This must be the greatest disappointment I ever had with an anime,

People have different tast

I'm like halfway through Yorknew right now I think? I like it, but it took a while to get to that point. The first few arcs aren't great but they aren't bad. It hasn't really been "good" until now though.

>>153835469
Yorknew is the best arc in my opinion or towards the end of it.

Yorknew is cool and is definitely my second favorite but, come on, Chimera Ants.

>>153834609
Have you even watched Chimera Ants

I feel like if you don't already like battle shounens then you aren't gonna like HxH no matter what.

HxH gets a lot of recognition because it is a very different kind of battle shounen but if you come into it thinking it's gonna outright be a fucking josei or something then the battle has already been lost.

CA arc had higher highs than Yorknew, but Yorknew was more consistent with its quality throughout the arc, so I prefer Yorknew.

>>153842387
You do when it's basically a reference and reversal of a very famous city

>>153842673
No, you don't. If it was supposed to be Yorknew it would've been spelt ヨークニュー.

>>153842633
>>153835801
Chimera ant arc might've had higher highs but it also had lower lows than almost anything else, and the pacing alone was enough for it to kill my interest in the show as a whole. Most of the Chimera ant episodes (especially in the palace) were just 20 minutes of boring shit with an interesting cliff hanger, whereas I felt like in Yorknew almost all of the interactions were interesting.

>episodes
This is the issue. It doesn't feel dragged in the manga.

Chimera Ants must be the worst and most waste of my fucking time thing ever made, I liked the relationship between Meruem and Komugi though.

>>153834609
I agree 100%

>>153834609
Becuase fags cried during the end of the CA arc nothing more.

>>153834609

So... you are making a thread to what exactly? complain you have a shit taste? We can't help you with that.

Admitedly 1999 adaptation tone, music and overall narration was waaaaay better than 2011 but HxH is pretty good as far as shonen goes no matter the version.

>>153842864
I don't know why people think they can back up their judgement of the arc by referring to episodes. Everyone knows you need to judge long running battle shounen by the manga more often than not, and manga CA arc is a masterpiece.

>>153834609

come on son

Are there still fucking plebs watching the 2011 anime? The manga is infinitely better, there's literally no point in watching the anime, I thought everyone knew this by now.

I really don't know what to say to you. If you hated HxH, you are just a straight up fucking pleb. It is the best battle shounen anime by fucking miles, it's not even close.

>tfw the 2011 remake was 6years ago

>>153843849
I liked 1999's music a lot better too, but that's only by virtue of most 90's composers being extremely proficient in the ways of "PUT A WARM SYNTH-PAD CHORD HERE, TRANSITION A FULL TONE UP AND DOWN EVERY NOW AND THEN AND WE'LL PUT SOME SAX AND OTHER SHIT ON TOP OF IT". I can't get enough of it.

>>153843849
I loved that mexican music that plays EVERY single time Hisoka appears. '99's soundtrack is vastly superior.

I stand by what i said. It just creates a better overall and more organic mood considering the pacing of the original anime.

2011 does have some stuff where it's pretty proficient but it lacks the soul that 1999 had.

Theres just so much wrong with it.

Its just so retarded.

Gon and killua stood like no chance agaisnt the stronger ants but all of a sudden they are able to fight ir defend agaist the strongest ants

And they specifically went after one of the strongest ants with no plan or hope of winning

Killua's super saiyan mode definitely seemed like an asspull since it just came out of absolutely nowhere. I haven't watched the arcs following the chimera ant arc but I can see how Gon's powerup wasn't an asspull if he made a sort of "sacrifice" like Kurapika did for his nen chains.

>>153834609
Some people just have shit taste anon. Its ok to be upset when you discover that your opinions are objectively bad but you don't need to make a thread crying about it sheesh.

>>153834609
The series peaks at Yorkshin arc, and then barreling downward to the bottom of the shithole with CA arc. It gains some altitude with DC arc though.

Togashi even threw in some fanservice in the form of Chrollo vs. Shitsoka in a desperate attempt to pull back the crowds that have dropped the series after the shitshow that is CA arc.

