WTF. I haven't sen the anime, but in the manga the Shibuya arc is one of the best shonen arcs in recent memory. Did they frick the adaptation that badly or the guy got filtered?
>or the guy got filtered?
There's nothing to be "filtered" by in the Shibuya arc. It's just cool fights one after another and one significant reveal. No mindblowing writing or twists or character moments. It's only amazing if the only thing you enjoy about shonen is the fights.
The pacing of it in animation really highlights its faults. Jogo-Sukuna was also better in the manga in my opinion. It's also made worse retroactively by the next arc because a bunch of shit gets completely memory holed.
I'm actually a millennial whose brain has been so rotted out by the internet to have no imagination. Now anyone who watches or reads JJK needs a lot of suspension of disbelief.
>Hey b***h you came over to *my* country with *your* shitty cartoon.
nobody is forcing you to watch it dumb dumb, you literally have to go out of your way to watch it, same goes for threads about it.

>Writer wants to stop making this series >Still does it because it pays the bills
Just fricking end it, the Shibuya arc was the peak of this series and it's been downhill ever since.
>Person makes something and makes millions off it >Proceeds to milk it even harder for extra millions
He's not doing it to keep the lights running he's doing it because he did all the hard work already so now he can just produce stinky shitty slop and people will eat it up. Look at Dragon Ball Super. That shit is awful but look how much money that makes. No one is bullying him or threatening him at gunpoint to keep working on something he doesn't like. He's getting huge bucks to doodle on paper all day. Stop feeling bad for these type of people.
It's just a marathon of fights and shock value because a few characters die and a bunch of random background extras get deleted when buildings explode or get cut up.
It's Michael Bay, but anime
I mean old Dragon Ball is fine but it's not like Goku is going to lose a hand or Krillin is going to go through his wheel chair arc. Hell they are even having a baby arc so I can't imagine that series is going anywhere lmao.
Basically no comparison to DBZ at all. Its HxH with the aesthetic of bleach, which honestly could be worse. Lots of bland ass characters but a couple fun ones if you're just in the mood for some fast food shonen. I really like the gambling guy who's noble phantasm/bankai is a pachinko machine
HxH is genuinely cringe, I have no idea why people love it so much.
"Nen" is not deep. Togashi pretends it is, but its literally just used like a combination of DBZ power level and JJBA stand madness. Its clunky. Its full of the worst anike tropes of "heh, i can only keep this up for another minute... I've got to end this now!" transformations and shit. People think its deep just because mereum goes from evil to not evil. The characters are bland and flat.
Whenever you see any praise for any shounen shit, this is always the answer. Nobody over the mental age of 5 enjoys any of this shit. In a decade or two it'll be wall to wall "omg demon slayer was muh childhood" posters.
actually all anime is shallow, that doesnt make all of them bad, i hate how people like to pretend that cartoons about kids beating the shit out of each other with flashy moves are remotely deep, its just dumb fun
>HxH is genuinely cringe, I have no idea why people love it so much. >"Nen" is not deep. Togashi pretends it is,
Nen isn't really the main appeal of the series. It's not even introduced until 6 volumes in. The real draw to hxh is how seemlessly it combines and can switch on the fly between whimsical upbeat shonen battler show and tense dramatic action and/or political thriller show >People think its deep just because mereum goes from evil to not evil
the interesting part is that it subverts typical genre expectations. The arch is about watching the chimera ants transform from human to animal, while the humans resort to spite driven animalistic tactics. You see this kind of subversion throughout the arc. The old master archetype's life's training ends up being for nothing, the infinite potential child character throws it all away, the cool headed salaryman fighter is driven to insanity, the edgy assassin kid and the meathead brawler end up being the most compassionate of the humans, all the noble sacrifices end up being rather meaningless, you are more invested in the character's words than the actions during the big duel, and so on. It's basically an anti-shonen arc
>O...OK, IT'S THE SAME, B...BUT HAVE YOU NOTICE THE CHARACTER DESIGN???
kek u mad? Yeah, u mad.
