people 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 6 9 paths of baryon susono he still would get beaten down becoz of narutos plot and treated every side character like garrbbage especially rock lee
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 One Piece follows the same pattern in every arc and nobody says that it is "outdated" or that it is bad and "repetitive".
@@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.
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.
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?"
@@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.
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’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.🤣
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
@@Jamoose2k1 the stream was live, bruh. If he did then we would have saw. And ofc he looks up the names before making a video on the main channel but when he’s recording an episode of trash taste or going live, he doesn’t have that kind of luxury
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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'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
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.

@@zewdrel8458 I understand your point, but i simply don't enjoy it :-/ How to say this, imagine you have a mountain in front of you. Of course, if you've climbed every single side of it as new paths for it were found, you'd enjoy the hell out of it, but when you're starting, and you fail over and over in the first ten meters, even when someone tells you "we're not forcing you to climb it" but at the same time they kepp telling you how good it feels, you start to get frustrated, and just go climb elsewhere.
@Salmon roe that's a discipline problem not the author. Do what you want. You have to ease into one piece, seeing it as a mountain won't help. Anyway comment on your third reread 🤣🤣🤣
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.

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.

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.

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.

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 :)
People should at least give the prequel "Magi: Adventure of Sinbad" a try, it has all the best elements of the show and manga in only 13 episodes! Magi is peak anime and manga!
@@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. Personally, I feel like Magi peaked during the Kou Empire Arc, but the end was a bit lackluster. I guess I just missed the agency of some characters like Morgianna, but what is your opinion on this?
@@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
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.
One piss is overrated and it's 1 bad arc away from being just like naruto. Before the war arc naruto was peek fiction but u clowns dragged it down to praise one piss
I used to be like that Taylond Grant guy above me from 2015-2019 trashing OP fans and mocking them for watching 700+ of midness 2 years later and here I am reading it's manga. this shi is actually gold. for those mfs who's saying "ooga ooga 1000 episodes WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA they should end it REEEEEEEEEEEE" 1000 episodes aint even enough. OP's universe is just THAT big. It isn't even overrated. MHA IS overrated. Not both. Just one. and OP isn't the one. You're malding and disagreeing despite not watching it? You're smoking your mom's ashes at this point because this is an opinion coming from an edgy 2015 One Piece hater who hated the anime more than the times your parents ever loved you.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
While I can’t really call it “objectively good” Yu-gi-oh’s actually a really fun series with endearing characters, and GX in particular is amazing. Season 3 of GX is like the high point of the franchise, I really recommend it. GX also has the funniest 4kids dub of all time, it’s great.
@@stonksagent9040 ....Stonks Agent says while pushing up their glasses. The lens of the glasses glint in the light, obscuring their eyes. Who is this mysterious genius with the insightful takes? The onlooking NPCs can only speculate in wonder.
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
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.
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
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 was having goosebumps when grant was tlaking about the demon slayer spider fight then he mentions that he also got goosebumps, such an amazing scene that got me super hyped up about half a decade ago
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.
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 would rank ippo higher than slam dunk. Both are really funny and they have great character moments. Both sakuragi and ippo are underdogs but they’re both very different. Sakuragi is an underdog in terms of his skills but on the inside he has not doubt in himself and doesn’t underestimate himself. Ippo on the other hand, is a true underdog at heart. What holds him back isn’t his skills, he has possibly the most potential in the series because of his absolutely overwhelming strength. What holds ippo back is that he’s meek and all of his weakness is in his head. I find ippo to be a source of inspiration for me. Also, Haikyuu is better than eyeshield 21 for me. Both are great. I understand your rating for dragon ball. I hate super. However, the original dragon ball and dbz manga is amazing and well paced (unlike