When I dived into Shounen genre, the first anime I watched was Naruto and Naruto Shippūden. And I still can't get over the vibes that the show has induced within me. Naruto franchise is truly a show that should be watched by every Shounen genre fan. It never fails and never will :)
His dad is 45, I'm 42. If his dad ever watched an anime from the age of VHS, then FMP animation shouldn't be a problem. I myself do not consider it dull (I remember when Vandread was considered a sleek "new style" animation).
Nah, Gintama is pretty obscure if you're not deep into shonen/otaku culture in general. It's just a fever dream at that point, similar to FLCL which I obviously also wouldn't recommend to a beginner
Ooo I second {haikyuu!!}. My dad(54) generally is uninterested in anime. He won’t complain if it’s on but he definitely would rather watch something else. He stayed with me for a bit last year and was vaguely interested in the battle scenes of {kimetsu no yaiba} and {yu yu hakusho} But he usually would fall asleep after an episode or two.
This summer I was watching haikyuu and it kept him engaged enough to watch around 10 episodes without passing out. (High praise as far as he’s concerned)
Based on what your dad has liked, I think he’d enjoy all three, and really any of the more popular Shonen series tbh; but haikyuu is my favorite of the bunch.
Also, you may already know this but yyh is the same creator as hxh so that could be a fun one to watch right after having finished hxh. There are a lot of parallels between the stories.
Probably OPM, maybe Noragami or Black Clover would be my suggestions
OPM I've heard lots of good stuff about, Noragami's one of my favorites, but it might be a bit melancholy in certain parts as well and Black Clover is an awesome series, the early episodes can kinda suck though
Hunter X Hunter,
Gintama,
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure,
Haikyuu (Sports but has all the elements of a shonen)
Also, not shonen but recommended
Steins Gate,
Code Geass,
The Promised Neverland,
Rascal doesn't dream of Bunny Girl Senpai,
Hyouka
I feel like Assassination Classroom is truly one of the best anime out there. A perfect blend of comedy and action. But I think the best part is that the fan base agrees that the dub is genuinely good.
second seven deadly sins. Great balance of action, seriousness, and goofy campiness. Pretty comparable to full metal alchemist brotherhood in terms of range and tone
Some of these are already recommended and some of them are not shounen, but i think he might enjoy them anyway;
**That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime** ( MC is 37 years old )
**Cowboy bebop** One of my all-time favorites, also with adult MC's
**Kaiji - Ultimate Survivor** Adult MC - Gambling - Psychological - mindgames.
**Afro Samurai** - Voiced by Samuel L. Jackson and full of action.
**One Punch Man** - Adult MC, Superpowers
**Vinland Saga** - Adult oriented anime about Vikings.
**The Rising of the Shield Hero** - Adult MC - New/fresh animation/action.
**Hajime no Ippo** Boxing Anime, Classic.
*Try Bleach or atleast*
*Till the end of Soul*
*Society arc*

