Many anime titles on the streaming giant Crunchyroll are short and concise, such as Chainsaw Man, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Spy x Family. Other titles on Crunchyroll prioritize both quality and quantity.
These series offer loyal fans endless episodes of high-quality content. Both in the long term and on an episode-by-episode basis, these long-running shows are enjoyable to watch and are among the flagship series on the platform.

Among the notable absentees are the legendary and ultra-long Pokémon, now available on Netflix, as well as Bleach, which moved from Crunchyroll to Hulu a few years ago, including its "Thousand-Year Blood War" arc. There are still other anime titles that rank among the best and most significant on Crunchyroll, each having 100 episodes or more, with some even surpassing 1,000 episodes.
10. Naruto is the epic story of an oppressed ninja
The successful anime Naruto is not only one of the longest but also one of the best available on Crunchyroll. From start to finish, Naruto is filled with deep emotional resonance: the protagonist, Naruto Uzumaki, seeks not only to prove himself but also to bring peace to the world through Jiraya's dream. The intimate dynamic of Team 7 adds to the emotional depth of Naruto.
Additionally, Naruto features one of the best combat systems in anime, with characters wielding powerful jutsu like the Rasengan, the Sharingan, and stunning kekkei genkai throughout their battles. Strength alone is not enough for the heroes to win the many battles in Naruto—they must also display ingenuity and subtlety, as Shikamaru Nara demonstrates in each fight.
9. My Hero Academia explores societal issues through superpowers
In recent years, My Hero Academia has established itself as one of the best shonen anime available on Crunchyroll, and even on any other streaming platform. While conventional in many ways, My Hero Academia continues to impress anime fans with its delightful mix of superhero and school genres, all enhanced by a poignant societal commentary that gives the series a deeper thematic dimension.
At a certain point, Izuku Midoriya, the protagonist, has much more on his mind than mastering the "One For All" quirk. Deku and his friends must struggle against an increasing wave of malice following All Might's retirement, rooted in deeply ingrained inequalities that the heroes have failed to resolve. The society of heroes was built on fragile foundations, and everyone is about to pay the price, but peace is still possible.
8. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure improves with each story arc
It's true that the sixth arc of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is available on Netflix rather than Crunchyroll, but even without this season, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure remains one of the longest and most successful anime on Crunchyroll. Fans might find it convenient to start the Joestar adventure on Crunchyroll and then finish it on Netflix with the Stone Ocean arc.
One of the reasons JoJo's has lasted so long is its structure of story arcs, which allows the story to refresh with each transition. No arc ever feels stagnant, and if anime fans are not convinced by the style or characters of one arc, they can try another. Additionally, starting from the third part, JoJo's offers fans some of the most satisfying battles ever seen in a shonen anime, where Stand users rely on their clever powers and ingenuity rather than artificial boosts to win.
7. Dragon Ball covers several major eras of Son Goku's life.
For several decades, the legendary anime Dragon Ball has been a staple in the industry and continues to win over new fans with its captivating action. In the 1980s and 1990s, the Dragon Ball franchise marked a historic milestone for shonen anime, establishing or refining countless themes and ideas, from the power of friendship to training arcs, power levels, and transformations.
The original Dragon Ball anime will particularly appeal to anime fans who enjoy a mix of action and comedy with young heroes, while Dragon Ball Z marks a starting point with much more intense and dramatic action. This is where the Dragon Ball franchise reached its peak, propelling the power of shonen anime to unprecedented heights, both on Earth and Namek. The most loyal fans were then richly rewarded with Dragon Ball Super, which brought together new and familiar characters in the incredible Tournament of Power.
6. Gintama blends comedy, references, and cool action
The successful anime Gintama is much more than just a comedic and humorous anime, although it is also that, and in the best way possible. In a few hundred episodes, Gintama has elevated animated comedy to an art form, making it much more than generic visual gags or overused clichés found in other anime. In Gintama, humor is deceptively intense and skillfully handled, with many scenes offering a sincere and elegant homage to other shonen anime.
To top it off, Gintama also delivers excellent action sequences for fans, as serious and thrilling as they are wacky, providing a refreshing change of pace for shonen fans used to the "big three." All of this is supported by the quirky swordsman hero Gin Sakata and his eccentric friends as they venture through an alien-dominated Earth where swords are banned.
5. Yu-Gi-Oh! is the best card game anime in the world
With over 200 episodes, the hit anime Yu-Gi-Oh! will delight shonen fans on Crunchyroll, and that’s just the original series. The platform also offers Yu-Gi-Oh! GX and the 5D's series, which revisit the Duel Monsters formula with duelist academies and even motorcycle duels.
Any anime fan who has experienced action-packed series like Dragon Ball will appreciate how Yu-Gi-Oh! channels all that competitive energy into a new format: strategic card games. This gives Yu-Gi-Oh! the feel of a true shonen anime while offering suspenseful duels where the right card at the right time can make all the difference. The anime will also thrill fans of tournament arcs and universes.
4. Detective Conan is a rich and rewarding detective anime with Jimmy Kudo
The most impressive thing about the anime Detective Conan is the freshness of its mind-boggling mysteries, even after hundreds of episodes. Few animated series are able to captivate viewers' attention after so many episodes, and even fewer feature cleverly written mysteries that require a lot of time and effort from the creators to craft.
Surprisingly, the Detective Conan anime makes it seem so easy, and the franchise has been doing this since the 1990s. In addition to countless mysteries, Detective Conan has a personal angle with its detective hero, who went from being a young man to a child, and he must eventually find those responsible and fix what they did to him all those episodes ago.
3. Fairy Tail introduces fans to the many members of the Fairy Tail guild
Although overshadowed by its shonen competitors on Crunchyroll, the Fairy Tail anime remains a charming spectacle for those looking for a traditional combat shonen to comfort them. Fairy Tail isn’t 100% refined, but it offers captivating content, such as a colorful cast of heroes, a diverse magic combat system, and a whimsical plot where anything can happen.
Shonen anime fans who enjoy direct and sentimental stories will appreciate how Fairy Tail emphasizes the power of friendship and self-confidence. For Natsu, Lucy, and all their friends, a battle must be won internally before it can be won externally. If anime fans want even more, they can try Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest, which is much shorter but moves at a faster pace.
2. One Piece sets sail across the many islands of Grand Line
One Piece remains one of the longest and most successful anime available on Crunchyroll, and all that time works in its favor. Other animated series might lose steam or go in circles at this point, but One Piece has only gotten stronger by building its world and story over these episodes.
This means that while One Piece’s early adventures are fun and whimsical, the later story arcs are supported by previous tales, giving the story a sense of interconnectedness. Each island in the Grand Line ends up feeling relevant, not only within its own narrative arc but also in the broader story, making the One Piece universe alive and even more immersive.
1. Hunter x Hunter became famous for its Nen combat system
Hunter x Hunter had a solid anime adaptation in the late 1990s, but the 2011 version is even better, and fans might consider it the definitive version, while also being the longer of the two. It’s worth noting that even though new Hunter x Hunter content has slowed down, the franchise maintains a loyal fanbase, and the anime is worth watching, even though it lacks a proper ending.
The number of episodes and the quality of content in Hunter x Hunter more than make up for the unfinished nature of the franchise, and shonen fans are encouraged to check it out. They will discover a colorful and imaginative universe of Hunter heroes and a Nen combat system, one of the most creative and flexible in all of shonen, which is no small feat. Fans will also appreciate watching Gon, the innocent hero, gradually become more angry and imposing as he faces shocking losses throughout his journey, giving his arc a strong sense of progression.