>>153849408
I enjoyed chimera arc in the manga and the anime
I don't understand why it gets hate
It's the one that sticks with me the most

I can't name most of the trails that happened in the beginning but I can name every chimera ant by name

Chimera was like watching yu yu hakasho again and I love me some hakasho

>>153848812
I think the asspull was that there was no proper foreshadow for that to happen except killua's chain explanation.
but with that and killua's monologue about how he looks like 30 yeas older at his potential and everyone else talking about how killus might have more potential so basically he converted all his potential into a boost of power for this one moment. but that's my headcanon at least.

>>153850271

>>153847243
>Gon and killua stood like no chance agaisnt the stronger ants but all of a sudden they are able to fight ir defend agaist the strongest ants

I guess you missed the part where they left the NGL and weren't allowed back in unless they were able to defeat two experienced hunters. They were training for a long time.

>And they specifically went after one of the strongest ants with no plan or hope of winning

The point wasn't to win, every single fight was simply to distract, delay and separate the Royal Guards from the King. They went in knowing that as long as Netero won his fight them eventually losing didn't matter.

If you didn't realise that winning not necessary in the case of the Royal Guards you obviously weren't paying much attention.

>They knew they were no where near kites level who didnt stand a chance but they went after the guy who could easily kill kite

It's implied that Kite overestimated Neferpitou's strength. He judged him completely from his En, which is usually circular, but in Neferpitou's case, was unstable and jagged. That means it has parts that are longer than the average circular En, but some parts are also shorter. It said that Kite likely got the long end and as such thought Neferpitou was stronger than he actually was (since he assumed it was circular En). In addition, Kite lost an arm at the start simply by trying to protect Gon/Killua as Pitou came rushing in.

It's implied that Kite would've been able to take Neferpitou on in a normal 1v1, but he basically fucked up and was very handicapped.

Sounds like a case of not really following it properly.

>>153835469
The hunter exam was by far the best arc

>>153850652
dartboard episode is ep 101

>>153850690
>It's implied that Kite would've been able to take Neferpitou on in a normal 1v1,
absolutely fucking not. At no point in the series has En ever been equated to combat strength. Killua, who is already leagues stronger than the average nen user, had a microscopic En.
There's no implication to be found that Kite was overestimating Pitou in any way shape or form. He rolled a one-handed weapon anyway, an extra arm wasn't going to beat her.

>>153834609
Calm down, love.

>>153834609
lol OP didn't get it

>>153834609
It's easily the best shounen anime ever made. Like, it's not even a close fight. The next best is at least a full point worse than HxH on a 10 point scale.

I liked the first anime, and it's the only thing that I saw.
I thought to read the manga but I found out that Leorio and Kurapika barely appear after, so, as I wasn't very interested in Gon and Killua, I didn't

>>153853713
>what is JJBA

Sorry but Part 4, 6, and 7 take a huge dump all over HiatusXHiatus. There's no arc from HxH that could rival the aforementioned Parts.

HxH peaked at Yorknew, and then it steadily got worse with CA arc being the lowest point of the series. Bait harder, please.

>>153835801

4 is a plot hole ridden garbage with a bland MC and villain.

>>153852584
Except there's a whole bit describing Neferpitou's En, given by Morel. In it he says Kite probably thought he was a lot stronger than he actually was.

When their En is that big they often equate it with their strength, as Kite said "that's a monster" as soon as he senses Pitou's En, simply by the distance with which he can project it. Pouf's En causes Knov to break down. Kite himself was also judged by his En (when they're walking through the forest, being able to keep it up for so long).

Morel gives a lecture on how nen fights come down to the nature of abilities rather than nen power, but it's still seen as a rough indicator of the threat/potential of the enemy.

Kite is said to be stronger than most Nen masters (by how long he kept his En up in combination with the range), and was probably the 2nd strongest hunter in the arc after Netero. By that time Neferpitou hadn't developed any nen abilities, relying on pure bruteforce, so he wasn't as strong as he was in the palace invasion. Kite was caught by surprise by Pitou's nen power, and his first thought was to get Killua/Gon away rather than prepare for it. If he had known the ants had something that strong he would have gone alone from the start, in which case he wouldn't have to worry about them and would've been able to defend himself from the start. And losing an arm, even with a one handed weapon, is still a major handicap.

