>So I just dropped hxh after watching 132 episodes . I'm not sure why I kept on watching it maybe because every 10 or so episodes it would have some great moments that convinced me to keep watching. What I just don't get though, is what people find so amazing about this show. hxh is filled with flaws for example: the "main plot" of kid wants to find his dad isn't really being actively pursued throughout the show with the exception of the greed island arc. There's no sense of urgency to find ging and yorknew city, heavens arena and the chimera ant arcs have very little to do with gon finding gin or even getting closer to him.

The minute you said the the "main plot" was Gon finding Ging, you've shown once again that 2011 only attracts complete morons.

Dropping it was the best thing because no that's one less idiot to make a thread asking stupid questions.

>>154834692
Your first mistake: Watching the horrid remake.

i don't understand the hate for the remake. the first time i watched hxh it was the remake. i don't understand how you can blame a remake for not understanding the entire premise of the show

>dropping it at the height of CA arc

>>154835859
Insecure underage retards afraif of being related to something popular. There's nothing wrong with watching 2011 first if you don't know anything about HxH. It's what any normal person would do.

Serious question for anons ITT, I watch HxH 2011 and enjoyed it. I peeked at some episodes of the old version and besides the artwork, not much difference at all. Is there any reason to go back and watch the other one? I didnt enjoy HxH enough to really have a s trong desire to see the original, but I enjoyed it nonetheless..

>>154834692
No one really cares about the goal of his quest all that much. It's all about the appreciating the detours.

>>154836974
Not really.

>>154837022
Ging himself said this. It was basically the message of the show. But of course OP will never know because he dropped it before this.

>>154837092
>But of course OP will never know because he dropped it before this.
To be fair, the message of the show should probably be conveyed before 133 episodes in.

>>154836974
It has """"""""""dark and gritty"""""""""" original content, which is why turboautists love it, even though it doesn't even make sense.
Also Kurapika has tiddies.

>>154838388
Sounds as stupid reading the ending of a book first.

Might as well never start anything with a story and just read the summary.

>>154839179
I would generally agree with that sentiment, but there's a flaw in this instance:

If the message of the show is that the journey is more important than the ending, then it's reasonable for that message to, you know, actually be communicated during the journey, rather than in the ending.

I remember this copy pasta

>>154839262
Because its Gon's journey not the audience.
And in case you missed it, Kite offered to tell Gon where Going is but he refused. The was the mid point of the series. When they first met again.

>>154838789
Wait kurapica actually has tits in 99?

>>154834692
This is some of the lowest quality bait I've seen in a long time. If you're 132 episodes in, you either understand that Ging isn't the most important part of the story, our you need to count your chromosomes.

2011 is the worst thing that happened to HxH. I'm so tired of these threads.

>>154834692
i trudged through the show, i marathonned it in less than a week

i think it was a lot better in retrospect when i watch other shounens, but i vividly remembered hating the latter portion of chimera ant after kite died.

overall the writing is usually tight and consistent with a straight forward beginning middle and end, theres not too many full retard writing besides the weird interwoven characters like kurapika vs troupe vs hisoka vs illumi vs hisoka that will never be resolved. the power levels are also relatively controlled so the fights are less about "well ok heres my secret move that will instakill you, since the old one from last arc didnt work"

>2011 is the worst thing that happened to HxH

>>154844242
No I just think people should read the manga first at this rate. The quality of discussion is poor these days and all the threads started with the same bullshit.

1999 is better tho

You probably watched it with all the expectations of the praise it gets from /a/. I watched it for the first time on tv, in the middle of Hunter Exam, and I got really drawn in by the cleverness of both the traps set by the examinators and the characters themselves. It was kinda refreshing, more adventure than pure fighting (HxH's fights are kinda weak) and characters using their brains to solve problems instead of just going fighting a villain after another villain.

>>154835859

I don't understand it either. A lot of my friends got into HxH because of the remake.

>>154838388
>To be fair, the message of the show should probably be conveyed before 133 episodes in

It's pretty easy to realize, even without Ging spelling it out for you.

>>154839262

The thing is, the message is communicated, just not overtly. Things can be implied.

>>154834692
I don't like it all that much either, but your reasons for hating it are retarded. There are plenty of reasons to hate it. Like just being a shounen in general makes it bad because shounen is a genre defined by cliches instead of content. So just in general every shounen will be cliche as fuck. Then there's the inevitable asspulls that come with those cliches, and the unrealistic characters, and plot devices, and exposition, telling not showing, etc, etc.

