What Is the Best New Gen Anime/Manga?
Let’s have a thoughtful discussion about what truly stands out as the best new generation anime or manga released after 2015. Here’s how we’re framing this conversation:
Time Frame: Only works that debuted after 2015 are being considered. Classics like Attack on Titan or One Piece are out—they’re not new gen.
All Genres Open: Whether it’s shonen, seinen, romance, slice of life, or even an underrated isekai, everything is on the table.
Criteria: Focus on what makes your pick the best. It could be plot depth, character arcs, art, cultural impact, or even just how much it resonated with you personally.
Respect the Opinions: Not everyone will agree, but that’s the beauty of this discussion. Let’s keep it mature and respectful while debating.
Some examples of notable new gen titles:
Jujutsu Kaisen
Chainsaw Man
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba
Blue Lock
Oshi no Ko
Solo Leveling
Spy x Family
The Rising of the Shield Hero
There are so many great titles to choose from, and the diversity in what people value—be it narrative complexity or sheer entertainment—is what makes this an exciting topic. So, what’s your pick, and what makes it stand out as the best of this generation? Let’s hear your takes!
