>fight choreography

Anime is mostly garbage when it comes to choreography. Even Dragonball barely has any actual "martial arts" in it. Most anime just turn into auras (ki/spirit energy/nen/chakra,etc.) and people shooting energy blasts into big explosions. You thought Gon and Killua were gonna have unique interesting powers? Nope. Just energy fist/blade/blast and lightning. And nen barely even was a thing in the fights. It had a factor in which arm Gon lost to Genthru first (which didn't really make a difference iirc since he was gonna lose an arm anyway). It's all just a facade to make it look complex when it's the same generic shit. Stands in Jojo are better and more creative but again, in the choreography department it's lacking.

Anime mostly goes for flashiness rather than actual choreography. The best fights I've seen were in anime movies, not from long-running series.

which is a shame, because early on hxh seemed to be aiming for a higher level of realism (relatively) in terms of typical shojo

but by the end of season 1 it becomes literal *i teleport behind you* flashy aura shit and it's supremely disappointing

idk if the people who make these sorts of genre shows think that their audience is too retarded to accept anything slow paced or semi-based in reality or if they just don't care one way or the other

hxh had a real chance at redemption until they came out and said "lol all power is an energy field you shoot energy at each other"

Well, no shit. The best animation of just about any kind is in movies, because the budget ceiling for movies is on a different level. I'm not sure why this even needs to be said, it's basic common sense.

Shonen anime in a nutshell

>>153302764
I disagree entirely.

HxH has probably the best and most well thought-out incarnation of "ki" that I've ever seen.

Every power has drawbacks, pretty hard set limitations and weaknesses. No one is a master of everything and everyone is pretty specialized the stronger they get.

There are a few exceptions like around the Ant arc, but everything is still kept pretty relative.

Great examples is the Chrollo vs Hisoka fight. Hisoka vs Kastro in Heaven's Arena, Morel vs the Lion dude, etc.

>>153303611
Piss off, I was just asking that anon because he seems to like the same things I do.
>>153303492
Thanks, will check it out.

>>153303345
do you actually think that is a good cqc scene?

>>153302764
Nen is actually pretty interesting.
And also, the author isn't a pretentious cunt that thought the demographic he was aiming at needed "redemption". Hunter x Hunter is fairly by the numbers and it always had been.

What made you think it was different was that it was well written, and the quality and consistency of its writing either remained the same or rose at certain points throughout the rest of the series, which you would understand if you were paying any attention at all past the moment Nen showed up.

>>153303787
What's wrong it?

>>153303674
That's an unfair representation of HxH and you know it.

>>153304116
The hype after Gon punches Hisoka and Hunting for your dream starts playing though.

Oh yeah, it has a long backstory and explanation/definition, but in the end it's the same shit you see in any dime a dozen bad shoshit.

>teleports behind/around enemy
>punches/kicks/shoots the air as arms/legs/body flash
>enemy dodges by teleporting
>repeat process and sometimes reverse role until plot deems it necessary for someone to get hit

Every fight past the latter half of HXHS2 in the show and generally every fight in its genre follows that identical formula.

>>153304497
I don't even follow HxH nowadays, but unless the new anime drastically changed the plot, you're bullshitting.

>>153304609
You can't honestly be comparing F/Zs choreography to LoK. They aren't in the same league. Even at LoK's worst it had innovative and unique fighting styles for all of its main characters and most of its minor ones that clashed in engaging ways. F/Z has some pretty good individual moments- for an anime.

>>153304726
the fights in HXH are shit regardless

>>153305064
Not him, but it's pretty clear people are just posting choreography they like at this point. No one gives a shit about your crossboard provocations.

>>153305064
Are you being serious? LoK is full blown shit when it comes to fight scenes. Avatar beats it by worlds of distance.

LoK has nothing in the way of actual fights because they tried to dumb everything down to "MMA" style fighting, so everything was short quick jabs.

Compared to the grandiose style of fighting in Avatar where the fights were about making massive walls of fire, using wind pressure like a blade, throwing a mountain at someone or making a tilde wave.

And don't even get me started on how they totally murder Toph's character.

>>153305064
LoK's fight scenes have good choreography but the animation has this really low framerate and lacks any sense of ... I don't know, speed? Momentum?

It's like they have a set number of frames for each action and you can almost see each individual frame (which is good for looking emphasizing the "realisitc" movements but is kind of boring)

If you think I'm just shittalking just watch ANY LoK fight.

good argument

>>153304497
But that's a lie.

>>153304646
That is one fight in Hunter x Hunter between a 12 year old boy and a 20 year old man. The difference in experience between the two of them provides a gap that is understandably very difficult to cross, but neither of them are infallible. Not Gon, despite his role as the series' designated protagonist and not Hisoka despite the fact he's murdered and hurt plenty of people prior to at arriving at this battle with Gon.

