Is Hunter x Hunter 2011 targeted towards 12 years old stupid kids ?
I always was a fan of the manga i read when i was younger and started watching the 1999 anime a couple weeks ago. It was amazing, i didn't mind the change from the manga because the pacing was almost perfect. There was no wasted seconds on those 62 episodes. The ending was a bit anti-climactic though. I watch the OVA who gave me a more satsifying ending but it was a bit weaker than the original show (i think the director was a big part of the awesomeness of the 1999 anime). and i wish i stopped there.
So i started watching the 2011 reboot from ant chimera arc, at first i was troubled by the voices i don't like Killua's new voice(i don't want to be mean but seriously sometimes it's like two people dubbing the kid) and Gon is a bit weird because i really liked what it was in the 1999 anime. But this are really a minor point because i was expecting the actor do be different. The things i dislike are all those flashback and the other usual tropes of shonen anime that was avoided in the 1999 version.
The worst, and by Far, is this fucking narrator. Seriously ? Who thought it would be a good idea to tell instead of showing ? The 1999 was gold because he didn't tell much and was always showing stuff. And that's poor writing and screening because it's showing me a forest a telling me a story instead of showing me the story. But ok, i can get over that i love the characters and the story.

But now i'm up tu 111 and i can't take it anymore i won't watch the rest. It's SHIT. The narrator is taking up to 70% of every episode and the moment when they start the attack (for those who knows) it's a 2 seconds that takes 1.5 episodes. It's obnoxious as fuck, the narrator is explaining every techniques, every trail of thoughts, every things that's going on, that lead a character to think how he think during his life, stating the obvious, stating what just happened in the previous scene.... Even a 12 years old kids don't need that much details seriously.
I just can't keep watching this shit, the fights will last for episodes and there will be no tension because the narrator is telling me everything while it's happening. like seriously no spoil but there's invisible people, you can see it (because there is still image at this point of the show) but the narrator then tells you "they're invisible" it's stupid as fuck and it's killing everything ! It's supposed to be near the end of the arc a big climactic moment but it's filled by an obnoxious voice explaining everything for the stupid 12 years old that we are.

I guess i am a 99 faggot now, i find it sad because i really wanted to like the reboot. I guess i'll just go for the manga now.

Narrator is also in the manga, maybe even more than in the anime. Have fun.
>>133679883

>>133680290
Well shit..
>not reading the manga
The narrator just doesn't work in the anime.
>>133680432
Yep. Might feel slow to you but episode 111 actually covers 3 chapters of the manga.
>>133679883
dropped this shit at chapter 30 its so fucking boring and seems that the chimera ant arc its not worth to watch.
>>133680778
Chimera is worth it. I don't love this show like some of the faggots on here but the chimera ending was beautiful.
Also the York New OVA was the best anime.
>>133680483
>>133680605
At list with the manga if it's really obnoxious i can turn the pages i'm not forced to read every explanations.
>>133681649
You're not forced to read the subs or watch every single second of each episode either.
>>133679883
99fags are literally worse than 2011fags.
Animefags are cancer. Please, kill yourself
>>133681909
>99fags are literally worse than 2011fags.
Not even close.
>>133679883
Back to One Piece.
>>133679883
I don't know what to tell you, I love the 2011 series. It's so far been the only long running shonen I've been able to sit through and I've tried them all minus One Piece.
Also you seem to be comparing it harshly to the first series. I don't understand why people cape so hard for it, both have their goods and bads.
>>133680778
>>133680945
I love HxH but the Chimera arc drags way too fucking long. The villains were some of the most obnoxious I've ever seen.
It's definitely worth it for the handful of impressive moments, but damn does it overstay it's welcome.
>>133682105
I wouldn't have a problem with the Ant arc if it were significantly shorter and didn't bring the great hiatus arc.
It stalled more interesting plot lines, damn it.
After reading this there was only one word in my mind. Ａ ｕ ｔ ｉ ｓ ｍ
>>133682105
You could say it goes on for too long but it doesn't drag at all. There are several settings in the same arc and it almost never stagnates, even during the invasion the fights are short as fuck and new things are always happening. Also it doesn't have villains.
I hate this shit adaptation and the stupid memes it brought because they didn't know how to do CA.
I absolutely love how people shit on Chimera Ants because of the narrator. It's like people internalized the rule of 'show don't tell' so much that they won't even think about narration and exposition before labeling it as shit writing. Sure everyone loves subtlety but the narrator during the Chimera Ant arc served an important function. Those key moments that people like to cream themselves about were so memorable largely because they handled the narrative precisely this way.
>>133682314
>shit adaptation
>>133682343
>literally everything about Kite
>episodes 100 to 110 slow as balls