>When American cartoons copy Japanese designs
WTF CRINGE COPY CAT CRINGE 🙁 >When Japanese people do it
🙂
And yet, the two characters have completely different personality, story arc and narrative purpose. Togashi took inspiration from his favourite mangaka and made something completely new that people loved (like a real artist). In fact it was so new and groundbreaking that GayGay decided to blatantly rip it off. However he did not understand the chimer ant final arc and the result was a derivative saga loved only by little edgelords, and which to this day is referred as "peak JJK". COPE.
I'm watching this show and every fight is the same, the '''comedy''' is also just awkward too and doesn't land.
>I'M GOING TO USE MY SPECIAL ABILITY >OH NO NOT THE SPECIAL ABILITY >OH WAIT I ALSO HAVE A SPECIAL ABILITY THAT NEGATES YOUR SPECIAL ABILITY >OH NO NOT THAT OTHER SPECIAL ABILITY THAT COUNTERS MY SPECIAL ABILITY, OH WAIT I ALSO HAVE ANOTHER SPECIAL ABILITY THAT COUNTERS YOUR SPECIAL ABILITY
Idk. I watched one episode where he fought some Butler or some shit in a mansion and they would not shut the frick up before the battle, during the battle, and after the battle. No I don't remember what fricking part of person it was. It's not a very memorable anime. Besides them hunting down those morons for their red eyes. That was interesting but also really fricking gay since it's attached to that boring fricking blonde dude?girl? who dressed like a moronic carpet seller.
Isn't that how most action animes and mangoes do it? I had to stop reading My Hero Academy because they're still doing a shitty final battle against the final boss or something and it never seems to be ending.
like every other shounen ever
episode 10 >ahh, the power level of my enemy is 5000, but mine is only 4000 >ahh, somehow before dying I remembered my brother and my emotions made my power level up to 8000

I'm looking for a bento box, it cant be pinku (that's Japanese for pink) or any girl color. It has to be of 2 or more kotoba (that's Japanese for 2 compartments) and has be be chibi (small) sized. And has to be really kawaii (cute). Also It has to be about 10-20 bux. And you have to post pics of it first (i want to make shure it's kawaii [cute]). And it would be nice if it came with matching chopstick holder (WITH chopsticks). OH! and it CANNOT have any cartoon pictures, or be made out of plastic. It has to be made of ceramic, or something like that. Also it would be nice if it was made in japan. and not in china or corea (Korea) or whatever. I have found a bento box similar to the one im describing in e-bay, but it was 1 kotoba, and i don't want my gohan (rice) to touch my other things (it can get wet and i would not like that, plus 2 compartments looks more kawaii)
Shit's insane to me how, despite a larger variety of manga and anime available outside of Japan than any period ever(and faster too), the most popular stuff adults talk about is still fricking shonen meant for kids and teenagers that run for a decade+.
Even back in the day when those website was a bunch of teenagers watching Adult swim their parents paid for, Cowboy Bebop, Lupin, FLCL, Big O, all of those would at least have some variety and be shorter form and feel like they catered more to older audiences. Now you talk to grown ass people and they're all watching One Piece and shit.
yeah i dont get it either, the only shonen i liked were fist of the north star and naruto then i realized all shonen is the same and started looking for different stuff, there is so much good stuff out there i dont get how people watch that other shit especially if they already watched something like dbz
>Cowboy Bebop, Lupin, FLCL, Big O,
Always funny when people try and act like their childhood was the fricking best and list absolute garbage shows popular with the same audience of moronic 12 year olds, but 20 years ago when THEY were 12.
Your issue is trying to talk to people about anime to begin with. 99.99% of people have awful taste and will only watch whatever the biggest shows are. You can work out if someone is worth talking to in 5 seconds, there are a dozen basic litmus test questions. You can ask what their favorite anime movie is, if it's anything by Miyazaki or Shinkai, they're a moron. You can ask what their favorite show is this season, if you get a blank stare, they're a moron.