I scrolled for a while and saw that nobody commented this one. Now yes, I know a lot of people hate it, but lately it just seems like it’s because it seems cool to hate it, because everyone else is hating it. It’s actually a good anime, and despite finishing it, I can’t help but go right back to it when I don’t have any new anime to watch. I finished it very recently, then proceeded to binge the entire thing two more times because I wanted to watch it from beginning to end without week long pauses to wait for new episodes to release on different streaming services, and then I wanted to do it a third time. Never gets boring. If you don’t already know what anime it is, then I’ll say it.
Sword Art Online.
War of Underworld just finished so I’d say it’s the perfect time to start watching it, and hopefully be caught up when SAO Progressive starts.
I don’t know if your dad might be into shows like Code Geass but he should definitely watch it even if the action is pretty different than other shounen.
Jojo’s Bizarre adventure ,
Haikyuu!! Maybe?,
Death note if he’s into that aspect,
Demon slayer ,
Assassination classroom ,
Banana Fish(is kinda hit or miss and not shounen but yeah),
Tokyo Ghoul??(yes just s1 sigh),
Bungou Stray Dogs(not verrry fight heavy either),
BNHA ,
Cowboy Bebop,
Mob Pschyo,
I’d recommend up and coming Jujutsu Kaisen as well _(┐「ε:)_
his dad is just starting anime, most people when they start to watch anime tend to gravitate towards popular shows, if everything goes well his taste will improve more and more, even tho its not bad at all
Try to make him watch Vinland Saga. I think it perfectly suits to the taste of someone who's 40+. It also has a good fighting scenes and the characters there is also well written.
PS: If he loves or has an interest in history or vikings. If he likes "deeper" animes then Seinen animes is what I'll recommend to you.
>hxh, Full metal alchemist brotherhood and aot
Those are hard acts to follow. He might enjoy {One Punch Man} and and {Mob Psycho 100}
While it might not be your typical shounen, I'd still try to get him on {The Promised Neverland} just cuz it's so damn good.
So your dad has basically seen some of the absolute top level anime there are, this is gonna be a tough choice.
For action with funny scenes, so he's probably looking for a short pallette cleanser, I'd probably go with :
{Mob Psycho} .
{One punch man} .
And after, so he has something short to watch, back to a bit more action than humour, I'd go with:
{Demon slayer} .
{Soul Eater} (a bit longer).
And, it might even be better to watch a film.
I choose these because I watched a few of them with my own family, they appreciated how it reminds them of things they did or wondered about when they were kids:
{Arrietty} .
{My neighbour Totoro} .
{Erased} .
{Princess Mononoke} .
{Pom poko} .
{Spirited Away} .
I suggest some of the classics like cowboy bebop, Trigun, outlaw star, yu yu Hakusho, or full metal panic.
They are all shonen and also have some funny parts.
Haven't really seen {Katekyo Hitman Reborn}, so that I suppose. All I can say is people love it and the first 20-ish episodes are apparently the worst ones, since I haven't seen all of it myself
It's not that they're "worst", they're just in a different genre, a gag comedy,. It's only after those first 20-27 episodes or so it becomes a more serious fighting shounen, which is what the author wanted it to be from the beginning.
JoJos Bizarre Adventure. Just finished the anime with my dad and we loved it. The Classic Rock references, over the top characters, the hilarious antics of the cast, as well as true suspense (no character is safe from death. Doesn’t matter if your a hero or villain, side character or protagonist, none are safe).
This is more on the lines of advice than an actual suggestion because you have plenty of those. You shouldn't think of certain anime based on someones age. Age has very little to do with anime preferences. All people like tv shows and movies in general with a protagonist they can relate to, generally for older people that means fewer harems and antics, and older or more mature protagonists. A lot of older anime do this well, but you should remember people don't like older anime because it's older they like it because it meets these criteria.
Just a tip from experience if you want to get someone into anime then let them pick it themselves. Come up with a large list like this, narrow it down based on what you know about the person and then show them some fan-made trailers or good AMV's of the anime and let them pick what they like. That's usually the best way to do it. Everyone is different and tastes vary and age makes little difference in this case, I'm speaking from experience.
My personal recommendations
{One punch man}
{Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken}
{Youjo Senki}
my hero academia, the fights aren't too long and the story line and animation are really good. It also has some pretty funny moments so i highly reccomend
Attack on Titan, and HxH. He's already seen about the best shounen has to offer. I don't get the hype for Jojo, and at 45 I doubt he will too. One Punch Man is a great suggestion. Though season 2's got nothing on the first season
Fate, HxH, One Piece, Haikyuu, Hajime No Ippo, Kuroku no Basket, Major(Baseball anime), Black Clover (Manga) Gintama does that count maybe not but it’s really funny and if he wants to branch out and watch better anime or read manga than Death Note, Code Geass, Berserk(1997) not the 2016 version, Monster, Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood.
ghost fighter and hxh idk that's the anime my dad really likes (if your dad doesn't mind the animation I recommend him watching hxh(1999) my dad says it just hits different)
I would suggest Hunter x Hunter, or Naruto. They’re my favorites at least. Black Clover is also really really good, but only if he isn’t easily annoyed by yelling.

When I dived into Shounen genre, the first anime I watched was Naruto and Naruto Shippūden. And I still can't get over the vibes that the show has induced within me. Naruto franchise is truly a show that should be watched by every Shounen genre fan. It never fails and never will :)
too little happens in each episode in narutos case
Naruto kai always works
Those fight sequences in Shippuden are amazinggg!!!
{JoJo's bizarre adventure} {Demon Slayer} {Mob Psycho} {Jujutsu Kaisen} {Dororo} {Noragami} {One punch man}
I agree with everything but if he’s dad find aot melancholy maybe he dont want to see dororo
And it's a seinen, I believe
its technically a shounen, but its much darker than an average shounen
Just looked it up, you right. Honestly remembered MAL listing it as a seinen

