Man, when you said the gag anime part was over and you hadn't mentioned Gintama, I nearly died inside until you made it the butt of the joke. That truly is where Gintama belongs so thank you.

"slightly warmer hands" could be such a curse in baking depending on what you're making
@ade1174
Light taking a potato chip and eating it is unironically one of the most iconic moments not only in shonen but in all of anime.
@shinygekkouga52
I think every battle manga needs gags, but not every gag manga needs battles. This is the power of gag supremacy!
@thomasffrench363
I don't know if it still is that way, but in Japan there was at least a certain period of time when gag manga was more synonymous with Shonen than battle series.

Ever since I found out Ancient Magus Bride technically runs in a Shounen magazine (to my great surprise), any time I hear "shounen manga" my brain immediately and faultlessly goes straight to Ancient Magus Bride.

Hikaru no Go is one of the greatest stories to ever grace Shonen Jump. I used to clown on it for being so tropey and over-the-top, but its readability was its greatest strength. It was my Ping Pong the animation

Fun fact about AlphaGo, the Go computer Jeff mentions. It did take 2 decades after Deep Blue to beat the world's best Go player. But within the last few years, humans have started to beat it again. It's actually to a point where a switched on amateur, with the right instructual guide, can beat the super computer. Soooo still can't beat us!
@kathycoleman4648
Many people mistakenly think that shonen means 'fight' and shojo means 'romance'. But in actuality, shonen means young / teen boy, and shojo young / teen girl. They're categories, like YA, middle grade, fiction, non-fiction, adult. Not genres like romance, fantasy, sci-fi, or thriller.
@PredictableEnigma
Coleen's Manga Reccs is the shoujo version of this video. Shonen isn't just battle. Shoujo isn't just romance.
@SappyZoe
Ruri Dragon, a manga by a newcomer, still being hot after a year of hiatus, after just 6 chapters, sounds completely unbelievable. Except I was part of that from day 1 and I'm so happy it's finally back on!
@clearspira
I actually cried when Jiraiya died. I didn't wail or anything, but I shed a tear. I came close when I saw Naruto alone on his swing the first time too due to my own personal experiences. Do not ever dare to tell me that Shonen is just big guys screaming and fighting each other because it is so much more.

The "shikanoko nokonoko koshitantan" gag went on longer than I could have ever imagined and I love it
@robertfaulkkner5508
This is Geoff’s own take to “Non-Battle Battle Anime” by Super Eyepatch Wolf from like five years ago. I’m all for it.
@Getwright-
On of my favorite current battle manga started out as a gag manga. Sakamoto Days Started out beimg all, look at this fat schluby convenient store clerk who’s actually really a competent former hitman, to being about all the most powerful human on the planet fighting each other
@poputchik4910
Words can't express how happy I am to see ruri dragon on the thumbnail
@plushdragonteddy
the bits in this video are so good. the gag anime gag. the deadpan commitment to naruto running despite refusing to get up from your office chair at the end. impeccable
@Ash_Wen-li
I peeped the footage of Hikaru no Go at the end. Crazy someone else talked about it cause the only other person I've heard mention it was a friend. It's gonna be the next anime I watch