Off the top of my head.
>>133682422
You don't actually think 2011 is a bad adaptation, you're just trying to excuse CA's shit pacing by saying "the manga did it better!"
Thanks for proving my point with those greentexts.
>>133682314
True, poor wording on my part.
Still
>99fags
>>133682466
>explain why it's shit
>you're just excusing the pacing!
>pacing in a manga
Here's some more greentext. You can stop being retarded now.
>>133682314
They didn't really know how to do any arc.
>>133680337
thats the correct usage of the term
Of course it's for 12 year old kids, it's a shonen series, it's LITERALLY FOR KIDS.
>>133682547
Yeah, the pacing is shit in the manga too.
>>133682330
If you cut literaly every narrator's words in 116 you'll have a much better scene and a much powerfull moment.
And it's just one of all those episode.
>>133682569
Except for the Hunter Exam, Heavens Arena, Yorkshin, Greed Island, Chimera Ant, and the Election.
>>133682661
No you won't. If you're going to target an episode, don't target the one standing as one of the best anime episodes ever produced.
>>133682674
Sorry, your joke wasn't funny.
>>133682661
>Pitou telling the truth
>Killua recognizing Pitou's gesture
>Gon seeing Kite instead of Komugi
The narrator made all of those scenes better.
>muh mature shounen anime for mature people like myself
Are 99fags the most unbearable people in the world?
>>133682674
Heavens Arena and Election are the only ones i'd say they did good.
>>133682749
99 isn't mature, it's just poorly written melodrama with cliche characters.
>>133682714
>the one standing as one of the best anime episodes ever produced.
>>133679883
>The things i dislike are all those flashback and the other usual tropes of shonen anime that was avoided in the 1999 version.
Nigger what? Off the top of my head, Leorio and Paku had flashbacks. There is literally one flashback in CA and it's just as minor as those two. You're being stupid.
>>133682796
That's exactly my point.
>>133682547
>manga doesn't have pacing
Is this how deluded hxhfags are?
>>133682714
>>133682746
No but seriously, the episode is standing out of the others because mid-episode the narrator shuts up.
Another brilliant HxH thread
Leaving everything else aside, I don't understand how anyone can negatively compare the voice acting in 2011 to the voice acting in 1999.
The voice acting in 1999 is legitimately bad. Most of the characters sound entirely wooden; Killua's is especially bad in that she sounds like has a cold all the time. The voice actors of 1999 seem like cool people and they clearly had a lot of fun with the series, in the drama CDs and musicals and such, but they're not actually that good.
>>133682631
Do you know what pacing is? There's a constant flow of new info and situations. There's nothing slow about the way it's written.
On the other hand i remember 2011 spending like 5 minutes explaining the fucking elevator.
>>133682910
The episode wouldn't be powerful without the narrator's interjections in the previous episode and throughout the whole arc building up Pitou and Gon.
Back to your daily Naruto threads.
>>133682746
>Pitou telling the truth then the narrator say "pitou was telling the truth"
>Killua recognizing Pitou's gesture then the narrator say "Killua reconized Pitou's gesture"
>Gon seeing Kite instead of Komugi then the narrator say "he was seeing Kite in place of Komugi"
The narrator just kills everything, you're not stupid anon you don't need someone to tell you what's going on.
>>133682944
The exact same argument is used to defend the anime's pacing. They're both shit.
>>133682910
And you know what makes it stand out? It's not the fact that the narrator is bad, it's the way they used the silence. It's just well handled storytelling tool, and if anything only more evidence of the narrator's positive contribution.
Can I ask /a/ a question? What is it with stupid dipshits addressing the entire board about their opinion on a show? It is like they are screaming 'look at me, give me attention because I can't get it offline!" I mean it is one thing to not like a show but to insult the fanbase is faggotry.