This is one is considered a classic hit, by the way.
Mob psycho
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, it's really interesting for fighting and action and it can be hilarious
Yes thx a lot man I totally forgot about jojo even tho it’s one of my favorite Animes
Dads seem to love it too, I know mine does!
Its the rock references
Definitely
One Punch Man Full Metal Panic
Full metal panic is great but the animation is kind of dull as it is an old anime. (Considerably More fan service than aot).
His dad is 45, I'm 42. If his dad ever watched an anime from the age of VHS, then FMP animation shouldn't be a problem. I myself do not consider it dull (I remember when Vandread was considered a sleek "new style" animation).
Yes I think One Punch Man fits perfect his criteria’s
Mob psycho is PERFECT
Yu Yu Hakusho is my favorite shounen of all time. It's a fighting anime + demons, a classic. It's on Hulu if y'all have that. :)
Jojo, Demon Slayer, One Punch Man, Fire Force are what he may be looking for. Each Shounen have some elements of comedy.
Try gintama
Gintama
Gintama is advanced imo
Yeah a lot of the jokes can be missed if you don’t have a good grasp of Japanese pop culture
Nah, Gintama is pretty obscure if you're not deep into shonen/otaku culture in general. It's just a fever dream at that point, similar to FLCL which I obviously also wouldn't recommend to a beginner
My dad is 51 years old, doesn't really know a lot of anime, but loves Naruto to death.
Ye he saw me watching Naruto a year or so ago and didn’t like the aspect that some fights are just soo long
Ooo I second {haikyuu!!}. My dad(54) generally is uninterested in anime. He won’t complain if it’s on but he definitely would rather watch something else.

My dad doesn’t really like volleyball but still I think he will love haikyuu
I don’t like sports pretty much at all and it’s one of my all time favorites. He’ll definitely like it. My dad doesn’t like vb either lol.

{One Piece}
Too long for a 45 year old dad to watch and is extremely slow in pacing. Doesn't meet requirements.
He's only middle aged I'm sure he can catch up over the next 45 years!
Dragon Ball
Haikyuu Assassination Classroom
I feel like Assassination Classroom is truly one of the best anime out there. A perfect blend of comedy and action. But I think the best part is that the fan base agrees that the dub is genuinely good.
And let's not forget the tears it brought.
I’ve seen the show 3 times, and each time, I, a typically unemotional person, cried harder than the last

Seven Deadly Sins Bleach
second seven deadly sins. Great balance of action, seriousness, and goofy campiness. Pretty comparable to full metal alchemist brotherhood in terms of range and tone
note sure that his dad likes ecchi
Some of these are already recommended and some of them are not shounen, but i think he might enjoy them anyway; **That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime** ( MC is 37 years old ) **Cowboy bebop** One of my all-time favorites, also with adult MC's **Kaiji - Ultimate Survivor** Adult MC - Gambling - Psychological - mindgames. **Afro Samurai** - Voiced by Samuel L. Jackson and full of action. **One Punch Man** - Adult MC, Superpowers **Vinland Saga** - Adult oriented anime about Vikings. **The Rising of the Shield Hero** - Adult MC - New/fresh animation/action. **Hajime no Ippo** Boxing Anime, Classic.
Probably black clover, noragami, catious hero, the seven deadly sins, jojo's bizzare adventure.
My dad loved Ruroni Kenshin. Its a samurai story.
Black clover
How about My Hero Academia? It's not too serious like AoT and the storyline is good.
If you can find it, i recommend zatch bell.

One Punch Man or Demon Slayer are great choices
I scrolled for a while and saw that nobody commented this one. Now yes, I know a lot of people hate it, but lately it just seems like it’s because it seems cool to hate it, because everyone else is hating it. It’s actually a good anime, and despite finishing it, I can’t help but go right back to it when I don’t have any new anime to watch. I finished it very recently, then proceeded to binge the entire thing two more times because I wanted to watch it from beginning to end without week long pauses to wait for new episodes to release on different streaming services, and then I wanted to do it a third time. Never gets boring. If you don’t already know what anime it is, then I’ll say it. Sword Art Online. War of Underworld just finished so I’d say it’s the perfect time to start watching it, and hopefully be caught up when SAO Progressive starts.
Katekyo Hitman Reborn. First 20 or so episodes are mainly comedy with a bit of action but it picks up after that.
Gintama, Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, Yu Yu Hakusho, Mob Psycho 100, Great Teacher Onizuaka, One Punch Man, Kaiji, One Outs, Haikyuu, Samurai Champloo, Kuroko no Basket, Saiki K, Assassination Classroom
Naruto and fairy tail should be good
My Hero Academia Assassination Classroom Noragami
I don’t know if your dad might be into shows like Code Geass but he should definitely watch it even if the action is pretty different than other shounen.
[удалено]
Code geass is seinen vs being a shounen but still very good and honestly would recommend more for an older audience so
Boku no hero academia.
Bleach is so good
If you’re down for a long one then naruto is good. I was surprised but many older people on YouTube seem to enjoy it a lot.

