i haven't watched the whole thing, but from what I watched it seems pretty damn good

>>18223
>TTGL is not a shounen
gonna have to explain that one to me chief,is it because it's a mecha anime so it gets a free pass like Iron-blooded orphan ?

>>18230
Because it wasn't published in a shounen magazine. The magazine / publisher it comes from is what makes something a shounen, shoujo or seinen or whatever. Its not just demographics.

>>18232
It's an anime original
The manga adaptation did got published in a shonen magazine in Dengeki Comic Gao! and then transferred to Dengeki Daioh,both being shonen magazine.
The only thing that got published in a seinen magazine is the spin-off.

>>18232
>um akshually i know what you mean with this term, and i know everyone uses it to mean boyish fighting anime, but akshually
🤓

>>18234
Anime original shounen doesn't exist because shounen is a type of manga. Shounen anime isn't just boyish fighting anime, it's anime based on shounen manga publications and shounen anime is intrinsically linked to that style. Shounen publications are weekly and this informs what the manga is going to be to a great extent. It is unironically a genre as well as a demographic and its wrong to say its just boyish fighting anime since not all shounen is action shounen, lots of it is romance (most of the extremely popular romance anime are shounen) and Death Note isn't an action shounen either. The shounen genre is made up of a dew specific traits, such as pacing, character archetypes and story progression. Especially important is pacing since its especially informed by the manga. These are what make shounen up and they are why anime original shounen doesn't exist (unless they are specifically trying to emulate it) since these traits come from the shounen manga 'medium'. This is why TTGL isn't a shounen. The story is portrayed differently from a shounen and the pacing is basically as far from shounen pacing as you can get. The characters might work in a shounen but the show is undoubtedly based more on mecha and classic storytelling tropes and conventions than shounen ones, which is the case since it isn't an adaptation.

>Anime original shounen doesn't exist because shounen is a type of manga
<t. retard that doesnt understand how language and words evolve
trying to be pedant when you're just wrong in the modern use of the term by westerners just makes you a cunt
that is why TTGL is a shounen, while your romance anime arent

>>18239
Calm down. You're incorrect as I outlined in my post. Shounen is not the same as action and very few people think it is.

>>18237
i hear you, I don't care. Only my mom tells me how to use words

>>18239
chilax dude, damn

my hero academia should be s tier

Here's mine. If it's not in the pic, I probably haven't read it yet. I accept recs

>>19238
Actually, I think One Piece is just okay.

>All this trash taste
LMAO

>>19238
I would put blue lock into OK, same with bleach and one piece, maybe the last two into boring even. I couldn't get into titans, found it pretty stupid, so i wouldn't rank it. I don't think naruto is wrose than one piece so same cathegory or one step better. Deadly sins had couple of fun moment so maybe a step higher. Special trash tier for fairy tail.

>>19238
>No Dandadan
You're missing out.

S - One Piece, Bobobo-bo Bo-bob, JoJo, Death Note, Promised Neverland (Season 1)
A - Naruto, Full Metal Alchemist Brother Hood, Yugioh GX (the best of it), One Punch Man, Cowboy Bebop, Mob Psycho 100
B - Yugioh, Attack on Titan, Darling in the FranXX
C - Soul Eater, Haikyuu, Promised Neverland (Whole series), Bleach, ChainSaw man, High School DxD
D - Dr.Stone, My Hero Academia (**After Deku got like 8 powers, granted I did drop the series though), Detective Conan, Yu Yu HakuSho
F - Hunter x Hunter, Sword Art Online, Boruto
Can't say - Dragon Ball Z, Full Metal Alchemist
(Easily forgotten many shows that could be put on this list, like I almost forgot mob psycho).

Everything I'd say is pretty uncontroversial, except Hunter x Hunter, and Yu Yu Hakusho.

Granted, I haven't seen anything past the game arc in Hunter x Hunter, but it's so weird seeing how many people praise the series.
Other than the Hunter Exams and the York New Auction, every arc was either disappointing (like "saving" killua arc), or genuinely some of the worst media I've seen in my life (like the game arc except the dodge ball part).
I get it's a "deconstruction", but it's so boring that it makes me question if calling it a "deconstruction" hurts the genra.
I can easily point to what yu-gi-oh gx deconstructions for instance, but HxH I have to figure out if the show being boring is meant to be a deconstruction or just bad writing.

