I understand not getting into shonen titles anymore, I pretty much feel the same. That said, I think it's funny that your examples of things you can't get into because are the two things that renewed my love for anime/manga.

I mean, Haikyuu is definitely a shonen title, but it avoids the tropes that annoy me the most about sports anime and I had no trouble getting into it (as opposed to Kuroko no Basket, for example). But I love volleyball so HQ would have had to be really awful to make me not like it. OPM is a parody of the shonen/superhero genre, so the typical tropes are almost always lampshaded or subverted. I've known about it for ages but ignored it because I thought it was your typical shonen title. I actually love it.

I cannot understand the appeal of haikyuu anymore. I really thought I'd love it in the beginning, but then it just lost it's heart somewhere along the line. That shiratorizawa match really killed my interest in it to the point of dropping it. I couldn't bring myself to care about the opposing team or Tsukishima so a 40+ chapters long match murdered my soul. It really doesn't help that haikyuu has no SoL or downtime chapters in between important matches just to get to know the characters outside the sport, it's just back to back intense matches.

I dunno. Maybe it's something that only appeals to volleyball players. I tend to prefer sports series that can balance both the sport and character building better.

Yeah I was a little baffled when they mentioned One Punch Man. Maybe they don't like it precisely because they love shounen so much? I've seen a lot of DBZ fans (mostly DBZ for some reason) pissed off because they feel it's "making fun of them", but the sort of affectionate reverence ONE and Murata have for the genre is going completely over their heads. I can see where if you take shounen 100% seriously that OPM could leave a bad taste in your mouth, but honestly I think the series is pretty incredible. It's a parody with legs of it's own.
