Action anime and shounen: different routes to a good watch

Jujutsu Kaisen, Demon Slayer and My Hero Academia feature combat and character growth, but differ in setting and tone. Haikyu!! shows that shounen-style excitement can also come from sport.

Shounen is a demographic, not a synonym for violence. Inspect length and content warnings. Personal preference matters more than a claim that one title should appeal to everyone.
