Hunter x Hunter is too intellectual to be considered shounen.

opm isn't shonen

If you still enjoy anime at all after age seventeen you have lost at life. Most people have witnessed at least twelve masterpieces by their 14th year, to give you a sense of where you should be at right now.

HxHfags, everyone.

It really isn't.

>give you a sense of where you should be at right now.
As in, not listening to this user's dumb ass is a glood place to be at in your life.

>Caring about people opinions.

I don't get how people can watch shounen, it's always the same shitty cliches written into the same shitty plot structure. The only thing shounen has going for it is that the animation is good most of the time.

why are they all manlets?

I have seen some 40 something year old guys reading HNK in Japan a few years ago

irl or on Sup Forums?

on Sup Forums, 15

irl never

What the fuck is up with this meme still being around?

It's starting to trigger me man

You should just enjoy whatever the hell you want to enjoy.

manlet detected

Oh man is this a buzzword battle?

cuck detected

None. And OPM is seinen.
Fuck off retard.

OPM is a seinen comedy, not shonen

I guess a bunch of retards took the parody elements as straight

Ichigo isn't a manlet.

>replying to blatant shitposts
Enjoying your first week on here?

Who fucking cares? It all depends on the series anyways. No one is going to fault you for liking Slam Dunk.

What's the problem OP, you want to know if you're still allowed to enjoy Nurutu now that you're 16?
Just do whatever you want, you're not really supposed to care about what the "anime community" thinks.

Gon is like 10, he's probably not even 5 feet tall

Actually that makes the entire picture retarded

Daily reminder that JoJo is a shonen. And that Viz, which is owned by shueisha, classifies One Punch Man as a shonen.

This. The anime "community" is made up of a bunch of edgy teenagers who don't have any friends and autistic 20-somethings who never learned social skills. What they think is absolutely irrelevant.

>Daily reminder that JoJo is a shonen.
Starting from SBR it's not a shonen
Gon is 13 now.

probably. I know normie tier people who are 20+ and watch anime but I doubt that they talk about it online like I do.

The picture is already retarded, probably came from facebook or some shit

>Do I fit in yet?
No, you don't. Fuck off.

Like what you like.

Just don't be a cunt about it.

From the age where you can beginning to read to 18

>implying chaika with cowboys isn't shounen

Too bad everyone else on Sup Forums is a fucking cunt

>calling you out on being easily baited = trying to fit in
Is the butthurt clouding your judgement or are you honestly this new?

Shut up, you fucking cunt.

I have been on Sup Forums since 2011.

Naruto isn't supposed to be a manlet.

There is no age limit, read and watch whatever you want.

Viz is just the western publisher, has nothing to do with the actual classification.

You retardation is annoying me.

No,you shut up,stupid fucking cunt

You first, cunt. Shut up and then I'll follow your example.

Hunter x Hunter is enjoyable if you enjoy pain

He's a big guy.

Shonen animes have very different maturities

Hunter x Hunter could be viewed at any age

Ok.I love you,user.

no, but they market it as shonen because shonenshitters enjoy it.

I mean - like what you like. There's nothing wrong with enjoying shounen, especially if you've been following a series for years.


Just don't be the kind of cunt in the TeeFury shirt with Naruto sat on the Iron Throne or something.

If you enjoy waiting extended periods of time for not a lot of pay off. then HxH is the anime for you.
Why won't togashi just give me what i need?

And?

I don't think I'll ever understand this obsession with this "debate", if it's in a shounen publication it's shounen, otherwise it's not. It's literally objective and takes zero thought. It's like arguing over whether something is black or white.

I love you too

OPM is both seinen and shounen like jojo.

The reason people like calling it a shonen is because only shonen faggots like it.

Hunter x Hunter is the only shonen acceptable for adults to read.

Help me understand your logic on this. It is published in Young Jump, a seinen publication. This is the only publication the manga has ever been published by in Japan. How is it anything at all other than seinen?

>not enjoying shonen at any age
Get a load of this faggot.

As old as grumpy Jii-san was when he died.

Holy fuck I forgot about him

This actually kind of ruins my afternoon

watamote is shonen sometime like watamote you have be in your 20th or older to enjoy watamote.

>I guess a bunch of retards took the parody elements as straight

It has both dramatic and comedic moments. You can tell whether the series is being serious or parodical because the tone of a scene changes accordingly. The humor also frequently involves abrupt shifts between tone. Don't know how the series could be interpreted in any other way.

>not realizing that them taking the bait was bait in itself which you handily bit into.

...

None, because there is no age limit. you should stop worrying about what other people think of you.

It's regularly published in shounen magazines too, like shounen jump.

That's what he's saying, why are grown-ass men the same height as a little boy.

And Goku is something like 5'5"

Aria is shounen
Amanchu is shounen
GTO is shounen
Yotsuba& is shounen
Lucky Star is shounen
Go fuck yourself, OP.

>2011

wow, you're so old.

one defining factor in enjoying shonen is whether or not it's good

The anime is solid for a conclusion. Just gonna have to wait another decade for the next adaptation.

I saw some list of most popular manga for people over 30 or 40 years old in Japan a couple of years ago. One Piece and HxH were the top 2. So the answer is: there is no age limit.

>it's always the same shitty cliches written into the same shitty plot structure.
Like most anime?
I mean I like ami,e too, but lets be honest how many isekai/battle harems/ cute girl doing cute girls/ romcom series are there now?
I am not denying that most shonen has the same cliches, but the same goes for most anime of any genre.
Just watch whatever the fuck you like, who cares what other people think.
Thinking that you are superior or looking down on people that watch a certain kind of anime is just pretentious and retarded.

You should enjoy those cliches you loser they're a part of the entertainment.

I dunno, man, I'm not really into Digimon.

when the fuck did this happen

Age doesn't even matter once you committed social suicide to become anime fag

What the fuck is this?

For you

Yeah but Jap and the west aren't the same culture. What's acceptable there isn't in here.

Naruto and Sauce grow up to be 6'4" alpha males.

Once you get into anime nothing has an age limit to enjoy.

You mean battle shounen, and that's around 17, there are a few exceptions but for the most part past 17 years of age you're man child if you insist on reading most of them.

and those exceptions are?

The ones that you read, I assume.

And no it isn't just battle shonen but shonen in general that people should stop reading at 18.

As long as you can hold a job, pay the bills, support yourself(and another person if you want to use this as a metric), and it isn't hurting you then there is no age limit. But if you're a 30 year old whose still living with their mom and you only have like 20 bucks to your name then its time to make some changes.

Nah not just the ones I read but there are a few, for example Boku no Hero academia isn't one, I read it but it's not exactly out of the pile of shit that is Battle Shounen. Some exceptions would be HxH, Houshin Engi, Hokuto no Ken perhaps, I don't read a whole lot of battle shounen to really know a whole lot of examples.

>And no it isn't just battle shonen
Nah man you're wrong, like said, no ones if gonna give you shit for liking Slam Dunk. And if you do you're just being either stubborn or haven't read it.

Is that from boruto series?
