| If you ask someone to list some "shounen" animes, I am not sure how Sakamoto Days is ever going to come up. You would think Demon slayer, or JJK, or One piece, similar anime with blood, a little gore, a little death here and there. Some action anime with real things at stake. Not Spy x family or sakamoto days where there is absolutely nothing at stake. The action is just slo-mo powerpoint slides of a fat dude beating up angry strange looking hitmen. Like i get that it is amusing to watch. But I think we can agree this show is not an "action" anime and is rather a "comedy", sure. However, the comedy seems to be very simple and is very family friendly. Like a misunderstanding where a kid thinks a "real" fight is just a theatrical play. Very amusing, right? Or when a woman consistently misunderstands the intentions of some masculine dude who is obsessed with fat Sakamoto. Haha? Comedy doesn't need to be complex, but it's extremely simple in this show and there is not much depth to any of the jokes or comedic acts. So the question then is, who is this anime for? It is not for your average shounen enjoyer, aged 10-90 cheering on Scruffy from One piece. It is not for your goofy buddies that like funny raunchy shows like Gotoubon. Nor the intellectuals that enjoy depth and complex story telling like Oreimo. It is for people that do not watch anime. For the casual viewer, for the girlfriend that wants to watch an anime for the first time, for the grandpa that calls anime "chinese cartoons". It is a generic family friendly show for the generic novice consumer of anime. Wonder if real anime viewers feel the same way? Certainly this increase of "family friendly" animes is discouraging to see amongst the veterans |

| Serialized in Weekly SHONEN Jump. -> Definitely a Shonen series. -> -> Shonen is an audience demographic, not a genre 😅 |

| Bruh, everyone know that this accounts posts only bait and this thread is no different. |

| Someone teach this guy the meaning of Shounen like srsly nowadays people don't even understand the difference between a genre and a demographic. Also, it is NOT baby/family-friendly for your kind information, Mr. Cool gore enjoying edgelord. A story needs to set itself up in it's own pace. It wouldn't be one of the top ranked manga in Shounen jump for nothing like it was still maintaining high ranks in TOCs and reader's survey even when jjk and mha were around. People need to catch a break and learn to enjoy stuff instead of throwing tantrums over popular shit being popular. Also, if you are a "veteran" and Don't understand Shounen then just stop it. Sakamoto days has everything to be a Shounen and is enjoyed by the Shounen age group. |

| Bro is onto nothing, Sakamoto Days is NOT a kodomo anime |
The diss to shows like spy x family, sakomoto days, and manga like kindergarten wars is crazy. No stakes? In spy x family, a war is on the line for crying out loud, and sakamato risks not only his life but family on the line. These shows are honestly great and are different from the usual battle, dark and serious shows. They combine everything in the right portions. The slice of life, the comedy, action, and drama. |
damn bro thats crazy 🗿🗿🗿 |
| that's bait mixed with a lot of mental illness. |
 |
| I smell your bait from the other side of the globe. |
| “is this shounen” debates in 2025 y’all will never learn |
| *cough* Who is it for? For like a teenager....uhm...male...likes action, inserts himself into the story. Needs the Anime to be quite fast paced and good looking...Fighting or some form of violence is also important.... Oh wait.... Sounds like Shonen! xD I get it tho. It's NOT like One Piece and it's certainly not what the "veterans" (Ewww xD) would like. Therefore it must be an Action-Comedy. Good point. EDIT: The beauty of a good Mongo-Bait Thread is that he sprinkles in these horrificly idiotic opinions that just make you fall for it everytime xD Damn. Kid is a, very lonely, master^^ |

| Is this such subtle trolling to parody complaints about the modern edgy trend in Battle Shonen? |
