I'm wondering if there are any mentionable all-age shounen series' out there with some of these specifications:
- Carefree and wacky male lead and can be serious and badass in times of drama and/or battles. Would also like it if they hold little to no interest in girls and relationships.
- Female lead if there is one does not overshadow the male lead, but at the same time isn't pointless.
- Romance is either entirely absent or downplayed.
- I know fanservice-free would be asking too much when it comes to anime/manga (ecpecially shounen), but one with as little as possible would be nice.
- Humour and drama are nicely balanced if drama is present. Is not afraid to get incredibly wacky/cartoony at times, and while not neccecary can be a real tear-jerker at times.
- I don't really care about the art style, so anything since perhaps the late-80's will be fine.
- Longer the better. I'll be entertained longer in that case.
That should be about it I think. I'm pretty sure I have a few more specifications but I can't think of them right now.
And before you all say Naruto or Bleach, I'll say right now I've already decided long ago that I won't watch or read either series, so don't bother.
Namely the 3 I'm familiar with with these qualities listed above are One Piece, Dragon Ball and Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo.