I mean, everyone is different. The best animated movie ever made in my opinion is DYRL, but I'm not going to begrudge anyone who thinks a Satoshi Kon movie is their favorite. It's fine not to like the same things, but what is important is a basic level of knowledge. It's been a few years now, so a pretty easy question to ask someone would be something like what did you think of Katanagatari. Anyone with any degree of literacy would pass a litmus test like that, and the vast majority of morons would fail it.
>No one HAS to watch or read anything.
Do you think someone is human if they haven't seen Terminator?
There are things you should have seen. Not into anime? I don't expect you to be big into 40 year old movies. A litmus test exists for me to probe how interested you are in something, so I don't wind up looking like an idiot trying to discuss Galaxy 999 with a guy who couldn't name 5 animation studios. Human interaction is about common ground, and if a guy goes "oh man, I hecking love anime", I need feeler gauges to work out if he's bullshitting, just a moron, or actually has some basic experience.
You seem to be under the impression that whether someone is moronic is determined by how much anime they have watched.
Someone is moronic when they act like they're into something but that interest is surface deep. I don't care if you don't watch anime, we can talk about 80s action films instead.

Yeah, you aren't. Yet more proof that litmus tests work.
Shitty shounen subsidizes seinen who are somewhat more original. I guess studios made more money in the 2010s when they could risk making more original series. Also boomers still read their comics, it's not a new thing.
You want to know the secret
Shonen is popular because it is the best
the rest of anime is just homosexuals jerking each other off for having obscure taste
You can say shit like this about anything >why do people keep watching action flicks? >why do people keep watching sitcoms? >why do people keep watching soap operas? >why do people keep watching super hero movies?
not everyone has to be an autist like you
>writer kills off Gojo because he was never supposed to be a main character but editors forced him >main character is literally garbage and never does anything >bad guys are way more interesting >Sukunas power level is now broken tier with how easily he destroyed Gojo meaning to beat him theres gonna be some unsatisfying asspull
i just dont see this shit wrapping up well also seems like the creator actually hates the series
It can't, the novelty of it back in the day was that it was foreign and exotic slop you'd watch to feel special. Now that it's become the de facto media for bugman zoomers, it's become clear it was always crap.
the animation and choreography are fricking insane especially for just a series and not a film. insane quality
that's why it feels so unnecessary when they stop fights to explain why the negative energy bubble cancelled out the positive double negative energy and i made you lower your outward expansion that way my inward energy negative spike overloaded your
like holy shit you dont need that shit, its sucks and its not explained in an entertaining way. its like hXh with all its nen autism
I hate when shows do this. Demon Slayer does this with flashbacks for characters we just saw mow down entire towns to try and give them a tragic backstory. It doesn’t work
the power level shit felt so obvious with gojo that locking him away literally felt like the hand of the writer coming down from the heavens and saying "you are too strong im putting you away for now and ill take you back out when i need you"
thats literally what happened there was no where to put him that wouldnt make sense since any problem that popped up the question of >why doesnt Gojo just one shot the bad guy
would always be in the air. IIRC he wasnt even supposed to be in the story that much but the writers hand got forced since he was extremely popular.
The eternal weeb cycle in full display in this thread >normal guy: I like this show, luffy/goku/gojo/etc. punches a guy and it's cool >weeb: umm that's not like my epic favorite shows like slice of life middleschool girls or Isekai #7892, therefore it's garbage
This is why I don't tell anyone I watch anime and almost never talk about it on here. I don't think I've ever had an enjoyable conversation with anime fans.
I feel like I've finally outgrown anime. Everything I see nowadays is just embarrassing kiddy shit that looks like an advertisement for toys or something. I don't understand how there are adults who could watch this nonsense, especially those who are buying all this merchandise and clogging their homes with it, and not feel deeply ashamed of themselves.
