## Transcript

shown him the type of anime that
probably brought the most people into
this Rabbit Hole so much so that a lot
of people clueless about anime might
think that that's all the medium offers
while that's a big mistake on their part
I do think that even if we were to look
at just Anime for the shown in
demographic you'll find a whole spectrum
of genres and themes to like there's
just so much the world of Shonen has to
offer and my job for today's video is to
share what I think are 30 of the best
ones the current century has given us
just keep in mind I'm not going to be
including any romance anime in this
since I plan to make a whole different
video for
that number 30 is World
trigger World trigger may seem to be a
curious way to open our list of tops
shown in anime well it feels great to
feature some underrated goodies once in
a while once World trigger got that
makes it special I'd say it's the
battles and the World building trigger
takes place in a very interesting
setting with a lot of things to make you
eager to know more pair that with an
interesting set of characters and
battles which emphasize strategy instead
of the usual PowerUp spamming you see in
Shonen and you have yourself a unique
experience in Shonen parts of the
anime's first season are admittedly
quite slow to get through which I feel
contributed to its lack of popularity
along with the same season taking up
over 70 episodes it's not hard for me to
see why its current status is as an
underrated gem stick with World trigger
though and the reward makes the journey
worth it
next up at 29 is spy
family if you thought that Shonen was
all about the action and all the laughs
then you'd be sorely mistaken not that
those elements are absent in one of the
latest big kits the industry has given
us but spy family adds a really
wholesome familiar touch to the whole
thing a story story about a badass
pretend family filled with Secrets has
the ingredients for an over-the-top
comedy but there's this heartwarming
feeling of home that it emphasizes over
a lot of its shown and peers I think
that that's the extra touch that makes
this show stand out in a world where
everyone's very intent on giving a
spectacle in the form of animation and
fights in a world where you get more
action the louder and more outrageous
you are there's something attractive in
an anime that's supposed to be so crazy
yeah comforting
28 on the list is Black
Clover speaking of loud and proud that's
the immediate first impression anyone
would get of Black Clover I got to be
honest ARA as a main character is pretty
annoying early on and I wouldn't blame
anyone who got dissuaded from continuing
because of him fast forward a few more
acts however and I'd say that I didn't
regret sticking with Black Clover not
one bit sure the anime as a Shonen isn't
anything too special if you've seen a
lot of long running battle series but it
still got some pretty hype fights down
the line and a whole lot of badass
moments Black Clover may not seem too
impressive in hindsight now that we've
been exposed to more anime that pushed
the limits in terms of fight animation
and height battles but back in the
mid-2010s seeing the return of the long
running battle shown in was pretty
cool if you prefer the spicier side of
show however you can give food Wars a
shot ah a name that I haven't heard in a
while food Wars doesn't exactly have the
most Stellar reputation in 2024 but at
this point in time it's a legitimately
compelling anime cooking anime isn't as
common but add some major ingredients
like engaging characters tense arcs and
cooking battles and of course the fan
service it's always been known for and
you've got one of the hot upand
cominging showen in the 2010s food Wars
had a thing going for it and it
understandably burst into the scene
quite early on some arks that give the
heart pumping shown and feel along with
a dash of rather heavy fan service and
characters that you can't help but root
for serve as an epic recipe to make this
a good choice to pick up do take note of
the warnings with the sexual content
though first spawns anime Finds Its way
to number 26 on the list hajim may know
IO
IO has pretty much been the poster chard
for boxing anime there's not a lot of
boxing anime in the first place and IO
has easily established a legacy for
itself building primarily upon high
stakes matches and character moments
that more than embody what people love
about Combat Sports too much the drama
the story lines behind each match and
the sequences that unfold in every
Showdown now that's what makes these
animes so fun to watch and follow that's
not to say that none of the other anime
related to boxing or Combat Sports Falls
Way short in those elements relative to
IO still credit where credit's due IO
has endured for this long and captured
so many hearts and it more than deserves
it let's take a look back at some
Classics for number 25
Doro Doro is a triumphant example of a
remake done right it's captured the Dark
Fantasy aspects and the underdog story
elements that made the original so
special and given them the touchup that
it oh so deserves we're talking about
some big moments recreated with modern
production values and a non-nonsense
approach to adapting a story dororo is
an anime that doesn't have a lot of lull
in its two core run despite being a
rather character Centric work as a story
it's a pretty simple one that holds
itself spectacularly well thanks to the
great art unique Aesthetics and great
progression if you want to see a remake