>>153847285
I agree with that guy. You're an autist. Let them translate whatever they want. In no way does it ruin the show. Plus, the whole point was that it was new york backward, so not translating it would have just been more confusing.

>>153844539
that sounds so mystic, magical, adventure, hunter x hunter

>>153847243
>They knew they were no where near kites level who didnt stand a chance but they went after the guy who could easily kill kite
Gon would've done his shit, Killua thought he was just going to die with Gon and didn't care

>>153854768
what can i say? i love hxh and jojo, i think both have their magic

>>153835801
Ant arc took forever and involved the (typically melodramatic) development of an entire cast of "side" characters before getting to the point. It would have been just fine, great, as a stand alone anime. But Yorknew was like 15 episodes and the same quality of writing. Just more enjoyable.

If you took Yorknew, made it 60 episodes, included 8 extra characters to fully develop, developed all the villains individually, included geopolitical subplot elements, it would be in the same format as the Chimera Ant arc.

>>153860076
Well, I should say that I love pre-skip OP. Recent quality has been unsteady.

>>153859084
taste is one thing. quality is another.
"taste" comes from self-insert potential, fap material and cool looking drawings
"quality" comes from narrative structure, aesthetic sense, character development, etc.
hxh was the best shonen overall up until 2003-04 when the major hiatuses began near the end of greed island arc.
at the time OP had alabasta, skypea and building up enies lobby, bleach was at soul society and naruto had chuuni exams, konoha invasion and were in the sasuke retrieval.mission
that was TEN+ years ago. when most of /a/ majority were like 7-9 years old
and that was back when the REEEE FILLER ARC meme existed.

up until yorkshin

>>153834609

I sorta agree with OP, its generic and boring for the first 100 episodes then its starts picking up and becomes a really great series. So in the first 100 eps all the shounen tropes are present and i had to watch like eps a day because thats I had in me. After that, the pacing become perfect, the antagonist gains emense depth, the MCs switch with each others archetypes, not a single wasted moment, the stakes become real. I marathoner it as soon as I got home and perhaps, for an anime adaption, the CA arc is the best shounen arc I have ever seen.

>>153860424
>for an anime adaption, the CA arc is the best shounen arc I have ever seen.
Then your library is piss poor.

>>153834609

Hunter x Hunter would be a much better series if Togashi didn't give us a huge exposition dump in every fucking fight. I don't need a play by play of every second in a battle. There are fights which are almost completely ruined by over explaining certain characters abilities. Chimera Ant Arc is the worst offender in this case. Almost every fight loses all its tension because of the annoying narration.

>>153854072
Another thing I like about '99: It treats the main four as equals throughout, even with Greed Island, whereas 2011 dropped Leo and Kura as early as Heaven's Arena.

>>153860824
and the constants hiatuses. dont forget that anon

>>153835411

>>153861073

Yeah, I was strictly speaking about the manga's content that we have. His hiatuses are bullshit though, guy needs to either quit the manga industry or stop whining.

>>153834609
I still think it's one of the best series with over 100 episodes. Sure it had shitty episodes too but it still kept me hooked till the end. My favorite arc was Yorknew city arc but Chimera was amazing too despite having those "shitty episodes".

And so on and so on. That's not to minimize the series in any way, it is one of my favorites in the demographic. Togashi just puts them together really well and knows how to string plot lines from arc to very smoothly. The lead up into Greed Island was absolutely fucking amazing.

people who realize Naruto is a better show tend to be more intelligent than the autistic hxh and Jojo memers.

>>153869119
It's a little unfair to compare HxH to Naruto since at least Naruto has a proper adaptation since they've adapted all the material. CA arc and the 4th shinobi war arc are equally bad though. Naruto has much better fights though.

It's a shame that we'll probably never see it completed, I really loved how togashi just completely threw an alien spanner into the already established powerlevels by introducing the ants/dark continent, it could make for some great stuff, we were finally getting some Leorio as well.

What part of Togashi does trap characters do you not understand. Pitou is male with feminine features. Only the anime took it literally and made him a she for whatever reason. Can't have an ambiguous character, right? I may be gay otherwise. Better use the 2011 anime as official canon.

Any news on Togashi? just get your fucking wife to draw it or something I don't care at this point.