I can't really imagine being so much of a child that you think you can "outgrow" a form of entertainment. When are you going to grow up and stop watching movies?
>watch season one of sorcery fight >thinks its pretty but the story and fights are mediocre as frick >internet collectively creams its jeans and says its the best shonen ever >watch season two of sorcery fight >think its really pretty great and has fun, captivating fights >internet says hmm I think the shows has fallen off, its all about huge fights and not exploring the backstories of the lame high schoolers enough
I had the same opinion on both seasons
What I don't like with the season 2 is the powerlevel non-sense.
God characters >>>>>>>> Class S >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> main cast
Who cares about the students at this point?
>Who cares about the students at this point?
I think you're right, but season 2, as well as the start of the next arc, thins the herd on the cast a lot. Most of the weaker students either die, are beat up enough from shibuya to be sidelined, or just act as support to the S class and above. I started reading the Culling Games arc after finishing season 2 and all the good guys are either main characters who've gotten buffed or upperclassmen students closer to Gojo than Nanami in power.
>gf knows I hate shonen >you'll see anon it's not like other shonens give it a try >first episode >so anyway here I am, super athletic teengage genki me, on my way to receive some bullshit power
no thanks, dropped
>that bad guy is... someone who was bullied at school and is mistreated by his mother so he decides to become a jellyfish monster
Do Japanese people really find this compelling and interesting?
It's the laziest "feel sympathy for the villain" excuse they could find and it's cliched as frick.
>On a 2021 survey conducted by LINE Research asking Japanese high school students what manga series they are currently into, Jujutsu Kaisen topped the rankings for both girls and boys.[105]
How is it possible a shounen topped the rankings for girls too? Also there's quite a lot of pretty disgusting things in the manga, you wouldn't think girls would like it.
WTF. I haven't sen the anime, but in the manga the Shibuya arc is one of the best shonen arcs in recent memory. Did they frick the adaptation that badly or the guy got filtered?
IGN is alone on this. I admire their bravery in calling out JJK for being the unoriginal mediocrity it is
They adapted it pretty well.
>or the guy got filtered?
There's nothing to be "filtered" by in the Shibuya arc. It's just cool fights one after another and one significant reveal. No mindblowing writing or twists or character moments. It's only amazing if the only thing you enjoy about shonen is the fights.

The pacing of it in animation really highlights its faults. Jogo-Sukuna was also better in the manga in my opinion. It's also made worse retroactively by the next arc because a bunch of shit gets completely memory holed.
>A fight with no movement, color, voice acting, music is better than a fight with all of that
Yikes. Of all the manga genres, shounen fighting was made for anime.
I'm so glad I'm not a zoomer whose brain has been so rotted out by the internet to have no imagination or suspension of disbelief.

The Japanese system is to let the creator own the work, but the company owns the creator.
It's just a marathon of fights and shock value because a few characters die and a bunch of random background extras get deleted when buildings explode or get cut up.
It's Michael Bay, but anime
yeah its fun to watch when my bro shows me an episode or two but i wouldnt go out of my way to watch it
That's nice and all but I don't let others dictate what I should think much less someone that looks like a literal neckbeard.
If you like JJK you're dysgenic too
You're either fat, deformed, stupid, or Indian
there was an indian kid in my college with Gojo as his wallpaper

jesus thats too cringe even for me, but at the same time its kinda nice(?) i have mixed feelings abou this one

ah so that's why this anime is so popular.
It's main demographic is teenage girls lmao.
it's just like kpop but anime.
Fujos, 3rd worlders, and trannies
This is basically how it goes when anything that is intolerable garbage ever gets fans.
I did like Blue Lock even though it's obviously built with a lot of homoerotic undertones.
*troonhole tampon
I literally have no idea what you are talking about.
