Naruto is one of the all-time favourite Shonen Anime, Many big celebrities are also fans of this anime, it paved the path to other future shonen anime of battle style. It is also considered a part of the big 3. 

Many fans say that their first anime is naruto, it's art-style, side characters, villains, and dialogues make it top-class anime.

2. One Piece

Despite of being part of the big 3, this anime is famous for its world-building. Many fans complain about it being too long anime but still it's always part of the debate between naruto and one piece for best anime title.

Currently, One Piece Manga has the world record for highest selling manga.

3. Hunter x Hunter

While shonen fans won’t be strangers to the plot armor that all protagonists enjoy, often pulling out new powers and forms out of nowhere, Hunter x Hunter’s Nen system is an extraordinarily clever way to power the show and its characters. Every move in the show is informed by Nen, and every character is bound by its rules. Don’t follow the rules? A heavy toll will be exacted.

Besides incredible battles, Hunter x Hunter’s world is expansive and worth diving into. No matter where you go, interesting characters inhabit the world—and arguably some of anime’s most popular villains.

4. Jojo's Bizzare Adventure

While ostensibly a supernatural shonen, each arc takes on a very different flavor thanks to its rotating main character. Diamond is Unbreakable takes on a mystery vibe, while Golden Wind has a crime drama aspect weaved through it.

Even for a battle shonen, JoJo’s fights happen frequently and relentlessly. But each fight is made special by the constant exploitation of strengths and weaknesses in the characters, powers, and environment. There’s never a fight that’s just hand waved away as one being stronger than the other.

5.Dragon Ball

Dragon Ball is the godfather of the modern shonen, and has inspired several series. But even now, few can rival the OG in terms of its hype and spectacular power-ups.

One of Dragon Ball’s greatest strengths are its villains. Every one that appears on-screen is attractive, drips with menace, and presents a chilling counterpart to Goku’s relentless optimism. The older animation might not hold up as well in the present day—but nothing can beat a good story, and a good shout of KAMEKAMEHA!

6. Attack on titan

The story follows a a trio of friends, Eren, Armin, and Mikasa, who experience a sudden Titan invasion in their hometown of Shiganshina. Losing their home and their loved ones to these towering creatures, they decide to sign up for the Survey Corps, a military branch dedicated to fighting off the Titans.

While the world feels closed off inside the walled cities, the series has an excellent pace of storytelling. Every season shares insightful stories from Eren’s posse that eventually reveal the mind-blowing origin of the Titans.

7. The Promised Neverland

Before the release of the anime adaptation, I knew the hype for the manga was strong.

And yet I still wasn’t prepared for it.The Promised Neverland is a miracle in the shounen world.This is one of the shortest anime series on my list — and the next entries are way longer than it.In just 12 episodes, CloverWorks captured what made the source material special.