the anime). Also I think dragon ball part one (before z) is an original concept in shonen. It’s basically a typical martial arts story with superpowers that are based on martial arts. I also love the adventure element of dragon ball, an element that I think z got rid of after namek. I love how the parts of the story about adventure and the parts about martial arts are balanced and separated from each other, like the world tournaments being in between the big arcs. I think saiyan saga (maybe namek) is the best part of the whole dragon ball series but the world tournament at the end of dragon ball where goku fights piccolo is at the same level of quality as early dbz. I don’t know if I’d rank yu yu hakusho an entire rank higher than hunter x hunter. I much prefer yyh to hxh. They’re very different because yu yu hakusho is a delinquent manga combined with a lore loosely based on yokai mythology. Hunter x hunter is a very cleverly written dragon quest style anime with some modern influences, like big cities, video games, and sci-fi style monsters like the chimera ants. The idea behind yu yu hakusho is more interesting to me. I like that yusuke is a delinquent and he deals with some very relatable issues he has to overcome. Killua is also relatable but I relate to the yu yu hakusho characters more. Chimera ant and yorknew are amazing arcs. I think they stack up to dark tournament and chapter black. Besides the ending, chapter black is my favorite togashi arc all the way through. The only thing I like about hunter x hunter that I may consider it above yu yu hakusho is the phantom troupe. I think they’re the best villain group/evil organization I’ve seen in shonen.
Regarding the best villian group...... I have both been watching anime and read fantasy novels for almost two decades now and I like the spiders the most. The only thing not close but badass in an individual way would be the villians from the Wheel of Time.
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.
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
I was honestly agreeing with every single ranking until you became probably the only anime youtuber to put Rurouni Kenshin in high Mid tier.. thats when it really hit me in the feels. Thank you Garnt, for being one of the very few people who really appreciate the beauty and depth of the themes in this Manga, it really made me shed tears as a young man. I'm proud to say that ive been watching you about as long as both you and I have been watching anime (some 15 years now..) and you have 200% still got it! Even after all this time, I still like all your opinion and analysis videos and wait for your recommendations every season. Thanks for sticking it out for this monumentally long amount of time and always delivering on the same good old quality! Cheers to you mate! and really hope you keep going and growing with your channel, which has aged like a fine wine!
in naruto series scaling pain fight was trrash becoz wen yahiko destroyed the village he showed that strong villain energy but fighting naruto he was like let me remain like a scare crow just like all naruto villains y didnt yahito used almighty push on naruto in the first place n than later died from a predictable small rasengan which was miles away 💀. lee vs gaara was a bs fight it was just about running fast aside of that lee lost the fight becoz of sand💀 even after being wayyyyyy faster than gaara than there naruto comes who is equal to kiba in strength and defeats a wayy stronger version of gaara without training his whole life this arc was definition of garrbage. Y didnt obito used his kamui against kakashi wasnt he fighting all the shinobi hours ago🤦♂️.naruto vs sasuke is the most shiitiest fight ever the whole fights didnt made sense base naruto was able to fight sasuke with sharingan n rennigan All the naruto fights ar nonsensical inlogical fights in anime
@@animextime3918 you dont understand naruto do you 1st obito couldnt use kamui on kakashi since obito can only teleport himself in kamui and kakashi has the other kamui shit 2nd naruto shipuden is shit 3rd naruto actually trained before chunin exams and the plot hole device kurama exists
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.
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...
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
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.
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
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.
Yu yu hakusho and rurouni Kenshin are true goats of shonen it’s great to see them both share a Spot as each other. Lol I’m planning on reading the manga for both series and In my opinion are better than what’s popular lol.
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?
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
For me the best and most memorable part of Yu-Gi-Oh! is the first seven volumes of the manga. In the english version of the manga the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga is separated into three parts, with the second part Yu-Gi-Oh Duelist and third part Yu-Gi-Oh! Millennium World being the parts that are shown in the Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Monsters anime that was in the 4Kids dub. I highly recommend anyone that hasn't read the first part of the Yu-Gi-Oh manga to read it. It's a lot darker and barely focuses on the Duel Monsters card game at all. There was an anime adaptation that came before the Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Monsters anime that fans like to call Yu-Gi-Oh season 0, which never made it to the west, but the manga is honestly so much better.