That fight is both the same as and different from other anime fights of a similar nature because the point isn't that this is some insurmountable gap; it's a very real gap, yes, but it's a gap that can be closed.

Furthermore, the entire point of the fight is landing just one (1) solid punch. Gon's pride was wounded when, earlier in the series, Hisoka gave Gon his tag and told him that he didn't want it back until Gon could hit him in the face. Then he knocked the shit out of Gon. As I'm sure you remember, since you claimed to have watched the show.

That's different from standard anime protocol. All the protagonist wants to do is prove that he can hit this person. He doesn't want to win to save anyone. He doesn't even care about winning so much as proving it's possible for him to fight the guy. That's why so much emphasis is put on the fact Gon can't reach Hisoka. It's his only goal for the moment.

He does it too. Eventually. He uses trickery, outsmarts Hisoka for a brief moment and knocks the shit out of him. At which point, the battle shifts dramatically. There is no longer any emphasis on how hard it is to hit Hisoka, but how difficult it is to NOT be hit by him and how difficult it is to EXCHANGE blows.

Gon loses that fight too. But he winds up satisfied knowing that he was able to at least punch the guy. So fuck off. That fight is incredible.

>>153305586
No, LoK fight scenes are trash. Read the posts above yours.

>>153305594

It's a nice fight but the OP was baiting for shounenshit replies, not actual sparring and CQC scenes. Anyone who says "not baiting srs guize" while asking about /co/ shit on /a/ is looking for replies and possibly a nice 300+ post thread of shitposting.

Man, I wish PP had gotten a proper second season. The first was solid (not perfect, but good), and it had a good set up for it. Then the new writer came in and doodled with crayons instead of writing a real story and script.

>>153305813
Are you trying to apply depth or quality judgment to a shounen where everyone has godlike combat abilities, mary sue personalities, and paper-thin motivations?

It's about people fighting each other and beating the shit out of each other. Any depth you find is an illusion. This has been said and proven about HXH time and again. You can like it, sure, but don't fool yourself into thinking it's some kind of art piece or masterful creation. It's a shounen anime that ticks all the boxes.

But I didn't.

I get the feeling you're just angry about the praise that Hunter x Hunter sees, so you automatically deem any praise or analysis of the content as bombastic.

I get the feeling you just don't want to like it.

Man, I feel conflicted as fuck about the ant arc. I love it´s climax and how they resolved most character arcs. I like how it went the extra mile and had that kawaii semi-named character killed off. I like how the ant queen was quite body horror-ish. But I hate the parts leading up to it, they just seem to drag on forever.

And ontop of that, they just up the powerlevels by like a massive fucking amount. At least for the anime adaptation I feel that the series´ high point was somewhere waaay before the ant arc.

Ant arc is kind of like Greed Island in how it is very tonally different from the first half of the series.

It's main purpose was a prepper for whatever we're suppose to see in the new continent. It showed the high-end of the power scale of the world with the King vs Chairman. It gave us a story of how Gon and Killua adapted to a situation that they were totally unsuited for.

The cool thing I like especially about the end is how no one really won. The hunters especially, no one except Gon won hsi fight and even then, his was the victory that didn't really matter in the end anyways. Everyone lost against Yuupi. Pouf died to poison. King practically died on his own terms in the end. The person who benefitted the most from the arc wasn't even in it, and is looking to be an antagonist in the future (Pariston).

The middle did drag on a bit though I agree, I think a lot of it though was simply to prep Gon and Killua to give the author an excuse to let them live.

>And ontop of that, they just up the powerlevels by like a massive fucking amount.
It is truly beyond me how people can miss the point of the ant arc this much. It absolutely shit all over the very concept of powerlevels, it was literally a theme of the arc. The big bad with the incredibly high powerlevel was killed by a cheap NUKE, and not even in the explosion itself. He died quietly playing games with a weak, blind girl who was, in the end, more powerful than him because he couldn't beat her once. Komugi actually taught Meruem how meaningless powerlevels are. The secondary big bad was killed by the MC with a boosted powerlevel, but the total absence of righteousness on Gon's part is completely atypical for a fight involving a powerup. Typically the MC will be losing the fight, and he will get his powerup at the last minute to make a satisfying, triumphant comeback and win. Gon had the advantage from the very beginning, the audience never gets to feel satisfied because he was never the underdog. The entire thing was framed as tragic and miserable, just a brutal massacre rather than an enjoyable demonstration of well earned power. And then, when the arc is being wrapped up,

The powerlevels are stable and back to normal by the end, in any case. Gon has no powers, Meruem and the royal guard are gone, the next big threats are parasites, diseases and humans without nen, and everyone else in the universe is still where they were to begin with. Gon and Killua would still be fucked against the same people they were always fucked against. The series has never relied on the villain being super strong to sustain tension, so people won't need Meruem to be outdone by the next villain to stay excited about the series.