that has in lots of ways outdone the
dated original dororo might be a
jam how about throwing an unexpect Ed
title on the list for number 24 mariati
the
Patriot now here's a show I didn't
really hear anyone talk about even back
when it was airing moranti the Patriot
comfortably sat in its Niche territory
understandable given what was in the
chart that season little did people know
that a season headlined by jiujitsu
Kaizen and Hau season was this under
ated gem that looks to introduce anime
fans to Sherlock Holmes while shedding
new light on the literary classic it's a
quite edgy and thrilling game of cat and
mouse with fans having compared it to
death note at times now if you're a fan
of Sherlock Holmes this anime is a
must-watch otherwise feel free to still
give it a shot especially if you have a
thing for Crime fiction stories the
battles of wits will keep your eyes
glued to the screen for over 20 episodes
of good
stuff L's Paradise is in at number 23
[Music]
hell's Paradise is a show that I had
high expectations for going into its
season I thought that it had what it
takes to be a breakout hit it's got a
dark atmosphere the intense Shonen fight
sequences and a group of characters who
shine in their ways it didn't quite
become the mainstream hit that I thought
it would be but it did give us a pretty
damn good action adventure title the
anime looking beautiful is one way I can
describe it and it really depicted what
you'd want from a perilous Adventure in
an island of Terror so to speak looking
back I think that hell's Paradise is a
victim of overly high expectations after
all everyone's super high on mappa after
their work with jiu-jitsu Kaizen
chainsaw man and Attack on Titan but
don't let that discourage you hell's
Paradise is still one hell of a Thrill
Ride at number 22 is my hero Academia
for the better part of the late 2010s my
hero Academia served as the face of
mainstream shown in it had everything
you'd expect in one from an action show
for impressionable youth with an overall
uplifting tone and a colorful cast of
characters it differentiates itself from
a number of its contemporaries that have
started veering towards cynicism coming
out right when superhero fever was
heading to its climax was also a nice
move and throughout multiple Seasons my
hero Academia has sent its fans through
a whole roller coaster of emotions my
hero Academia feels like like one of the
most basic Shonen in the modern era on
the flip side though it's got a lot of
content in the form of anime seasons and
movies plus a long run in the
foreseeable future and it's pretty easy
to get into a really good choice for a
beginner
[Music]
Shonen right next at number 21 we take a
look at Blue
lock w
[Music]
[Applause]
and just like that we have a sport
hellbent on subverting all the trends
we've come to associate with Shonen out
with the power of friendship thing as
blue lock is all about one message
humans can be selfish in their goals and
at times they have to unleash the
darkness within them and their road to
be the very best now that might seem
like a dramatic and hamfisted way of
selling the theme but that's precisely
the premise that sets blue lock apart
from the typical Sports Anime and it
does make for a very interesting look to
get people to watch watch this overall
blue lock is interesting in the ways it
showcases its characters I really like
how the anime entwines character
development with some of the more
grounded aspects of sports psychology
especially the parts we don't tend to
shine the spotlight
on how about a thrilling mystery to
shake things up a bit promis Neverland
is number 20
[Music]
and quite fittingly we escalate further
into the dark and Bleak side of Shonen
with promised nland the year 2019 was
off to a good start thanks to this show
which quickly exploded into the main
stream something that you don't often
see for horror and psychological anime
promise Neverland wasted no time
captivating people with its Mastery of
unorthodox horror it's something that
many have praised after all it used
atmosphere to keep people on the edge of
their seats no need for cheap jump
scares overly violent scenes or super
scary monsters when the Ambient sound
and Camera framing are enough to get you
on the edge of your seat along with a
mystery and characters you can't help
but root for promis Neverland is the
complete package for a rather Niche
genre of
shm 2019 however truly belonged to Demon
Slayer a number 19th entry
did anyone see this one coming when
Demon Slayer started airing in April of
2019 I didn't really think too much of
it I knew it would be a really fun watch
but I didn't expect it to take over the
anime world like it did the moment that
episode aired then it became the Talk of
the Town and easily broke through the
so-called Normie barrier Suddenly It's
everyone's favorite anime in the anime
of the decade I think that's partly
warranted however because what Demon
Slayer seeks to provide it does with so
much competence it gives us a story
that's simple to follow but very
engaging and it doesn't overstate its
welcome with the entire anime adaptation
gearing towards the finale in the
present the visuals and the fight scenes
are where it's at however and those are
simply Paradigm changing demon slay
helped usher in a new era of spectical
spearheaded by Insane effects and
animation and I got to tip my hat off to
that 18th may come as a surprise to you
it's Astra in
space space survival drama may not be
the genre that people think of when
mentioning shown in anime but I'd like