Yu Yu Hakusho I only seen the dark tournament, and stopped when I saw what was possible the worst ending to an arc that could've been written.
It the level of obvious bad writing that I've only seen with nes godzilla creepy pasta when the author inserted his dead girlfriend into the story to give him an excuse as to how he defeated red.

>>18227
Lmao cringe.
S post not posting a terrible take challenge (impossible).

>>19238
Why the placement for HxH and Promised Neverland?
Granted on the latter I only have seen the anime, but fuck man the first season was amazing.

>>18215
It's been a while, but how good was bleach?
I remember soul society being great, but I can't remember anything after since it was just forgettable. (Granted, I didn't really read 1000 year war arc that closely)

>>19237
Irony or is like the recent arcs good?
I heard great things about a villain arc, but last time I bought into hype I watched the first half of Attack on Titan season 4 and was disappointed.

>>18217
>>others
>don't matter
What about One Punch Man, the other series made by the creator of Mob Psycho 100?

A - JoJo, FMAB, Hunter x Hunter
B - Naruto
C - Dragon Ball Z
D - Dragon Ball Super

SS - HxH, YYH
S - Chainsaw Man, JoJo

F - everything else

>>20477
oh JJK is at least an A, forgot about that one

>>20477
>>20478
Why?

Especially SS, what excuse is there for the HxH game, tournament, or the Killua save arc?
Legit some of the worst media ever made.

>>18210
>I don't know because I quit watching it because of the cringe comedy, but it seems to be good
I was the same and dropped it because of the milk and short jokes just overloading me with cringe. My friend sat me down and we binged it. The cringe comedy really slows down as you get farther in, and the author shows some competency of philosophy which made me really like the show. That and the ending of the original anime, Edward gets transported to Nazi Germany, was pretty funny.

Before I trudged through the first 20 or so episodes, fma was bottom of the barrel, but after watching it all, it's one of my favorite of all time.

>>20522
thanks for the tip, made me want to go back and give it another chance, and power through the cringe

>>20517
yugioh arc is the only mid one lmao and its not even that bad

>>20517
also considering you put mob psycho as A tier your opinion is like objectively trash seeing as the entire politics of the show is your wrong for questioning the status quo. legitimately the worst media ive ever watched.

>>20548
The training is uninspired and uninteresting, plus a massive insult to the audience since it doesn't utilize the setting at all.
Even further, none of the setting is utilized except for the card transportation fighting, and the final fight, even then the final fight is the same boring one sided fights except one.

Those other arcs I can ramble how boring they are, but I don't care enough.
The bigger point is: it's genuine torture to watch that show.

>>20549
>Entire politics of the show is your wrong for questioning the status quo
It's been a while since I've seen the show, but I don't remember that at all.

>legitimately the worst media ive ever watched.
Lmao.
You're probably the same guy who made the Naruto hate thread.

>>20559
gen z is so fucking stupid they cant recognize a liberal mouthpiece. embarrassing.

>>20559
like the ENTIRE point of the show is that 1) ideas shape the world 2) the ideas already in place shouldn't be questioned by those with power.

It's the most vulgar reactionary garbage I've ever watched. And anyone who likes ONE is straight up not a Marxist but a fucking petty bourgeois retard.

>>20565
>>20566
You're forgetting that people don't just auto take in all the lessons/takes into a show, and the consumption is tied into their ideology.
I remember highlights from the show like self-improvement, controlling anger, dealing with a disability, etc. – (it turns out there's other parts to the show, gasp!!!!!!) – I don't remember lessons such as bowing to hiearchy because I don't agree with it, so my mind removes it.

It only becomes an issue if they're in a bubble of both media that constantly pushes it, and a social group that pushes that thinking.

I can do the reverse with HxH – despite the nonsensical asspulling in that thread of thinking the creator tied hegel to the show, even though it's more likely they're just a hack.
>Hunter x Hunter teaches that being a psychopathic murder, Killua, is completly okay because your friends will accept you.
>A clear defense of fascism by pushing the thinking: "The strongest should succeed, and the weak should be wiped out"
Or
>Hunter x Hunter teaches us the lesson that, by using the character Gon, child labor is good seeing how the world and show portrays Gon going through an exam to get a license to do work that's for adults
There, two (lazy) examples.
Now your show is: boring, terribly written, and now reactionary!

