>>140755616
this, what happened to his fishing rod? it vanished like it was nothing

>>140755616
This, I guess even the mighty Togashi with all his free time couldn't think of a way to make that fucking thing a viable weapon in the long run. I mean, the last thing Gon did with it was flip a tile as a distraction and later on he did the same thing with his bare hands.

I like how Gon has to say his attack name but stuttered when saying it so now he has to say ja-Janken, I don't know why but I found it funny

>>140755727
I was actually thinking about how his rod could work along with Gon's power
I was just disapointed Togashi never did anything with shu along the lines of:
>Enhancing + Shu: Gon's rod hardens and he can use it as a sort of metal bat; similarly to how he and Killua hardened the shovels when training with Bisky
>Transmuting + Shu: The nen around his rod gets the properties of a blade, turning it more into a katana
>Emitting + Shu: God sents his energy on the hook area of the rod, allowing him to send it flying at the opponent with high strengh

>>140755642
>>140755727
Get an attention span. Gon explained why he stopped using it.

>>140756006
Togashi only knows how to write main characters who are brawlers with maybe 1 energy attack.All 3 of his protags fight the same way.

In the introduction of Gon-san, Togashi has basically taken one of the most archetypal shounen tropes of all and recast it as an existentially brutal horror. Gon throws away his entire future to become a grotesque vision of what that future could be, in order to exact revenge.

Strength does not a gary stu make. Battle manga protagonists need to be a little special in order to have plot relevance. It's a good solution that that Gon and Killua have high potential but they're only kids and start out knowing nothing about nen. That way they progress fast but they still get whooped by black belts.

>>140761616
There's not much to show, senpai. When every arc seems to end in plot armor and asspulls, I can't really get myself to care about "puzzle dynamics". Also, so far all of the characters are just as boring as just about any other battle shounen I dropped.

I was asking how long it takes until "the thing" happens that apparently sets HxH apart from the others, because it sure as hell hasn't happened yet.

Seeing side by side comparisons just makes it that much more obvious that the 1999 version is superior in every respect. Exactly which scenes did 2011 handle better than 99? If you actually watched the comparisons you would know that 1999 had better storyboarding, art and animation style than 2011 in every important scene. Fluid animation is made possible by 1) a decent frame rate and 2) the use of smears - Norio Matsumoto's animation style is distinctive due to the relatively high FPS his heavy use of smears require. The 2011 version has low FPS and does not use smears but simple motion blurs which make the animation look less fluid. The use of motion blur instead of smears is a telling sign that the animator is an amateur who has no idea what he's doing.

I don't get why people are trying to raise doubts about which series is better. 2011 is so obviously less polished, drawn by amateurs, badly directed, that you really cannot make yourself credible with any kind of argument to the effect of making them seem even remotely close.

Speed lines are another sign you have no idea how to animate fluidity in an action scene. Compare https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uw8Io09FeL4
The 2011 version looks like shit because there's motherfucking speed lines everywhere. The 1999 version by contrast did not use speed lines but instead depicted the actual rotation of the background. This shows the excellent use of camera angles and movement in the 1999 version to show the dynamics of the action. The 2011 version does not rotate the camera, it just cuts from one angle to the next. This is laziness, and it destroys dynanism in the scene. Again, if you don't know anything about animation, don't make silly comments about how 2011 handles some scenes better. It doesn't. Anyone saying that the 2011 version is even remotely close to the 1999 series immediately reveals that he doesn't know anything about animation.

>Is it fun
Nope, it's actually quite dull most of the time but it's the high points that are strung along that make it worth watching/reading

>are the fights cool?
There's surprisingly little fighting actually. For a battle manga it doesn't get heavy into battles until like the 4th arc and then also gladly shuts the fights off again once that's done. But when they do fight, yes, it's very cool and nicely animated (either 99 or '11)

My advice, watch '11, then '99. then read the manga.

>>140766156
>My advice, watch '11, then '99. then read the manga.