i am a yugioh player, so rewatching yugioh is actually so painful cuz they are not playing by the rules and the "genius" strategies are painfully obvious. so if the manga barely focuses on the game, it is a god send.
I came to the comment section immediately after the Yu-Gi-Oh placement. Yeah the anime is ass, but the manga. The manga! After watching the 4Kids dub and reading the manga after my mind was blown! The manga is straight up just great. Anime could have never existed as far as I'm concerned.
@@eleonarcrimson858 The first 7 volumes that Viz has just named Yu-Gi-Oh barely focuses on the card game, but the parts afterwards do. The second part named Duelist is the Duelist Kingdom, Battle City arcs and part 3 Millennium World is the part where they go back to Ancient Egypt.
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
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.
Exactly the same with Deadly Seven Sins for me. I struggled through season 1 and I tried so hard to watch the next season, but I couldn't force myself to get into it no matter what I did.
"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.
Btw I have always thought you've made the most unique and also just funny af videos, a perfect blend of seriousness, genuineness, and still humorous throughout every video, perfectly balanced, as all things should be... Even when I was younger, say 14, and watched your videos I always thought you were a comedic genius, your videos hardly ever fail to make me laugh out loud, seriously, I feel you're a genius even if you wanna be humble, which I get
I don't think it counts that Bleach "Fell off" when they just stopped making it. You aren't judging other anime that stopped production by saying they fell off. Even though most said anime never earned bleach's legacy in the first place. Bleach is great, it was excellent for it's time and if they didn't stop production until now the shows legacy probably would have suffered, but here we are Bleach is standing tall yet again amongst current anime giants, even though it suffers due to the fact that most current anime viewers haven't seen original bleach and need to make a big commitment to catch up.
I do love that, despite its age and being overshadowed by its younger brother HXH, YuYu Hakusho is still heavily respected and held in high regard by anime/manga fans as a flawed masterpiece. Watched it for the first time earlier this year and loved it - I agree with everything you said.
I watched Inuyasha for the first time a few years ago and loved it. But I think the crucial point is that Inuyasha is both a shounen and a shoujo slice-of-life. If you go into it expecting that, the "filler" just becomes fun, feel-good slice-of-life goodness. In that light I think Inuyasha is a great show.
Yeah marathoning Inuyasha feels like a slog, that show was perfect as a "Before school" kind of deal. It is truly a slice of life anime that also happens to have some sick action.
@@lobserionia Naraku is a pay wall made villain. "You see Inuyasha, to progress further you need to break this barrier, but to do so you need to upgrade your sword." *Inuyasha spends 50 chapters getting that upgrade* "Good job Inuyasha, now for the next barrier..."
Inuyasha is one of my lowest rated shows. From about episode 35 to somewhere in the low 100s (I think around 112), basically nothing happens even if you skip all the filler. It repeats the same plot point like 3 times and neither the story or the romance really go anywhere, it just stagnates.
Hearing garnt put air gear above mid made my day. It is very underated and still hope eventually a decent studio will pick it up and continue where the original anime left off.
the music and fight choreography was really cool. After I picked up the manga Air Gear became really serious and totally surprised me with its story development. For me it’s definitely a 8,5/10
Look, the dragon ball thing I can totally agree with when you take modern dragonball into consideration. But, if you look at the impact dragonball has made in the world, it is hands down the greatest anime ever. It is the reason anime is so big in the US, it is the reason Shonen anime exists, it is the inspiration for Naruto and luffy, and goku was even the national mascot for the Tokyo Olympics. Dragonball is THE anime. And if you actually take OG dragonball and GT into account, it is THE anime in Japan. Just ask anyone over there if they can still remember the theme song for GT...
Hajime no ippo is one of the reasons i started boxing, 6 years in and i still rewatch it from time to time. It's one of my all time favorite anime, it's impacted me so much I've been working to make boxing my career, I've recommend it to friends and it's the reason they got into boxing gyms and boxing in general.
@@Clan_Killer Absolutely, I fucking love Megalobox 2, but it is a shame that it went under the radar for a lot of people, specially compared to season 1. Everyone talked about Season 1, but for season 2, which i believe is a step up from it, not a single soul mentioned it. It makes me really sad. I think it is just destined to be a hidden gem. If anyone reads this, i beg of you, watch Megalobox 1 and 2, it's not just a good sports anime, it's a good anime. The struggle to survive in a world where you are nothing and slowly make it to the top on Season 1, to lose it all and see how you can carry on when you are at the absolute bottom on Season 2 is worth watching.