I simply can't comprehend how sad the OP must be to stoop to this low for a discussion. Maybe my theory that most anons are losers is actually true. Christ.
>>133683018
>Maybe my theory that most anons are losers is actually true
How new are you?
>re-watching Yu Yu Hakusho
>notice all the similarities with HxH
It's interesting see how Togashi fleshed out ideas he started with YYH. Like the Genkai tournament, it's essentially the Hunter Exam.
>>133682976
>Pitou telling the truth then the narrator say "pitou was telling the truth"
We had no way of knowing if that actually was the truth or not.
>Killua recognizing Pitou's gesture then the narrator say "Killua reconized Pitou's gesture"
Same as above, all he did is look troubled.
>Gon seeing Kite instead of Komugi then the narrator say "he was seeing Kite in place of Komugi"
Happened the other way around, and the narrator was putting the emphasis on how it was the only thing in Gon's mind.
You're literally retarded.
>>133682949
I'm sorry but you're totally wrong. If you need a narrator to build up Pitou and Gon that's just poor writing. And i can agree that sometimes it can help explaining the obscur stuff (even though i prefer not) when it's obnoxious like in the previous episodes it just doesn't work.
>>133682939
>Most of the characters sound entirely wooden
2011 had the opposite problem for me. Voices were too irritating and hammy.
>>133683049
>needs someone to tell him what to think
>believe is not the one who's retarded
>>133679883
Yes the the show is targeted towards kids. The only difference is the kids in 2011 are far more stupid than the kids in the late 90s and the turn of the 21st century
>>133683053
>If you need a narrator to build up Pitou and Gon that's just poor writing.
All i remember the narrator doing to build it up was saying "Gon was raring to fight" at the end of episode 115.
>>133683053
I must say that you've made a pariah of yourself in this club. What is instantly evident to us (the mastery of Togashi's HxH) isn't something you grasp. It's an exercise on futility to educate on the whys and wherefores of storytelling. Suffice it to say you have proven yourself a dunce among gentlemen. I consider my point carried and Chimera Ant again redeemed.
>>133683119
>le wrong generation
>back in MY day
Fuck off
>>133683180
Are you the same anon that tried to force the CA copypasta a few months ago? You did the same thing in the thread about Meruem.
You're really sad.
>>133683180
kill yourself
>>133683094
It's only giving you extra information on characters, not telling you what to think.
>>133682903
Please tell me what you think pacing means.
>>133683228
What I'm saying is Chimera Ant is not a journey about war. It is a story about being human. And what it means to be human. And according to Togashi, this means being in touch with your environment and world. And I agree with him.
Leave the advanced discussion of subtext and symbolism to those of us who have done the requisite study to understand Chimera Ant.
>>133679883
>I always was a fan of the manga
>complains about the narrator in the chimera ant arc like it was an anime-only addition.
huh?
OP is arguing for the sake of arguing. He can't even troll properly by constantly changing his stance on the show.
>>133683362
the narration in the manga never disrupted the flow of the events
what works in one medium doesn't work in another
you know this
>>133683228
if you can't comprehend how deep and elegant is chimera ant you should just fuck off to >>133683413 and keep discussing your naruto shit instead of coming here just to say a line of a meaningless effort to take down an entire fanbase that are not retards, like you are.
>>133683433
>narration doesn't work in anime
lmao
>>133683433
This, when doing an adaptation you shouldn't try to do the same thing but instead do the best thing.
>>133683488
It's a manga adaptation dumbass. 1:1 works because they're both visual mediums.
>>133683342
>>133683440
But i love the CA arc. This is blatant shitposting to try and make people who enjoy it seem pretentious.
>>133683531
Do you think the same about LN or VN adaptations? They're both visual mediums so1:1 should work.
>>133683590

