What does /a/ think about Shounen anime?

Coming soon:
>But shonen isn't a genre, it's an audience
I'll never understand why /a/ uniformly thinks naruto is shit but other similar bottom tier garbage like HxH and wan piss are widely liked
>>150063435
Becaue Naruto is mainstream is why. What I don't get is why people hate One Piece when it's a shounen done fucking right.
>>150063321
Weekly shounen shows are a dying breed. Naruto and Bleach no more, only two that are being produced are both by Toei. And Boku no Hero Academia will probably be a 1 or two cours per year.
Kinda sad.

Dragon Ball created the genre and revived in 2016. How can a series be so based?
>>150063321
dbz and db are the only good ones

Because a lot of people don't like battle shounen in general? Is that so hard to understand? Just because you say "but this one is good!" doesn't mean everyone else is going to agree with you.
Filler fodder genre full of cliched knock offs, but still better than waifushit, aka 99% of this shit board.

>5 of those are married and have kids
Guilty pleasure

Goku never kissed his wife or anyone else.

There's no arc in Naruto that can be compared to the Chimera Ants in HxH and the Marineford in OP. Like come on, even the final war has been underrated from the start.

Pain arc can be compared.
They're all basically the same show. You could argue it's like superhero movies where it's more a genre than a style, but it's still not much fun to watch over and over.
I like one piece and my hero academia though, not entirely sure why. I guess MHA has some interesting characters and I want to see what the big secret of one piece is.

LOOK
Battleshonen = /v/-tier
Very few battle shounen are actually good, but they aren't as bad as people make them seem. In general, shounen type anime is good but accessible, and that's why huge anime nerds hate it.
>>150063321
they're good when done right
>>150066112
This, they are not as "deep and mature" as some fags would like, but it's a fun way to shut down your brain for a while and just enjoy

One Piece doesn't feel like a Battle Shounen like Naruto or Bleach but a fun adventure manga with some fights great characterzation and development and the whole cast is pretty likeable. I know everyone isn't going to agree that One Piece is good but I wish people would accept that some like the manga/anime.
>>150063402
But that's true
Azumanga Daioh is shounen
Welcome to the NHK is shounen
Samurai Champloo is shounen
Watamote is shounen
>>150063321
DRAGON DRAGON ROCK THE DRAGON
>>150063402
Its also a genre.
>>150063321
I like it
>>150064713
bait
>>150063321
It's simple, but fun.
its SHIT.
no suspension of disbelief, false drama, unrealistic scenarios, deus ex machine and the power of friendship. why bother?

jojo is shit because its zany, wild nature has no opposite state to reflect on. when there is tension on screen 95% of the time, its just tedious and it loses its impact.
i actually wish jojo had some filler. the only stand fights i liked in part 3 were the darby brothers because it was something the show desperately needed--a different way to resolve issues other than through 2 metre death machine stands
keijo is pretty gud.