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.
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.

That's true, I would probably give dragon ball z an above mid, but super is true mid

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.

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.

Welcome to the world of One Piece
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.
Get some breaks now and then. Maybe I'm just taking too many breaks from the anime.
Yooo keep going man it's only going to get better. And by a lot.
I'll be waiting for you there, in Wano!
Welcome to the crew dude
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.
Same.

@@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 gave a chance I loved it, and I seen nothing else now I’d rather read fairy tail
Yeah, reading the manga shows that it’s one of the best battle Shonen of all time
Freiza and Cell arc is peak DB when the emotions, the fights, the stakes are at its highest
Dragon Ball Kai has no filler. The problem is the censorship and also Z's soundtrack is better.

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
That's a blessed take on Medaka Box. It's a real shame that we didn't get the rest of the material adapted. Also big respect on the Air Gear placing.
Shame we barely saw anything about the best characters(kuwagawa yes fight me if you disagree)
Kumagawa turned the world colorless that's why there's no anime adaptation, only the manga.
Bruh air gear has not aged that well.
No one ever talks about Medaka Box so I’m v pleased
Low key wanted Air Gear to get fully adapted…
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. 😁
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~
@@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.
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!

@@normlord6357 I’m sorry but pls don’t spoil. What do you mean “keep it real”
@@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.

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.

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 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.

Yup the final arc could have been the best one, I was quite sad with how rushed it was
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 :)
Magi is such an underrated shounen anime. More people need to really give that one a shot.
Edit: Fuck yeah Magi fans rise up lol
And the Manga was so epic as well.
People should at least give the prequel "Magi: Adventure of Sinbad" a try, it has all the best elements of the show and manga in only 13 episodes! Magi is peak anime and manga!
@@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.
Personally, I feel like Magi peaked during the Kou Empire Arc, but the end was a bit lackluster. I guess I just missed the agency of some characters like Morgianna, but what is your opinion on this?
kinda like the author's other work as we called orient and the sinbad no biiken spin off is good too
@@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
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.
One piss is overrated and it's 1 bad arc away from being just like naruto. Before the war arc naruto was peek fiction but u clowns dragged it down to praise one piss

This is an unbelievably good video and ranking dude
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.
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.
@@turu3498 i love both One Piece and HXH and a lot of anime on this list

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.
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.
Joey's been talking about it in his past videos.
yea keep on defending this garbaggy nothing gonna change or u just watch one anime
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.

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

@@GT-xw7rg yeah....
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
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
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.
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.
I definitely agree. You can remake for example fairy tail with ufotable quality. But it couldn't be nothing more than watching a pile of shit on 4k.
and 1045 made me smile trought the whole chapter
Anyone can be a dragon ball or naruto but no one and i mean no one can be a one piece.

@@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.
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)

@@louisfrey1197 There. Is that better?

While I can’t really call it “objectively good” Yu-gi-oh’s actually a really fun series with endearing characters, and GX in particular is amazing. Season 3 of GX is like the high point of the franchise, I really recommend it. GX also has the funniest 4kids dub of all time, it’s great.
The 4kids yugioh dubs are peak in an ironic way. It’s trash in the best way possible
GX might be my favorite anime of all time, and Judai is my favorite anime protagonist. The second latter half of season 3 (sub) was amazing.
In my opinion Hakyuu is so good because it gives you this uncontrollable urge to get better, and workout with the character for some reason.
An urge doesn’t matter at all, the question there is, did you? Did you get better, did you workout? If not, your supporting point is useless.

