Kyonkicchi Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 I don't like the popular shonen animes, especially the Big Three. I tend to be more of a shoujo fan, despite being a male viewer. I find most shonen series to be repetetive, formulaic, and generally sexist. I'd like to see the thoughts of other Kametsu viewers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manifesto Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 I don't find them repetitive or sexist can you please elaborate ? (Naruto and One Piece) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumRoll Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 I agree on the repetetive part. But I don't really care about the other part so long as I get my fan-service:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koby Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 One Piece isn't repetitive. Although I agree Bleach certainly is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmingllama Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 They are fairly repetitive if you look at it as "ah, an enemy! lets get stronger after he beats us and then we can kick his ass!" But i still enjoy it anyways, though I do tend to download more of the smaller series nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zolockit Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 One Piece is kind of repetitive, but nevertheless each arc is still very much enjoyable (okay this is subjective), and the conflict isn't something so trite as "character vs character" like in the other two.Shoujo can be kind of repetitive too though. Especially with all them Mary Sues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomSunsSong Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 I personally prefer shonen, though I'm not a big fan of the more mainstream anime. It's mostly just that they're so long that I tend to lose interest after a while. I like the shorter anime that I can watch all of in about a week or so better. They seem to have less filler. No big objection to the larger anime, I just can't stick with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wake Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 My big three is One Piece, Fairy Tail and Naruto in that order... Bleach is dead to me. Really though I like all types of anime/manga. (excluding Bleach) I find the "big three" quite enjoyable to watch/read and I think I will all the way through to the end of each series.

DrumRoll Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 I've only seen fairy tail and OP. I put of watching them for the very reasons the original poster stated. But so far I have found them to be very enjoyable (fairy tail is kick-ass) and repetition kept to a minimum. Although I have only reached ep50 something of OP so there is always time to have another opinion on the matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boink666 Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 I also find that shonen falls too much into cliches. I watch mainly seinen series now, because they have a more mature style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shyguysteve Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 They're all like that, one piece in the least doesn't follow the same cliches as other shounen series but still even if its such a big hit it tends to drag and makes people wonder why things haven't sped up the crews individual goals yet.aside from that I don't really read shounen series, but I like their anime adaptations. Though the continues style gets old and blasted with fillers makes it frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reptoholic Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 I enjoy all kinds of anime, it depends on what mood I'm in and what I want to watch. I can see what your saying about shounen, though, in the end, I watch a lil bit of everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fallysan Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 I like both shonen and shoujou. It depends on my mood and the storyline involved. For example, I really like Fullmetal Alchemist and Death Note, but I also like Clannad and Anohana. It really just depends on the specific story. Within both genres you will fin repetitive series; you just need to watch the good ones! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLostFool Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 I generally greatly dislike those kind of animes. Bleach, One Piece, Naruto.. IMO I think they suck. they are cheesy and lame. lol I feel they are just stupid mostly and they just try to keep the plot going on forever!

†Anras Rune Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 I feel similar to lost fool on this one, imo the big three are overhype and quite boring. I have tried to watch all three, the pain of watching failed plot telling and drama (naruto) or repititive "what doesnt kill you makes me invincible" (bleach) is just too much. The whole dragging out of a series makes the plot get very stretched, and filler is the devil in most series' anyway. I will admit though, of the 3 OP was definatly the most original and would probably be the one i would watch if i tried again, but its style grated on me...

shadowtheman Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 I can imagine the whole sexist thing is taken out of context. Something the Japanese usually have going for them is that they are not sexist. But I can see the whole repetition thing, that was a formula that DBZ made popular. As for any of these shows being repetitious you just have to figure that for shows that run this long, the conflict needs to stay alive. Other wise the show would become just to casual and boring. I can just see it now. Luffy sails to the new world.......and then!!!!!....Nothing. Thats even worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
