HxH is the best shonen I've read. The manga is notorious for having doodle-like art at times but when he steps it up it's almost like Berserk or Vagabond level art. The new anime is the same as the manga but it has consistent decent art. Also, half of Naruto's part 1 stuff is "borrowed" from HxH.

I may have to stick with it if HxH is that good. Started the first episode on Netflix the other night and it wasnt grabbing me.

Trust me, you're going to want to stick with it. It gets real and sick as it progresses. It's all about pacing, my man.

BTW, am I the only one who sees this title and can't help but think of the first Sideshow Bob episode?

"Big shoes to fill.....

Big shoes to fill.....

Big shoes to fill..........."

I don't watch the Simpsons.

Welp, that was a beautiful friendship while it lasted.

Tonight is the Simpsons/Futurama crossover tho. I'm so phucking there!

I started up Berserk again and that last chapter was inspiring good! Has anyone read Übel Blatt? I'm liking it so far, it has a little bit of Claymore, Berserk in it.

@TheTyrant -

Out of hiroaki samura work, which you recommend reading? thnx

Imo Chimera Ant arc is the best part of the manga but it starts much later on.

Only thing I've read from him is Blade of the Immortal which happens to be one of my favorite manga. Try if if you haven't already.

Also I've read a bit of Ubel Blatt, I think I left off on chapter 15-ish. I'll probably pick it back up sometime.

With Naruto on its way out the door, which shounen is taking its place as part of the HST? Fairy Tail?

It may take some time before any really reach the level of popularity, but Fairy Tail is the closest, yea.

The next really big one may be something new.

Hm, I wonder about UQ Holder too. That may be a possibility.

What's a Sympson? How would you know what Something Bub is without watching whatever a Sympson is?

Has to be Gintama most likely.

But you also told me you love the shit out of the Magi manga which I found boring.

I didn't say I loved it. I just enjoyed it more than D.Gray-Man. At least I gave a serious answer since Nanatsu no Taizai is an actual shounen instead of giving a troll answer like "HURR DURR Berserk LOL!".

Well, Nanatsu no Taizai has been getting a lot of love in Japan. Some of the volumes have even been outselling One Piece lately and it has a really spot on anime adaptation. It's also still relatively new and established itself.

I'm on chatper 4, right now. It is alright. It is not amazing. But it isn't even remotely bad, though. 😄

Wow, if true, that's a very good sign! Yea, sounds like it may be a top contender.

HxH has so much potential.
But the hiatuses ruins it's HST contention.

Right now, Gintama seems to be the most likely candidate for HST, with Toriko and Fairy Tale not trailing behind.

Berserk is a josei manga though.

World Trigger, It's what im reading at the moment and it's pretty damn good.

Oh! There's another recent one that's really good and doing quite well: Blue Exorcist.
