I can't wait for Golden Kamuy to return this Autumn.
Essential What Anime are you currently watching?
Dude the first episode had me hooked. It reminds me of the game Valkyria Chronicles with a 17th century twist to the show
. This year been kinda trash anime wise besides Pop Team Epic and Megalo box, but this show has some promise to it.
Yuske is my favorite shonen protagonist. As much as I like HxH gon is kind of a selfish bytch. Naruto is gay for Sasuke. I like dekku and see the potential but he cries a lot. Natsu is annoying. Goku pre Dragon ball super was iight but in super he is extremely one dimensional. Just wants to fight no matter what. Luffy is good but can be a little too simple minded sometimes.
Yuske is a bad ass from the start. Takes no shyt from anyone but deep down he's a good guy and they show you all that from the first episode. He's not a complete goody two shoes though admits when he fukks up and doesnt know what he wants to do with his life. He's more layered than the traditional shonen protagonist of "I wanna be hokage" "I wanna fight strong people!" "I'm gonna be king of the pirates!" "My magic is never giving up!"

I have no idea what Valkyria is, however, I've heard of the name. Is the anime about war?
Yeah it's basically a typical side vs side war like anime. It's seriously based on a smartphone game though lol.
Exactly. Yusuke doesn't have any goals in life, he only wants to discover himself and be understood by those around him like any other teenager. His mom is an alcoholic, his dad is never around, his teachers are corrupt and assume the worst of him. Only way he can express himself and seek confirmation is through fighting, and he eventually finds an outlet through his work as a spirit detective. There's more relatability and nuance to Yusuke than just about any shounen lead out there. Him being such an outlier is a reason YYH is seen as one of the GOAT anime, not even getting into the battle arcs, villains, balanced power system and the other three great main characters alongside him.

Yeah I was aware of the Ainu before seeing Golden Kamuy, but it was mainly brief info the are articles that state that Ainu face discrimination till this day the Japanese society.
I completely disagree that YYH is just a nostagia wave, I rewatched it + completed it in full just last year and can say it and HXH 2011 are the best of the genre by a wide margin ( I'd actually have Kenshin 3rd making up the way). The writing + characters backgrounds/development as well as fight and whole vibe of show is as good as you can get in a Shounen

Wtf u talkin bout? Ya Bish
yea i dont see yu yu as some nostalgia shyt. Mostly because i watched it waaaaaaaaay later than most ppl. I didnt even know it was on during the dbz days cuz all i watched was dbz. I didnt watch it til like a decade ago probably and i fukking loved it. It was just so refreshing to watch a show that showed everyone holding their own and not just the MC getting wins. Every character had strategies and feats to defeat different opponents and it was just dope af. Plus im a sucker for tournaments and this show had one of the GOAT tournaments ever. Im actually rewatching it now because of the dude on this board. shyt got me all up in my feelings right from the jump and i love this shyt 
.....if u dont like YYH u dont like shounen. Period
