Is there another way to call them besides "Dark Shonen".It sounds really fucking cringe>Inb4 trash.What about Reiketsu?At least I think Chainsaw Man can fall into "Gekiga inspired".
>>289370179"Shounenshit"
>>289370179demon slayer was better even if it was boring.
You don't know what you're talking about. Genuinely embarrassing thread.
>>289370272I'm trying to have a serious conversation here guys.I just want a name to the works that are clearly not Nekketsu.
>>289370179brother those three are baby mode compared to older shonen, how the fuck are you going to call them "dark"
>>289370300older shonen what fist of north star, rurouni kenshin, city hunter.
>>289370179It's called "dark shonen" because of the skin color of their fanbase
>>289370300I mean, yeah but that's how they're popularly known, I just said that it was cringy.But since they aren't based on the virtues of Friendship, Victory and overcoming, but cynicism and pragmatism (even if tryhard) then they can't be Nekketsu. All I'm asking is a genre name.
>>289370350The distinction between these and everything else isn't big enough to warrant its own genre, you just lack media exposure.Jigokuraku doesn't even fit with the other two.
>>289370179those in the know call them "soft seinen"
>>289370179jjk is trash
>>289370428But most Seinen is Iyashikei and slice of life.>>289370403>The distinction between these and everything else isn't big enough to warrant its own genre, you just lack media exposureI mean, they lack the Nakama, Doryoku, Shōri elements, so nekketsu they can't be.So just subverted nekketsu?
>>289370276>t. DBspic
>>289370179On the right, literally WHO??
>>289370548Hell’s Paradise
>>289370428Berserk is closer to nekketsu than the stuff in OP even if it's the blueprint for these shows.
