After a week of forced break, this week Anime Breakfast returns with a Top: what are, in our opinion, the five best shonen anime of recent years? Let's find out together
After a week of holidays, Anime Breakfast is back as a regular Sunday column, ready to cheer up the first hours of this day of rest for many, unfortunately not for everyone. We dedicated a special episode to the deceased (we still don't believe it) Akira Toriyama, genius creator of Dragon Ball, you can find it by clicking here, and then we took a week to recover, celebrate with ciauscolo (if you don't know what that is… bad, bad) and then get back in better shape than ever. And what better way to start over than with a nice top? Let's see together what, in our opinion, are the five best shonen anime of recent years.
1. Attack on Titan | Migliori anime shonen
On Attack on Titan we have written a single-theme episode of Anime Breakfast, you can find it here, and obviously we have not yet forgotten the promise of a review of the fourth season. We just have to recover, that's it. In constant search of the much desired Freedom, Eren Yeager, the protagonist, is a young man who wishes to avenge his mother's death and free the world from the Giants who oppress human beings. Not everything, however, is really as it seems.
Considered one of the best anime ever, Attack on Titan is not just an action anime, but it proposes strong themes such as freedom, war, revenge and a sense of sacrifice that many may not agree with. In short, ultimately: you should watch it.
Here we also explain where you can do it in its entirety.
2. Jujutsu Kaisen | Migliori anime shonen
Jujutsu Kaisen bursts onto the shonen scene with an electrifying blend of supernatural action, magnetic characters and a plot that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Set in a world invisible to most people, Cursed Spirits haunt our plane of existence, causing chaos and destruction. To combat this otherworldly threat, Jujutsu sorcerers arise, warriors trained to exorcise spirits using their own evil energy.
The protagonist, Yuji Itadori, is a seemingly ordinary high school student with superhuman physical strength. His life is turned upside down when he swallows a rotten finger and opens the Sukuna Ryoumen hospital, a very powerful Cursed Spirit classified as Special Grade. Instead of succumbing to evil, Yuji retains control of his body, forming an uneasy pact with Sukuna. Sentenced to death, he is introduced to Jujutsu High, a school for sorcerers, where he learns to control Sukuna's power and fight evil spirits.
You can get it on Crunchyroll!
3. My Hero Academia | Best shonen anime
In a reality, that of My Hero Academia, where power is normality, the protagonist, Izuku Midoriya, is a boy born “without Quirk”, that is, without those special powers that are so widespread. However, Izuku dreams of becoming a hero just like his idol All Might, the most powerful hero in the world.
My Hero Academia's strength lies in its upbeat and encouraging atmosphere. Izuku, despite her challenges, It never gives up. His hard work and determination inspire those who watch, conveying the message that anyone can become a hero, with or without special powers.
Even in this case, you can recover it on Crunchyroll!
4. Demon Slayer (Kimetsu no Yaiba) | Migliori anime shonen
In rural Taisho Japan, Tanjiro Kamado's life is turned upside down by a tragic attack: his family is massacred by a demon and his sister Nezuko is transformed into a bloodthirsty creature. This is the incipit of Demon Slayer or Kimetsu no Yaiba, whatever you want to call it.
Driven by revenge and the hope of saving Nezuko, Tanjiro embarks on an arduous journey to become a Demon Slayer. Under the guidance of the Pillar of Water, Sakonji Urokodaki, Tanjiro learns to master Sun Breathing, an ancient sword technique that allows him to fight demons.
You can catch Demon Slayer in the Netflix catalogue!
5. Spy x Family | Migliori anime shonen
Spy x Family bursts onto the anime scene with an absurd and irresistibly funny premise: a spy must create a fictitious family to infiltrate a prestigious private school. Agent Twilight, master of disguise and subterfugetransforms into Loid Forger, an accomplished psychiatrist with an elegant wife, Yor, and a telepathic daughter, Anya.
The secret of Spy x Family lies precisely in its perfectly calibrated dysfunctionality. Loid has never had a family, Yor is a lethal assassin who hides her true profession, and Anya is an orphaned child who longs for a place in a loving family. Each of them has a secret to keep, e.g the paradoxical situations that arise from this forced coexistence are the main source of the series' humor.
You can find it all on Crunchyroll!
