    Hunter X Hunter is yet another great anime from the prolific Yoshihiro Togashi; creator of Yu Yu Hakusho. It exists as a deconstruction of conventional Shonen fantasy and excels far beyond a typical fight manga. One of our favorites, and for good reason, join Mike as he rips into a good one and feeds it back to you piece by piece. Watch Hunter X Hunter. Do it.

      @@nappingkyoshiro3393 The arc after the Greed Island arc is seen by many as not only the best arc in HxH but as one of the best in shounen history. So if you have to choose, definitely go for HxH 2011. Both are great, but HxH 2011 has quite a lot more episodes since it simply adapted much more of the manga. By the way, you're German, right? Because I just so happen to be German, so if thats the case it might be easier for me to tell you how and where to watch it.

    Loving HxH made me appreciate the chapter black arc of YYH

      thats4thebirds most definitely it’s pretty clear togashi wanted to take yu yu into a more analytical and cerebral approach especially with chapter black that why I loved it so much but I can also understand why chapter black might’ve not been so well received especially coming after the dark tournament arc nothing but fighting nonstop and to switch to some more analytical was crazy for a lot of people but I loved and I think it what helps Hunter x Hunter shine so much of it togashi going deeper with it

      I think he’s talking about from a typical moral code, he’s not a good person. It’s true too because the world doesn’t care about intentions nearly as much as actions and Killua’s outlook on life and moral code is not typical of a conventional “good person”.

      @@virginianpeddler8911 ^ This. Pretty sure the poster of the video was talking about how, if Killua were in our world, he would be viewed as a monster. In this world, our judgment of someone doesn't rely on whether they've had a compelling character arc or not - if they're a murderer, they're bad. If they're incredibly strong and know how to use that strength to hurt and kill people, they're terrifying.
      The guy in the vid wasn't saying that Killua _is_ terrifying; he was saying that he _would_ be if we didn't actually see him from the perspective we do in the series, and if he actually existed. There's a general idea that assassins are bad, after all.

      His comment about Tien irked me as well. If one looked into the lore more, Tien is VERY strong and it's known he continually trains no matter what knowing well he will never reach Goku. He and Piccolo are arguably the only two left who actually train behind the scenes.
      The downfall is Toriyama is bad at writing for side characters and has turned most of them into a cheerleading squad for Goku and Vegeta.
      But Tien held his own against 2nd form Cell and could have possibly killed him of he wasn't so drained of his stamina. That's still an admirable feat for a guy who is still human.

AOT uses alot of shock value and the deaths don't mean anything in the long run. Compared to HxH where they mean alot, but don't go over the top like AOT does.

      Reuben Ninan - Ah it’s full steam ahead from now on, as some one who has seen the show multiple times, all I can say is pay attention to everything, there were little details that everyone’s gonna miss the first time around no matter the case.
      I’d recommend rewatching this Arc couple of months after you finish the series.
      Any favourite characters so far?

    • @ReubenNinan
      @ReubenNinan 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @@thewakandankingtchaka5331 yo thanks for the advice, I will try to pay extra attention the next 50 eps!
      For favorite characters:
      Leoreo for sure! I wish he was in the show more often but I truly enjoyed his character and how different he is. At first I thought this guy was a douche but after a few episodes this dick slowly shifts into one of my favorite personas. He seems as if he is the only person in the show that is trying to save people's lives instead of the taking them. I long for Leoreo to be the best combat medic or something like that in future arcs!
      Hisoka is also a really good character imo. I love how he is the "overarching villain" but he really isn't. He, like everyone in the show, has his own motive and his own desires; albeit those motives may be a bit weird and kinky I think overall he's a good character who only adds to the show.
      Regarding newer characters, I also really like Knuckles. He is almost like a future Gon to me. Strong willed, tenacious, a bit dumb, and lastly, kind. I really enjoyed how he is comical but strong and serious when need be. His ability is also really strong but balanced in my eyes. I want to see him fight Cheetu so bad now!
      What about you? Who were/are your favorite characters?
      I also really like this show and the universe so I will most likely read the manga this Christmas break just to get more HxH in my life :)

    I relate to the feelings you voiced towards Hakusho and Hunter: Hakusho is definitely the most important anime to my life and helped shape my youth, but Hunter is definitely...just... MORE. It's better, more depth, feels larger (like you said: a whole universe bigger than our POV characters). Like, I've caught myself imagining my nen type and possible abilities more than I've dreamed of developing my spiritual awareness. It just gives us a more defined rule set to play with. And strangely enough: having the limitations of nen makes it more enjoyable. Almost like having a puzzle and you kinda have to work it out.

    The fact that you could follow anyone in the story and be just as interested as when you were following Gon is what I love most about the show. Unlike what the vast majority of people believe about themselves, one person is NOT the center of all things that matter in the universe. It's what I hate most about shows like Dragonball, nothing important seems to happen unless it happens around Goku or whoever. In HxH though, Gon could be (and in fact, *actually has been*) taken out of the story and yet the plot has moved on without skipping a beat and been just as entertaining.

    • @UnifiedEntity
      @UnifiedEntity 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Dragonball is about Goku. His journey being the best warrior he can be. Its not about some other characters Vendetta or mysteries of the universe that someone is looking for. And even then, some of the conflict that happens in Dragonball is not because of Goku. Excuse him for actually being a protagonist. Guts in Berserk was and is the center piece to the events that led to the state of that franchises world. We want to see HIS journey of Revenge.

    A better example to illustrate your point would've been One Piece.

      Even then, One Piece doesn’t fall in line with that stigmatization 💯%. The Straw Hats separate throughout each arc all the time, and they were quite literally, forcefully separated from one another in order for them all to grow and mature as individuals. Even though they are together for most of the series, the Straw Hats live out their own distinct destinies that just so happen to intertwine them all with each other.

    the thing is (mostly in the chimaera ant arc) there was too much "tell don't show" happening. and though it has an intricate plot and great characters, the storytelling wasn't the best and the audience doesn't get to spend much time with the characters and aside from killua and the ants, the characters don't develop much.
    and then the PACING so much of the cool stuff gets rushed or happens off screen and then you literally get an episode where half of its runtime is two characters nutting because they love the king so much. Too many long drawn out reaction shots, too much exposition and too many talking heads. and then the one time I really want to see two characters talk it out they have a boring one sided fight. Is that just me?
    If you want to talk about subverting shonen tropes, Mob Psycho, One Punch Man, and Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood do it way better, in fewer episodes and don't have pedophile clowns.