I'm not saying it's a masterpiece either because it does have its flaws, but dang.

I can't particularly pick a favorite arc for whatever reason, but I'm still in the process of seeing the remaining CA episodes. I feel it isn't right to pick one without having gone through the whole thing.

>>154848674
CA is both anticlimactic and boring as fuck.

FUCK someone just END this hiatus already.

You see what's so amazing about HxH is that it's not popular. So in praising it you can stay a shonenfag but appear like you have higher taste than the masses who flog to mainstream things One piece, Naruto/Boruto, and BnHA. Also HxH is old, so you look like an oldfag. Quality of writing has nothing to do with it.

Should have never watched it. The mangaka will die before he gets the next chapter out. it will never be finished, and it never was going to be finished. This series will only lead to your disappointment.

>All I'm saying is that CA arc is a slugest to get through
Sluggish? Let me tell you about sluggish. The year is 200X and I'm working at a church run school for that year. I would read a single chapter of HxH on Onemanga.com when it came out on one of their computers and then for months nothing. It got so bad that over the years I slowly reverse engineered the Rules for Gun-Gi because funny enough, Togashi is autistic enough to reflect the pieces actual movements as games are played out and I sussed that he was drawing not only from Shogi, but Chatturanga and Xiangqi.

The slog between chapters was so bad that I forgot this series existed multiple times and for years afterwards I regarded the CA arc as the worst.

Reading through it again however, it's paced far better than I gave it credit for and it moves along very nicely. I don't think it's a slog until you get to the raid and that's only because any story that has 4-5 things going on within a short period of time is going to succumb to this. It's really not that bad though if you have the benefit of reading the manga as opposed to an anime that is going to pad itself out. Anime can go fuck itself, and not because of some 99 vs 2011 nonsense, I just generally don't think that an animated adaptation will be better than the manga and it takes so much longer to watch 130+ episodes than read them.

>>154851267
>>Hyouka is my chosen one.

How strong is razor compared to the hunters and phantom trope? I say he beats most of the phantom trope.

>>154852824
It isn't difficult to be a member of the phantom troupe if you are have a unique ability or you share their ideals.

>I don't know why jump didn't just cancel it

Supposedly Togashi got a very favorable contract after nearly dying over YYH.
In truth the series selling like hotcakes every time it's actually in Jump probably has something to do with it. I remember last year there seemed to be a lot more enthusiasm from the Japs for HxH than other series. The spoilers came earlier, and there were constant attempts to fool people with fakes.

A weekly schedule's a weekly schedule. You need to get that chapter out no matter what, regardless of exhaustion, illness, or living conditions.

Someone should post Togashi's comments about everything leading up to him ending YYH.

It's actually during this time that he started to have back pain

>>154860270

There's an image somewhere explaining it.
Basically all of Togashi's health problems can be traced back to the end of YYH. I've heard that Jump was even more brutal towards authors back then than they are today.
Togashi isn't lazy, he just has common sense. Read up on what authors still have to go through.

>Interviewer: Four years ago, you told us, ‘I go to bed at 2:00 a.m. and wake up at 5:00 a.m. to work on the manuscript. I’ve been doing this for 15 years, so it really affects my body.’ Have you increased your hours of sleep?
>Oda: Basically…it hasn’t changed. I work towards my deadlines, so I’m just as busy as when I was younger, and I’ve managed to pull it off each time with three hours of sleep. And if I do sleep more hours, I’ll have to take those hours away from something else I have to do. I don’t like that, so my hours haven’t changed. If I decide that I’m going to sleep for four hours, it makes me dread that I’ll have to sleep an extra hour. But after turning in the manuscript, I give myself one day to get plenty of sleep. I used to catch up on sleep like this since I was younger, so that’s where I adjust everything and leave everything else a mess.”

This.

I watched HXH because everyone said it was supposed to be a "good" shounen. I dropped it at the end of the Phantom Troupe arc.

The main character is nothing but a cookie cutter goku clone. We're expected to believe he risks his life to meet his deadbeat dad who left him and he doesn't have an inkling of hate?

Kirapika wants to get revenge and this is something we can get behind. But then he ends up only killing one person then decides to give up. He didn't avenge anything! Oh an godforbid he kills anyone else because now killing is wrong. No let's let them live so that they can regain their power later.

Killua just seems like he's along for the ride. He's a worthless character. You could replace him with a pet dog and it would be more entertaining.