Your picture of Pitou jumping shows us digitigrade legs and endoskeletal knees, giving us a uniquely symbolic panel of a cat. But I know autists such as yourself can't pick up on visual metaphors and the like, joke's on me for expecting discussion with someone who isn't mentally inept.

Blame the waifufags and 2011fags for not realizing Togashi does this with his characters from time to time. No one bitched about the other trap in YYH, then again, all of 2011's faggots weren't alive when the manga and anime appeared.

Yet there isn't a single character that in the hunter universe acknowledges that Pitou is female when its 'breast' are dead in their faces. It's either called by it's name, male, or gender neutral pronouns. Now why is that anon kun? Because it's not female. Now fuck off back to your bunker.

I know. The most obnoxious aspect of HxH is how it tries to pretend that it's scenarios are more thoughtful and tacticul than they really are, when they're the same kind of asspulls that you see in every shounen, where the characters find something that works at the last minute even if there was no reason to believe it would beforehand, and then pretends that it's a super clever solution after the fact.

I'd actually say that HxH (2011 version especially, I don't have quite nearly the same problems with the older version) is dumber and more infuriating than DBZ because of how pretentious it is.

It's a power that lets him connect his electric nen with his nervous system after years of being exposed to high voltage electricity and he developed himself in a life or death situation (the aquaman darts part). It's also very limited since it runs out fast and he literally needs an electrical outlet to recharge so it's not very practical in battle unless he has no other choice or the situation requires it (saving Knuckle's life)

>>153855330
What you call super saiyan mode is the same thing he did in the darts episode except now applied to his entire body instead of just his fingers.

>Hunter/Chunin Exams
This is because Japanese people are obsessed with formal structure, and it's a common attribute for shows to have because of this. Tournament arcs are the same way.

>Boy with red eyes trying to avenge his dead clan who also had red eyes
Red eyes are associated with edge, who knew? Other than that, Kurapika is NOTHING like Sasuke. In Yorknew it's practically spelled out that he cares more about his friends than his own goals.

>A demon fox named Kurama
This is Japanese mythology.

>Creepy pedo who the MC kids meet during the exam, who really wants one of those kids to "ripen"
Effeminance is associated with evil and deception. This is a common trope.

Because 13 is a "bad" number and groups of bad people generally have themes in Anime, and in this show as well.

Madhouse went full retard in the first episode and decided not to add Kite because they tought they would never get to CA arc or whatever the fuck was on their minds.

In the manga and 99 Kite is the one that appears and tells Gon about Hunters and his dad which starts his whole journey so Kite is actually really important.

IMO it was one of the biggest flaws of 2011 because it seems Gon really overreacts about a guy he just met.

>>153908004

series is garbage. I feel like togashi got some kind of brain disease around the point where he revealed that yusuke was a demon all along but the shounen jump editors couldn't call him out on being literally retarded because he made them so much money. Pic related.

Gay shota protagonists with no actual motivation semi randomly do things in a world that isn't consistent at all and feels like it's made of 3-4 different series worlds combined patchwork style. On their quest to kill time and make the author money they use the power of Nen, the worst magic system I've ever seen in an anime because it at the same time has tons of autistic rules and no rules at all. They waste tons of fucking time setting up all this shit about nen types and how it all works but then they throw that out the fucking window constantly so the new bad guy or special MC technique can be even more surprising. Their adventures mainly consist of fighting people with an even bigger power level than the previous, doing some sort of outrageous physical activity to show their power level, or playing some kind of dumb game that still basically acts like any generic shounen fight but more indirect.

360 something chapters over almost two decades and nothing has happened. I feel bad for people that are invested in this.

>>153902009
>he didn't get that the initial post he replied to was mocking the other poster for following said line of reasoning in an ironic fashion

Is there a reason transmuters only change their nen into one thing? Hisoka only does bubble gum, and Killua only does electric.

By the way the manga words it, you should be able to transmute it into almost anything. Like, go full avatar airbender status.

When I read the manga I recall one panel where Pitou was drawn like a female cat defending her kittens.

I think it was when Gon came and threatened to attack/kill and screw up the healing of the blind girl. It's been forever so I can't remember too well.

