So I'm 3 episodes into this and I have to ask: why isn't Leorio the main character? He's by far the most interesting character of the bunch so far. Gon's Gary Stu nature is very irritating and he just feels like a ripoff of Goku, and I'm having trouble feeling the attitude on the blonde kid (his maturity doesn't suit his age imo). Should I keep watching this?
>>
Yes, keep watching.

>>141115413
>I just watched 3 episodes so I have a full understanding of the characters personalities and their relevance.

Just watch it if you like it, drop it if you don't. But don't make this shitty threads giving us your uninformed opinion.
>>
No, stop watching.

>>141115413
>Gon's Gary Stu nature
Is this bait?
>>
>>141115487
3 episodes in and he's good at literally everything he does while having an obnoxiously positive attitude about everything.
>>
>>141115413
>>141115413
HxH is garbage,don't bother with it.
>>
Leorio's goals don't lead to particularly interesting developments.

Just isn't the case, you'll see, best to not ask people about it.
>>
>>141115496
Gon isn't good at everything you fool. In fact, he fails more often than not. Also the anime changed his personality in the beginning to obnoxiously cheerful so you should switch to the manga starting at chapter 1 first.
>>
>>141115496
You said it yourself. You are three fucking episodes in. Just drop it, the HxH fanbase has enough retards as it is.
>>
>>141115496
>positive attitude about everything
I love how this change in CA arc
>>
>>141115496
He's got naturally good instincts because of growing up in a forest that has creatures that could kill him. He's not even the strongest in the four "main" characters, not even the second strongest. Thats whats nice about HxH, none of the 'main' cast come remotely close to the power level ceiling.

>>141115413
You haven't even met that white haired edgelord yet.

not yet.

He will have his moment.

You will change your opinion about this in the chimera ants arc

>He's not even the strongest in the four "main" characters

Currently, he is the weakest, and less relevant

You've watched 3 episodes out of 148, why would you expect to have grasped their personalities yet? Gon is one of the least Gary Stu battle shounen MCs out there. He's very cute and friendly most of the time but he's also morally questionable, hypocritical, selfish, and mentally unbalanced in ways that cause shit to hit the fan eventually. His positivity bites him in the ass when it doesn't work out and he goes off the deep end completely, he actually ends up being somewhat unlikable due to how genuinely flawed he is. He's inferior in strength to just about every relevant villain, mentor and hunter in the series so he loses fights constantly, and his victories are usually minor.

Leorio is a likable character, but he's comic relief and is barely developed at this point. He's only just getting his own arc now (350 chapters in).
>>
>>141115833
This.
This is the current strength of the MCs

Kurapika > Killua > Leorio > Gon
>>
>>141115883
kurapika isn't that powerful.

He strong under certain conditions
is not this type of series where you can rank it up. like they say, conditions change the outcome of a fight, environment and mentality play an strategic rol.
>>
>>141115883
Where would Leorio rank in physical strength now that he has nen? Would it be the same as Zoldyck Family?

Leorio is literally the strongest man in the HxHverse.

Did your favorite character send Ging flying?
Nope, because he/she's a pussy.

What do you mean Zoldyck family? Leorio would not stand a chance against any member of that family, maybe the fat fuck.

we don't even know nen power and abilites of the fat fukctard

Retard.

I'd say Killua is > Kurapika, because Killua's Nen technique can be used to maximum effectiveness in a variety of situations.

Retard.
>>
>>141115883
How is Leorio stronger then Gon at this point?
>>
>>141116189
>>141116221
Actually charachters are too young to even been fulled developed or have super strong background stories.

On the other hand we see this growth, gon is not the same person that entered the examn, to the kid that got our of the CA arc,

you can see their growth and development.
>>
>>141115883
Unless we are talking about the Spiders, Killua is stronger than Pika familia.

You need to make up your mind retard.

>>141116302
Ah, currently. I thought you meant at the start of the series. Thanks bb <3
>>
>>141115496
>he's good at literally everything he does
He has done barely anything at all. He will be severely overpowered and accomplish barely anything in future arcs.
>while having an obnoxiously positive attitude about everything
This is the anime being a shitty adaptation. Stop watching it and read the manga instead.
>>
If you're already complaining only three episodes into a series as long as HxH, then you may as well drop it since you evidently don't have the patience to see how things develop.
>>
>>141116768
It's less about him not having patience and more about the 2011 adaptation being much flatter in the depiction of the characters and the events.

In the manga you see Gon going through a considerable range of emotions and expressions in the first chapter alone: fear, happiness, guilt, enthusiasm, curiosity etc. In the anime he's depicted as your run of the mill overexcited yelling main character.
At the end of the day he still goes through the same story arcs and the same events, but in the manga you can gauge his humanity better than in the anime, where it feels like he just hard switches between different mental states. As such it's harder to trust the anime that the plot and characterization will eventually be good.

Gon's voice in the anime annoyed me. I don't know why his tone is so cheery in almost every situation.
>>
>>141117003
Yeah, that's part of what I'm referring to.
