Jojo's has ended 7 times, and 5 of those 7 have been great endings.

No. One Piece is absolute garbage.
>inb4 "/a/ hates it because it's popular"
No, it's just a shitty story with retarded character archetypes. The only reason I still read it is because I've already dumped too much of my life into it to back out now.

Yeah, FMA:B Best shounen.

Is you actually going to give legit reasons on why it's bad or are you just going to spew meaningless buzzwords?

One Piece has the best world-building, mysteries, lore, cast of characters, conflict, character development, I can go and on and we can compare with any shounen you like. Go ahead, name a better shounen and we'll compare the two.

>>139309212
No u. Different tastes. I'm not going to argue about whose opinion is wrong, that's retarded.

>>139309212
It's best at world building and long term plot development and that's it. The character development is near non existant (even when something huge, like Ace's death, happens) and the characterisation itself is over reliant on tragic backstories and gags. The arcs are formulaic and repetitive to an irredeemable extent, and it worked for a while but now it's just tired. I can't bring myself to care about the ten filler fights between the strawhats/random villagers and the bad guys while Luffy is stuck somewhere before facing the biggest bad and saving the island from whatever oppressive regime it's under. We know how it ends, because it's the same every time.

I pretty much just read it because it's funny. As a battle manga, it's a chore to read.

It's been like that since SBR, but bits of it could be seen in Part 6.

That's pretty funny.

DBZ was never the best shonen in the first place, it was just Toriyama aping HnK which did it better
I seriously hope no one here likes bleach, but theres regular Attack om Titam threads so shit taste is to be expected I guess
No Shonen could ever surpass Fist of the North Star

There's no excellent or outstanding "shounen", they're all mediocre compare to the oldies and other titles in a different category, if someone force me to pick one, I'll pick One Piece, that title is the only reasonable choice if you have common sense, that series is something.

See these newfags getting riled up if someone said "One Piece", those anons can be ranked as same species as narutards, their minds aren't capable of comprehending what's good or bad, can't believe they're here.

I should rewatch this. Parco Folgore & Kanchomé's introductory episode might be the hardest I've laughed in my entire life.

FMA and JoJo. No contest. Well ther is also Ushio and Tora but hardly anyone knows about it. Its amazing as well and you all should go read it along with the former two.

Please tell me why it's taking 800 chapters and counting to tell a story that's still only about ~80% done.

Go ask your current favorite shonen author, ask them if their works are better than One Piece, I'll bet they will answer a straight forward "NO, are you crazy?", those authors knew better than you stupid teenagers.

Are you retarded? A mangaka's opinion of their own or others series has nothing to do with the quality of the work, and you could never expect a truthful answer in the first place.

Switch Jojo and One Piece and you've got an objectively correct list

FMA:B is put together really well, and the setting and OST are still appealing after all this time.

I can see why people might likeep shonen even with some other type of stories that had good aspects of it.

I think that most people are just crazy by reembolso world represented on moat Battle Shonens than anything else.

Which manga them have extensive world building, focus on character development and fights and a large cast of characters that isn't a Shonen?

I think that the best example that I can come up with is Berserk.
