Manga Discussion Manga/Anime Hot Takes
- Thread starter Light D Lamperouge
- Start date
Now, some of my hot takes:
- Zoro is the best anime/manga character ever, only Guts and Saito come close
- HxH is awesome no doubt, still its slightly overrated. The new arc of HxH has been crap so far
- Most of the Zhao invasion arc in Kingdom was boring, the ending was brilliant though
- Berserk should discontinue now that Miura has passed away
- Slam Dunk>Kuroko No Basket
- Demon Slayer is mid
Fair point. At the same time, you cant call a shitty manga/anime better than One Piece without any valid reason.

Hit the nail on the head with everything listed. I feel the exact same way about all of those series except for the demon slayer bit, even calling demon slayer mid is giving it too much credit honestly. Even the fights are boring as fuck.
Disclaimer I've only watched the first 3 seasons but there wasn't a single well written fight so far.
Some of my hot takes.
-L was significantly smarter than Light, Light is my fave character but he had a massive advantage and still barely squeaked by with a victory thanks to some fuck ups from other characters (not even from L directly).
-Samurai Champloo is clear cut better than Cowboy Bebop
-Death Note didn't take as massive a dip in quality after L's death as people like to believe, the anime glossed over a lot of details from the 2nd half of the manga which leads to this opinion becoming popular. Obviously you can't top L, but it was still like an excellent read all the way till the end.
-Welcome to the NHK is incredibly mid if not bad, a lot of the anime community simply relate to the MC and his insecurities so they gassed it up.
-Berserk has too many unnecessary and over the top rape scenes. It's a tad overrated simply because of how edgy it is, shonen fans who finally get to see sex and gore start fawning over it simply for that aspect alone.
-Father from FMA was a pretty shitty villain, and the original FMA anime had a far better ending which actually went with the theme of equivalent exchange, while brotherhood's ending was far too convenient.
Maybe I'll post some more later.

Most big-hit modern Shonen are overrated.
Ichigo is a passable MC, he doesn’t follow the typical Shonen formula and is also lacking in certain areas however he isn’t as annoying as MCs that have commonly follow the dumbo archetype.
It’s definitely not underrated, there’s a lot of people that still like it despite all the flaws and horrible writing. However Fairy Fail still failed even when it came to fun. Scenes like this take any fun outta of the picture:
You had Natsu soloing two dudes who were said to be stronger than his own guild and they were going all out in Dragon Force while he was in base and he smacked them in the mouth with little to no resistance. This is literally akin to Base Goku beating Vegeta and Gohan at full power during the Cell Saga lol.
Or literally any Erza fight lol, do I even need to pull up the receipts for that?

I was going to write something similar like "Most hit modern shonens (e.g., Demon Slayer, Hero Academia, Black Clover, Tokyo Revengers, Seven Deadly Sins) are overrated." In my opinion, the only two that justify their hype are JJK and AOT
Remember this legendary rant? 😂 😂 =>

JJK and AoT are probably the only ones tbh. Most of the rest of them are just overrated and some even take too much from the previous generation of Shonen. I never heard of Tokyo Revengers, did you mean Tokyo Ghoul?
Nah not that one but I remember when he went ranted about Natsu vs the Sabertooth Dragon Users or whatever they are called lol.

I would say yes just because there is no real competition
Western comics went all woke
And the other big rivals to OP like jujutsu kaisen. bleach,naruto or demon slayer ended a while (which let be honest were all superior to the finals arc that Oda created)
I hope bleach new season come as fast as possible with the new arc hell and the anime so I can skip all mid ass chapters
By the way do you have any super nice shonen beside jujutju kaisen that I can currently read?
