Sure. People don't actually say this is intellectual, do they?

>Madhouse's 2011 adaptation has been met with near universal critical acclaim. While the series as a whole has received widespread praise,[134][135] the Chimera Ant arc in particular has been often singled out. In addition to being met with rave reviews, the arc has generated considerable discussion and analysis of its themes, symbols, characters and structure throughout and in the aftermath of its run. The arc is commonly viewed as a deconstruction of shōnen and action anime;[136][137] other readings have focused on supposed symbolic parallels with Buddhism[138][139] and nuclear war. Nick Creamer compared the arc to a “war drama”. In a lengthy essay, Creamer read the arc as a study of, and in the end a simultaneous critique and defense of human nature.[140]

>Much of the writing surrounding the arc focuses on its villain, the Chimera Ant King. Largely echoing Creamer’s conclusion, Luke Halliday, in an examination of the character, describes his story as “an exploration into what it means to be human.”[141] In the piece, Halliday describes the King's development as “one of the most interesting and captivating in anime . . . [the King's] journey is simply unforgettable” and states his own belief that the arc “will go down as one of the greatest stories told in anime”.

Why are HxH fans so cancerous? Holy shit.

This show is nothing but another generic battle shounen but somehow people think this is a "deconstruction of the shounen genre" just because it has blood.

Only the chimera ants and the phantom troupe arcs. Don't even think to find that from the start.

Well what's written there isn't exactly incorrect but people will shit on it for associating anything intelligent with a manga that was published in Shounen Jump.

Wikipedia cites ANN journalism now?

>>149857026
>you can derive the reception of an anime by focusing solely on the opinions of people that weren't capable of becoming full journalists

>>149856877
I mean, it's good but I wouldn't necessarily call it "intellectual."

Hell no, it's a fun series but the garbage ass intellectual meme perpetuated by fags who want to feel smart despite reading a manga for kids.

a manga for kids can't be smart?
