31 Satisfying Shonen Animemes for Ninjas, Hunters, Saiyans, Demon Slayers, Alchemists, Pirates, and More

Welcome, anime fans and stans. Shōnen anime literally translates to 'boys animation.' Its main target audience is young or adolescent boys and is usually about adventures, fighting, monsters, and good vs. evil. While there are other types of anime targeted at adult men (seinen anime), adult women (josei anime), and young women (shōjo anime), shōnen is the most popular type of anime - in Japan and globally - because even though its audience is meant to be young boys, it is enjoyed by a wide variety of people. There are plenty of fun, adventurous, and easy-to-follow stories, but many shōnen anime and manga are incredibly complex, compelling, emotionally mature, political, and yet still exciting and fun to watch. Whether you're a nostalgic anime enjoyer who prefers to binge Dragon Ball, Fullmetal Alchemist, or Naruto, or you're down with the fellow kids who love Jujutsu Kaisen and Demon Slayer, enjoy this collection of silly shōnen memes.