to introduce you to this underrated 2019
show what Astro Lost in Space does so
well is how it draws out the emotions
and feelings that you'd associate with
the story about drifting from planet to
planet in space you'd get to know these
main characters well and relate to them
as they battle through harsh conditions
in their bit to get home the visuals are
likewise pretty good and if you're a
gamer and fond of sci-fi survival games
with a focus on adventure and
exploration you'll feel right at home
with this
anime what isn't Nisha underrated is our
17th anime on the list chainsaw
man in a lot of ways chainsaw man
epitomizes what I think is the general
vibe that the public respon to these
days with action anime a dark theme
that's not afraid to show the rather
deranged side of humanity plus you got
the Violet and high octane fights
depicted in all of its uncensored Glory
chainsaw man is a show that's not afraid
to show the Carnage and the degeneracy
in his full bore and throw those things
aside some undeniably amazing visuals to
have one of the biggest hits in recent
memory on one hand chainsaw man's hard
leaning towards being R-rated and the
more uncomfortable aspects for those not
well-versed in the fandom means that it
will never be as mainstream as things
like Demon Slayer but on the other hand
it does give a very specific Niche that
it can call its
own we close in on the halfway mark now
with guro no
basket a fun game I had a decade ago was
asking anime fans for an example of
basketball anime the answer whether it
be slam Dango guro will easily give away
their age on a related note it just
shows how much of a landmark guro has
been in the World of Sports Anime in the
2010s three seasons multiple movies and
Side Stories along with another show
that we'll be featuring soon it served
as the face of Sports Anime in its era
guro is all about the flashiness the
Epic anime logic scenes depicted in the
basketball games does this make for a
realistic show not really but that's not
exactly the point when its main goal is
to Dazzle fans and get them in awe all
the while providing some ample character
drama that helps push its already
charismatic and lovable group of
characters it's an entertaining watch
whether you like basketball or not the
games are nothing short of thrilling if
you can place your expectations
right and that's the halfway point of
our video you liking this video so far
then go hit that like button help the
video do well on YouTube we still have a
pretty long way to go so make sure to
sit tight and enjoy the rest of the ride
number 15 we have hi
you and here's the other face of Sports
Anime in the 2010s if basketball isn't
your thing maybe volleyball is and
that's what hued here for in a lot of
ways the two were compared against each
other back in the day and for good
reason both are sport shows that aim to
provide some similar treats for our
Sports loving anime fans both have the
shown in Staples in terms of plot and
character growth where highq shines
though is in its plot with its taking
its time in showing the growth of our
characters and team it does make for a
much more immersive watch if you here
for the drama and the development as
opposed to the flashier and more
thrilling matches that guro provides
both Sports Anime are great can be
watched as compliments to each other
they offer similar things with a
slightly different Focus for anime fans
out there don't
silly we move on from the 2010s and into
the 2020s with this number 14 entry
summertime
render it's the year 2024 season anime
fans have experienced plenty of time
Loop Centric anime from Ste gate rezo
Moka Tokyo Revengers and the like all
employ the loop element in their ways
not sure how hot of a take this is but
summertime render for me did it the best
there was an unsettling air on the whole
thing from the get-go and fans just
can't help but work alongside the
characters in helping solve the secret
behind the murderers in impending
doomsday this kept people's minds
turning for the first half of the show
then I love how the anime did a genre
shift towards battle Shonen in the
middle for an exciting finish once the
Mysteries have been dealt with it's time
for the humans to fight back the battle
of wits Incorporated with time Loops as
the anime headed towards the home
stretch was truly a highlight for
me at Lucky 13 is
[Music]
margi for me in the 2010s margi
epitomizes what an adventure anime
should be I didn't know that this show
which started out being about exploring
Dungeons and looking for magic artifacts
would end up giving me one of the more
complete experiences I could ask for in
a show name it's got no shortage of
action and interesting Powers what sets
it apart from its contemporaries at the
time was how it emphasizes its worlds
its vast world really let the fans see a
varied spectrum of cultures and
philosophies and along with the
political aspects that are entwined with
the spiritual Adventure it was a great
anime that I'd readily recommend to
anyone at the time even in the present
Mari remains a good watch the story is
incomplete unfortunately with only
lasting two seasons and having read the
Manga however I'm glad that we got the
best parts of the series
[Music]
animated 12th on the list is Dr
Stone what's happening and if you liked
exploring the world aspect of margi
you'll be in for a treat with Dr Sto
incorporating science a little bit of
action and the Wonder exploring a whole
wide world for Discovery are the things
that epitomize Dr Stone in my opinion
there's always something new and
