Name a single western comic book arc capable of this kind of deep symbolism. I'll wait.

Metabarons
>>87980860
That is the worst loss image I have ever seen.
fuck me, that's loss innit
You're cheating at this point.
HxH has a god-tier story and got animated by Madhouse of all studios, that's a blend too-perfect.
>>87980871
>Metabarons
>>87980896
Madhouse is fucking shit and it was a disservice to the manga. The fact that people keep posting shots from the anime is saddening.
>>87980860
Necronomicon
>>87980899
Nice argument.
>>87980896
Lousy comic book writers really can't compete with Togashi

>I am Promethea, the child who stands Between fixed earth and insubstantial air, a thought who yet treads matter's rain-swept strands. And mortals are the sandals that I wear.
>I am Promethea. From Minds, pure light I stoop into Earth's dark gloom. From Fables day Descending into Fact's cold weighty might, From lyric atmospheres to mammal clay.
>I am Promethea, the rumored one, The mythic brough that Reason, strains to bends. I am that voice left, once the book is done...I am the dream that waking does not end.

Who's definition of "deep" are you using? George Lucas'?
>>87981020
This kind of deep
>>87980860

God the third act of Naruto was awful. Shippuden as a whole was not really all that good but the third act fucked the whole thing right into the dirt.
Watchmen
Saga of the Swamp Thing
>>87981064
That looks like Lucas' poetry right there.
>>87980924
No competition
>>87981020
I never noticed that in phantom menace.
>>87980911
>Madhouse is fucking shit
>Tokyo Godfathers, Paprika, Paranoia agent, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Summer Wars, Redline, Wolf Children
okay then
>>87980860
Enemy Ace: War Idyll
HxH is good but you're an autistic fucker op
>>87984798
The Madhouse adaptation of HxH is a disgrace.
The original Nippon Animation adaptation of HxH was perfect.
I can get chills just looking at this page.
>>87984798
summer wars was shit though
>>87981020
That's not symbolism though. It's a trope.
>>87984912
The original adaptation was shit because it wasn't Hunter X Hunter.
>>87980860
Literally every Morrison's book.
The Dr. Manhattan issue of Watchmen.
>>87980860
There is nothing "deep" about using the same composition and poses for characters you fucking weeb its called body language.
>>87987028
It had better animation and directing so it's still better regardless.
>>87980911
>it was a disservice to the manga
>>87988252
This is true.
I also find the treatment of Meruem (Aka NOT CELL!) and Gon as both being sort of dumb assholes/objectively crazy more interesting anyway.
Both are to be respected, but lets be real. Both of them are fucking nuts. It's one of the most constant reactions people have to Gon. He's not really sane. It's totally part of his character as a "burn both ends classic Hero/Achielles" type, but that is not sane. It's "mental sickness" tier. He fucking destroys himself, and has no compunctions about doing it again if he has to.
Does this make him a hero? Yes.
Does that mean he's healthy? Fuck no. It's totally the opposite.
There wasn't even necessarily a good reason for him to lose his shit like that with Pitou. Or the Bomber.
>>87988191
Or the Rorschach flashback has mirrored panel composition from beginning to end.
>>87980860
Why did Cell die of aids?
Why did he let that girl die of aids?
Why did Cell purposely give that girl aids?
>>87980860
>>87981064
>HOLY SHIT THE POSES ARE THE SAME
That's basic symbolism you butter muncher.
