OK then I guess??

I think this goes to show how meaningless the term "shonen" is in describing a series. Although I have to admit usually people mean fighting series.

Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember them, you are not alone.

Considering it refers the intended reader age and pretty much nothing more...

Western demographics are split along the same lines.

Fist Of The North Star, Devilman and Claymore are pretty much the only shonen series worth watching.

[up]Claymore's not really worth watching, it's only worth reading. Although I suppose I may be interpreting your statement too literally.

Oh, right, Claymore's Shonen too isn't it? -Double checks-

Ran in Shonen Jump of all places. And here i thought dismemberment fetishists stuck to seinen.

You are not alone.

I thought Claymore was seinen too when I first read it. But yeah, it's shonen.

In order:

Hunter X Hunter used to be higher on the list, but then Meryem started getting really annoying.

Just for perspective, Aria ran in a Shonen magazine.

I'll try again:

No "current" shounen is even close to as good as these IMO:

Yu Yu Hakusho is the best. I wish it had attained the fame of DBZ as it more richly deserves it. Just a perfect cast of characters and so many great fights.

Rurouni Knshin is also very good, sporting many interesting characters and a pretty good story.

Dragon Ball (that is, everything BEFORE the "lulz you're from outer space!" nonsense) is also good.