interesting for you to uncover in this
anime as it takes you through many
different Frontiers Dr Stone may not be
the most hype or have something so
noteworthy in terms of visuals one thing
I give it props for is its consistency
it keeps you interested while slowly
building up to both the end game of the
Ark and the overarching Mystery in his
story
so at number 11 is the king of comedy
himself Gintama
there's no beating Gintama in the realm
of anime comedy so much so that the
over- the toop comedy and parody has
overshadowed a lot of what makes Gintama
great which is its epic tale of ancient
Japan Gintama once you move past the
comedy has drama that really hits hard
especially once you get to understand
the main characters more and what
they've all been through it also has a
whole lot of epic moments that can put
some of it shown in contemporaries to
shame Gintama had a long run at top the
anime world and that's thanks to how it
masterfully integrates all of its
elements into the complete package
you've got the action the drama and
comedy and it all results in a winner
that's even more than the sum of its
parts JoJo kicks off our road to the top
[Music]
10 soon on the topic of comedy and
overthe toop anime I find it fitting for
Jojo to be the next in line when it
comes to Jojo and it story story run of
so many seasons and parts one thing
remains constant throughout it showcases
some insane creativity both in its
characters and the powers they have
there's nothing off limits with Jojo and
how Wild it is it's rif with references
but in a slightly different flavor than
how Gintama does it and it has no
restraint in just um how crazy the whole
thing is and just like Gintama
underneath all the fluff and craziness
Li a long and very gripping story that
spans Generations sticking with it will
be one of the best decisions you've ever
made
[Music]
bleach comes in at number
nine bleach will always have a place in
my heart for how it helped me push deep
into the anime fandom it had this kind
of cool stylish Edge that you just don't
see that often for Shonen shows back in
the 2000s Middle School me thought it
was the coolest thing ever due to being
a Shen that has more mature characters
an overall Vibe that's more serious and
an Outlook that's less on the nose with
optimism it took several years for me to
realize that there's so much to unpack
from Bleach once you look past the co
fights it's quite strong in terms of
themes and every major character has an
underlying philosophy behind the way his
or her story unfolds having none of that
in your face as much as the typical
Shonen Fair made me appreciate bleach
more As I Grew Older or maybe it's just
recenty biased due to how amazing of a
return Thousand-Year blood War has been
either the way bleacher spent the 2000s
rocking the anime world for for a reason
and you might love it if you're one of
the newer fans introduced to the medium
through Jiu-Jitsu Kaizen or Demon
Slayer free Ren doesn't look like a show
in anime at first glance but it is and
it's one of the best ones to come out in
the past year
if there's one thing that can be free
Ren's claim to fame it's how it pushes
you to hit that pause button on your
hectic daily life stop for a while sit
down and reflect on the journey you've
had so far it's when you can start
noticing the important things often lost
in the hustle and bustle of Our Lives or
salary men or students free Ren isn't
something that can provide screenshots
or clips of flashy effects that make
Twitter or should I say x go wild nor is
it something that makes you rush over to
your friends to talk about something so
hype what it provides is a very Nuance
take on the fantasy genre and for those
who prefer such stories then this anime
is a godsend add that to the god tier
production values in the anime
adaptation and it's super easy to see
why fre Ren quickly became the Talk of
the Town ever since it started airing
this kind of relaxed introspective
experience lets you reflect upon the
beauty of the world and how we live our
lives this isn't something you'll get
every
[Music]
day FMA Brotherhood is in seventh place
I find it interesting that when I
started out watching margi FMA
Brotherhood is one of the comparisons
I've been given in a lot of ways it's
true a lot of what I praise margi for
such as the vast world and emphasis on
various philosophies and worldviews all
apply to FMA Brotherhood but
everything's done a bit better in this
one and the show really goes all the way
with how it Dives deeply into its
characters their Dynamics with one
another and how their World Views clash
and support each other F fate
Brotherhood does feel like one of the
more mature Shonen out there with how it
handles its themes and how it's devoid
of fan service all while being grounded
or not trying to be too dark or reggy
it's one of the best choices to get you
started in the anime
World in sixth place we have One
[Music]
Piece One Piece has been around for over
two decades already with a run that long
you'd expect things to Peet off and just
start dragging out against all the odds
though the adventurers of the straw hats
remain so engaging to watch and that's a
testament to how great one piece is
specifically its world that allows for
infinite possibilities despite looking
like you've seen it all one piece
continues to surprise you with the
twists and turns it takes for each Arc
the really cool thing is that one piece
has likewise evolved with the times in
this era where anime fans are more
enthralled with the eye popping
