I might as well address people who say that I think that all shounen is garbage: A good amount of shounen is trash, meant to bait certain groups of people into getting hooked, but that does not mean that there are good shounen. Saint Seiya, Kinnikuman, Yu Yu Hakusho and the original Dragon Ball are just a few of shounen which feature hallmarks of forethought and quality.
I'm going to sin against the DBZ fans...I remember quite clearly sitting around in a circle in elementary school as my friends talked about the recent episodes on Toonami and my eyes glazed over. I just couldn't get into it. The comic was a lot of fun though.
Stuff like Chainsaw Man is untouchable trash, though. I have had the misfortune to read a little bit of it.
True, shounen after all is a demographic, not exactly a perfect indicator of quality!
Aw, I love DBZ, DB is much more down to earth, but I was raised on DBZ. Yu Yu is awesome.
