Since you like sports then you should try my four favorites:
Major Hajime no Ippo Touch Slam Dunk Besides those, there's Blue Legend Shoot, Initial D, and Akagi (about mahjong, ugly characters though) Also, I recommend you give Bleach and One Piece another chance, shounen wise they are better than most out there. Bleach's greatness doesn't really start until episode 18 or so, so one episode is not going to show you much, especially when most people out there hated the first episode. One Piece, it really takes a bit longer to show it's awesomeness, so if you're not willing to spend some time with it, then what can I say, it's your miss. The character design might seem wierd at first, but after you've seen a lot of episodes, you'll begin to notice that it's great. Also, Monster is Seinen rather than Shounen, it's probably the best series out there plot-wise. So if you're up to watch a series with an awesome mature storyline, and awesome characters, then you should give it another try. If you liked Fate/stay night, you should give Tsukihime a try since it's made by the same company, sadly it's a short anime. Märchen Awakens Romance is another shounen you should give a try. And my final suggestion is, stop judging animes based on solely one episode, you're going to miss out on a lot of great ones that way.

I guess I'm a sucker, I help people over and over and they ask for the same stuff every thread, yet no ones thinks about looking in another persons threads for the answers...
subbed and good Black Cat Air Gear Noein (seems to be shonen so far to me) Kiba Airmaster (Has more Street-fighting techniques than I've seen in a while) Peacemaker Kurogane (slice of life with some action) Beck (slice of life) I don't know how you've watched all those titles and not Yu Yu hakusho which is arguable the best fighting shonen of all time (Created by HunterxHunter creator)...Atleast to me it is...You need to watch this one first...It also has somewhat of a clone-series called Flame of Recca, watch it after though..

I will also recommend major for sports and go watch Beck, its now one of my favorite animes because of the great characters and interesting storyline. And I will also recommned that you relook at bleach, the series doesn't really get going for a few episodes so you should give it another chance.

I recommend (second) Touch and Hiatari Ryoukou, and basically any anime made from an Adachi work. They're great shounen titles. I'd recommend Maison Ikkoku too, if you can procure it, although I don't think that's shounen per se.

I'd like to reccomend:
Eyeshield 21: Although this is the only sports anime that I've tried, it has grown on me. It doesn't have "moves" like Prince of Tennis apparantly does, but it has lots of great characters, each with their own charm. Spoiler for my favorite character in the series:
The next ones are licensed, but you should still try them. Rurouni Kenshin: This is a great series. If you like sword-fighting anime, that's a big plus. However, if I were you, I'd invest in the manga instead, since the anime doesn't have the Jinchu arc in it. Either way, though, you should at least try this series. Yuu Yuu Hakusho: I cannot reccomend the series enough. One of my all time favorites. Fast paced, lots of fighting. Although, judging by your dismissal of Bleach and One Piece (both which I love), you seem to let first impressions get to you too easily. It's boring at first, until Spoiler:
Then it's smooth sailing. If it help, it was done by the same guy who did Hunter x Hunter. |
