justify everything.
First, that destroys the relevance of classing curses. By the end of S1, the protagonists can solo S class curses. Wtf, How can I get excited for a fight now if it’s not a S class curse or a hord of A classes. And who are the jujutsu who struggle with B/C classes ? Cause everyone we saw fighting looks fucking strong.
The movie prequel said that there were only 16 S class curses, ok. But then the serie throws them at the protagonists like fodder mid bosses ?? I don’t understand why this ranking exists.
Second, this is my opinion but seeing the protagonists being omega strong after 24ep ruins any shonen vibe it could send me. I can’t root for the protagonists they are among the strongest.
Yuji litteraly did a world record perf with his 4 consecutive black flash… Nanami said it did 4 by chance, it was a world record and Yuji got to that level in 3 months. « Yes but they say when you do one it’s easier to do more », yes but Nanami said he did 4 by luck and it is a god damn world record. How can I root for someone who starts his journey as among the bests in the world ??
It also did bad the tournament arc. I don’t remember any justification for the vilains to attack at the time the school was the most protected. And if there was a reason, they could have waited for everyone to be half dead on the floor but noooo it’s better to attack as quick as possible so as many students can defend the school and their lives.
This is trash shonen writing, interrupting a tournament arc for no reason just means you don’t want to say out loud « x is better than y ».
And for my latest rant, it did very bad at integrating Yuji back to the protagonist trio. Yuji only knew his 2 friends for like a week before he was killed. Then the other 2 spent 2-3 months training together, overcoming the death of Yuji, starting your formation with such a trauma probably creates really strong bonds between people. But then Yuji comes back, and there is nothing awkward about it. He reintegrates the group like nothing happened. He doesn’t miss any private joke, he doesn’t feel like they created something without him. It’s bland as fuck.
The only thing we have to adress this are the visuals of the end 2.
Stardust Crusaders being ranked the same level as Phantom Blood is how you know people are too afraid to rank Phantom Blood objectively
45:05 jujutsu kaisen in my opinion was the definition of new shonen, it has good animation, interesting plot and lots of humorous moments in my opinion it's high mid because it just does everything right.
I totally respect your opinion even though it's the opposite of mine. The humour fell flat for me (I laughed once or twice) and the plot (for me) is a fusion of bleach and Naruto but not as good.
@@derbananenkonig4985 yeah it’s def not super original lol. And gojo is just so op it kinda takes away from the story
so basically you re greeing with garnt that it is mid
I ONLY agree with a high-mid in the context of the manga. So far in the anime, it's got a basic plot (interesting for sure but it's basic for shounen) and I'm more interested in strong stories and events than animation (although the animation on it is, in fact, insane).
I'm not spoiling but the manga manages to raise stakes and expand more on the characters and their abilities in a way that really pushes it over imo.
In the end though, it's just an opinion I wanted to share, I'm just happy you enjoyed the show as well lol
@@richardakasunny5977 glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. I like that he's a play on the op old man trope, but he's so op that the author has to set up whole plot points to remove him from the story. Luckily it doesn't happen too often cause it would get old fast.
Hunter X Hunter is my favorite Shounen anime and one of my favorite animes of all time. The characters feel like real, competent people, they have very well-written character arcs. And characters that don't receive as much screentime as others are engaging and have a personality. The villains are amazing, the protagonists are amazing as well and the fight scenes are awe inspiring. The worlbuilding factor is not very fleshed out but it's really interesting and if given a chance it may have one of the best worldbuilding. Every character goes from point A to point B at the end of the series. And, Madhouse did an incredible job with the animation as well.

So AssClass is like the author's only work anybody can appreciate in English nowadays... try out that series and when you realize it's good, ask Viz for more. 😥
Neuro is one of the few detective manga that I loved. It is so amazing.
And Magi?!?!
Frrr dude AC is my second fave shonen behind HxH. Never cried that hard at an anime before.
i feel the same way
@@neku2741 If it matters, the one (1) outstanding thing about Neuro was giving him DIO's voice actor Takehito Koyasu. It's worth watching like the first five minutes to hear him, haha. The rest of the anime... whew. Gotta love the "let's change the ending and add filler" era of anime. 😞
I read Bakuman years ago, and I still remember that line you mentioned. It was so impactful and just shows how good of a line it is that we still remember it years after.
Bakuman is one of my all time favourites, it's one of my few complete manga collections, and the only reason I don't own the anime is because it received such a shitty translation in the UK. Seriously, the UK release was translated from Japanese to French to English, why they couldn't just use the US release that was already there, I don't know...
@@Shinobi_sac I have the complete collection as well. It’s a great series and inspired me a lot
Fk YES, BEST ANIME THAT YEAR HANDS DOWN
the fact that he hasn't seen FMA (brotherhood) and had the audacity to label it as "probably mid" actually hurts my soul
naruto series be like naruto keeps on getting plot armors every nanosecond n is basically plot device god mean while sasuke is still getting his asbeaten like it is his tradition theres nospot light in this show for him now dont make me talk about the other side characters who ar just kishimotos ultimate punching bags for narutos plot
Goddamn, I love Hajime No Ippo. It's hilarious and fantastic and I'm glad I found someone talking about it
I gotta say, I loved Black Clover from the first season.
But after the Elf restoration arc, there were so many fillers until it moved into the Devil arc when they go to the Heart kingdom to train.
Other than the fillers, ESPECIALLY THE LAST 12 EPISODES, it was fucking insane.
What i liked about BC is that everyone there has his issues and personal problems. There is no "perfect" person in this anime, you can see everyones good sides right besides his bad attitudes. That makes characters more human, like a lot of One Piece characters.
