CGDCT thread
I've found that as I've grown up and become a functioning member of society I've come to enjoy CGDCT much more than before. It's nice to watch an episode or two in the evening after a day of work, whereas I'd just have found it boring as a teenager.

You hardly if ever find most of those in hentai manga though.
True but the difference is that these things are actually common place in shounen.
Yeah, but hardly if ever get any of these in them.

Retard
Think first before posting, shit stain.
This one is still possible

Are you really this dense? Most of the things you listed are found in "good" stories of any kind, across any genre, and in any medium. The exact same list can be used to describe any genre of manga, anime, VNs, LNs, shitty Romance novels, blockbuster Hollywood movies, comic books, childrens' pop-up books, Cantonese cave paintings, and my diary, desu. Everything you have said boils down to "I like shounen manga," which makes you a massive pleb and probably underage. That's what "shounen" manga means, by the way - that it's targeted at males younger than 18 years old. Reminder to lurk 2 years or more before posting.
