I’d agree with this. It feels like Shounen + the first anime a lot of millennials watched or really cut their teeth on.
Of specifically TV shows I think Evangelion, Dragon Ball Z, Full Metal Alchemist, Death Note, Attack on Titan, and Cowboy Bebop should be on this list.
Everything else could be purged. There is just a lot of overlap.
We should add some rom/com. I’d be partial to add Love is War.
At this point I would consider just waiting for when the series gets reanimated in The One Piece.
Or read the manga. I watched the first 150 or so episodes before the pacing issues really started showing up, then made the switch to print media.
They’re really quite cute! I love them.
So I have set up my son with a pick of the litter.
He has access to pretty much any GBA game + DS game thanks to some emulator handhelds.
Additionally he plays our shared copies of Scarlet, Arceus, Let’s Go Eevee, or Sword.
So far the one he has had the most fun with are the GBA games.
Important to note, he loves the multiplayer aspect of Scarlet and Violet and really likes to do raid battles and double battles with random Pokemon he finds.
He has yet to beat a game or even fully defeat gym leaders from any game he has started.
Champions was the only slightly interesting thing about this direct. It was just so much fluff.
Despite it’s flaws, I actually really like DBZ Kai as an alternative to the original run.
