Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba continues making the buzz across the globe. This happens with Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle movie Part 1 touching people's hearts in Japan itself. The theatre-goers already warn to carry tissues because Akaza's Return (the official title for the film) would make every theatre-goer cry. We couldn't help but get deja vu of all the times shonen anime made us feel the same way. So, if you're a fan of Demon Slayer, here are more shonen anime that you must explore (PS: You get most of them with your OTTplay Premium subscription).

Every single episode in Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure offers something new. Jojo's Yare Yare (Oh God, not again!) is something you will miss once you binge-watch a season. From action to emotional moments, this one is a ride!

Kageyama Shigeo has the ability to control ghosts. He does not realize the length of his powers until some moments actually force him to face his deepest, darkest side. There are moments where he loses his powers, too. It is how the seasons progress, that keep you hooked to Mob Psycho 100.

An agent gathers "family" members without realizing one is a psychic child and the other is an assassin. This powerful trio (who came together simply by sheer luck) moves together, thus winning you over time-and-again. Who'd want to skip this, right?

A crew of seven different personalities come together under unusual circumstances. They consist of the seven sins - Greed, Lust, Wrath, Pride, Gluttony, Envy and Sloth. They fight against the bigger evil aka the Creator. This happens to be a family member to one of the crew members. Get ready to unfurl the complexities while having fun with the gang that loves to party till sunrise.
Special Mentions:

Naruto
The list is of course incomplete without the mention of the G.O.A.Ts. Naruto is the story of a boy who either scared villagers by being possessed or got bullied. It is the journey of his growth along with his 'friends' and how a few of his closest people never gave up on him and even risked their own lives to see him grow into the fine leader he has turned into.
Dragon Ball-Z
Dragon Ball-Z is literally many people's childhood. Even though the anime is currently on hold, it might never die. We don't even need to talk about the kind of emotional impact it has had on us all over the years.
One Piece
One man's dream becomes his crew's goal. Monkey D. Luffy sets sail with hopes to be the best captain of the world, not knowing the dangers of the sea but being assured that he's capable of handling it all. Once he sets sail, he brings the best of minds to his crew and they all set off on an adventure, facing life on sea and exploring the world, one chapter at a time. We're sure you don't want to miss out on this one either!