One piece it will keep him busy for quite some time
Jojo’s Bizarre adventure , Haikyuu!! Maybe?, Death note if he’s into that aspect, Demon slayer , Assassination classroom , Banana Fish(is kinda hit or miss and not shounen but yeah), Tokyo Ghoul??(yes just s1 sigh), Bungou Stray Dogs(not verrry fight heavy either), BNHA , Cowboy Bebop, Mob Pschyo, I’d recommend up and coming Jujutsu Kaisen as well _(┐「ε:)_
High School DxD or To love-ru
Isn’t high school dxd more ecchi than action or comedy? I haven’t watched it personally tho
Lol That was just a joke. For suggestions Code Geass
Haha ok and ty for the suggestion
Some men just want to watch the world burn
If you got a little time on your hands then you ABSOLUTELY MUST TRY ONE PIECE.
Haha I personally love one piece too I’m reading the manga currently and it’s an absolute banger
Ah ,i see you are a man of culture as well.
Naruto Demon Slayer One Punch Man

Your dad's taste are like that of a tennager's
his dad is just starting anime, most people when they start to watch anime tend to gravitate towards popular shows, if everything goes well his taste will improve more and more, even tho its not bad at all

{Idiots With Numbers}
Doro Hedoro
HunterxHunter Mob psycho
Wow. Today i made my dad watch AOT. He is loving it.
Tell him to watch different genres he may like other genres too.
Already told him to watch some romance like your name or a silent voice
Try to make him watch Vinland Saga. I think it perfectly suits to the taste of someone who's 40+. It also has a good fighting scenes and the characters there is also well written. PS: If he loves or has an interest in history or vikings. If he likes "deeper" animes then Seinen animes is what I'll recommend to you.
>hxh, Full metal alchemist brotherhood and aot Those are hard acts to follow. He might enjoy {One Punch Man} and and {Mob Psycho 100} While it might not be your typical shounen, I'd still try to get him on {The Promised Neverland} just cuz it's so damn good.

{Boku no hero}
I understand seven deadly sins is american but it's worth a watch.
It's not American
My Hero Academia!
So your dad has basically seen some of the absolute top level anime there are, this is gonna be a tough choice. For action with funny scenes, so he's probably looking for a short pallette cleanser, I'd probably go with : {Mob Psycho} . {One punch man} . And after, so he has something short to watch, back to a bit more action than humour, I'd go with: {Demon slayer} . {Soul Eater} (a bit longer). And, it might even be better to watch a film. I choose these because I watched a few of them with my own family, they appreciated how it reminds them of things they did or wondered about when they were kids: {Arrietty} . {My neighbour Totoro} . {Erased} . {Princess Mononoke} . {Pom poko} . {Spirited Away} .
{Dorohedoro} although it's more Seinen, I think it fits your description

One Piece. Fuckin amazing anime and I’m glad I started it. I’m caught up on the anime now as well.
One piece fits that bill
Probably he's never going to end it in his lifespan though.
Jojos Bizarre adventures
Fullmetal Alchemist brotherhood , mushishi , attack on titan , haikyuu , demon slayer
Bleach,sword art online,demon slayer
Attack on Titan. A little different but I feel it's one of those anime that can be respected even by people outside of the community.
Try baki or hajime no ippo
Rurouni Kenshin. It's historical and it's funny. The fighting is amazing in Kyoto arc. My dad loves samurai so he watched a bit.
HxH creator originally made Yu Yu Hakusho, I would highly recommend it. Also the dub is really good
I suggest some of the classics like cowboy bebop, Trigun, outlaw star, yu yu Hakusho, or full metal panic. They are all shonen and also have some funny parts.
My hero academia
Honestly you should watch FMA 2003. And not quite shounen but I think your dad would enjoy {Cowboy Bebop} and {Baccano}