Just stop letting fat neckbeards dictate your tastes. It's a sign of weak character and pathetic.
On one hand a literal neckbeard might know a lot about anime, on the other hand people who look like that obviously lack a sense of aesthetics.
goyslop, america
:/
goyslop, for japanese middle schoolers

It filled a void that Bleach left, also Tokyo Ghoul.
kek yeah, wonder why
Such a fricking fraudulent franchise. There is NOTHING you will get from JJK that you won’t already get from watching other anime like HxH or DBZ.
Gore and actual fights. Hunter x Hunter feels like I'm watching an anime for babies for most of the time.
>adult show means characters have le sex and blood xD
THIS IS LITERALLY A SHOW FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN YOU TRANIME BRAINROT moron PLEASE FIND HELP

Is that what you tell your mommy too if she asks you to calm down?
Me and my mom laugh at trannies together, she sends me trans people in our town and I send her your posts, it’s a wholesome exchange
>Gore and actual fights.
I mean old Dragon Ball is fine but it's not like Goku is going to lose a hand or Krillin is going to go through his wheel chair arc. Hell they are even having a baby arc so I can't imagine that series is going anywhere lmao.
shit like Goku getting a hole blown in him or recoome breaking Gohan's neck were impactful.
Yeah death is really impactful when you can collect 7 mcguffins and wish people back to life multiple times.
doesn't matter that he swallowed a senzu bean right after, seeing Gohan be a twitching, paralyzed mess is fairly graphic.
gore and fights in anime isn't edgy. Kinda moronic take there, save that image for another time.
>I saw this guy get decapitated so now I'm an adult n-no trust me I'm not watching anime for young teens
Hunter x Hunter and Dragon Ball Super are like PG + 13 horror movies. It was never going to be scary or good.
and so does these nu animes but homosexuals here kept insisting it's good
this. shit looks like Detective Conan
>Detective Conan
But Conan is kino
These shows all wish they were half as good as Detective Conan.
Goofy meme shit like JJK wishes it had half the quality as Conan.
better character design instead of watching teletubbies trying to look mean and fight
Don't forget Bleach. Bleach is JJK with SOUL
Basically no comparison to DBZ at all. Its HxH with the aesthetic of bleach, which honestly could be worse. Lots of bland ass characters but a couple fun ones if you're just in the mood for some fast food shonen. I really like the gambling guy who's noble phantasm/bankai is a pachinko machine

People think its deep just because mereum goes from evil to not evil. The characters are bland and flat.
HxH is just DBZ for a younger generation.
Whenever you see any praise for any shounen shit, this is always the answer. Nobody over the mental age of 5 enjoys any of this shit. In a decade or two it'll be wall to wall "omg demon slayer was muh childhood" posters.

Even back in the day when those website was a bunch of teenagers watching Adult swim their parents paid for, Cowboy Bebop, Lupin, FLCL, Big O, all of those would at least have some variety and be shorter form and feel like they catered more to older audiences. Now you talk to grown ass people and they're all watching One Piece and shit.
yeah i dont get it either, the only shonen i liked were fist of the north star and naruto then i realized all shonen is the same and started looking for different stuff, there is so much good stuff out there i dont get how people watch that other shit especially if they already watched something like dbz
>Cowboy Bebop, Lupin, FLCL, Big O,
Always funny when people try and act like their childhood was the fricking best and list absolute garbage shows popular with the same audience of moronic 12 year olds, but 20 years ago when THEY were 12.
Your issue is trying to talk to people about anime to begin with. 99.99% of people have awful taste and will only watch whatever the biggest shows are. You can work out if someone is worth talking to in 5 seconds, there are a dozen basic litmus test questions. You can ask what their favorite anime movie is, if it's anything by Miyazaki or Shinkai, they're a moron. You can ask what their favorite show is this season, if you get a blank stare, they're a moron.
what is good anime taste for you?