You mean yorkshin? That was easily a great arc if you weren't into it welp it's a good thing you stopped because you were not gonna like chimera ant.
>The main character is nothing but a cookie cutter goku clone. We're expected to believe he risks his life to meet his deadbeat dad who left him and he doesn't have an inkling of hate?
Just because you project your own feelings into him Tyrone doesn't mean he is like you.

He explains why he can't kill anyone else beside the spiders. Did you even pay attention?

He's there to mirror Gon it's amazing to see him go from a try hard kid to a caring friend. You won't see that ever since you gave up on yorkshin.

Yorkshin is easily a 10/10 arc, everyone who disagrees didn't pay attention

I used to be anti 1999 fag until I actually watched it. What a piece of art it is. I understand people that are pissed about 2011. Still, I like them both, but 1999 takes the cake seriously.

>>154863564
no there were more fillers than that. They are all during the first arc though. The worst filler of all is when they get lost in the tunnel and Leorio see his friend in a mirage. The rest is manageable and even kind of good (when they are all on the big boat)

He makes great memorable characters but his endings are total garbage, it's a shame because his world building is also amazing and you can totally immerse yourself in his world's. But again his endings are so infuriating.

I seem to remember hearing a while back that HxH was going to start back up again. There was a big hype for it in Jump and everything, but then... nothing. What happened to that?

If he can write such great characters all the time then I'm sure he can do a good ending. I know that if HxH ever finishes the ending will be strong. I have faith in Togashi.

He's not wrong about CA.

It was a complete low point of the whole show. It wasn't because of the content or any of that, it was the endless narration that solely served to slow episodes down.

Really don't need to be told what is happening at the exact moment that it is happening. It was a serious fucking gaff, I only got through that tripe by skipping through the narration.

The narration was used as storytelling device that worked perfectly in giving the events on screen a greater sense of importance and (sigh) epicness, for lack of a better word. I hope you are not serious when you say you skipped parts because then I'll seriously hope for you to kill yourself.

Next to noone mention events in the manga either. When was the last you seen anyone actually discuss the 3 chapters after Chrollo vs Hisoka? What about the 11 boring ass chapters before it? Most of HxH is pretty underwhelming.

>>154888333
People who have reread the CA arc say it has an excellent pacing and I believe they are right. The reason for why it is so good is because Togashi set a lot of stuff up, many storylines, themes and characters that paid off in the end and made one of the best arcs in manga/anime. If you hate it just for its lenght or (perceived) slowness you should seriously reconsider your opinions.

The setup to the DC for one thing. Chapters 340-346 is the epitome of delivering the information in the driest way imaginable. With the exception of Ging, Pariston, Beyond and the 4th Prince, the characters all felt wooden while 97% of the exposition was impersonal to the character speaking.Wanna know what would've more interesting than reading full length chapters of mindless text about the DC? Actually seeing it from the perspective of a survivor or two for more than a few measly panels.

Gon doesn't have to be "like me" If the story was more like Candide and Gon was Dr. Pangloss, then it would actually be interesting. HxH was hyped as a "deconstruction" and did not deliver.

I know why he can't kill off other people. I was expecting him to kill off all the spiders. Not an unreasonable expectation.

>>154889627
I-i don't think you can draw a line through those points, anon.

Watched 32 episodes, liked pretty much everything about the show until introduction of "nen". It was so good to have a show without random shitty power ups. Does it recover from that or more shit is one the way?

>>154834692

>>154891544
Well, let's say if you had skipped the part that introduces nen for almost the entire rest of the anime you wouldn't know what the fuck is going on at any point in time and how that one guy just did that thing. So yeah, nen is used a whole lot and if you don't like that you probably should stop watching it, no need to force yourself through it.

>>154875980
I heard Kite was fleshed out more in the manga.

I read the beginning and I'm confused as to why people think his introduction in the manga amounts to anything significant over his sudden appearance in the 2011 anime. He only appears for a few pages.

Not true. My IQ is 108 and HxH is one of my favorite shows of all time (currently reading through it as well).

Again, you were clearly not paying attention because Kurapika said to himself what was the best option in his deadlock was getting back Gon and Killua, ultimately putting his friends before his goal.

Only reason you were disappointed because you prefer him to be a Sasuke type edgelord looking to kill anyone .

