Obligitory Animes Thread

digimon is considered Shounen actually. it's mainly geared towards a male audience because of it's action and quick to whit characters. but that's why I like Shoujo anime better. there are very few shounen anime i like. ghost in the shell, trigun, cowboy bebop, and wolf's rain just to name a few. but then again they are different than your typical shounen anime. they have in depth characters and stories. doesn't mean some people don't like shounen doesn't mean they should be in denial about whether an anime truly is or not.

Well despite it being a genre, shounen is mainly applied to and associated with Shounen jump on thought, but yeah.

not really. shounen existed long before shounen jump came out. just as shoujo anime and manga existed long before shoujo beat came out and anime as a whole existed before NewType came out. you get where i'm going?

Im just saying the association. The genre was there long before the company, but the big three sadly represent it.

Digimon isnt shounen. Shounen is mostly the bullshit bleach and naruto are. Overrated trash with irritating main characters, generic plots and motivations, exessive redundant power ups and the most infantile style of fan service. Just because Digimon has some bad characters doesn't mean they aren't charismatic to the audience if they have character I personally hate Season 4 but found the characters likable, not funny at all but solid. Were as everything about season 2 sucked.

Season 4's theme song was stupid to me. It felt out of place with the show.

Dude you DO understand your entire description is exactly what Digimon is right? It's what every show like Digimon is.
You can pretend it's better for whatever reason you have in your head, but it's a shounen show and one hell of a famous one at that.
MOST characters in Digimon are Bad, why? Because it's a kid show and they're rarely fleshed out to anything other then the stereotypes they're needed to be to fulfill the shows role. ALL main characters in the show fit this, none are exceptional in any way, they're all standard affair, for every season too.
Only a few of the villains are decent and even then.... man.
This being said Digimon in general has avoided a lot of flack by being actually entertaining, better writing, actual relationships grow man. TK and Kari all day yo.
And Digimon season 5 is the worst of em all by far. ... my heart sunk
