zoomer

The ones that showed up on Kids WB.

we can call Naruto bad in hindsight, but anyone who wasn't reading Naruto scanlations as they came out in the 2000s doesn't belong here

Goku, Zatch Bell, Yugi and Seiya

None of those guys, that dude in the black kimimo and orange hair I used to think that other girl with the same hair color was his sister

Ash

I made my own Zatch Bell book when I was a kid lol.

Yusuke

but later on as i'm approaching 30 I've come to terms with HxH being the best "shonen" manga

All of those were relevant in some form or another when I was a kid aside from that hero academy thing. Even as a kid Detective Conan felt like too much shit to catch up on though, and the only one I really still think fondly of out of the list is Gash Bell

>we can call Naruto bad in hindsight
We could also call Naruto bad back then. It's not as if people in the early/mid 2000s were beyond dropping a series. I certainly did. (I remember giving up on it not long after it copied HxH's nen test.)

What ever happened to his cheer squad anyway?

I unironically shipped Ryo and Seiji.

Kid Goku. I miss him. Didn't even try to watch DBZ until I watched DB at least 3 or 4 times.

Squirtle Gang sold them into slavery.

A lot of these shows were what made me scared of anime as a child.

Goku/Seiya/Tsubasa/Kenshiro

Who is green reddit nigger?

One of these things is not like the other...
what sorta spells did you make uo?

Based friend with great taste.

How come we have bnha in here ?

It don't matter, they are all failures.

For me it was Goku -> Ash -> Yugi -> Naruto from elementary school to high school. Dragon Ball was the main one though.

Yugi, ash and dbz goku

Watched Pokemon until gen 3 then switched to Zatch Bell

Grew up on Pokemon and Yugioh, the Zatch Bell anime is an actual pile of shit but I enjoy the campy shitty dub dialogue it had

Zatch Bell's manga is leagues better than its anime counterpart, I enjoyed having it be storytime'd on Yea Forums

God bless my elementary school library.

Original Toonami aired that during their last few years, yes?
