When discussing anime, shonen more times than not takes the spotlight with titles like Dragon Ball Z, My Hero Academia, Demon Slayer, and Jujutsu Kaisen all falling into this popular genre. Shonen, meaning 'boy' in Japanese, traditionally targets a younger male audience and is known for its intense battles, interesting characters, and gripping story arcs. However, there are various other anime genres, including shojo, magical girl with female protagonists possessing magical powers, mecha focusing on robots or human-controlled robotic machines, and the often overlooked slice-of-life. As the name suggests, slice-of-life anime focuses on the mundane daily lives of its characters, featuring activities like cooking, cleaning, and working.
