Is Hunter x Hunter intellectual?
>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”.

>humans ebil but also some are good
Having lengthy explanations after every battle scene doesn't make it intellectual. Nor doesplacing a nuke inside a main character and talking about how bad nukes are
Still love the series though.

No. But it's rabid yet small fan base will scream and cry that it's deep or intelligent when it's pretty basic like early Naruto level easily.

Naruto is very straightforward le power of friendship wins, but I like howGon slowly loses it and mangles the shit out of Pitouand the main character isn't some child of prophecy meant to save the world or become the strongest.
In fact, the current manga arc has himlose his powers and he hasn't appeared since the start lol

Meh, having an ancestor write about somethingout of this worlddoesn't mean he would be an OP savior like Naruto.
