SYNOPSIS
On their next stop down the road of anime genres, the trio at The Other Side take a look at that classic, cliche-ridden, pre-programmed genre that is shonen. A genre unique to anime, shonen is a genre built on specific tropes and cliches. While not all titles classified as shonen use the building blocks given to it by Dragon Ball, the color-by-numbers shonen formula is one of the most ever-present in all of anime, and is something the boys at the Other Side just can’t ignore. So join Cody and Max (and maybe Andrew when he feels like chiming in) as they look through the formula Dragon Ball created, what works, what doesn’t, and how one shonen manga managed to out-do the infamous “The Heart” page from Bleach!
