If you’re a fan of action anime and manga featuring epic fights and incredible powers, then you’ve probably come across a Shonen Jump title. The industry’s most renowned magazine, Shonen Jump is a weekly manga anthology that captures the hearts of young people, from toddlers to teenagers. But its success extends far beyond its original target demographic, attracting fans of all ages and genders.
Proof of this are the many successful works that came out of the pages of Shonen Jump, such as Dragon Ball and Knights of the Zodiac, which have become icons of pop culture and marked generations. And many of these stories have also been transformed into equally successful animations, which can now be seen on streaming platforms.
Netflix, in particular, stands out as a major platform for anime fans. With this in mind, I have prepared a list of the 8 best anime based on Shonen Jump manga available on the platform!