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

Does not rank Attack on Titan and FMAB.
💀

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.
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
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.
well said, my favorite was in mid tier and idrc. happy HxH gets a lot of love at least
I was having goosebumps when grant was tlaking about the demon slayer spider fight then he mentions that he also got goosebumps, such an amazing scene that got me super hyped up about half a decade ago
Cant wait for Garnt’s newest hit book “I survived SHOUNEN FANS”
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.
Me too. Everything about the show is just so 'my type'. It's really great to rewatch, too.
Yeah the fights were so fluid and clean looking

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
Yeah same
I just rank stuff based on my enjoyment and it was one of the shows which I looked forward to watching
@@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.
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. 😥
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 would rank ippo higher than slam dunk. Both are really funny and they have great character moments. Both sakuragi and ippo are underdogs but they’re both very different. Sakuragi is an underdog in terms of his skills but on the inside he has not doubt in himself and doesn’t underestimate himself. Ippo on the other hand, is a true underdog at heart. What holds him back isn’t his skills, he has possibly the most potential in the series because of his absolutely overwhelming strength. What holds ippo back is that he’s meek and all of his weakness is in his head. I find ippo to be a source of inspiration for me. Also, Haikyuu is better than eyeshield 21 for me. Both are great.
I understand your rating for dragon ball. I hate super. However, the original dragon ball and dbz manga is amazing and well paced (unlike the anime). Also I think dragon ball part one (before z) is an original concept in shonen. It’s basically a typical martial arts story with superpowers that are based on martial arts. I also love the adventure element of dragon ball, an element that I think z got rid of after namek. I love how the parts of the story about adventure and the parts about martial arts are balanced and separated from each other, like the world tournaments being in between the big arcs. I think saiyan saga (maybe namek) is the best part of the whole dragon ball series but the world tournament at the end of dragon ball where goku fights piccolo is at the same level of quality as early dbz.
I don’t know if I’d rank yu yu hakusho an entire rank higher than hunter x hunter. I much prefer yyh to hxh. They’re very different because yu yu hakusho is a delinquent manga combined with a lore loosely based on yokai mythology. Hunter x hunter is a very cleverly written dragon quest style anime with some modern influences, like big cities, video games, and sci-fi style monsters like the chimera ants. The idea behind yu yu hakusho is more interesting to me. I like that yusuke is a delinquent and he deals with some very relatable issues he has to overcome. Killua is also relatable but I relate to the yu yu hakusho characters more. Chimera ant and yorknew are amazing arcs. I think they stack up to dark tournament and chapter black. Besides the ending, chapter black is my favorite togashi arc all the way through. The only thing I like about hunter x hunter that I may consider it above yu yu hakusho is the phantom troupe. I think they’re the best villain group/evil organization I’ve seen in shonen.
Regarding the best villian group......
I have both been watching anime and read fantasy novels for almost two decades now and I like the spiders the most.
The only thing not close but badass in an individual way would be the villians from the Wheel of Time.
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.
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!