>>140766156

>>140766186
I know most people think that but I'd argue that watching/reading in that order builds the greatest appreciation for each thing along that line. If you go from 99 to 2011 you're going to be in for a rough time but there are some things 2011 did (especially in the earliest episodes) that make the earliest parts of it easier to watch. I also think the "switch over" method where you only start watching 2011 at GI/CA is a bad idea because you're going to be continuing from one art style into a completely different one and that can be jarring. But going from 2011 to 99 you can appreciate the liberties 99 takes, the moments it has over 2011, and so on. I guess the best way to put it is that with 2011 you get a complete and varied experience, leave satisfied, and then can go on to 99 if you've liked what you've seen enough. Then the manga to fill in and refresh on whatever you might have missed, and to enjoy Togashi's art.

It's funny you say this because the amount of times there have been people in HxH threads who are at a lost on the subject matter, or don't really understand what people are talking about, 99% of the time it's because they've only watched 2011 and because they were told that it was a "complete" adaptation that was "100% accurate" they never thought to pick up the manga, and so end up confused during a lot of discussions.

This, and when >>140766408 brings up "there are some things 2011 did that make the earliest parts of it easier to watch" it is a prime example of the sort of practice that throws many fans off in a loop when reading the latest manga chapters. 2011 skims through as much "boring" and "uninteresting" parts as possible through integral parts of the story in order to provide a more simplistic viewing experience and this is what you end up with, a fanbase filled with clueless morons.

2011 has done nothing but shit up the fanbase and it's become a perpetual cycle of retards recommending others to watch that garbage adaptation. For fucks sake they didn't even include KITE in the first fucking episode! Arguably one of the most important characters in the series who reappears later in an integral role.

>>140766611

Both are good. 99 has way too excessive animation though. 2011 does it well with the basics.

It actually has just enough. It's 2011 that's missing animation and makes do with dozens of stills ripped off from the manga as compensation.

>>140761948
And it's not as if Gon is written to carry the whole series either. The audience can see/sense that he has ways to grow.

Bet you hate jojo too. Kill yourself.
Excessive animation just for the sake of animation is not good directing. Just look at the trash that kyoani makes.

ETERNAL REMINDER THAT 1999FAGS L I T E R A L L Y DEFEND FILLER EPISODES

>>140767508
His birthday is today so I'm sure he's happy that it's Golden Week.

I think 99 tried too hard to turn HxH into some dark psychological anime. It's a good battle shounen with interesting characters and some subversive elements, nothing more. It's not Lain or GITS.

>>140767538
Daily reminder that Togashi not only liked approved of said filler episodes, he also got ideas from them.

>>140767677

So it's not pretentious garbage or thinly veiled ecchi?

>>140767852
There's nothing wrong with liking the filler episodes, hell the creator of the series liked it. And since he took ideas from it, that's says that if he thought of it it first then would have been in the manga.

So actively pointless to complain about filler episodes existence or even claim that it's not close to the manga. Since the mangaka themselves uses idea from it.

Dont listen to anyone here saying read the manga, I agree with reading the source 99% of the time, that golden rule is always a given, but for HxH I would make an exception, Togashi is a piece of shit as a mangaka, the fucker clearly doesnt care about the series at all anymore, the manga gets almost unvearable shitty at some points (Chimera Arc and Greed Island), the drawings end up looking like doodles, even with all of this I would still recommend reading the manga, the thing is, the 2011 anime is literally perfect, the animation is great, every single fight is well though and looks really fluid, none of this matters though since the entire series both in the manga and anime goes to shit after the Chimera Ant Arc, The fucking coward mangaka ends up dismissing half the shit that happens (dead characters, character growth) in the next arc, not even gonna spoil it for you but for example one important male character death (this guy was 30 something, just to put some context), basically what started the whole arc, ends up being rewriten into that same character being revived as a half chimera loli (I wish I was making this shit up).

It was common knowledge back then, but it was in Togashi's author comments at the time, he'd frequently talk about the meetings he'd go to with the anime staff. Also Ponzle and Pockle, they had never spoken in the manga at all, and Gon-san was a joke that the '99 staff used to have.