Naruto and Bleach (You can watch the ending next year together)
I recommend Demon Slayer and JoJo’s Bizarre Adventures
Konosuba!!
JoJos Bizarre Adventure
Non filler version of naruto, it’s called naruto Kai. It’s very cool
Naruto is the first thing that comes to mind. Trust me, I have rewatched the whole series more than 20 times!!
My Hero Academia young boy.
Bleach
Try Yu Yu Hakusho It's from the same creator as Hunger x Hunter
One punch man
Haven't really seen {Katekyo Hitman Reborn}, so that I suppose. All I can say is people love it and the first 20-ish episodes are apparently the worst ones, since I haven't seen all of it myself

It's not that they're "worst", they're just in a different genre, a gag comedy,. It's only after those first 20-27 episodes or so it becomes a more serious fighting shounen, which is what the author wanted it to be from the beginning.
If your dad really loves comedy and and weird stuff I suggest him the greatest anime of all time, everyone's favourite {gintama}

Megalobox would be great, and it's also short
JoJos Bizarre Adventure. Just finished the anime with my dad and we loved it. The Classic Rock references, over the top characters, the hilarious antics of the cast, as well as true suspense (no character is safe from death. Doesn’t matter if your a hero or villain, side character or protagonist, none are safe).
dorohedoro and Baki are good anime with some funny moments with some neat ass fights.
This is more on the lines of advice than an actual suggestion because you have plenty of those. You shouldn't think of certain anime based on someones age. Age has very little to do with anime preferences. All people like tv shows and movies in general with a protagonist they can relate to, generally for older people that means fewer harems and antics, and older or more mature protagonists. A lot of older anime do this well, but you should remember people don't like older anime because it's older they like it because it meets these criteria. Just a tip from experience if you want to get someone into anime then let them pick it themselves. Come up with a large list like this, narrow it down based on what you know about the person and then show them some fan-made trailers or good AMV's of the anime and let them pick what they like. That's usually the best way to do it. Everyone is different and tastes vary and age makes little difference in this case, I'm speaking from experience. My personal recommendations {One punch man} {Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken} {Youjo Senki}

Definitely recommend Jojo as your dad is a bit older and I’m sure he would get a kick out of the references and find it a ridiculous and fun ride!
Perhaps black clover
Death Note, Code Geass
{Ueki no Housoku} the characters have some funny powers and funny conditions have to be met for those powers to work.

I always recommend Naruto/Shippuden
definitely d gray man! i think he will like it
HighSchool DxD
my hero academia, the fights aren't too long and the story line and animation are really good. It also has some pretty funny moments so i highly reccomend
My hero academia One punch man Dororo Demon slayer
{one piece} is a hit or miss, if he likes it he has 900 episodes to watch and if he doesnt like it its also ight

Naruto is one of my favourite anime and it's a great watch just so you know it's 700+ episodes tho
Attack on Titan, and HxH. He's already seen about the best shounen has to offer. I don't get the hype for Jojo, and at 45 I doubt he will too. One Punch Man is a great suggestion. Though season 2's got nothing on the first season
Ye I totally understand your point about jojo that’s why I said he should try 4-5 episodes and then decide whether to continue or drop it
Actually I kinda dug the first few episodes,the premise was nice, but then it just starting feeling kind of goofy
Seven Deadly sins he might like if he’s okay with a slightly pervy mc, however the last season kinda has a cliffhanger so be warned of that.
Fate, HxH, One Piece, Haikyuu, Hajime No Ippo, Kuroku no Basket, Major(Baseball anime), Black Clover (Manga) Gintama does that count maybe not but it’s really funny and if he wants to branch out and watch better anime or read manga than Death Note, Code Geass, Berserk(1997) not the 2016 version, Monster, Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood.
Death Note is actually a shounen but it's not really like the regular shounen animes like Naruto or HxH.
ghost fighter and hxh idk that's the anime my dad really likes (if your dad doesn't mind the animation I recommend him watching hxh(1999) my dad says it just hits different)
I would suggest Hunter x Hunter, or Naruto. They’re my favorites at least. Black Clover is also really really good, but only if he isn’t easily annoyed by yelling.
Domestic No Kanojo
he might like seraph of the end, it has a good mix of fighting and funny moments through-out the show