If only milenials weren't so retareded, you could've realized it.

for someone whining about /a/ you sure sound like your average 4chan faggot

yea dude > mob psycho is based and totally not an embarrassing appeal to the status quo because it taught me such adult lessons as controlling my anger. fucking retards.

>>20572
like straight up what theory have you actually read or are you just some pathetic moralist who was fash two years ago.

most pseudointellectual spergout i have seen in this shithole in months and its over some random anime, amazing, just throwing random buzzwords around that make you seem like an epic internet leftist because someone likes a show you dont

Granted I just skimmed the review, but it's pretty terrible.

>They reject "Death of an author" immediately
>They talk about the quality and reception of One Punch Man
<As if it's some common agree thinking
<Same article which adds in quotes and sources to the review, with citation marks, but couldn't be bothered to do any deeper research
>They get upset about Mob being told by his mentor that his power doesn't make him special
<A lesson needed seeing literally that Mob is very behind socially with how afraid he is with talking to randoms
>This is equivalate-ed to supporting the status quo
<Even though the lesson is completely compatible in rejecting the status quo since it rejects evaluating others higher than others purely because of some inherent quality or situation they're born into.
<This lesson is also something that doesn't make sense for modern times Japanese middle schooler to be confronted with – nor does it make sense in a story telling aspect to focus on that when the story is primarily focus on Mob, and subverting the usual approach of stories with a kid having psychic powers, (something best shown in him joining the fitness club that the esp club).
>The author of the blog takes a jab at anime youtubers praising the show
<Which doesn't makes sense as to why to include in this review
<And they also don't even include quotes from the video as well. Literally just sourcing to back up that they have made reviews
<The second reviewer, they didn't even do the sourcing for them.
<Lmao, what the fuck was the point of that?
>Gets angry about Reigan being a con artist and people liking him, immediately quotes plato about fiction being dangerous
<Even though people like him because despite fulfilling the dream of having your own business,
escaping the nightmare of the office job, and being this good person, something which shines in certain aspects – his situation he has got himself into, (having to scam people constantly), he realizes that he has to take responsibility for being in – something which is brought out by Mob.
<The big takeaway that everyone else sees, but the author, isn't that scam artists are actually good (until you get scammed yourself), but that there is a sympathetic/reasonable side to it, something of which you can learn.
<It's like if a homeless man stole food from you, they're not some entirely awful person, but that doesn't mean that stealing is good now, nor would it be used as an argument towards stealing being justified in certain situations.
>If they weren't spending time quoting Plato, they'd take a second to realize that people frequently analyze the media by only taking in aspects. Something ironically is a trope in super hero media, where the hero agrees with the bad guy on a problem, but not the solution, and then does nothing to deal with the problem.

I'd go on, but you get the point.

>>20578
Interesting list.
What compels you to rank post-timeskip naruto in D-tier?

I personally enjoyed it, but I'll admit the war arc dragged on, and I can't remember much with the art guy or Danzo.

>>20586
Death of the Author sucks. It is cited almost exclusively by idiots and for the wrong reasons too.

>>20587
Writing quality severely in some areas with some highlights. I think it would've been more fair for me to say pre-Kage summit to be in C tier and afterwards to be in D tier. But an example of what I'd consider bad writing is the ending of the Pain Invasion which, to me, was a fantastic arc with a horrible resolution making all of the stakes of the invasion meaningless.

>>20588
Funniest post in the thread.

No reason for why it should be dismised for the review, (something that makes the review look as if the author wanted to hate the show); no reason for why it's bad; and no arguments on a "good" usage – all to handwave the rest of the comment.

>>20592
Yea fair.
I still enjoyed it since it's the final turning point of Naruto's reputation – if the creator was allowed to kill more characters, and make this the final arc before Naruto vs Sasuke, it would've been much better.
Granted, some bullshit would've occured, since the original big 3 had to suffer from something.