He was also involved in the creation of the '99 novels. The full extent of his involvement is unknown but it's known that he was involved with it's creation.

Not him, but I know he mentions it in an interview and in his manga volume comments.

Also he voiced the rock climber in the Exam arc in both versions.

>>140768233
>>140768527
Honestly - I don't care if I get called a shitposter for this - a lot of Togashi's behaviours are symptomatic of someone with Aspergers.

>>140768527

All I remember him talking about Yu Yu Hakusho voice actors. He wasn't that involved with HxH anime.

>>140768620
The man was/is sick and happy to finally be able to walk on his own. His comments are actually no different from other mangaka.

>>140768652
He was also credited to be supervising the 2011 anime when it first came out. It doesn't mean anything, it's just for PR.

>>140768620
Source: I live in Togashi's house and study his behavior

>>140768527

He didn't voice anything in 2011 idiot.

>>140768652
I don't remember him talking about the YYH voice actors, in fact YYH anime had ended long ago before the HxH even started.

Well all I have to go by are his interviews, the little we know about his personal life, interests and habits and of course his manga.

It appears Togashi has difficulty balancing multiple things in his life at the same time, however minor, when he dedicates himself to one thing everything else is neglected - for example his total neglect for cleaning (detailed in a YYH volume and even seen in this picture). I'm curious if he also neglects basic functional tasks such as personal hygiene and eating as well. It's without a doubt he has the most incredible mind and feeling for his craft, and when he applies himself to something, he gives 100% Memes aside, it could well be video games-Dragon Quest or otherwise - taking up his main focus while he's on hiatus.

Will the anime ever return? I had loads of fun watching it.

>>140768763
Togashi: It’s not the current “HH”, I had talked to the voice actor of “YuYu’s” Urameshi Yusuke (※10), Sasaki
Nozomu (※11). Because they can only use their voice to express the character, so the way they research and
understand the characters is totally different from the mangaka. After I understood this, I found it quite interesting.
Fujimaki: Because I did not have any time to go to the recording studio at all, so I really want to take a look.
Togashi: If you go, they will tell you to voice a character, you know. In the recent “HH”, I voiced the person who fell
from the Trick Tower and got eaten by monster birds (※12). Though I was OK-ed after one try that is (strained
laugh).

at leastthat's what I'm getting from your implications.
And you seem to be full of shit from saying that, you leave room for nothing new, hell all those things you mentioned are interesting when done right, like Part 4 and 7 stands, everything about Nen and lower forms of it (like gyo, en, ect.), jutsus being used tactifully like Shikamaru's arc againts Hidan and Kakuzu before the manga tuned into a power level wank-fest, and Gash Bell's spell books.

NipAni has likely lost the original film by now, but even if they didn't the whole thing's already been remade regardless of quality. There's no scavenging 99 anymore.

The best thing we can hope for is a new DC OVA by them. It worked for Black Jack Final like a decade later even after the anime adaptation was released.

>>140766611
Gotta love how 99 had so many "manga panels? fuck them, have some cinematography shot" moments.

Also the exam arc is the 2011 arc that had the most animation by far, the show is just directed in such a bland and uninspired way.

That's misleading knowing he reverts back to a candid character later.

>>140770876
Gon is not even the MC at this point. But your right it is misleading, I would say he grows up at little though.

>>140770876
He's not going to stay angry 24/7, saying he reverted is misleading.
The whole CA arc + his encounter with Ging clearly changed him and made him grow.

>>140770876
We don't really know that. He could snap at any moment now that he's been exposed to that nature. He still needs to be doing something in the story right now to be able to tell though.

>>140770719
Yes, Leorio comes back in the Election arc and does something pretty badass. He's also in the Dark Continent arc but hasn't done much so far.

>-goes gon grow up mentally?
In the Election arc he knows he fucked up and made mistakes, the first thing on his mind when he meets Ging is his regret for what he's done. Also he reflects upon his meeting with Ging and realizes he wasn't as concerned about him as he thought.
Gon is out of the story for now though.

