If all you really like is shounen anime, I can't recommend this, but I'd recommend it for most other anime fans. It's episodic, but does have a progressive plot and a proper ending. The pace is on the slow side. There isn't a strong central concept. The characters slowly develop friendships as they progress toward an uncertain goal. Ultimately, friendship is the strongest theme. The characters are somewhat flat, although their interactions are well done. Some of the characters develop though the series; others stay pretty much the same.
