People do realize shonen is a demographic and not a genre right?
Light novel adaptations are what's killing anime.

Yep. Same here.
Anime has changed. Not sure why ppl are giving the OP shit.
im not saying anime today sucks i just feel as if it just doesnt grab me the same way. for some other people this is probably the best time for anime.What's with GAF's recent tirade against anime? This is like the 3rd "Aniime today sucks" thread this week.
EDIT: Also OP, you should try watching Psycho-Pass. It's some good shit I tell ya.
i mean.....superhero comics shouldn't exist either.Asking why Shonen is still a thing is like asking why Superhero comics still exist.
I don't know.... I started watching dragon ball for the first time last week and I am really enjoying it. Meanwhe, I can't stand the trash anime that is being produced now.
some action shit with mediocre to decent story backing it.What are you into op?

there is some anime now i really fuck with it but their over now so im just like "time to find some new shit" and it feels like its getter harder and harder to find some new good shit you feel me
jojo was a weird action shonen from the 90s surprised you didn't like it
Try BLAME! OR Ajin. They are action show with great story.some action shit with mediocre to decent story backing it.
I'm sure they are.Who else is willing to bet some of the OPs old favorites are technically Shonen?

There's plenty of good stuff in the vein of Dragonball nowadays (shonen action series). Hell, as someone who enjoyed Dragonball, I find it incredibly overrated in that regard

I think there's just more of it, so theres's more bad. 90% of everything is shit and all that.
i tried to watch db super but i got so heated i damn near threw my remote at the tvdragon ball super is fun
You realise mainstream battle shounen anime are equilavent to the cinema rather than comics right? Shounen manga exists and almost every single popular one is an adaptation.i mean.....superhero comics shouldn't exist either.
just go to the movies deadass
There's Berserk anime airing right now, should be right up your alley.
i tried to watch db super but i got so heated i damn near threw my remote at the tv
shit is mediocre imo espically in comparison to dbz and db. hell i would rather watch gt bro like cmon
some action shit with mediocre to decent story backing it.
Or these too. Especially One Punch Man.Try My Hero Academia, One Punch Man, Mob Psycho 100
I've got exactly what you're looking for, OP.
You're welcome.
Both art and writing really drove me up the wall.Steins Gate is legit greatness, but it admittedly takes a few episodes before it really picks up.

Probably the worst one after 7 deadly sins.
I get that one episode isnt great to jusde a show, but id be willing to give it more of my time if i was luke warm on it, not i outright hating everything about it.

Lately i tried to give every anime available on netflix a shot.
I watched ep1 of almost every one under the "anime" tag.
The only one that i found interesting enough to go through with, has been Death Note.
It's got some bullshit writing for a thriller, but its fun so far.
Ajin i also got a bit further but got bored.
Gurren Lagann looked visually cool too.
Every other one ranged from pretty bad, to shit.
Worst offenders were Stains Gate, Code Geass and 7 Deadly Sins.
Even one episode of these was hard to go through.
But i also watched Psycho pass, Attack on Titan, Ana something something, Eureka Seven, Kuromukuro.
Didnt like any of them, but at least a couple had good animation.
Could be that netflix only has bargain bin anime tho.
LN adaptations kill me because even when I actually find one I like, chances are you'll never to get to see how it ends.
Dat pedo market has nothing better to spend their autismbux on.
If you want an answer as to what happened to all of those crazy action OVAs aimed at adults that helped define the 90s, the answer is that the Japanese economy crashed and has been in the toilet for well over a decade. Those OVAs were somethibg of a bubble that formed when the Japanese economy was on top of the world in the 90s. Investors were speculating in the market, and just about anything could get the financing to be turned into a high-budget OVA. When the economy tanked, that bubble popped.
Japan has been suffering a mix of recessions and a near-permanent deflationary economy for years and years now. Currently, anime productions have shoe-string budgets built off the efforts of over-worked and underpaid animators. Most of the anime produced today are essentially ad campaigns paid for by book publishers to help market manga and light novels. Manga and Light Novels are a much bigger and healthier industry in Japan than anime. Anime-original productions live or die based on the sales of a few thousand overpriced DVDs/BluRays plus merchandising. As such, the only market that matters is the hard-core, which distorts how audiences are targeted.
EDIT: To reiterate the whole "anime are advertisements" concept, we are also witnessing the rise of anime adaptations of mobile gacha games.
Log Horizon.
