Anime heads explain to me why Hunter X Hunter is good? (Spoilers for those who haven't finished)

[The Lonious Monk]

But thats exactly what he did. Mereum and 2 of the other guards were poisoned to death. A poison that came out of nowhere by the way.

Funny how Gon wasn't on Pitou level either and yet...nevermind.

I honestly don't think you're paying close enough attention. They basically used that world's version of a nuke on Mereum. The "poison" he died from was radiation exposure, and his other two guards weren't poisoned originally. They got the poison when they bonded with the king to keep him alive.

And Gon wasn't on Pitou's level, that's why he had to overload his power to beat Pitou and that had very grave repurcussions for him. And before you act like that was an ass pull, they already explained in the story how it was possible for characters to exceed their power as long as there is a comparable cost paid which there was.

No. My statement is that fighting Mereum wasn't their objective and so I conceded that point. That doesn't absolved any of the other 5 gotdamn characters from not defeating anyone despite all this delicate planning.

Again, nobody beat anybody because the good guys weren't strong enough to do that. Their whole plan was to get Mereum alone so Netero could fight him 1on1 and use the bomb. They accomplished that. You're basically faulting the story because it didn't bullshit the heroes into victories that the story already told you they couldn't achieve.

You not saying anything I don't already know. My criticism is that its poor writing and led to an unsatisfying ending. All the poetry of finding humanity didn't escape me. I just don't see why I should care.

Mereum being humbled intellectually, yada yada yada...my point is I don't care. Furthermore they gave me no reason to care.

We already got that finding humanity angle from Colt anyway. He cared for his mother so much he became a traitor to his people. Did we need the rest of them to conveniently find their humanity?

Did we really need all the "i have memories from when i was human..." melodrama? "

As far as the plan goes it was shit from the jump. For starters you don't even have the strongest hunters involved. You have a team of misfits and cowards.

But lets look at the plan.

Say all things go as planned. You separate the guards so they can't work together and Netero gets his solo scrap to use the bomb to kill the King.

Now how do you go about killing Youpi, Pouf and Pitou? All of whom are stronger than everyone else. You think they will just evaporate because the King died? Is there another bomb in someone else's asshole?

Its really convenient that the poisoning effected them too right?

Letting villains slip away peacefully into death, hugged up with his boo is not what I'm into... at all. That shit dumb to me. If that arc wasn't 30 or some thing eps it might not have aggravated me so much but fuck that shit.

If you don't like the show, that's fine, like someone said it's not for everyone. But niggas really need to stop saying that everything they don't like is bad writing. Just because a story doesn't interest you doesn't mean it's bad. Your comments suggest you were looking for the standard Shonen "all problems are solved with a fight" method of storytelling. That's fine. I like Shonen too, but it makes no sense to call HxH poorly written because it's not that kinda story.

Nah man I hate that Shonen 'the hero always defeats the strongest villain' shit. Fair enough if the hero was always strong enough to do it but these manga writers love makin' the hero mad weaker than the villain. Naruto is bad for this shit but I think One Piece is worse.

From Crocodile onward, there's no way Luffy shudda been able to take any of the niggas he fought.

Spoiler

Croc was a Warlord who the Admirals were weary or and he was a Logia AND he fought Doflamingo and Mihawk durin' the War without dyin' or serious injury smh they forced that shit. Enel cudda stabbed Luffy at any time. Maybe Lucci v Luffy was cool (top 3 fight in Shonen anime) but still after you learn about Haki and that it doesn't make sense that the Government's top spies couldn't even take some rookies.

That Doflamingo beef was set up perfectly for Luffy and Law to take him out together but NOOOOOOOO had to be Luffy someone not gettin' his limbs chopped off the whole fight. Doffy cudda done that shit he pulled on Sanji straight away. And don't get me started on Gear 4th smh nigga can fly? come on Jack

I don't even dislike the show. I dislike that the lack of resolution in these conflicts. I dislike having a ton of investment in tertiary characters that don't really add anything.

As a complete show it wasn't even terrible (especially considering its an ongoing I cut it some slack in some depts).

Its simply nonsensical to say its not about fighting when Killua and Gon spent so much time training throughout Heavens Arena, and Greed Island. It makes no sense when you see how extensive and detailed the fighting system is. It just makes no sense...

My biggest gripe is I was far more invested in Kurapika's story than anyone else's and dude disappeared after the Phantom Troupe arc.

The shit with Mereum fucks with me because that was the arc I most looked forward to because of how much I heard about it. I didn't invest all that time in a damn love story.

I feel like there is a lot of subliminal messages in anime. Those concepts can also be seen in certain lifestyles. I was just wondering what someone would make of Merry's eyes in this anime?

Heres my thoughts on hunter : its not for everyone, especially if you expect it to be a fighting anime, cuz thats not what it is at all

Yea the show has some fights in it but ultimately its an anime that strives to not follow all the rules of typical animes

Look at mureum and the chimera ants, that arc literally showes the rise and fall of a whole species and mureum started off a mindless monster but dies with being full of compassion and humanity

Then you got gon who seems like kid goku at first but by the end of the arc is more of a monstrous being than any of the ants

The show is in my opinion the goat but i can see why its not for everyone

All these paragraphs over a manga that builds hype and dusappoints? Lol. For me personally it's not about it being a fighting anime. It's about building up the anticipation for a battle and dropping the ball. All that shit is filler no different than DBZ, except DBZ delivers with the main event. Furthet more all these characters are fighters so it's the writers fault if people expect more fighting.

If you dont like it then cool you dont like it but just because something didn't happen the way you expected doesn't make it wack

In captain America civil war throughout the movie they where hyping it up that (spoilers i guess if you haven't seen it) there were 5 more winter soldiers that were even stronger and that fight was going to be dire

But when they get therr zemo already killed them in their sleep

It def doesnt go the way they were anticipating but that in my opinion doesnt make it filler or wack. But everyone is entitled to their own views

 

[Dupac]

can't believe i missed this thread,

hunter x hunter was great.......

i mean i don't want to insult your anime experience, but anime are notorious for not wrapping up story lines, but imo this show was clearly setting up major plot points that will go on in further issues.....

i know for a fact the manga goes much further with more interactions....but over all, i really loved this shot....one of the better ones i've watched in recent years...

 

[zzombie]

hunter x hunter fucking sucks watch world trigger instead.

People feel different ways about the fight.

The art in his recent chapters is good, when he is serious, and has assistants, it's among the best in SJ.
