I've seen chainsaw man JJK hell paradise and others I think for first in years I've seen a new shouen that doesn't follow the same formula, all the others are good don't get me wrong but for something to be great in my eyes it's rewatchablity, and DDD feels much more refreshing, once the anime ends, hopefully 2nd season gets announced, but the manga is looking very tantalizing as well. Can't wait for both





All in my opinion

That fact I have to point this out is ridiculous

I don't know what shouen is (small fire?) but I do think you mean specifically ACTION shounen

Not the same genre but I feel like the last big anime we had that has both esp and aliens was probably haruhi


I personally enjoyed Undead Unluck more even though the early chapters had SA played off as a gag

Basically boils down to “I like this one more than others”, great, but not relevant enough to claim it is more than the others.
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

@Cielord you're clearly clueless shouen has been around for decades so when people say new gen as in new generation they're talking about (new) shows of that genre within the past 5 years or so, I'm not the first to use it.

@mydaddy just so you now, everyone here is also giving their opinions so don't let it get under your skin if they don't necessarily agree or have differing opinions.

also, I enjoy Dandadan very much! i think it's been one of the best new gen overall. it has great visuals, stroy is unique, it's romcom aspects are also very refreshing, and the characters seem very real.

True

Your comment just surprised me and I was like “is it me or the anime”, I expressed how I felt about the anime

I do apologize for any confusion or misunderstanding

1. Shounen isn't a genre but a demographic.
2. They definitely don't, people call everything new gen, including series like AoT or MHA. Even this thread proves that people don't use it to refer to Shonen shows that came out in the last 5 years, as Mob Psycho 100 has been described as such.

@mydaddy To add on to this post above me, the term new-gen in my opinion is a diluted term that people always bring up when something just gets released and gets hyped up as its some sort of god send form of media.

Also Trinity Seven is a harem fan service anime and Masumune-kun's Revenge is a romance anime which are both listed as Shounen series. People still refer to Shounen as Dragon Ball, Bleach, One piece, and Naruto, where you get your daily dose of action. I get it but at the same time Shounen is not just that. You should be more specific about what you're into, for example I'm into isekai's/fantasy anime.

@Cielord in terms of manga, shounen is, in fact, a genre.

new gen or new generation is also a term that's used often in this community. it's usually agreed that 10 years is too far to be called new gen.

just so you know.

It's objectively not a genre, not in terms of manga or anime.

Actually, I disagree on this one. Yes, in the anime it's still not visible enough, but as manga progresses, it's the same shounen formula. People like to rag on Demon Slayer but it has similar structure of storytelling. If you didn't read manga yet, be ready for that. I don't saying this is a bad thing. It has good humor, quirky and unexpected moments, good characters that make watching and reading Dandadan fun. But saying that Dandadan makes something with shounen formula is kinda wrong

@Cielord new gen is for the series that are serialized mostly after Naruto and Bleach ended, to say that these are their replacement like JJK, Black Clover and even MHA. and I guess for series like Chainsaw Man, Kaiju 8, DDD, and Sakamoto days we can name the era the renaissance era since we have a new batch of talents in WSJ. this is just me yapping you can disagree with me, that's fine tho.

@Saimatsu_Fan Dandadan is refreshing, the reason is that the base of this series is the romance between Ken and Momo, the opposite of most of the battle shounen out there, not saying there aren't any series like this out there but saying it is not refreshing is wrong to me...

@Cielord you can easily look it up as I did. Unless we're looking at different results.

And how is "usually agreed that 10 years is too far" and "5 years ago" contradictory? Its within that time frame. Naruto manga ended in 2014. The anime in 2017. New anime fans are looking for "their Naruto" imo which is why they like using the term. And so what? That's fine.

Look, I don't like that you called it retarded. And you have not been helpful nor positive in responding to the topic of the post. I wanted to be helpful but it seems like I've only caused more problems. I apologize for antagonizing you. Anime should be welcoming and not gate keeping or a battle ground.