I mean, everyone is different. The best animated movie ever made in my opinion is DYRL, but I'm not going to begrudge anyone who thinks a Satoshi Kon movie is their favorite. It's fine not to like the same things, but what is important is a basic level of knowledge. It's been a few years now, so a pretty easy question to ask someone would be something like what did you think of Katanagatari. Anyone with any degree of literacy would pass a litmus test like that, and the vast majority of morons would fail it.
It's fricking entertainment anon, not a school test. No one HAS to watch or read anything.
>No one HAS to watch or read anything.
Do you think someone is human if they haven't seen Terminator?
There are things you should have seen. Not into anime? I don't expect you to be big into 40 year old movies. A litmus test exists for me to probe how interested you are in something, so I don't wind up looking like an idiot trying to discuss Galaxy 999 with a guy who couldn't name 5 animation studios. Human interaction is about common ground, and if a guy goes "oh man, I hecking love anime", I need feeler gauges to work out if he's bullshitting, just a moron, or actually has some basic experience.
Someone is moronic when they act like they're into something but that interest is surface deep. I don't care if you don't watch anime, we can talk about 80s action films instead.
>Do you think someone is human if they haven't seen Terminator?
I guess I'm not human lmao
>lmao
Yeah, you aren't. Yet more proof that litmus tests work.
You seem to be under the impression that whether someone is moronic is determined by how much anime they have watched.
Shitty shounen subsidizes seinen who are somewhat more original. I guess studios made more money in the 2010s when they could risk making more original series. Also boomers still read their comics, it's not a new thing.
You want to know the secret
Shonen is popular because it is the best
the rest of anime is just homosexuals jerking each other off for having obscure taste
Two of the best shows airing right now are seinen (Frieren/Apothecary Diaries). Best anime of 2023 is seinen (Vinland Saga season 2)
You can say shit like this about anything
>why do people keep watching action flicks?
>why do people keep watching sitcoms?
>why do people keep watching soap operas?
>why do people keep watching super hero movies?
not everyone has to be an autist like you
It falls into the buzzword category but "Forced Hype" really sums this series up well
>writer kills off Gojo because he was never supposed to be a main character but editors forced him
>main character is literally garbage and never does anything
>bad guys are way more interesting
>Sukunas power level is now broken tier with how easily he destroyed Gojo meaning to beat him theres gonna be some unsatisfying asspull
i just dont see this shit wrapping up well also seems like the creator actually hates the series
Didn't they overwork the animators and shit this out uber-rushed or some shit
>anime starts getting reviewed
>its exposed as dogshit
is anyone truly surprised
Watch Ghost Sweeper Mikami instead.
It can't, the novelty of it back in the day was that it was foreign and exotic slop you'd watch to feel special. Now that it's become the de facto media for bugman zoomers, it's become clear it was always crap.
the animation and choreography are fricking insane especially for just a series and not a film. insane quality
that's why it feels so unnecessary when they stop fights to explain why the negative energy bubble cancelled out the positive double negative energy and i made you lower your outward expansion that way my inward energy negative spike overloaded your
like holy shit you dont need that shit, its sucks and its not explained in an entertaining way. its like hXh with all its nen autism
I hate when shows do this. Demon Slayer does this with flashbacks for characters we just saw mow down entire towns to try and give them a tragic backstory. It doesn’t work
fist of the north star did this, i didnt really minded, yeah it made me feel bad a bit but whatever he is dead now
the power level shit felt so obvious with gojo that locking him away literally felt like the hand of the writer coming down from the heavens and saying "you are too strong im putting you away for now and ill take you back out when i need you"
thats literally what happened there was no where to put him that wouldnt make sense since any problem that popped up the question of
>why doesnt Gojo just one shot the bad guy
would always be in the air. IIRC he wasnt even supposed to be in the story that much but the writers hand got forced since he was extremely popular.
