Looking for good shounen anime to watch?
I’ve watched Naruto shippuden, bleach, hitman reborn, d gray man, Soul eater, Code geass and FMA brotherhood.
The anime must be a shonen (I’m not interested in shojo and I’m not old enough for a sienen) and it must have good animation quality and be made in either 2007, 2008 or 2009. Please help find some?
Busou Renkin
One night, Kazuki Muto jumps in to try to save what he thinks is a girl in distress from a monster and instead gets impaled through the heart. The girl, Tokiko, is actually an alchemic warrior with a Busou Renkin, name of Valkerie Skirt, with the mission to exterminate Homunculi. She implants the only other successful work of alchemy than the Homunculus, the Kakugane, to take the place of Kazuki’s heart. The Kakugane resonates with his fighting spirit and forms a Busou Renkin (in his case a spear) so he can fight the Homunculus monsters who prey on humans. Kazuki joins with Tokiko to battle with the Homunculi and protect his friends and his sister Mahiro.
Erementar Gerad
After a routine raid, the rookie sky pirate Cou finds a most unusual cargo in his mates’ cargo hold: Ren, an "Edel Reid", a race prized by humans for granting special combat power to their partners through "Reacting". He quickly discovers, however, that Ren is even more prized than he expected. The pirate ship is visited by three members of the Edel Reid Complete Protection Agency "Arc Aire", who try to purchase her. When Cou refuses, the ship is suddenly attacked by a mysterious force, and Cou’s captain charges him with Ren’s protection.
Eyeshield 21
Kobayakawa Sena is a little guy who always get picked on by the bullies in school. Since elementary school, he always play the role of the ‘errand boy’ to the extent that he has become swift and fast in his movements. Coincidentally, Hiruma Youichi and Kurita Ryukan are looking for a fast running back for their American Football team (Amefuto) and want to put Sena in the team. To hide their new ’star’ player from the eyes of other High Schools, Hiruma encases Sena in a Amefuto helmet with a dark visor and name him Eyeshield #21.
Hayate no Gotoku
16-year-old Hayate is really down on his luck. Because his unemployed parents are good-for-nothings who waste what money they have on gambling, Hayate had to start working at a young age to help out his family. Although such experience has made him inhumanly fast and tough and skilled at things boys aren’t normally skilled it, it has also left him in an awkward position, as his parents have racked up such a huge gambling debt that they have sold Hayate to the yakuza for the value of his organs. In a desperate attempt to avoid that fate, Hayate decides to become a “bad guy” and kidnap someone to be held for ransom, but his efforts to do so are mistaken as a confession of love by the girl he targets. When he helps save the (as it turns out) ultra-wealthy 13-year-old Nagi from real kidnappers, she takes him in and gives him a job as her new personal butler (and love interest) until he can pay off his debt. But Hayate is more attracted to Nagi’s beautiful teenage maid Maria, and head butler Klaus is initially disapproving of the boy with such a poor look. And then there’s Nagi’s pet Tama, who is also a force to be reckoned with.
One Piece
Before he was executed, the legendary Pirate King Gold Roger revealed that he had hidden the treasure One Piece somewhere in the Grand Line. Now, many pirates are off looking for this legendary treasure to claim the title Pirate King. One pirate, Monkey D. Luffy, is a boy who had eaten the Devil’s Fruit and gained rubber powers. Now he and his crew are off to find One Piece, while battling enemies and making new friends along the way.
Tsubasa Chronicle
Sakura, a princess from the Clow Kingdom, lost her memory due to a strange incident that happened within an archaeological dig in her home country. In order to regain her memory, Yukito, the Kingdom’s mage, sent her childhood best friend, Syaoran, to seek help from the witch, Yuuko. Yuuko tells Syaoran that he has to travel from one alternate reality to another to collect fragments of Sakura’s memory. However, even if Sakura regains her memory, she will have no recollection of Syaoran. Along the journey, Syaoran and Sakura meet Kurogane, a warrior who was exiled from his country, and Fay, a mage who wants to move from one reality to another in order to escape from his King. The four characters end up traveling together and an exciting journey through time and space begins.

Here’s a couple off the top of my head.
Claymore (action/supernatural)
http://www.animefreak.tv/watch/claymore-english-dubbed-online-free
In a world where humans and creatures called Yoma (monsters that feed on human innards and can disguise themselves as humans) coexist, a nameless and highly secretive organization has created an order of half-human, half-yoma warriors to protect humans from the Yoma, for a large fee. The people of this world call these warriors Claymores because of the large unsheathed swords they all carry. They also are known as "Silver Eye Witches" because of their silver eyes. The series follow a Claymore name Clair as she goes town to town killing Yoma. On one of her missions she saves a boy who now feels indebted to her and follows her everywhere. Now they travel together seek vengeance. Clair has made a vow to kill a certain Yoma from her past. It is for this reason that she has become a claymore and it drives her in all that she does.
Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple (Comedy/Action/Romance)
http://www.animefreak.tv/watch/kenichi-mightiest-disciple-english-dubbed-online-free
The show focuses on Kenichi Shirahama, an average 16-year-old high school student who has been picked on his whole life, earning him the name “weak legs”. He has always been a fan of the martial arts, but has done nothing but read how-to-books about it. As Kenichi start his freshman year he meets a mysterious transfer student, Miu Fūrinji, and tries to protect her from three men after she tries to stop them from bulling an old man. During the fight Kenichi learns that Miu actually doesn’t need protecting, as she dispatches of the three men easily. Impressed by her skills and his desire to protect those around him, he follows her to Ryōzanpaku, a dojo where those who have mastered their arts gather.
I just finished this show recently and I’ve got to say it is one of the funniest action pack shows I’ve seen in a long while. I also like how theys show Kenichi’s skill level increase in the many great fights he falls into. Great fight scenes. Great comedy. What more can you ask for.