Anon.
>>133683433
tn the manga it was clearly an stylistic choice from togashi and it had to be adapted into the anime. It would've been fine to omit it if the manga always had narration but Togashi chose to use it only for the palace invasion arc.
I have to say I didn't like it on both the anime and manga, but the anime team made the correct decision on keeping it, since it was their aim from the beginning to keep the adaptation as close to the manga as possible
>>133683759
>since it was their aim from the beginning to keep the adaptation as close to the manga as possible
If that was their aim then they fucked up pretty quickly.
>there are people who experienced this scene for the first time without voice acting and animation
I feel sorry for mangafags.

>>133683725
Disregard that i suck cocks.
>>133683822
If you want filler you can always watch 99. 2011 truly exceed the original work through comprehensive adapting.
>>133683759
There's no narrator in the 99's adaptation and it's great without it.
>>133683882
My sides.
>>133683857
Have you ever played a VN? The visual aspects are just stock images reused over and over. They still have to describe a scene like any other novel.
>>133683882
I guess this is the hot new meme.
>>133679883
>>There was no wasted seconds on those 62 episodes.
>>HxH 1999
Stop wearing these pink-colored glasses, 99 was SLOW.
AS.
FUCK.
That's actually the main reason I dropped the series and just kept reading the manga. In 2002.
The new series may be crappy on some points (The BGM actually), but the pacing is right on for the beginning . And the slow pacing for the Chimera Ants arc was already in the manga.
>>133683918
99 never adapted any scene that had narration.
>muh pacing
Dank new buzzword senpaitachi.
>>133683918

>>133683961
>And the slow pacing for the Chimera Ants arc was already in the manga.
They did 120 chapters in 60 episodes. That's really slow considering how a good amount of those chapters was written.
>>133683846
I actually feel more sorry for you if you need something to be animated in order to experience a scene.
>>133679883
>show don't tell
>>133683961
No, 99 is well paced. Being slow doesn't mean the pacing is off.
>>133684133
>No, CA 2011 is well paced. Being slow doesn't mean the pacing is off.
>>133684133
no it isn't you nostalgiafag. it was 30% shitty filler.
>>133683846
I didn't have to listen to a screeching cake in the manga, so it's all good.
>>133684016
They adapted Togashi's writing through dialogue and visual mean instead of using an obnoxious narrator.