I was honestly agreeing with every single ranking until you became probably the only anime youtuber to put Rurouni Kenshin in high Mid tier.. thats when it really hit me in the feels.
Thank you Garnt, for being one of the very few people who really appreciate the beauty and depth of the themes in this Manga, it really made me shed tears as a young man.
I'm proud to say that ive been watching you about as long as both you and I have been watching anime (some 15 years now..) and you have 200% still got it!
Even after all this time, I still like all your opinion and analysis videos and wait for your recommendations every season.
Thanks for sticking it out for this monumentally long amount of time and always delivering on the same good old quality!
Cheers to you mate! and really hope you keep going and growing with your channel, which has aged like a fine wine!
in naruto series scaling pain fight was trrash becoz wen yahiko destroyed the village he showed that strong villain energy but fighting naruto he was like let me remain like a scare crow just like all naruto villains y didnt yahito used almighty push on naruto in the first place n than later died from a predictable small rasengan which was miles away 💀. lee vs gaara was a bs fight it was just about running fast aside of that lee lost the fight becoz of sand💀 even after being wayyyyyy faster than gaara than there naruto comes who is equal to kiba in strength and defeats a wayy stronger version of gaara without training his whole life this arc was definition of garrbage. Y didnt obito used his kamui against kakashi wasnt he fighting all the shinobi hours ago🤦♂️.naruto vs sasuke is the most shiitiest fight ever the whole fights didnt made sense base naruto was able to fight sasuke with sharingan n rennigan
All the naruto fights ar nonsensical inlogical fights in anime
@@animextime3918 Jesse, what the fuck are you talking about?
@@animextime3918 you dont understand naruto do you
1st obito couldnt use kamui on kakashi since obito can only teleport himself in kamui and kakashi has the other kamui shit
2nd naruto shipuden is shit
3rd naruto actually trained before chunin exams and the plot hole device kurama exists
What did the Author of Rurouni Kenshin do?
@@YukiXKohaku He had CP
Goddamn, I love Hajime No Ippo. It's hilarious and fantastic and I'm glad I found someone talking about it
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.
Watch one outs
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
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

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
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
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
Yu yu hakusho and rurouni Kenshin are true goats of shonen it’s great to see them both share a Spot as each other. Lol I’m planning on reading the manga for both series and In my opinion are better than what’s popular lol.
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.
Watch gintama and gto, better than hxh
@@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?