I just love how the show was executed. It's so hype, hilarious and badass
@@edwardchau6871 I love the show and its characters but watching it was lack luster in its plot and ability to make me want to keep watching, although I managed to finish it. It redeemed itself during the last few episodes and I can't wait for the movie to be released
@@lazaroalfonso9964 that's fair. I was pulled in from the Royal knights selection arc and actually found the 40 episodes of filler entertaining 🤣
READ THE MANGA, ITS A FKIN HYPE TRAIN
Bro, the amount of courage you need to make one of these videos are insane
The only thing that matters is One Piece in S-tier.... or peak-mid tier. A win is a win
literally this
Nah One-piece should be C tier max just because of the god awful length and art style. There is a thing as too long.
@@Deminese2 not when you have content to fill up the lenght. ur a child for saying that a show should be c-tier bc of its art style. art is subjective so ur opinion doesnt veen matter
yea keep on defending this garbaggye nothing gonna change or u just watch one anime
The most disturbing part of this video is the fact that “peak-mid” had a hyphen, but none of the other levels did.
I never thought slam dunk would be peak in his eyes, but I’m happy that people out there appreciate a piece of literature as amazing as Slam Dunk. It’s really a shame with Rurouni Kenshin, but I totally feel so connected to those shows and will always be thankful for making me stick with anime to this day.
Slam Dunk is terrifyingly awesome. Hope it gets a remake and properly this time.
@@Mordeiv It's getting a movie directed by Inoue himself. I think it'll be about the first game in the tournament finals
I agree One Piece is the best "OVERALL" shounen. there are other animes who excel in certain things but one piece is a good mix of everything.
Whatever it is...It's far from the best
@@avid4288 It is the best
@@avid4288 how?what is better
@@johandgilgamesh5884 one piece is just a long repetitive dragon ball z copy , is just a waiste of time , instead of watching one piece u watch dragon ball z wich is way better and the creator of one piece cant stop copying it
@@poomipatlurkudom3883 no

Like a true opinionist
when you quote a joke lol
As much as i love one piece it is by far my favorite anime my biggest issue is that some fights drag on for too long. Luffy v Doffy is one example i felt like the longer it dragged on the less impact each blow had and after like 10+ episodes of them punching each other for 5 minutes gets kinda boring it doesn't feel like they are really doing anything anymore
Its no secret that OP doesn't shine in that category which is a shame tbh. All of the arcs conclusion is made through boss fights.
I couldn't bother to watch all 1000 plus episodes so I read the manga and it's a lot better. I only watched like 40 episodes of one piece anime , but I'm guessing it's better
@@hibakhan692 yeah I love one piece but I do understand the flaws and I've thought about just reading the manga but I haven't and don't regret it. And since you already read it you can just jump to the episodes with the really cool fights with no problem such as Zoro v King
One Piece is amazing but it’s anime is terrible. The manga is so excellent which is why it’s a shame the anime pads out the runtime so much, especially post time skip (although wano has been decent with cool animation lately).
The anime is great for several hundred episodes though, so I tell my friends who wanna start OP to start with the anime until the pacing gets too slow for them and then switch to the manga
@@100frogbucket honestly that's kinda smart. I haven't read the manga myself but that's what I keep hearing that the animes pacing is so slow. I'm going to recommend that next time someone asks me about one piece
Season 6 of MHA is definitely going to go CRAZY. As a manga reader, I've enjoyed it immensely. I'm glad your opinion on Black Clover has changed since your original videos.
MVA Arc was already pretty crazy in terms of raw violence and bloodshed.
@@diamondhamster4320 lol just you wait
what’d you think of the more recent manga arc?(post raid) I’ve felt kinda let down. Like the scale and tone feels like it took a backstep. Still kinda fun but I was expecting a lot more
@@ethanwatson6131 Imo, they gotta set it up. You have to remember that there are a certain characters that have to be fleshed out first (example in the most recent chapter). So I expected it to be slower at first but I think it'll pick up soon. Kinda like the MVA Arc set up the Raid arc.
MHA is bottom mid
HunterxHunter and Fullmetal Alchemist are the two animes I come back again and again. Many from the animes he listed I enjoyed and often hyperfixated on them for a year or so. But none of them makes me come back like HxH and FMA. There´s just something so deep and meaningful behind these utterly human troubles they are facing (despite often being thrown in very unhuman situations).
Also honorary mention for Gintama because it´s just ... different. And makes you think a lot, when you reach the serious parts.
HxH writing is out of this world, peak shonen indeed.
HxH and FMAB are top 5 anime imo. Both are very philosophical in their own way, but I'd give the slight edge to Brotherhood because I remember less flaws with it
You hit the nail on the head. Other anime like Demon Slayer, JJK, MHA, etc. are fun to watch, but they don't have the consistency and depth that HxH & FMA:B do. Characters with deep wounds, choices with real consequences, plot with interwoven threads, & themes with universal meaning. That's what makes a story rewatchable & great.
Fma is overrated af
@@cryptomillionaire3272 Stop the cap sir. Name a show that's written better. I'll give you HxH and Berserk
Imagine not watching GIntama.
I can, I have not watched it
Early Naruto was outrageously good. The first Team 7 mission against Zabuza opened this series sooo well. And of the tournament arcs, I think this one was really good.
The late Naruto. Let's me just say I still haven't bothered to finish the manga.
I agree where you put the anime but it hurts to agree to this knowing how much I loved the early part of the series.
I couldn't get past the hokage fighting snake man on the roof while naruto chases Sasuke chases gaara for like 10 straight episodes. It was pretty good until then tho
Imagine sitting through 80 episodes of filler trying to figure out why nothing is happening only to realize it was all filler and a complete waste of my life
@@nolanfisher6712you're tripping
@@TheNavigator4552Didn't look up the filler list after the first few filler like episodes
