I didn't. I just put those on my "comic book" bracket and usually don't bother with their animes... Medaka does fit it, but I wanted to make sure if that was the newest one before I tried it out... That's what I am trying to say! It's become less common to find tons of long runners in recent years. Series are leaning for shorter "seasons" over the 100+ episode arcs I favor...
Thing is, I already did older, and Hunter x Hunter had a conception of their world that sort of warded me off... But I agree with the definition of shounen. Shounen means a lot of stuff, so I stick with the purist definition of "superhero fantasy manga with a teen protagonist". It's like comic books as "superhero stories" even though comic books are more than just Justice League and Spiderman...

What didn't you like about Hunter X hunter or what warded you off from it, if you don't mind me prying?

Their world building...

If that's what you want maybe you should have just said that in the first place.
Besides, I don't see why you'd consider that a 'purist' definition. Surely a 'purist' definition should just be based on the actual meaning of the word, ie. young male.

Even purist has two definitions... The one that reads as "what the genre is aimed at" vs "what has historically encompassed most of the genre's content"...

Ah ok my bad, it seemed like you weren't giving them a chance, which would be a shame since yuyu is great and jojo is amazing :P And well jojo is gonna be quite the long running shounen considering the manga is over 700 chapters and the anime only started in 2012, so it's gonna take some time to adapt all that Stand goodness.
So does the bolded mean you might read them, instead of watching the anime for both of them?

It means I am reading them!
Also, where the hell is the Orichalcos?!
