You know which ones I've seen that I base my opinions on. It's the same shit as every other super hero show. Against all odds the super hero wins at the very end.
My favorite thing about Netflix shows are finding out who else I know likes the same ones. Like we just finished Atypical and I fucking loved it and a couple people I know said it was meh. And I love the Ranch and I haven't met anyone else that enjoys it much.
Well shit, I get that then. If you've only watched shonen, it's understandable you'd feel that way. You're limiting yourself in that regard though, it'd be like only watching reality TV and then saying all American made television sucks. It took me awhile before I liked Shonen, DBZ being the exception (only cause I watched it as a kid, DBZ is objectively not a good show, but I love it anyways). Shonen in general isn't good television lol. It's all the same shit. Let me explain my attacks as I'm doing them. Oh, you were holding back your power, I WAS HOLDING BACK MORE POWER. So on and so forth. They're ass, but I still like some of them for the mindless entertainment they provide. I wouldn't call any of them besides HxH and FMAB good shows though, and that's because the writing, character development and everything else was just done well for those two and they don't talk down to their audiences like your typical suppppper popular action shows (Bleach, Naruto, One Piece, Fairytale, DBZ etc..).
If you want to give it a shot, send me a pm and I'll type up a list of shows that don't fall into that one super popular category. Shonen isn't for everyone and it legitimately kills the genre for some people when it's the first thing they try to watch. Not only is a lot of it just mind-numbingly dull, but the shows are fucking ridiculously long. One Piece, the worst of the bunch, is over 800 fucking episodes now.
e: To bring it full circle though, what makes OPM sooooo fucking great, is that all it's doing is making fun of the shonen category and it does it in such a glorious fashion. If you've watched enough of them to know what they're all about, you might want to give OPM a chance, the animation is ridiculously cool on it.