That right there was enough proof for me that it's a female. The analogy was pretty well done.

Wouldn't be surprised if it was male knowing Togashi but I prefer to think of it as female after seeing that scene.

This was maybe my biggest issue with CA character-wise, I didn't buy that Gon gave so much of a shit about Kite that he was willing to completely sideline his "best friend in the world" to get revenge for and then practically kill himself over when he finds out he can't revive him. It was a guy who saved his life when he was young and he knew for like a week afterwards, it's sad but it's not "throw your friends and life away in angst" sad. I've said it before but I feel like CA on top its length and pacing issues, blew its wad too early with Kite, Togashi should have kept Kite around as a side character for one or two lighthearted arcs before killing him to make his loss more impactful.

See, the irony is that Killua saved Gon more times than Kite did. And the only reason that Gon was even able to meet up with Kite again was because Kill gave up his reward for beating Greed Island. Killua risked his life to help clear Greed Island and got literally nothing for it, and Gon still treats him like shit.

good job replying to pasta dumbass

>>153910041
It's fun.

He said everything was easy for Killua because he never gave a shit about Kite

Just like everyone else.

I never thought about it but yeah

Do Gon and Killua get back together and go on adventures in the Dark Continent arc? Or is Killua gone for good.

What a letdown

>>153910647
Feels good to think.

>>153910672
They're both gone

>>153910797
Where?

>>153910672
Yeah maybe in 150 years they'll get back together after Togashi's descendant discovers HxH and decides to finish it.

>>153910797
Killua is having adventures with his tranny brother and Gon is studying at his aunt's

HxH also compares Pouf and Youpi's unconditional love towards Mereum to what a mother feels for her children. Do you consider them female as well?

>>153911333
I don't consider them at all.

Note that Naruto went to shit around the same time Togashi started going on long hiatuses.

>>153904893
Cuz it's popular and /a/ is 90% contrarian

>>153911642
At least we see more than just one nen user per nen type in naruto.

>>153871571

Also, to make things even better - most people who shit on HxH LOVE Naruto.

>>153900043

This is OP

>>153911766
sad but true

>>153911766
That's because Naruto does everything HxH does but better.

HxH fans think that HxH is some subversive battle-shonen, but there's nothing more subversive than talk-no-jutsu.

>>153911697

What are you talking about? Every category has several characters. Almost every advanced hatsu uses a variety of types as well.

>>153911872
Superficial difference.

>>153911648
FMA: Brotherhood is also popular on /a/ and most people like it. The fedora wearing Reddit posters who want to be contrarian say the 2003 version was better, but that's about it. No one ever says FMA (all of its versions) was bad. And I mean, it's not bad, but it's still inferior as a shonen series to HxH. I think most dislike for HxH comes from the exceedingly long Chimera Ant arc in the 2011 anime version. I don't think there's anyone who read the manga that says HxH is bad.

The fact that people like OP exist and make threads about these just proves that HxH is indeed the best of the best of shonen and that Togashi is the Shakespeare of manga. Being the best attracts lots of butthurt from people who are too dumb to understand why.

>>153911949
So that means Naruto is the best shonen since it gets even more hate from /a/?

That scene was significantly more exaggerated in the anime. Pouf and Yougi wear merely elated to be repeatedly praised by their king.

No fedora. FMAB was awful.

>>153909429
why's everyone so fugly in 2011 version?

>>153912080
Only thing FMAB right wrong was have a shonen style ending.

>>153912169
because 2011 sucks

>>153911994
Not in the same context. You don't see monthly threads where some butthurt sheep like you makes a "umm so I watched this Hunter ex Hunter anime and I don't see why it's good??" about Naruto. In fact, the only time there's threads on /a/ complaining about Naruto in the OP, it's because of whining about some girl not getting the guy they wanted her to get.

>>153912080
FMAB was one of the best anime adaptations of all time. The start was rough but after that it was very faithful to the manga. In fact, it's probably the best shonen anime ever made (because of it's faithfulness and only minimal negatives). Basically, it's the best because it made the least wrong choices.

The only better shonen anime (in a different way) is Yu Yu Hakusho since that actually is superior to the manga by making the right choices to change and shorten some of the bad stuff.