He's talking about some parts with filler in it. Other than the hallucination tree, the girl on the blimp and the detour to the next exam, that's pretty much it. And they're very minor and fit in seamlessly. 2011 has added scenes too, which somehow get a pass for whatever reason.

Gon was never intended to succeed. Netero let him join the mission out of respect because he proved he was capable and he wanted to avenge Kite even if he died trying. Plus he needed something to hopefully keep Pitou entertained if she somehow came back to the palace soon.

HxH is the 'straightest' shounen I've ever seen that wasn't Fairy Tail. It takes everything that's stupid about shounen and makes it even more painful because it's just more shameless while being more pretentious about it. All of the 'strategic' puzzles are so open that there's no way to follow along with any of the character's reasoning or thought processes because you just don't know what anyone is going to pull out of their ass next. So whole episodes are dedicated to everyone standing around and explaining the most basic, meaningless shit at each other autistically and trying to reason through things in a universe where you have no idea how anything is going to play out logically at all, so all you can do it sit there until someone dumps their made out to be clever after the fact solution on you.

Art of manga doesn't always = Quality

You might as well have incredible talent/skills of drawing the manga itself, but have zero aptitude regarding the plot itself and/or dealing with the characters and making them memorable.

I'm speaking as a artist here, some times you don't need to have these godly skills of drawing if all you wanna do is tell the story behind it. Even so much as a crude sketch can immensely help on trying to get the feel of the storyline. Not everyone's perfect and the Chimera Arc alone lasted fucking ten years to even finish if I'm not mistaken. That alone is a achievement, no matter how many twists and turns, even if absurd he had to make. He somehow managed to end what he started and he didn't even stop there and call it quits.

He even managed to literally twist these characters regardless of who they were into something you'd least expect from them.

Huh, I guess that's what I like about the whole thing, near a point, it tries to... dare I say, put the characters in completely unexpected situations in order to pull their best/worst traits/emotions/bottled feelings. It makes the characters feel less one-dimensional. But at the same time, some people just want to see the show for the "fights" and they might feel frustrated about the narrator and the characters themselves having so many different views.

I feel like the author rather prefers the journey/tension of the journey itself than the climax/conclusion of any given situation because it gives him freedom to write the characters in various ways unlike the climax/conclusion moments where almost everyone expects him to write the plot as they'd see fit or that would better suit the characters' situation when you can tell that he loves to make the reader/viewer stay on its seat with whichever twists he comes up with.

>Huh, I guess that's what I like about the whole thing, near a point, it tries to... dare I say, put the characters in completely unexpected situations in order to pull their best/worst traits/emotions/bottled feelings.

Hit the nail on the head. Togashi said exactly that in an interview he did in JUMP GIGA last year.

>>154938443
But berserk, blade the immortal and vagabond dude are great if not better writers as well, so your " focus on the bigger" speech is lost. Togashi a fucking hack period and no amount of looking past his inability to draw will change that

Leorio = Kuwuraba
Killua = Hiei
Kurapika = Kurama

I'm glad I turned out to be wrong. Killua is a massively more balanced character than Hiei. I feel as if all the Hunter x Hunter characters are their equivalents + a spin

>>154944726
Some of these are off.

Leorio and Gon needs to be switched
Netero for lawful neutral
Meruem for Chaotic Neutral
Shiapouf for Lawful Evil

>>154943558

I don't think the arc was entirely written to make the reader/viewer like Meruem completely though. But rather, question the humanity of the same, whom he himself was even struggling to comprehend and other characters.

I mean, early in the arc (this is from memory so don't quote me on this), Gon said something about not caring for "bugs who can't even care for each other" and Kite saying this would be a dangerous view. I'd love to be corrected in case I got that wrong though.

Then you later see Gon acting completely desperate to get his revenge, blind from rage and hatred over Pitou due to what happened to Kite while the Royal Guards were still caring for the King, the King slowly caring about Komugi and Pitou caring for Komugi and trying to treat her because she cares about the King, who Komugi has a influence upon. They still care for each other, even if for their own reasons.

They're very clearly bugs with hybrid variations, but due to the "rare" human genes, they gained a bit of "humanity" as well. This is what the King was struggling figuring out, since he was completely unsure of why he was even caring for Komugi in the first place. Memories might even have a effect on this, wherever he got them from, due to the large human consumption the Queen had, but that's more arguable. This also affected every Queen's child individuality and former memories, even though it might not be 100%, but rather a mixture, much like how the ants' hybrid species feel rather mixed due to what she may have eaten previously (Rammot thrown for example, he's a rabbit+shrike+human+ant hybrid, meaning she ate these species in order to conceive him, same applies to any other).

