Top 15 Best Shounen Anime

https://i.ytimg.com/vi/1NNix_do40A/maxresdefault.jpgJapanese comics for preteen boys, usually named as Shounen Manga or Shounen Anime, are addictive because of the heavy dosage of Action, Adventure, and Epic Battles.

This is not all. People love shounen animes because of their persistent traits such as Courageous and pure heart protagonist, black and white morales of characters, murder aims, crossing orders and rules to save their friends, acting dumb, people turning from enemy into friend and vice-versa, self-improvements of protagonist shows it’s fine if you are not smart or strong but must give tries for better. The big difference can be seen between first and the last page of the chapter in terms of main character’s knowledge, power and strength.

15. Seven Deadly Sins

There is a sin for not watching this show. Instead of characters hungry for strength and wisdom here they are already established as powerful heroes to defeat any villian and have respect in town too. That’s why it’s a upside down story and a sin if you don’t watch. But the issue here is, their team is scattered and their weapons not with them. Even their kingdom is destroyed. Get ready for many flashbacks to know more about each character’s motivation. fabulous job at tying them all in with present day scene.
