why is it that every shonen has to be full of power creep chars? why are japs incapable of making a decent shonen without chars traveling in light speed punching and kicking africa sized holes and other dumb shit? it's illogical, creates plotholes and is ridiculous and makes me question if the japs are overcompansating over something. do they think a shonen with grounded character strenghts is boring compared to someone who can kill a planet by just sneezing at it?
Why is shonen such a garbage genre?
>STOP LIKING WHAT I DONT LIKE
>2019
>still putting one piece in the same tier as those other series
not an argument
>i'm just gonna punch that 1000 feet large fish cause i'm hungry xDDD
>Shōnen, shonen, or shounen manga (少年漫画 shōnen manga) is manga aimed at a young teen male target-demographic. The age group varies with individual readers and different magazines, but it is primarily intended for boys between the ages of 12 to 18
This is why.
Why is Natsu there?
>xDDD
Perhaps you should fuck off to wherever you came from
It's not made with you in mind but 14-15 year old, japanese, high school boys.
Shounen is not a genre.
Read more shonen that aren't battle focused
>genre
You need to go back
Thx god shonen got superior mangas like hxh and the bad boy in the pic.
It isn't, you're just a sperg
>shonen
>genre
kys
So Naruto has a harem of anime boys as well?!
>genre
I miss when newfags were banned for outting themselves
being autistic over labels. dilate.
>shounen
>genre
every God damn time
at least write battle shounen you dumb asshole
>WAAAH, WHY DOESN'T THIS GENRE PANDER TO ME!!!
Because you are autistic, that's why.
>not an argument
>xDDD
go back
>One Piece doesn't suffer from autistic power creep
>still holding Wan Piss on a pedestal
lol
Shonen isn't a genre but outside of that shonen is aimed at like 8-14 year old boys and power fantasies like that with superpowers appeal a lot to that age group. Not all shonen are like that since shonen is a demographic and not a genre but the most popular shonen series are battle shonen, which is what you're talking about.
If you don't like it go find some shonen that aren't battle shonen or, since I imagine you're not 14 years old, you could go read seinen/josei manga, which I'd imagine are much more varied (seinen at least). Hell, shojo manga might appeal to you since while it's also aimed at younger people it will have its own things that are common that will be new to you.
Weekly shonen is shit and WSJ tries way too hard to pander to literal children
>continues to read shit like berserk
edgy doesn't mean it's not shonen.
>genre
Kinnikuman does this well, I feel. The power creep is either very small or not noticeable.
Because you keep reading garbage instead of HxH.
>hunter
Isn't garbage?
I disagree with this since Kinnikuman basically invented power levels and upped them by a factor of 10 at the start of each arc, but I still like it.
What's to say about a medium whose success is measured mainly by sales instead of artistic merit?
The japanese already have a problem with creativity, the manga industry wanting to play safe increases it tenfold. Of course we'll get the same lame tropes over and over again, the same revamped retard glutton but loyal MC time after time.
The power levels are literally meaningless though. Like they genuinely mean nothing. Kinnikuman and Robin Mask are able to take out guys with God-given 100,000,000 power levels.
Same as American comic right?
American comics are generally worst, yes. What hurts in manga is the wasted potential.
This.
>The power levels are literally meaningless though
This usually bothers me a lot, but I cut it a lot of slack since started off as a gag manga and tends to be consistently silly. So it only bothers me a little.
user, there's literally a reason in-universe as to why high power levels are meaningless.
Friendship power shits all over it, and higher power levels doesn't make you a more skilled fighter, just stronger.
So does it go Friendship Power > Skill > Power Level? That's sure what it felt like.
Yes. Friendship Power is an actual power in-universe.
The latest arc is all about the villains exploiting it to its full potential to exact revenge on the Perfect Origin and Gods.
>spoiler
I need to see this. I'll get there eventually.
The new arc is very good, I think you'll like it.
Not mob psycho
>do they think a shonen with grounded character strenghts is boring compared to someone who can kill a planet by just sneezing at it
Look at the number of people who read World Trigger compared to all the other battle shonen out there and you'll have your answer
Shonen needs more female MC's like what the 80s and 90s did. SJ weekly and Sunday had plethora of female MC's that made the shonen sold well.
toc when
cuz garbage people like you talk about it
>play video game
>dude why don't the level 80 end game monsters come to the hero's village and one shot him while he's still level 1
There is literally nothing wrong with power creep, it's a valid form of progression.
>what is: Jojo's Bizarre Adventure
are you retarded shounen is more popular now then in the 90's dipshit
>traveling in light speed punching and kicking africa sized holes and other dumb shit
Sounds pretty rad to me
>play oblivion
>get stronger
>enemies get even more stronger
>game is garbage
go back to the cuckshed redditor
>traveling in light speed
Actually watch jojo though. It’s one of the few shounen battle series that doesn’t suffer from power creep despite how long it’s been running.
One piece is like the most reddit show of all time.
For the same reason that cape comics are garbage
Oh I thought that's MHA or AoT.
Jojo definitely has absurd power scales, it just doesn't introduce them in a way that feels like power creep
When a Joestar isn't the underdog it means something bad is about to happen to make them the underdog
>why is shonen such a garbage genre
>doesn't even picture goku
found the biased spic/nigger ect...
Demographics aren't genres.
Shonen is the only "genre" worth watching.
SOL crowd is literally the cancer of anime. I mean just fuck off.
They're pussies in real life too. Afraid to fight or too scared of "violence".
> B-but we're civilized, I'd rather watch 10y old girls in school. Its so cute.
Just die.
We’re talking about garbage shonen like the entry level garbage kind with ugly characters and no waifus that’s discussed on Yea Forums like BNHA and One Piece not the other 99% of shonen that any other reasonable person watches or reads user.
Oh, my bad.
I really don't get you people. I'm 22 years old and never had one problem with shounen. You make the problems yourself by trying to get realism into it. It's a fucking manga, a picture. It's INK ON PAPER. Doesn't matter how unrealistic it is as long it flows with the story I don't care even when deku got 7 quirks. Either Hori manages it properly or not. But I don't go all out on how "unrealistic" the powercreep gotten cause I simply don't care.
It's for children kiddo so grow up you manchild
Im pretty sure waifus are discussed in Mha.
They’re all ugly with like half western-inspired artstyles so I honestly don’t see how or if I can even consider them waifus
yeah it is truly the lowest tier of shonen
Not the same, because in a game you control the protag so the you are the one facing the challenge not the protag. In a non-interactive story powercreep puts you off the suspention of disbelief. You simply stop thinking that the new villains are a threat anymore.
New shonen,yeah. Some mid-old shonen have pretty good traditional waifu.
count how many shonen and sol do you see on pic related.
These two aren't the only anime in existence
You words may hold true for Brotherhood, but the original FMA is shounen for adults. Thus your arguement is invalid.
I thought fairy tail was a comedy manga not a shonen what the fuck
your wrong
