anime discussion is especially tough compared to, say, kpop or kdrama discussion because of how broad 'anime' is - it'd be like lumping together a bunch of the separate music genre threads like just the most recent page has mentions of girls of the wilds (not even an anime, sugoi), mushishi s2, black bullet, and knights of sidonia, none of which have much in common | ||

Dragon Ball, Jojo's Bizzare Adventure, and Fist of the North Star predate it by more than a decade, and things like Yu Yu Hakusho and Rurouni Kenshin also are older. And those aren't even the oldest, just some that most people recognize as being "classic" shounen. Naruto and Bleach are just the current worst offenders of "hey, let's make cookie cutter shounen and still make bank". Not all current shounen sucks, but it's probably one of the worst periods in recent history for the genre. | ||

The creator's story is air-fucking-tight, and it's been going for over a decade. He's set stuff in motion and created seeds for things that didn't show up for years and years. Kid's stuff, obviously, but genuinely fun and good quality. | ||

You're always going to have crap (hi Inuyasha), but on the whole the popular series that predate the current Shonen Jump running manga were much better. I don't read One Piece but I hear that's good. I'm mainly talking about the other two of the "Big 3" there is no such thing as the dragon ball z if you are talking about manga, it was all one manga called dragonball the pre Z stuff was just goku running around fighting robots too it was pretty dumb | ||

BanrixLinda 5ever. + Show Spoiler + Eh, it wasn't even the relationship being repaired that irked me (koukoxbanri fite me bambi) but rather the whole setup with amnesia just completely abandoned halfway through. It's like "He's really forgotten everything. Lets really just take four episodes to emphasize that this is the big one. EVERYTHING. It's all gone. It's very sad, we promise he's forgotten everything, this is the climax of the entire anime, and we assure you that he's forgotten every-OH HE SEES A MIRROR WELP THERE HES NO LONGER FORGOTTEN EVERYTHING THATS IT GOODNIGHT FOLKS, YOU'VE BEEN GREAT, THATS IT THATS ALL, WOOP Naruto and One Piece are both hilarious, but One Piece is funny because it doesn't take itself seriously at all for the most part, while Naruto is funny because the whole thing is just one big joke. | ||
