Sickest Shonen I Watched In 2024

[Sovran Nila]

In 2024, I watched the following shows:

1) Vinland Saga
2) Jujutsu Kaisen
3) Demon Slayer

All three were top tier shows and I would highly recommend every anime fan watch. Animation was stellar. Music was phenomenal. Overall awe was next level. I haven't been so excited about anime in a very long time.

If I weren't blinded by nostalgia with DBZ, I believe Jujutsu Kaisen would be my favorite anime of all time. Demon Slayer is a close second.

VS S1 was very good, though I prefer a little more realism to the combat, which it lost occasionally. I stopped season 2, found it edgy. It's no longer my kind of thing, same for these shounen in general (though I didn't mind Chainsaw Man. Some great bands doing the ending songs made me excited to watch it). It was cool to see a real world, non-Japanese setting.

Kaisen I saw one episode. It's definitely popular.

My cousin had a bunch of Demon Slayer stuff at her 7th birthday. I watched an ep.

Demon slayer didn't reinvent the wheel or anything, but it's a short shonen and the series has amazing animation.

I love chainsaw man, and the series just gets better in later arcs.

JJK I enjoyed a lot until after the current anime arc. Kind of ended in a disappointing manner

I also watched Solo Leveling, however, the above mentioned shows were better, in my opinion. Chainsaw Man is on my queue.

Vinland Saga is the best mainstream Anime except for the 1997 Berserk Anime.

Jujutsu Kaisen is the best new Shonen series.

I hated Demon Slayer however.

Add Chainsaw Man to the list. Please recommend more anime shows like these.

Do you have any recommendations as what other show to watch if I also liked Chainsaw Man?

Edit: I haven't watched Attack On Titan yet. It seems MAPPA and Hiroshi Seko were on the team, so this will become a must watch eventually.

I really like the intro song:

I started watching Mob Psycho 100. It's also hysterical.

The animation is lower tier, and reminds me a lot of how Home Movies looked.
