Thoughts on Shonen Anime

I do not think there is any genre that I changed my mind on.

It is more of an individual anime that does not appeal to me for one or another reason.

Say Shonen original big three are Naruto, Bleach and One Piece all have their own differences that make me say like Naruto more over One Piece. 

Naruto has better characters with more psychological depth. I can relate to Nagato a lot, he is one of the main characters with a lot of back story that is very relatable. I can relate partly relate to Sasuke, Itachi, Garra and Shikamaru as well. In contract in OP there are few relatable characters. Closest to me is probably Mihawk or Sabo how he was during the flashback ark. We hardly ever see Mhawk in the show.

Action mechanics are also better in Naruto. Ninjitsu has some logic in them: it is made up but does feels like battles are won by skill, cunning and better use of the mechanics rather than by just guts alone. Guts feel too arbitrary, just author decided that way that is why MC won. In Naruto Kishimoto does a good job to make it look like it is because winner is better at nunjitsu. You can believe you will win too if you ninjitsu like Madara.

So they all are not made equal.

I think Fairly Tail, FMAB, SNK, MHA, Boruto and Demon Slayer could be counted as modern shounen. I too do not like them for different individual reasons.

Then on the other hand shounen is for younger demographics that I am currently in so may be I grew up out if it. Only nostalgia keeps me attached to Naruto, UFO Robo Grendizer and Speed Racer. However I would still re-watch these from time to time. I do not think they are bad or no longer for me.
