Were the big three shounen of the noughties legitimately some of the greatest animes of all time? Why or why not and why doesn't anything since measure up?

Shounenshitters will cry for decades about random characters not getting enough development when the whole genre is literally meant for young boys.

For real. FMA and Chainsaw Man are just as much for children and are infinitely better.

Even as a teenager, around the 100 episode mark I seen the rolling narrative for what it was. It's literally like wrestling or a soap opera, they can just keep on stacking new villains and power levels over and over.

shonenshitters will watch 200 episodes of paper thin characters screaming technique names at each other and call it peak

I stopped watching One Piece because the Doflamingo fight felt more like vlogs giving you 15 second updates on each character.

Go watch Dededede streaming now actual peak and it has Donald Trump

Excuse me comrade but Naruto has always had crazy powers

Idk where else I'm gonna post this

I love how they just had to make the actual actual final boss just god.

laughs in Dragon Ball

There's a short greentext about how naruto was reduced to an eyeball arms race where everyone was trying to get the strongest eyeballs. The author really invented one of the coolest things ever and just ran with it like 90% ignoring the fact that they're ninjas. There were WAYYYY too many people with special powers. This is the only show I've ever seen that started with a hard magic system and ended with a soft magic system.

Watched that show growing up I thought it was fun and the tournament arc was cool when Rock Lee takes off his weights but stopped paying attention some time past that it got so dramatic and over the top it wasn't fun anymore

This moment was still kino.

As far as I am aware that one minute is the only good thing that came out of the final naruto battle arc.

This opening was also pretty good for a kids show at the time.

Unironically the Netflix version is better.

made for children yeah. enjoy it as a vision into early 200s japan and the values an the prioirities and the emssages are mostly chilling its about freedom man its freedom and ideals man

Isekais get the rope

>Hunter X Hunter

>MHA

Bait used to be believable. At least say something proven in quality.

The REAL big three:

• Dragon Ball

• Dragon Ball Z

• Dragon Ball Super

Bleach, Narootoo, and One Piece were never good. Not even close to tolerable. They're popular only because weebs are a bunch of pigs at the trough.

What's MHA?

Fma brotherhood is peak as frick

Dbz >>>>>>>>>>> big 3 too

Full Metal Alchemist is the only anime so good they made multiple versions of it. I have never seen My Hero Academia. Animax was this channel from my childhood and even their FMA ad used to be kino.

Looking at those ads I really feel like advestisements went backwards the past decade. Darn......the last generation of actually competent people really did go extinct after the smartphone came out.

Hunter X hunter is good but the newest manga arc has too many characters and is getting a bit boring. Hunter X hunter was peak till the end of the ant king arc.

Bleach mainly struggled with having silly amounts of filler and a story that went on far longer than it needed to.

"Yikes, I lost my powers again. Guess I better discover more!"

MHA

Rope.

HxH would be 10 times better if the narrator would just shut the frick up

HxH

Never seen it.

MHA

Incredibly generic slop in a genre defined by generic slop. Seriously this is some of the biggest trash ever conceived out of Nipponistan. Having the worst western fanbase out of any anime ever is actually crazy considering how boring the series is.

FMA

Is this even shounen? I thought I counted as seinen.

Naruto

I will say the 1st arc (Land of Waves) for Naruto was bretty good, felt more like seinen than shounen. Naruto's only decent arcs were it's first 2 and then it went downhill into Japanese wizardcute twinkry.
