I think I've finally done it, I've consumed every good romance manga/anime that has ever existed, all so I can safely say that shonen slop is in fact the better genre. Took a few years but it was worth it. If you find yourself scrambling to find a good romance please let go of such inhibitations and pick up some shit like One Piece.

The isea of someone actually doing this is hilarious.

On Piece is the least traditionally shounen major shounen. I'd definitely say that the best anime that deals with romance is actually much better anyway.

Explain.

I mean that it's more willing to have characters do things like have meaningful discussions about their values or have a song sequence play out etc. its more willing to do weird, creative, emotionally driven things than the other major battle shounen are (even if there are other types of shounen that aren't like DBZ or Bleach).

Anyway, if you're only talking 'pure romance' anime (like harems, basic shoujo etc.), where the only major concern is "will x get with y?" and otherwise only consist of drama preventing this from happening, I'd agree that it consists almost entirely of slop, with only a few things like Maison Ikkoku or the Nazo no Kanojo anime being somewhat redeemable.

But if we extend this to "anime/manga dealing with romance in general", even if there's more driving things than the romance alone, then you end up with a lot of stuff that is easily better than most shounen.

you are still a beginner