>>133683857
>>133683857
I love how I can identify each of these posters from using the same reaction images every thread.
>>133684133
The 5th time we had a slow panning over some scenery with some contemplative version of Kaze no Uta playing in the background, I couldn't do it anymore.
(Even though I recognize that 2011 handled its soundtrack like shit and 99's was WAY more interesting)
The Hunter Exam dragged on like hell. Also hated how even early, they already were padding the story with filler action.
>>133684016
Simply put it didn't need it, HxH manga needs narration because it is not in motion.
However when you have the ability to show motion you don't need narration anymore because you can just show the scene.
Simply put when it comes to animation unless, the characters can't talk a narrator is unnecessary.
>>133684190
>They adapted Togashi's writing
no tey didn't. they butchered it.
99: Gon felt victimized and losing his shit in dramatized fashion after being punch by Hisoka.
Manga/2011: Gon sulked in silent for his bruised ego, a much more dignified character.
99: Gon won't lie and cheat (didn't steal Ponzu's badge, thus omitted his /sneaky nature)
Manga/2011: Gon displayed his bargaining skills and sneaky nature by stealing Ponzu's badge.
The latter characterization is one that'd impressed Killua and other people who met Gon and get awestruck by his lack of morality but charismatic nature.
Cliches and derivative plot/characters, inconsistent characterizations, cheap fillers, hammy soap opera-ish angst, cheap abuse of asspulls. A lot of these are what 1999 series adaptation is guilty of.
>>133684174
It wasn't, and it's not nostalgia i'm OP i just watch 99 last week.
>>133684169
I never said i didn't like CA because it was slow. I actually enjoyed CA so far it made me overlook the changes(VA, direction and narration for the most) between the two adaptation and gave me a fresh start for watching 2011 because i think it's a good arc and i wanted to see more.
It's really the narrator that put me off, when he's more and more interrupting dialogues, fights and the story for explaining more stuff.
>>133684256
>you need motion to tell stories visually
kek. mangafags contradicting themselves once more.
>>133683433
>>the narration in the manga never disrupted the flow of the events
>>one chapter every 3 months
>>50% of it its the narration
EL OH EL. Yeah no.
>>133684301
No they adapted it.
You do realize that there were things that 2011 handle things differently from the manga as well right?
For instance.
Manga/99: Gon is determined but Melancholic about leaving the Island.
2011: Gon is happy about leaving the island.
Manga/99: Gon immediately wants to go find Killua.
2011: Gon forgets about Killua, until Kurapika reminds him.
Manga:The people who Killua murders in the hallway, are polite to him.
2011: They're tryinig to start a fight.
Also Kite.
>>133684133
Lets be honest, its not. The hunter exam took 30 episodes to finish thats like the half of the show, while yorkshin without the ova is 10-11 episodes...
>>133684392
>one chapter every 3 months
False. You could at least have looked at the hiatus chart before pretending to know what you're talking about, he always released a bunch of them at once.
Also what you described doesn't change what's happening in the manga.
Just doing a test here.
>>133684379
I'm not making a contradiction at all.
Anime is in motion.
Manga is not.
Manga relies on both words and pictures therefore a narrator doesn't hurt it.
Anime relies on motion and sound, therefore a narrator isn't necessary.
>>133684379
Another test.
>>133684525
I agree yorkshin was a disapointment when i finished the show. But i hear they decided to end the show because they didn't want to fill the wait for new chapter from the manga. And if you put together yorkshin 99 and the OVA it's actually really well done.
>>133679883
2011 is superior in every aspect.
The definitive version
>>133684522
those are minor details that barely change the characterization
99 didn't adapt it. Manga Gon would never do something like the 1999 series did. The 1999 not only writes goody goody things for Gon (more endearing to mainstream audience I'm sure), it affected his mannerism. 1999 overemphasized Gon's wild eye innocent/dumb side, while missing those quite, dignified/manly/sneaky moment, so the 1999 Gon is not well rounded, and that goody goody portrayal contradicts the increasingly selfish and crazy Gon later in the story.
1999 series
Killua started out very emo, cold and distance from Gon (Gon came to say hi first) didn't know the concept of 'friend'. His dark emo expression and shadowed on the face screams 'daaarkk....killer' loudly, obviously.
Manga/2011
Killua is a cheerful boy and appeared normal on the surface from the start, came to say hi to Gon and introduce himself first. No one can tell Killua is not normal at first (Leorio just thought he's just some spoiled brat, underestimating him) and Gon commented on how Killua doesn't look like a killer at all.
1999 series
Killua suffered from guilt of who he is/his family in that stupid filler (that completely ruined the ball game with Netero).
Manga/2011
Killua took pride in his family and especially his dad obviously, and his main rebellion came from not wanting to be told what to do and having no choice of a lifestyle of his own, not because he has some conscience /morality inner conflicts that the 1999 series kept hammering on
1999 series
Killua was tormented by struggles of suppressing his dark, dangerous killer nature as filler added some episodes with the bear and Mito.
Manga/2011
Killua has NO such struggle at all whatsoever. He didn't have problem suppressing his killer nature. Rather, his REAL ongoing struggles came from over self-preservations on the face of danger as taught by Illumi.
>>133684693
I don't disagree with the rest of your post, but seriously? Do you really think the whole Kite thing "barely changed the characterization"? Not even talking about the rest, but the retarded filler in the first half of episode 85 completely ruined the Pitou scene by raising a thousand of death flags. In the manga it really comes out of nowhere.
>>133684795
Kaito change is the only bad part of 2011.
>>133684824
That and incompetent directing.
>>133679883
Hunter x Hunter itself is targeted toward twelve-year-old kids, you idiot.
>>133684795

Yorkshin as a whole (tv+ova) is amazing, i was just pointing out how retarded was the pacing in the hunter exam.
2011 has never been dubbed. Is that why 99fags prefer the less faithful adaption?
>>133684693
And Gon wouldn't given a shit about Kite if he literally just met him, he would have never forgotten Killua for Ging (it would have been the opposite), and also was more upset about the thought of his father abandoning him than dying.
So yes, 2011 Gon isn't much better than the '99 Gon, and would still do shit that manga Gon would never do.
Manga Killua is an edgelord, who didn't give a shit about anything in the exam, besides Gon. 2011 changed him an innocent kid.
1999 made him emo
neither of them are right.
2011 just has little scenes where they alter shit, that changes your overall view of characters and their personalities.
>>133684884
Not all mentors in shounen manga die anon.
>>133685076
If you listen to the 99 dub you will bleed from your ears. One has to be extremely autistic and/or deaf to actually enjoy it.I hope 2011 dub will be like this
Since Madhouse fucked up, what studio do you think should have adapted HxH?
>>133685234
None.
It didn't need another adaptation. Especially since there's no end in sight.
>>133685136
2011 didn't change any of the characters but the gon/kite relationship. which isn't that important his anger at pitou, which is because of his absolutist morality being broken apart.
>>133685234
>Madhouse fucked up

