I am the only one getting bored of Shonen anime?

I watched DBZ. One Piece, Naruto, FMA Brotherhood, Bleach, etc. When I was a kid I used to love anime with lots of fighting in them, now I'm 15 and I just find it boring, I really don't see what's so interesting about having lots of action all the time as opposed to actually writing a decent plot and interesting characters.

My favourite Shonen is Hunter X Hunter. Mainly because it tries to avoid Shonen cliches and find ways to be interesting without having to resort to unnecessary action scenes. It's actually well thought out and not very generic at all.

    I've been in that boat for the last 5 years or so. When I first got really into anime about 10 years or so ago, shounen stuff was pretty much all I watched, but I eventually came to realize the things that you are talking about. They're all the same. I still watch shounen stuff today, but I always avoid the cliched over hyped ones (the ones you mentioned at the beginning). Plus, I've got to where I much prefer a deep, mysterious, or emotional story as compared to just action.

    you're not the only one, in fact the whole world right now adoring plain talk chit chat discussion kind of animes,

    they are the dominate right now, because the whole world already agreed with you that action = boredom ,

    Don't you see even in theaters now action movies are about to be extinct? nobody paid a dollar to see Transformers, Gozilla, there are practically NOBODY pay for action movies and all swarm to see melo dramas chit-chats they are SO exciting, just hearing them babbling make me feel my blood burning

    I'm so looking forward to see no action animes

    Shounen* and it depends on the shounen anime whether or not it was a wimpy main character.

    Nope, but for me, it depends on the anime, not the genre
