Having Sonny Boy listed as a “masterpiece” has me shaking my head. Much in the same way I shook my head after watching Sonny Boy.
Sonny Boy is an anime you recommend people watch to mess with them.
Any normal person that watches it will step away at the end thinking, “WTF did I just watch‽”
Unrelated: Demon Slayer is worth watching. The hype is irrelevant.
Demon Slayer
It looks like they don’t really watch battle shounen. It’s not really my genre either but I sometimes try them out if i have a lot of friends watching them. Demon Slayer has good art but it also has Zenitsu being insufferable and other hallmarks of the genre that put people that aren’t into it off.
I dont think you understood the story.
Also, the story telling is very interesting, skipping over major events, and instead focusing on the character's reactions.
I understand that it's not for everyone.
Unrelated: Demon Slayer is worth watching. The hype is irrelevant.Again, someone is suggesting that I watch "this show" without providing a good reason why i should watch it. All I'm hearing is "good animation" and "action". Lemme provide context.
I’ll give another perspective then: If you’ve already seen another decent battle shounen you’ve already seen Demon Slayer. Sure Demon Slayer is mostly well-executed, but it’s far from perfect and nothing it does is really unique. You’re really not missing all that much.
All I’m hearing is “good animation” and “action”.
That’s all it really is tbh, and good music. The animation is insanely good and would’ve kept me hooked if it wasn’t for incredible obnoxious side characters (Zenitsu mainly)

I see where he is coming from. It’s a battle shounen and if that’s not your cup of tea then they’re all equally worthless. It’s like discussing the differences of blended and single malt whisky with a non-alcoholic.

Same reason why i didnt watch bleach.
Lemme admit though, the sound and animation in Demon Slayer is top tier 👌:btr_kikuri_wave:

The user you are replying to is on Mastodon instead of lemmy. Those shortcodes are replaced with emoji on that platform. Specifically, this one:

Misskey has a feature where server admins can upload custom emojis to the server. If you know who discord servers work, then you'll be familiar with this feature :ablobfoxbongohyper:

I wouldn’t go quite that far. Dan Da Dan is also a battle shounen, but it has other elements that made it worth watching even for my wife and I (even though we were kind of tired of battle shounen).