animation from EO table shows and the
like one piece has likewise upped its
game in terms of depicting some of the
most most important fights in the recent
arcs one piece may not be something
you'd reasonably catch up on episode by
episode but getting yourself up to speed
by watching old highlights seems like a
good way to start your journey with this
one following that is Naruto at number
five there's no denying Naruto is the
anime of the 200 if we're talking
influence and Legacy it was a cultural
phenomenon much like Demon Slayer was as
we entered the current decade and I dare
say Naruto was even bigger in some
aspects a lot of that has to do with how
cool and novel the idea of Supernatural
battle anime was in those days add to
that a frankly endearing cast of
characters an Underdog Story That's
decently done and long Arc filled with
more and more intriguing enemies and
powers and you have this phenomenon that
swept through the globe in the 2000s to
be fair I think that a lot of Naruto has
aged well to this day the character
writing may be a bit hit or miss looking
back but when it comes to the awesome
moments the cool or dramatic ones that
will really leave a mark in your
memories Naruto always hits a home run
in
those and it's just fitting to have
jiujitsu Kaizen come in at number
four welcome to the present era in a lot
of ways it feels like jiu-jitsu kaen is
the culmination of over two decades
worth of Supernatural battle series
taking some of the awesome parts of each
and putting them together to create the
perfect product to take over the anime
World these days you do need to stand
out and it does so with astounding fight
scenes all while peppering the newer
generation of anime fans with some
awesome character work the relationship
between Yuji and sukuna is something
2000s kids would have seen before but
the way Jiu-Jitsu Kaa made it work still
makes it pretty fresh especially to the
newer more impressionable generation of
fans jiujitsu Kaizen has pretty much all
want out of a battle sh end involving
the supernatural it also helps that even
it can get messy at times and it still
doesn't have the level of graphic
violence that might tune people out nor
does it have the awkward fan service
that a lot of the boys anime from the
2000s to the 2010s are full of it truly
is an unexpected hit a perfect getaway
for those looking into Supernatural
battle anime but if all the fightings
tied you out number three has none of
that after all the Battle of brains
reign supreme in Death Note
when I first encountered Death Note in
the 2000s the whole thing felt
revolutionary the whole premise was easy
to grasp even for a young middle
schooler like me at the time I never
thought that anime could be a means of
such strong social commentary back then
but death note proved me wrong sure
there are aspects of the show that can
feel juvenile be fitting for its Target
demographic but its overall themes about
criminal justice and morality still hit
hard to this day a really credit Death
Note for leading me to enjoy other
pieces of media like the Persona games
and psychop pars due to their thematic
similarities overall I think the Death
Note is one of the shows that we should
revisit once in a while thanks to how
its themes have become even more
relevant it truly showcased anime's
potential to be socially relevant and
that's something that I'll always like
about this
show my number two pick is Hunter
Hunter there are so many things that I
can praise about Hunter Hunter whether
it be the original version or the 2011
one the plant's great and so is the very
creative way the characters and Powers
were crafted it also showed some great
versatility in moving the plot from the
hunter exams to the zalic family drama
to what many considered to be one of the
best anime arcs to this day chimira ants
from Adventure to gripping questions
about one's purpose Hunter Hunter has no
shortage of that Hunter Hunter served as
an important pillar of Shonen back in
the '90s and it came back to do the same
in the 2010s truly a remarkable example
of an action adventure series done
right are you surprised that attack on
Titan finds itself at the very top of
the
list many people still don't know that
attack on Titan is actually a shownin
anime it just doesn't look the part
especially when put alongside say my
hero Academia but that doesn't change
how few can lay claim to what Attack on
Titan has done when it burst into the
scene back in the early 2010s such a
phenomenon was unprecedented it broke
barriers between season anime fans in
the everyday Joe earlier than Demon
Slayer did and it showed fans a side of
anime that they really didn't expect to
see it didn't rely on the usual anime
tropes and maintained its darker more
grounded atmosphere throwing everyone
off guard and grabbing their attention
then it used that momentum to Pivot from
the gruesome War for Humanity survival
to more intricate philosophical aspects
leading to the culmination of the series
there's a lot to like about Attack on
Titan and there's a lot to remember it
for if we add in the cultural footprint
that it left behind there's no doubt
that it's arguably one of the best shown
in titles that we've got this Century do
you think that attack on Titan deserves
it spot on top of this list tell me what
you think in the comments section feel
free to also throw in some Shonen hits
you feel deserve more love thanks for
watching and I hope that you had fun
counting down those 30 shown and titles
with us I look forward to seeing you in
the next video
