1. HxH - takes the most risks. The series explores the action, fantasy genre in many ways.. Most arcs have a new setting, new rules, new characters and this requires a lot of planning on Togashi's part, while other series typically stick to one. Series often went in ways the audience didn't expect and loves to go against common tropes in shonen. Came up w/the most complex battle system & incorporated the most themes outside battle like politics, thriller, video game, etc.
2. FMAB - took less risks than HxH but managed to be consistently good. Although the antagonists follow the common tropes, the story still has great writing and well-developed-characters.
3. Dragonball - became predictable & formulaic but you can't deny the influence it has on shonen that came after it.

1. slam dunk
2. rokudenashi blues
3. wan pisu or angel densetsu
dragon ball being influential doesn't make it good.
Kys HxH has exactly one good arc and a piece of shit like dragon ball isn't less shit just because other hacks copied it.
fistship >>>>>>> friendship
This guy knows.
>I'll say bad about everything listed but fma how dare anyone have opposite opinions about muh adult swim show i watched as a 10 year old??
>became predictable & formulaic
in Super maybe, but the only reason that DB or Z would seem like they are is just because you've already gone through them once or know enough about them simply because of how popular they are
You don't seem to understand what an ad hominem is buddy
1. Slam Dunk
2. Yuu Yuu Hakusho
3. Jujutsu Kaisen
FMAfags don't seem to understand what's a good anime.
>a good manga about mistery and an unknow power that few manage to master. It's users seem to be the unknow force behind the politics and crime organization of it's world.
>then it suddenly is an rpg with unending chapters dedicated to a boring mother fucker that could not stop talking about how his bomb power worked
>heavy hiatus
>main previous arcs antagonist forms a party with you (?) and is a creepy pedo (!)
>another hiatus
>then literal 'your princess (dad) is in another castle end' 'lol it's just a game'
>more hiatus.
>then suddenly cell(ants) saga with DBZ lite power levels. Wall text it's manga.
Yorknew > Hunter Exam > Greed Island = Ant
Nice retort, you must be the absolute boss on the playground
How much did you donate to dick mignogna's jobbing court case today? ;)
>Greed Island is as good as Chimera Ant.
Nigger are you out of your mind?
Nice read ESL retard, you wrote an entire wall of text just to say nothing, I laughed.
>B-BUT MIGNONA!!!1!
Make arguments about the show/manga itself or fuck off back to twitter.
>;)
What is this? Are we being invaded by reddit again?
>requires a lot of planning on Togashi's part
It's easy to do that when you're able to pump out 5 chapters a year.
>dick mignogna
oh shit it's the same schizo that thinks every FMAfag is a dubfag. you can notice his posts from a mile away.
Shit dude, now you showed him. He'll probably have night terrors after this verbal beating.
The irony is most of them haven't even read or watched YYH, which is one of the most significant manga in the history of Shonen Jump
Quick rundown for those unfamiliar with YYH, Jump was on the verge of going under at the time YYH was published. They were losing readers and their popular series were failing. YYH strongly revitalized sales for Jump, and stabilized the company for quite awhile. I sincerely believe that this is the reason Togashi's managers have put up with his bullshit for decades, he basically saved their company.
Also, whether it's a good thing or not, YYH pretty much nailed the Tournament Arc gimmic which became another popular common trope in subsequent shonen manga.
YYH is one of the most significant series Jump has published and it doesn't even get acknowledged today.
>But you can't deny the influence it has on shonen that came after it.
I'm so done with that shit. I hate when they justify mediocre shit just because "hurr durr influence". It's literally just a pretentious way of saying "It's popular so it's good".
>He uses ESL as an insult
Lel what a faggot.
Choke on my fat cholo balls while i rest my uncut dick over your forehead cracka.
>wan pisu or
Wait, people like that trash unironically? How? Had to drop it midway through Dressrosa, the classic case where character bloat ruins a series.
Reminder that pic related is Zig Forums's only accepted battle shounen.
If you like One Piece, Naruto, Dragon Ball, HxH etc. you're probably a spic or a nigger who belongs in .
Please stay there.
>the group that was rescanning/translating slam dunk with HQ raws stopped at volume 2
Fuck that sucks
>Drops it 750 chapters in
>D-do people actually like this?
>people unironically like the most successfull anime in history?!! HOW?!
Shit dude I don't know? With the majority going against your opinion, have you EVER imagined that you might just have shit taste?
>Mediocre parody shit.
You're not special.
This.
>Zig Forums's only accepted battle shounen is the painfully mediocre muh subversion nisio manga where the saving grace is le epic guy who breaks the 4th wall
did you watch instead of reading?
you're going to pick it back up anyways lol
Very true.
Isn't Ashita no Joe technically a shounen same for Phoenix? Or are we only doing battle shounen cause if those two count then I'd definitely place them over those three.
>YYH pretty much nailed the Tournament Arc gimmic which became another popular common trope in subsequent shonen manga.
Kinnikuman did it first.
>I-ITS POPULAR SO ITS GOOD!!!!!
it's objectively worse than any of the things you mentioned, not much more unique either. As far as shounen parody's go there are far superior examples. If this is Zig Forums's choice then this board has shit taste.
>doesn't even get acknowledged today
it's one of the few old anime normalfags will watch next to evangelion and bebop. actually i find the circlejerk around it obnoxious since it falls apart after the dark tournament.