The eternal weeb cycle in full display in this thread
>normal guy: I like this show, luffy/goku/gojo/etc. punches a guy and it's cool
>weeb: umm that's not like my epic favorite shows like slice of life middleschool girls or Isekai #7892, therefore it's garbage
>Normal people
>Building shrines for anime characters and squirting period blood on their statues
Nope.
This is why I don't tell anyone I watch anime and almost never talk about it on here. I don't think I've ever had an enjoyable conversation with anime fans.
>shounen
Rating Jobjobber Asspullen as 'okay' is awfully generous
I feel like I've finally outgrown anime. Everything I see nowadays is just embarrassing kiddy shit that looks like an advertisement for toys or something. I don't understand how there are adults who could watch this nonsense, especially those who are buying all this merchandise and clogging their homes with it, and not feel deeply ashamed of themselves.
I can't really imagine being so much of a child that you think you can "outgrow" a form of entertainment. When are you going to grow up and stop watching movies?
>I don't understand how there are adults who could watch this nonsense
I don't understand how there are men who could watch TV shows
>watch season one of sorcery fight
>thinks its pretty but the story and fights are mediocre as frick
>internet collectively creams its jeans and says its the best shonen ever
>watch season two of sorcery fight
>think its really pretty great and has fun, captivating fights
>internet says hmm I think the shows has fallen off, its all about huge fights and not exploring the backstories of the lame high schoolers enough
dont you love when these pseuds pretend their anime has any depth beyond the fights?
I had the same opinion on both seasons
What I don't like with the season 2 is the powerlevel non-sense.
God characters >>>>>>>> Class S >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> main cast
Who cares about the students at this point?
I'd agree with you had the story not already on the endgame. It's not going to be a long series
>Who cares about the students at this point?
I think you're right, but season 2, as well as the start of the next arc, thins the herd on the cast a lot. Most of the weaker students either die, are beat up enough from shibuya to be sidelined, or just act as support to the S class and above. I started reading the Culling Games arc after finishing season 2 and all the good guys are either main characters who've gotten buffed or upperclassmen students closer to Gojo than Nanami in power.
>gf knows I hate shonen
>you'll see anon it's not like other shonens give it a try
>first episode
>so anyway here I am, super athletic teengage genki me, on my way to receive some bullshit power
no thanks, dropped
I competed in shot put and that was so stupid. Pick one up one single time before you write something like that.
what?
Cannonball heavy. Make hard throw. Overhand super hard!
What is it that makes shounen so annoying and bad
>that bad guy is... someone who was bullied at school and is mistreated by his mother so he decides to become a jellyfish monster
Do Japanese people really find this compelling and interesting?
It's the laziest "feel sympathy for the villain" excuse they could find and it's cliched as frick.
The insane thing is that people fricking love that arc. School shooter-kun is some people's favorite character
Here's your supposed final antagonist meeting his unexpected end despite never accomplishing much, bros.
Your expectations have been subverted.
>IGN
Ghost in the shell (the first one) is one of the most kino films to exist
You're right, it's kino as frick.
>On a 2021 survey conducted by LINE Research asking Japanese high school students what manga series they are currently into, Jujutsu Kaisen topped the rankings for both girls and boys.[105]
How is it possible a shounen topped the rankings for girls too? Also there's quite a lot of pretty disgusting things in the manga, you wouldn't think girls would like it.
Mwaaah the Japanese battle shounen has always been celebrated for its broad appeal
The characters are fujomagnets it's not that difficult.
I can't remember what scene it was specifically, but somewhere within the first 5 episodes of this I realized it was for gays
Maybe a scene of Gojo and Nanami interacting? A lot of the relationships between men in the series just feel super fujo-y
pretty boys, plus pretty boys who are close friends. For boys its zoomer bleach with some hunter x hunter sprinkled in
Shonen mangas where people aren't just midgets are quite rare. Look at Demon Slayer, kids love this show because characters look like them.
>derivative shonen shit cant be kino
yes