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
Honestly big w I just subbed
For me the best and most memorable part of Yu-Gi-Oh! is the first seven volumes of the manga. In the english version of the manga the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga is separated into three parts, with the second part Yu-Gi-Oh Duelist and third part Yu-Gi-Oh! Millennium World being the parts that are shown in the Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Monsters anime that was in the 4Kids dub. I highly recommend anyone that hasn't read the first part of the Yu-Gi-Oh manga to read it. It's a lot darker and barely focuses on the Duel Monsters card game at all. There was an anime adaptation that came before the Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Monsters anime that fans like to call Yu-Gi-Oh season 0, which never made it to the west, but the manga is honestly so much better.
i am a yugioh player, so rewatching yugioh is actually so painful cuz they are not playing by the rules and the "genius" strategies are painfully obvious. so if the manga barely focuses on the game, it is a god send.
i sometimes still think about the ferris wheel bomb arc in yugioh and think to myself damn this was really put in a kids manga
I came to the comment section immediately after the Yu-Gi-Oh placement. Yeah the anime is ass, but the manga. The manga! After watching the 4Kids dub and reading the manga after my mind was blown! The manga is straight up just great. Anime could have never existed as far as I'm concerned.
@@eleonarcrimson858 The first 7 volumes that Viz has just named Yu-Gi-Oh barely focuses on the card game, but the parts afterwards do. The second part named Duelist is the Duelist Kingdom, Battle City arcs and part 3 Millennium World is the part where they go back to Ancient Egypt.
I read that firs part and was really surprised, how different it was from the series. Definitely recommend it. It was super interesting
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
that being said, 1061 was PEAK!
@@_Overestimated FAX
1063 was peak
1064 is peak !
Peak for me was alabasta and skypia. Wano is eh
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
Exactly the same with Deadly Seven Sins for me. I struggled through season 1 and I tried so hard to watch the next season, but I couldn't force myself to get into it no matter what I did.
i like it so much tho :(
By the end of the 52nd episode I've realized Seven Deadly Sins was the worst thing I've ever forced myself through. I wish I had dropped it earlier.
"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.
@@leesanction2068 Wouldn't be One Piece without half the fanbase being upset over it. I think the trope was very earned.
Btw I have always thought you've made the most unique and also just funny af videos, a perfect blend of seriousness, genuineness, and still humorous throughout every video, perfectly balanced, as all things should be...
Even when I was younger, say 14, and watched your videos I always thought you were a comedic genius, your videos hardly ever fail to make me laugh out loud, seriously, I feel you're a genius even if you wanna be humble, which I get
Bro, the amount of courage you need to make one of these videos are insane
I don't think it counts that Bleach "Fell off" when they just stopped making it. You aren't judging other anime that stopped production by saying they fell off. Even though most said anime never earned bleach's legacy in the first place. Bleach is great, it was excellent for it's time and if they didn't stop production until now the shows legacy probably would have suffered, but here we are Bleach is standing tall yet again amongst current anime giants, even though it suffers due to the fact that most current anime viewers haven't seen original bleach and need to make a big commitment to catch up.
I do love that, despite its age and being overshadowed by its younger brother HXH, YuYu Hakusho is still heavily respected and held in high regard by anime/manga fans as a flawed masterpiece.
Watched it for the first time earlier this year and loved it - I agree with everything you said.
I watched Inuyasha for the first time a few years ago and loved it. But I think the crucial point is that Inuyasha is both a shounen and a shoujo slice-of-life. If you go into it expecting that, the "filler" just becomes fun, feel-good slice-of-life goodness. In that light I think Inuyasha is a great show.
Yeah marathoning Inuyasha feels like a slog, that show was perfect as a "Before school" kind of deal. It is truly a slice of life anime that also happens to have some sick action.
It was one of my first animes and I loved it lol
One of the bad issues with Inuyasha is the amount of tine the main villain flees every time when he had a fight, it is really repetitive and boring.
@@lobserionia Naraku is a pay wall made villain. "You see Inuyasha, to progress further you need to break this barrier, but to do so you need to upgrade your sword."
*Inuyasha spends 50 chapters getting that upgrade*
"Good job Inuyasha, now for the next barrier..."
Inuyasha is one of my lowest rated shows. From about episode 35 to somewhere in the low 100s (I think around 112), basically nothing happens even if you skip all the filler. It repeats the same plot point like 3 times and neither the story or the romance really go anywhere, it just stagnates.
Hearing garnt put air gear above mid made my day. It is very underated and still hope eventually a decent studio will pick it up and continue where the original anime left off.
the music and fight choreography was really cool. After I picked up the manga Air Gear became really serious and totally surprised me with its story development.
For me it’s definitely a 8,5/10
With the current state of the anime industry, it ain't getting a new season
Look, the dragon ball thing I can totally agree with when you take modern dragonball into consideration.
But, if you look at the impact dragonball has made in the world, it is hands down the greatest anime ever. It is the reason anime is so big in the US, it is the reason Shonen anime exists, it is the inspiration for Naruto and luffy, and goku was even the national mascot for the Tokyo Olympics. Dragonball is THE anime.
And if you actually take OG dragonball and GT into account, it is THE anime in Japan. Just ask anyone over there if they can still remember the theme song for GT...
He grew out of his nostalgia like I did
Hajime no ippo is one of the reasons i started boxing, 6 years in and i still rewatch it from time to time. It's one of my all time favorite anime, it's impacted me so much I've been working to make boxing my career, I've recommend it to friends and it's the reason they got into boxing gyms and boxing in general.
...
I had the same thing happen when megalo box came out LUL not as passionate about it as you are but it keeps me in shape. I wish you luck my friend
@@pheonixMHTri aah megalo box s2 was soooo goooood. One of the best things I've seen in recent times
@@Clan_Killer Absolutely, I fucking love Megalobox 2, but it is a shame that it went under the radar for a lot of people, specially compared to season 1. Everyone talked about Season 1, but for season 2, which i believe is a step up from it, not a single soul mentioned it. It makes me really sad. I think it is just destined to be a hidden gem. If anyone reads this, i beg of you, watch Megalobox 1 and 2, it's not just a good sports anime, it's a good anime. The struggle to survive in a world where you are nothing and slowly make it to the top on Season 1, to lose it all and see how you can carry on when you are at the absolute bottom on Season 2 is worth watching.
The magic of shounen.