I think so too, especially because he's never involved in the heroics you expect of protagonists. He's usually only dealing with relatively minor personal issues that don't include saving the world and doesn't majorly impact a lot of people. The one time he was in a globally significant situation, he was a fucked up mess instead of a hero and didn't even meet the 'villain'.

This honestly. He's my favorite but it's obvious he likes Gon the most

>>140768020
>my exemple is literally the one time it happens
2011fags sure are fucking retarded.

>>140772262
Killua is Gon's favorite
Gon is Killua's favorite
Gon is Kurapika's favorite
Kurapika is Leorio's favorite

>>140772370
Leorio's favorite is Gon actually

>>140772398
I guess I could see it going both ways, but I always felt that Leorio was closer to Pika than Gon.

Or maybe it was a 1999 thing only? I also seem to remember Pikas/Leorio's relationship being fleshed out more in '99 than in '11 or in the manga.

>>140772398
I don't think Leorio has a favorite, he seems to care about all of them.

>>140772674
Too bad nobody really cares about him.
big flaw in HxH imo.

>>140772674
Except Killua.

>>140772850
Kurapika and Gon care.

>>140772850
>Gon jumping into his arms
>Kurapika saying it's thanks to Leorio he feels at ease

>>140772855
Killua doesn't give a shit about him either though
Killua cares more about Kurapika ffs

>>140769243

yes, it was. that interview was from the kuroko no basuke character bible joint interview

>>140774475
Yes.

Interesting

>>140776332
How popular was Level E in Japan?

What if both 99 and 11 each have their strengths and weaknesses and both are equally enjoyable?

Heresy

>>140776968
It's true that 99 is overall better but 99fags are obnoxious, they treat it like a masterpiece even though the manga is better and act like 2011 is an insult to the medium just because it has speedlines and lacks inspired direction. It's not amazing, but it's very good for a battle shounen adaption of that length. Great animation for 150 episodes is a really unrealistic expectation, we're lucky for the quality we got and even more lucky that we got two versions that are above average for the genre.

I guess HxH is in a special position due to the hiatuses, there's no point dragging out the adaption with filler and budget conserving short cuts because they know it's unsustainable.

Animefags please drop dead already

>>140765883
But in real life the chains would be blurred moving that fast, are you 99 fags actually retarded? What doesn't look nice about this scene? Plus the action is easy to follow. And idk what you guys are smoking but the color in 2011 is obviously much better than 99

>>140765998
Different doesn't mean worse. They honestly improved his look. Plus it matches the other 2011 character designs better.

Elongating faces and making chins pointier doesn't improve a design. Even the hair looks like it's made out of plastic.

>>140772398

Leorio definitely wants to tap that Kurta ass.

>>140777544

It's almost funny how 99 fags are the most obnoxious these days.

Look how far back his ear is in the manga, he doesn't even look human. And 2011 took the greasy wop out of him too.

>>140778568
'99 went out of it's way to make them look gay as fuck, even in the ending theme

Gon's an enhancer not a manipulator so he can't do much with it.

He could slice up people with it by channeling Nen into it though like Hisoka does with the playing cards

>>140778622
He looks far more human than the plastic dorito in 2011.

>>140757472
HxH fags always say "it's a homage" when Togashi is the one ripping shit off

>>140778402
Please enlighten me then idiot. Whip a string around and tell me if it looks blurry when it gets fast. Oh it does? Wow, crazy, I mean that's stupid why does reality use speedlines is reality lazy?

Animation doesn't score "points" because it looks realistic. Animation should be judged on how good it looks. '99's chain movements are more complex and look flashier; '11's are simple and boring.

Why are you reading the shitty version?

>>140779000
Why do Togashi fags do the "read the redrawn versions!" excuse so much to defend their shitty series? Every other shonen author has managed to make series with non-doodle art, each week.

>>140778977
I honestly think most people are in denial about how fucking retarded and shitty Nanika/Alluka was. By far the worst thing to ever happen in the series.
