For the next couple of weeks, we’re teaming up with Patreon and other anime reactors on the platform to talk about our favorite anime’s and maybe discover new shows as well.

I’m curious what’s your favorite shonen anime?

If you been following us for a while then you know what ours is lmao. One Piece of course.

One of the biggest reasons it’s our favorite is the storytelling. This show weaves so many different storylines together, and somehow they all connect. Oda can bring a character up for a couple episodes, then bring them back 600 episodes later and make it fit the story like it was planned the whole time. You definitely see that with the arc we’re currently on right now. That long-game storytelling is crazy to us.

And that’s just one example. The impact these stories and characters have is what keeps us locked in and why it’s one of our favorite shonen anime’s.

Now let me know in the comments: what’s your favorite shonen anime? I’m curious to see what you guys will say.

To my fellow reactors what’s your favorite shonen anime👀 @Sora Anime @Dana Dubs @Otaku Steph @Psychotherapist Reacts

Gintama’s last 70 episodes alone would be the greatest shounen of all time and it’s not even close. One piece is an easy number 2 tho

Nathan Henry

First favorite : One Piece Second favorite : Overlord

Easily one piece and for the exact same reasons. Some complete random from episode 4 could still be around and end up being so unbelievably important in episode 500 and I just love the way Oda dosnt ever bs his way in a story line. He gives the viewer a subtle hint lets that hint linger and once hes ready to hit you with the facts it hits like a train

One Piece and Initial D. them D's.... I'm telling you 👀

Theywantkel

Gintama the funniest anime ever

Dana Dubs

This is what I love about One Piece, Oda has put an insane amount of thought into every single detail in his story

Eric Kivell

Gintama and kingdom. You know ball

Rock Hawk

Psychotherapist Reacts

One Piece is top-notch and a true OG for us 90s babies who grew up with the first few waves of anime before they became mainstream and cool

Caleb Piddington

Yall gotta watch Gurren Lagann one of the best animes I have ever seen

Psychotherapist Reacts

Haven’t thought about Initial D in ages, wow a deep callback and solid picks

Theywantkel

One piece Gintama Death note Jjk Berserk

Idk if it's cause people consider it a seinen (you could really make the argument for either, especially early on), but I'm surprised no one's brought up Hunter x Hunter. It's the same mangaka who made Yu Yu Hakusho in the 90s, and is genuinely unlike anything else out there. Still ongoing, might never reach completion, but it's one of the best and most interesting shonen-adjacent anime/manga we've got. One Piece will always be my favorite shonen, but Hunter x Hunter's a close second. That being said, I second the love on Kingdom, and raise y'all two more modern shonen, Sakamoto Days & Akane-banashi.

One Piece. Code Geass. Kingdom Gintama Interchangeable for me, but the 4 horsemen of anime. 👍🏽

Beamken

Wow I picked it up and was loving the comedy and heard it gets serious down the line, I think I stopped around 70 or so. Think I’ll restart

Sxmson

one piece always gonna be my number one but yuyu hakusho def number 2

Sora Anime

Attack on Titan is PEAK shonen!! But also One Piece is pretty peak I'm gonna be honest... I'm only on the 200s episodes rn tho so I have a lot of catching up to do

Dana Dubs

Love One Piece ❤️ I'll still never get over the fact that I cried over a ship's funeral. That broke me. Oda is the GOAT of storytelling

Eric Kivell

First 200 episodes have a serious arc about every 50 episodes. Then you get to season 2 and it’s got 2 serious arcs in 50 episodes. Then season 3 has 13 episodes with all the episodes being serious arcs. Then the end of season 4 has the shogun assassination arc (best arc of all time) and from then on it’s only serious arcs plus some movies. But even once you get to the 100 episode mark the comedy gets way better and way more consistently funny. First 50 or so episodes are kinda hard to get through so I’m not surprised you dropped it but they are necessary to watch so you understand the long running jokes. I promise you won’t regret watching it man. The serious arcs are far better than AOT, Naruto, bleach… and the comedy is as funny as family guy and the boondocks.

Otaku Steph

YESSS what a choice! One Piece humbling me and exposing my horrific memory, especially when calling back to events that happened 600+ episodes ago haha
