shounen is an anime genre that usually includes lots of action and are typically aimed towards young boys, i.e. naruto, one piece, fairy tail etc.
just in case you didn't know



no
it's a demographic, not a genre

that's like saying kids shows are a genre

demographics CAN fall under 'genre' though

if you treat kids shows like its own category (i.e. saying stuff like "those are kids shows, i only watch real shows"),
then it automatically becomes a classification aka category aka genre

shonen is not a genre. period.

A shonen comedy is not the same thing as a shonen battle manga

I've gotta start watching Fairy Tale. Is it good?


I like it. It is a generic shonen. I happen to really enjoy these types of series. It's by no means 'exactly the same' as other popular shonens. It's actually worse, but it's still good and worth a watch if you're a fan of shonen battle anime/manga series. It has a lot more fan service, so if you're into that. Now wouldn't be a bad time to start it, the anime is returning from a decently long hiatus in April. I'm excited :3

Just saying you could spend your time watching anime that actually has depth before watching shallow and recycled material. Trust me I was the same as you

anime is anime. It's not like watching it is ever productive. I watch it for the same reason you watch your anime. I enjoy it.

Also I watch all different types of anime, not just shonen.

People need to form their own 'anime road' and see what they like and what they not. Even with the 'right genre', watching anime is still watching anime. aka loosing time. Sorry if some of you guys get offended by this statement, yo

That's the thing though, the 'right genre' is different for everyone. Or in other words, there is no right genre.