Really? His planning was really good. Everything fit into the themes and fell into place, even events from early in the arc coming into play later.
What hurt CA was the 8+ years it took to finish it.
>>133685136
>Gon wouldn't given a shit about Kite if he literally just met him
Yeah, he would. That's Gon's character.
>Manga Killua is an edgelord, who didn't give a shit about anything in the exam, besides Gon. 2011 changed him an innocent kid.
Now you're just making stuff up.

I read through the thread. 2011 had shit pacing, altered the source material in some stupid ways that don't make sense and only make it worse, didn't know how to use the soundtrack and had shit animation most of the time.
>>133685702

It never once was even as good as the manga, except maybe for a handful of scenes. They also butchered CA.

Man, this.
I'm really sick of morons who just parrot that rule because it's the first and only thing they ever bothered to learn about writing. They don't even bother to think about what they're saying, which is essentially 'words are bad'. They are not, they serve an important function, and they only become a problem when they REPLACE the visual storytelling rather than enhance or supplement it- which is not the case with the CA arc at all. It's a stylistic choice, but also necessary because there's just so much going on internally for so many characters.
And yes, the narrator is annoying, but literally only in the anime. Text boxes are extremely natural in a manga and add some nice impact without forcing cheesy, misplaced dialogue out of the characters.
2011 is better

>>133686405
Sometimes I forget that the Ant arc isn't actually mediocre, only the adaptation is.
That's not even what show don't tell means. It's about not just saying "this happened" but rather actually saying how it all happened. It's about making your reader more involved in the story by not just aving them passively suck up some info from a person saying something, but rather from feeliung lkike they were there as a part of the action from the active and engaging story.Has nothing to do with the presence of narration, but rather with the lack of important parts of your story being told in detail.

>>133686926
It's not even really Madhouse's fault, they can't cut all the narration out but there's no real way to make it work well. The whole palace invasion just isn't suitable for animation, it's intentionally slowed down so when you're watching it in 'real time' rather than being able to quickly read a page, you really feel it.
My clan died in a raid four years ago. They're dead and gone. They're favorite thing was their eyes. I'm gonna collect their eyes.
You don't have be competent to be a Hunter. Leorio is a Hunter.
My other best friend is dying again. He's back in the hospital for his sixteenth time. Good luck with that one. Sick of the bullshit. Sick of all this shit. I don't go out anymore, cause I hate every motherfucker, I don't care what they're up to. Four years I wasted, sippin on drinks at the bar, chit-chatting with fucking nobodies. Now I stay at home, like a fucking hermit. I'm not gonna take any shit from anyone.
I know what's going on. I got set up. I got jumped. Thank god Killua wasn't there to watch me get my fucking ass kicked. He would have wound up with a bleeding anus and prolly become someone's fuccboi. He has a big asshole.
I live for this shit. I love it. Bring it the fuck on.

Chimera arc is a slog for the most part. Never watched 99 but while I agree that the last couple episodes are amazing the pacing was awful and the narration is too much at times. The arcs before this were paced much better. The election arc is pretty good though.

The feeling of this arc and much of hunterxhunter is introspection. That is why there is nothing wrong with the narration. it is just new because not many authors can pull it off.
Im redoing a few episodes to try and get a better more natural colour palette than the one i did first. Old on the right newer on the left...

>>133686405
even novel's writer apply the 'show don't tell' rules, even when they only use words. In the anime the narrator is over-explaining things too many times, it's essentially over-exposition by telling bluntly everything. It's like introducing yourself by saying "my name is john, my parents are dead in a car accident and that's why i'm always angry at car polution." That's way too much exposition for a "hello"
Explain to me why Madhouse hates this guy.

