It's been over 3 years since this came out. Is it still considered to be the best shonen manga?

No and it never was you faggot.
That's not medaka box
Calling it a shounen is an insult. It has surpassed the genre.
i'm not an autistic Any Forums "local" but i've read a shit load of manga and i liked chainsaw man the most
retards can seethe
Absolutely based. Glad Any Forums is finally realizing that CSM was a masterpiece all along.
what a trash list
>It has surpassed the genre
Not surpassed as much as finished.
It's like Evangelion to Mecha. I wouldn't call Eva the best mecha anime, but it did something the others didn't with the medium. That being said, battle shounen is the eternal genre. At best CSM will influence how the next ones are made vs NGE after which no better Mecha came after.
Would be if not for that shit ending
>demon slayer above jjk
both are bad, but cmon now
The ending is the only part that's good. Otherwise it's just BnHA passed through a 2010s HBO Original filter.
CSM has been the single best shonen manga for over 3 years now. There still hasn't been a better one and at this point there might as well never be one.
Hang on a moment CSM Schizo isn't supposed to post this until Burgers wake up in the morning!
>3 years now
>a long time
Zoomer, I...
Eva was a huge super robot/tokushit homage you moron lol. Its most original idea was referencing Freud, whose theories Tomino already integrated seamlessly and 10x more realistically in Zeta Gundam.
Mind explaining further?
>Super robot
>Not mecha
I didn't mention super/real robot nor did I exclude tokusatsu. Eva is a mecha anime. It has monster-of-the-week Toeizinger shit littering most of the series.
I agree with you fully; Tomino already explored what Eva did with Gundam (the similarities with 0079 are palpable). Anno (and everyone else) drew huge inspiration from Tomino. The style employed in Eva is not the same as Gundam, however. The more in-your-face symbols relaying Freudian and Jungian ideas is not the same as the more subtle hero's journey/tragedy vehicle used by Tomino, although he did dabble there with the newtype shit.
What's so smart about CSM is throughout the whole first 8 volumes Fujimoto is just throwing edginess and tired tropes both in terms of plot beats and the action sequences themselves (I couldn't stop laughing when when the Katana fiend teleported behind Denji) in such a shameless, over-the-top manner. He taps into his inner teenager and makes a gritty, gory, sexed-up version of the typical battle shounen stacked with a huge cast of characters and monsters with their own quirks and rules. He even sneaks in some harem shit with all kinds of cute girls entering Denji's life (oh, who is he gonna chose?! So cute!). Fujimoto even pretends the story is driven by some cheap, transparent anti-gun message wrapped up in the Gun Devil.
What happens next is what makes it such a masterpiece. Fujimoto throws it all in the trash and shows you the real theme and the real moving character moments that have been built steadily despite the relatively fast pace of the story. He finally shows a deeper idea - the aspect of how just seeking comfort in food, boobies, and some bing-bang wahoo fun isn't enough for a fulfilling life. It makes you less than a man, into a dog.
Clean your room faggot
the hype for the anime will shake the earth by its foundation
HOLY FUCKIN SHIT, atack on titan? suck my cock with your jew propaganda. kimetsu no yaiba? miss me with your tragic back stories and micheal jackson villian. full metal alchemist being 2nd best anime in the world? comedy gold.

>the amount of cosplaying girls
So true. The cosplays are easy. Dress shirt/pants, tie, wig, contacts. Then their pick of horns, eyepatch if they're going beyond Makima. Maybe Reze and some of Quanxi's gals are unique looking.
