Then again, shows like One Punch Man work because you know all of those tropes, and doesn't seem to work nearly half as well if you don't know what they're referring to.

(I've tried showing it to someone with rather little prior exposition to traditional shonen and the person found it rather boring. A sample size of one, I know that says almost nothing)

If you haven't watched it yet, give Hunter x Hunter a try - sure you'll see lots of re-occurring tropes, but it's a bit of a breath of fresh air, promised.
