BetrayedTangy 05/03/20 7:59:00 AM #1:	I'm really in the mood for an action anime, almost like a Shonen, but a lot shorter, better written and less filler. I like the heavy focus on weapons/abilities as well as interesting combat matchups. Tournament arcs tend to help with that a lot. Maybe something like Bleach, Soul Eater, or MHA. But like I said without a lot of their flaws. --- My Quest to beat the Final Fantasies: I II IV V VI VII VIII IX X XII XIII XIV XV <cite>BetrayedTangy posted [p:938529693] in I need an ...

MariaTaylor 05/03/20 8:07:08 AM #2:	I guess Samurai Champloo is the obvious answer, if you haven't seen it already. Aside from that... this is a tough request. The anime you're describing might not even exist. I went through my top 200 anime, even going as far as to check and see if there was anything I rated poorly but that you might like.. and didn't find a second title that even closely fits your conditions. The anime and manga industry is heavily driven by serialized titles that will keep selling more volumes, more chapters, more episodes, more seasons. A lot of the structural problems with the narrative of anime, and the reason a lot of them have poor endings, is because of this industry standard. Often times there is very little planning and the story just continues until it train wrecks or the series is cancelled and gets a rushed ending. Worse than that is how anime are often adapted from long running manga series, or other source materials like Light Novels with no ending in sight. This means any individual season of an anime usually has an inconclusive ending and isn't guaranteed to get a sequel. --- all the rest weren't so unfortunate https://imgur.com/yv2eC4n <cite>MariaTaylor posted [p:938529859] in I need an ...

BetrayedTangy 05/03/20 8:50:44 AM #5:	I had a friend show me the first episode of Samurai Champloo actually, it seemed really good. If that's the closest thing I'll probably go for that. I've been interested in YYH for awhile. I might check it out too, does anyone know if it's on any streaming services? --- My Quest to beat the Final Fantasies: I II IV V VI VII VIII IX X XII XIII XIV XV <cite>BetrayedTangy posted [p:938530735] in I need an ...

UshiromiyaEva 05/03/20 8:54:40 AM #6:	YYH is on Hulu. My recommendation for the best "modern" (in anime release at least) shounen is absolutely going to be the 2011 Hunter x Hunter series. It's not short, somewhere in the 130s IIRC, but it really can't be beat. It's longer than YYH (same writer), but they're both long so at that point it's not much of a difference. It really can't be beat, and is without a doubt amongst the all time genre greats. <cite>UshiromiyaEva posted [p:938530827] in I need an ... [t:78652705]...</cite> <quote>YYH is on Hulu.

INCEPTlON 05/03/20 9:46:12 AM #11:	Oh god if 130 isnt too long then yes. Definitely do YYH and HXH.

It is probably the single most butchered hack job 4kids ever produced, well beyond what they have ever done to any other anime.

The main issue is that it had a SUPER slow start due to the misguided belief at the time of "well we gotta keep it at a pace so that it doesn't catch up to the manga", which....is a whole thing.

It's got basically everything I'd want in a shonen series (and even things I didn't know I wanted). And I heard the anime is an amazing adaptation as well.</quote> Oh you gotta check it out.

GoldSlime35 05/03/20 2:22:09 PM #45:	UshiromiyaEva posted... Yes, Zatch Bell was the dub name. It is probably the single most butchered hack job 4kids ever produced, well beyond what they have ever done to any other anime. Just doesn't get brought up along the likes of what the did to One Piece and the like because it's not as high profile, but it is ROUGH. The original is very, very good! It wasn't 4Kids. Zatch Bell was dubbed by Viz. They didn't even finish the dub, it was cancelled after 104 of 150 episodes. <cite>GoldSlime35 posted [p:938543250] in I need an ...