Come back when you've read the manga,
There was maybe a few sentences that didn't need to be included but overall the narration enhances what you're seeing and your understanding of the story. It becomes an annoyance when you listen to it, but it's fine when reading. It's more like sound effects or something in the manga, it's something you can kind of tell from the image but being able to see it with clarity makes it better.
>>133694702
>being a mangafag
>defending the slow and pointless narration
>>133694699
My question was to emphasize the fact that the narrator is talking to me like i can't understand myself what's being showed, like i'm more stupid than when i was 12 years old.
>>133694523

Should we just stop discussing hxh altogether? I don't want these threads to become like the jojo generals
HxH was good but the chimera ant arc was filled with so much ass pull that it killed it for me. Literally gods. They fucking flew across an entire field and caught kite off guard while they were still young and in developement. Don't even think pitou had nen yet. Nuke was an ass pull. Gon san was an ass pull.
>inb4 gon san isn't an ass pull
Why the fuck doesn't everybody in HxH not do their X-San transformation in a fight then? Every fight that was lost. Uvogin for example. His heart was bound and he was about to be killed? Why didn't he just uvogin-san his way out and instantly kill kurapika? That's why gon-san doesn't sit well with me. Every fucking character has 'potential' and to give it all up for a massive power boost is just dumb, espeically when there has been plenty of opportunities in the manga for characters who have been killed to just use it anyway but didn't because x-San wasn't invented yet and was only brought around during the CA because it was an ass pull. Ants were too strong and them getting beat was dumb because of that.
>>133695538
>HxH was good but the chimera ant arc was filled with so much ass pull that it killed it for me.
this. hxhfags are so fucking deluded that their ass pull shit is good

>>133695527
I wish HxH threads would be deleted on sight until it's off hiatus.
>>133695616
hxh is a average battle shonen at best, but these fanboys will insist it's the true deep masterpiece of manga. when it's just an ass pull shonen with bad art.
>>133695538
>They fucking flew across an entire field and caught kite off guard while they were still young and in developement.
Yeah, that's the point. They're already born incredibly powerful. And yes, they had nen, there was like a couple of chapters centered around it that you'd notice if you didn't have ADD.
>Nuke was an ass pull
Nukes were stated to exist in HxH. Again, that's your ADD.
>Why the fuck doesn't everybody in HxH not do their X-San transformation in a fight then?
Not everyone is an enhancer, a child or has as much potential as Gon.
>Every fucking character has 'potential' and to give it all up for a massive power boost is just dumb, espeically when there has been plenty of opportunities in the manga for characters who have been killed to just use it anyway but didn't because x-San wasn't invented yet and was only brought around during the CA because it was an ass pull.
Refer to above. Not everyone has as much as sacrifice as Gon. Also the thinking behind it wasn't "shit i'm losing better powerup", Gon WANTED to die and Gon-san was a mean to do it and punish Pitou at the same. He didn't give a shit about his life anymore, unlike what you suggest.
>>133695574

>>133695728

>>133695767
>Gon WANTED to die and Gon-san was a mean to do it and punish Pitou at the same
How is that not the same as "lol I'm dead anyway might as well just give up all my nen and KO this chain faggot easily since hes dangerous to my entire squad anyway"
>>133695818
How is it the same at all?
>>133695818
Uvogin had his aura completely shut off, chain jail forces the prisoner into a state of zetsu. So how was Uvo supposed to make a nen contract when he couldn't even use nen at all?
>>133695538
>new, powerful beings are an asspull
That would make fucking everything in manga an asspull. They're from the DC and were born from nen users being eaten. The entire point of their existence was that they developed to become very strong, and we literally see how they evolve that way. The nuke wasn't an asspull because we know nuclear weaponry exist in the HxH universe. Gon san wasn't an asspull because it obeys nen rules. If other characters should have used it but didn't, that's called a plot hole. But regardless, they have neither the potential nor the resolve in most cases. Uvo is older and hadn't been stewing in rage and guilt for so long that he would naturally think to sacrifice everything to get revenge before dying.
I swear to god, people are so paranoid about 'asspulls' that they care more about everything being as predictable as possible more than the impact of the events themselves. Hey, who cares about the thematic value of the nuke or the character development behind Gon san, I was surprised that they occured so they're bad writing and unenjoyable moments!