The King reminds me of a infant that is given too much power and hardly ever taught how to use it. Or, in this case, taught wrong and never realized or learned the concept of humanity/compassion until Komugi came along and he started to question himself and his deeds.

Another memester crying about Togashi's apparent inability to draw. Disregarded.

I would like him more if he didn't have that stupid hat and the fugly west.

I made Leorio chaotic because he's impulsive, childish and easily disrupted, as seen with his perversion getting the better of him during the hunter exam arc

Gon's all of these as well, but he's also strict with his own behavior at times, such as when he refuses to use his new hunter license before he fights Hisoka.

I think any sort of straightness in Leorio personality comes from his good side, rather than any orderliness, whereas while Gon is very similar, he exercises enough self control to sometimes resist his impulses, he definitely could be chaotic good though

I'd say Netero is chaotic neutral because he literally just doesn't care but he still has basic human empathy. He's whimsical and carefree, as seen when he plays his game with Gon and Killua, and sometimes does strange things on impulses, such as releasing his bloodlust to scare Gon for no reason. When he was fighting Meruem, he forced himself to initiate the fight because he was worried he'd lose the will to fight, I think he did this because he wanting to have a fight for personal fun more than anything else (after all, he really did enjoy it) but if you interpret his actions as loyalty to his employers over morally instead, then I'd agree with him being lawful. He's definitely quite ambiguous

Shiapouf probably is better choice for lawful evil. I didn't include him because it'd feel awkward to mention him but not Meruem, and to not include the other royal guard. All the characters I've picked are ones that had a large impact on the fans.

>>154945620
No need to counter, it's the easiest thing to claim and isn't even true.

Togashi publishing those chicken scratches isn't indicative of drawing ability, it's laziness.

Is Killua gay? I'm not fishing for anything. Is he an actual homosexual?

>>154946351
You're not to first to ask that and definitely won't be the last.

Answer's no

>>154946351
he is straight but gon-sexual

>>154946505
Nah it's just a bromance dude.

>>154945638
Considering evil is basically just "Against humans" here ant king should be lawful evil as he sticks to his own code.

Chrollo is a theif, he won't follow any laws other than a coin flip, which is more chaotic than lawful, although Hisoka is the right choice for chaotic evil

>>154946351
when will homosexuals and fangirls stop pretending friendship between males is a front for sexual intent

>>154946637
I don't have gay-goggles on and I don't actively seek out romance between characters. My preference is platonic friendships over romance in my entertainment because if romance is given a hand 9/10 times it'll rip off your whole arm and derail the whole plot and it'll be 3 seasons of three-ways and then "villain of the week" and then nobody can be decent and is terrible. Either way, I digress, I can't quite figure this one out, is it the innocent love between friends, is it a kid who hasn't ever had a friend in his life being overly attached to a homie who showed him kindness, or does he actually have genuine romantic feelings towards Gon? I can't tell. Some of the stuff he says is too ambiguous for me to tell.

I'd bet on this.

Give him a break, you'd probably be the same if you had a 'special' family that kept torturing you in order to turn you into a full-fledged assassin with restraint to never make friends with anyone.

>>154946971
You can't tell because you're a retard. It's two kids being good friends.

Yes, it's so uncommon for teenage boys to get embarrassed by displays of emotion.

>>154947807
>teenage boys
That's the problem. They will become men soon and manly men need to hide every single one of their emotions at all times. Showing emotions means you're gay or have a vagina.

at least be subtle about it

Was that rabbit ant thinking killua was talking to him when he was yelling about friendship? That's funny

Isn't Ging or any of GI's gamemasters literally unbeatable? Can't they just bring as many of the bullshit cards they want to "reality" and use them at will?

If that's not the case, can't they just teleport to GI or do they need a console like everyone else? Also, why doesn't Ging just use a card to travel to his immortal granddad's location?

I thought exactly the same too, kek. Actually, Rammot's response was kind of unexpected. He was really hesitating for a while there and going on about "not being able to control himself". That with the whole drooling thing also made me think about rabies? Why was he thinking of keeping Killua's head while eating the rest?

I missed him, I felt he could have gotten more potential in the story given the special Nen treatment he got, but eh. At least his death was fast and not as brutal as other ants.

I wonder if Killua got rid of the body too, since he was only seen crushing the head while his body stood.
