Whoa wait is this true? I never really bothered to get to the end of the original Yugioh and just read like a super brief synopsis about the ending. LOL if so.
Being better written than most other shonen doesn't make it not shonen

Idk if we can have a coversation about Goku with people overblowing his parenting skills.
Yeah, Naruto is on a completely different level. The series should be a cautionary tale of what happens when shounen goes on too long.

Imm0rt4l is coming for your ass, Jesus
He's pretty not good at it though. he ain't no Gan, but he up there.
One of my favorite shonen protagonists is tsunayoshi from KHR, loved that series, I am sad for whatever reason it got canceled. Which was weird considering it was doing well before it stopped.

Zoro is boring because he's literally not allowed to lose.(to swordsman, which is all he fights) That was his vow until he fights Mihawk who is the only person he has lost against
So he's going to spend the duration of the series holding up that vow until he fights Mihawk again.
I like him in the games, but zoro has the most boring and straightforward fights in the series because he's not allowed to lose to anyone. Doing so would only complicate the plot and complicated is the antithesis of one piece.
Naruto is at least consistently dumb. Full Metal Alchemist preaches that equivalent exchange as the law of the universe and consistently beats that reality into the main characters
Then it ends with the happiest neatest tidiest ending. The day is saved, all the bad guys die and all the good guys get what they want and live happily ever after.

Not saying he's the best but they act like dude completely abandons his kids for a pack of cigs or someshit.
"He leaves to train uub" Nigga they can sense his ass and fly to him get the fuck outta here.

naw... light had no excuse. dude could literally have his enemies die in their sleep, slipping in the shower, or in horrific microwaving explosions and he found a way to make life hard.
zero was outchea winning.
I wouldn't call it tidy.
And 'equivalent exchange' was always a convenient way for the creator to :3
But I thought it was the greatest story ever told!!
I felt that way about code geass, I do not feel that way about death note.
Both Have pretty good abridged series BTW, the geass along with the dudes One peice one gets updated super rarely. Though dude made the pest pokemon related thing ever. And the death note one was really good, but the guy stopped doing it I think he is actually a voice actor now. So eh.

Light had to be the dumbest asshole in the history of manga/anime.
His foolishness was only matched by L's asspulls.

Are you actually reading the same OP as everyone else? Are you reading the current arc? There's tons of characters, plotlines, backstory revealed and it doesn't seem like it's even near being finished

dude's name was L...he already lost before it begun
Zero had his sister massacre some fools cause of the dumbest joke in history. "I could even have you kill all the Japanese people if I wanted." :3 Who the fuck jokes about that? Dude and his crew was fucking up so badly they just had to make him a bad guy so they could end the shit.
Don't even get me started on Suzaku and his bullshit command letting him basically break the world.

I bet you 100 million billion dollars that this current arc ends with Luffy beating up the bad guys, making the princess character happy, having a big party and moving onto the next island to do it all over again
That aggressive step

Like how the war ended with Luffy beating the bad guy? Like Shabody ended with Luffy beating the bad guy? Or Impel Down ended with Luffy beating the bad guy? Not saying it doesn't usually happen but definitely not always
that part was crazy.
This nigga L: "I see no evidence of you being Kira. You're too normal: only Kira could possibly pull that off."
Confirmation bias, the character. Made the show boring.
That's when Light's foolishness caught up to him. Before he made an embarrassment of errors to even become a suspect in the first place. But while Light was still playing the plausible deniability game, L would look at any action Light took as evidence of him being Kira.

I thought he pretty much suspected him the whole time. Didn't he literally lock him up for a month just to make sure? And thenhandcuff them together or something?

Gomu Gomu no Elephant Gun Storm
The move he's going to beat DOflamingo with
Dude average. He is not on the level of say Conan Edogawa, Joseph Joestar or Kurama from YuYu.

You crazy if you think i bought Madden full price. In any case, i would have bought it regardless.
Yo, fuck all this anime talk...
I'm passing my time in cable purgatory by watching my Batman: The Animated Series DVDs.
This show has aged well. Animation has more FPS than most modern anime (which is damn sad, to be honest), and the art style and soundtrack nails the mood perfectly.
GOAT show.

i enjoy the rival/villain characters way more in shonen.
in the cases where i actually like the MC it's usually a series where the whole cast is really good. yusuke, kenshin, kuroko, the jojos, inuyasha.
naruto is just so massive that i'm bound to like a few characters. kakashi, itachi.
bleach i don't even like the main crew of heroes. aizen & mayuri are where it's at.

Batman TAS, Beyond, Superman TAS, and Justice League all hold up. I gotta go back and watch Static Shock to see how that aged.

The good thing about LOGH is that it had smart and dumb people. And even the smartest guys alive had huge character flaws. Like you're just watching history unfold rather than good guysvs bad guys or protags vs antags
I feel like there's not enough middle ground in shounen. Either everyone is dumb and just relies on super powers, or everyone is
insanely smart and had the specific knowledge and expertise needed to deal with this crazy absurd ability they're encountering for the first time perfectly.(killua vs dart board twins. Every single Jojo protagonist at some point)
But that's like comparing apples and oranges I guess

Good shit.
I was always fond of that episode where the dude thought he beat Bats and was scared shitless. And the episode with the computer tower with the red eye.
I thought the first season of TAS was really rough, at least in the beginning. The animation especially is very hit-or-miss. First couple Joker episodes are actually awful.

It's all a matter of budget. An average anime ep has a budget of like $100-300k compared to something like...Futurama which is over a million. Batman definitely wasn't that high but was probably higher than most anime series. When the shows were produced has little to do with it. Also, let's not act like the early eps weren't a bit shaky.
