Dragonball still better than anything new coming out
New animes are shit..

One piece, dragonball, bleach, naruto, fairy tail, hunter x hunter
Nothing can even compare


The only part where you're somewhat right.

lolez



i understand you're into the "gritty" and rurouni kenshin gritty is not.
i've always liked shows about people practicing technique and growing stronger. it's a common theme in long term shounens. i find it engrossing, and i think a lot of others feel the same

anyway i just dont think watching the ova first is a good idea, give the show an open minded chance and if you like it the ova is going to be that much better when you finally see it.
if you watch it first then you will be introduced to a completely different kenshin and you'll just always pine for the violent blood splatter you've already seen, but it's not coming.



Yeah, if you're into the whole shonen thing, the show is prolly pretty good.
I dunno, the older I get the more I move away from anything even remotely shonen.
Makes sense probably.

I really dont know if i'll ever really get away from shounens entirely. i feel like if i was gonna grow out of it i would have by now.
That said, the only shounens i'm watching anymore are the ones like hunter hunter or durarara that i have a long standing vested interest in.
I havent seen any sort of new great shounens come out in a long time though. Seems like nothing that comes out can hit 50 episodes anymore much less 200.
