This show is so fucking boring. The writing is stale and feels so uninspired, the characters are bland and have zero personality or charisma, Gon himself is such a boring character, no matter what he does, he just comes off as....boring. The relationship between him and Killua is so lackluster compared to Urameshi and Kuwabara where it would actually be entertaining because both those characters have actual personalities and charisma, what do Killua and Gon have? Nothing, they're bland, boring, forgettable characters. Kurapika just feels like a watered down Kurama because that's exactly what he is, just like how Killua is just a watered down Heiei. I will at least say that some characters can look cool, like Chrollo and Hisoka, but apart from that, it's shit.
Hunter X Hunter
You didn't really say anything substantive here, you just spent a paragraph calling everything and everyone boring over and over
It's probably a copypasta anyways
It doesn't get good until episode 39
2011 version starts to get really good at episode 32
shonen slop is...le shonen slop
shocking
words words words
That's an accurate description of Hunter x Hunter.
I thought Greed Island was good but Chimera Ant doesn't even feel like it's supposed to be in the same manga.
Togashi should've just done a Jojo and had every arc be a self-contained story in the same universe.
Maty chapter when?
Togashi should have just been an insecure writer who hand waives inconsistency if he can even bother to remember in the first place. Araki wishes he could have 1% of the foresight Togashi has.
Jotaro doesn't use time stop for 10 years despite searching for the arrow and stand users being drawn to stand users because..... he just doesn't okay?!
Is the manga ever coming back? What was the point in th card game if it it's just going on hiatus again?
glad i'm not the only one who noticed how gen alphamutts are so insecure about liking anime they try to erase any mention of anime. See also "the writers" instead of naming the fucking nigger.
reading niggastream translation
but i don't know all the writers
What if there's a lot of them
For me it's the opposite, Greed Island arc drags like a motherfucker and you can't take the villain seriously with how retarded he looks.
I gave it a shot but gave up after the walk down a hall way arc. But my mom said it was really good so I gave it another shot I made it to the storage wars arc and gave up again.
I don't like this new hunter x hunter schizo
hxh deserves it to be fair
razor was the real fight. genthru and his goons are pretty much just there to establish gon and killua as capable combatants before the chimera arc.
Nta but maybe it would have worked better if they weren't immediately curbstomped by Knuckles and Shoot, it's ridiculous and extremely dumb how they have to be reduced every arc to being worthless newbies full of talent, after every arc they were portrayed as serious buiseness.
Antagonist =/= villain.
they had to be curbstomped to show the difference between experienced pro hunters and two kids with talent. also gon came pretty close to winning, killua was held back because of illumi's needle.
knuckle has one of the most busted abilities in the series.
Can I have your mom's number
I just read the succession war. There’s so much discussion and theorycrafting to be had here, yet I can’t find any discussion about this series outside of that one shitty website, and the discussion there is godawful.
What gives?
they had to be curbstomped to show the difference between experienced pro hunters and two kids with talent
That's the problem, it happens every single time, it happened after they became hunters, same time Gon broke Illumi's arm or forced Netero to use both arms, it happened when they have to enter Greed island, where only elite hunters are admitted, and within Greed Island, where random monsters dab on them and freaking Binolt is magnitudes stronger, at the end of that they are far stronger than everyone else there bar Genthru and they still are resetted to useless newbies when they have to fight Knuckle and Shoot.
knuckle has one of the most busted abilities in the series.
It might be relevant if he used it, he stomped Gon effortlessly without using it.
I it weird I sometimes put HxH outro 2 on loop for hours? Why does it hit so good when there is 20 seconds left in the episode and you hear this music starting?
Is there a series that doesn’t get shit talked or hated on here? Not that I think Hunter is perfect but let this site guide you, you’d think every single manga is shit and overrated. Makes discussions pretty boring desu.
Those so small that they didn't attract attention, and dragonball simply because no one really talks about dragon ball there.
Unhappy people are more vocal than happy people
I have until July until I assume Togashi won’t be back this year. He already did most of the work for the next 10 chapters, shouldn’t take him more than 6 months to be back unless he stopped working.
it would arguably feel more contrived if two kids with little experience in using nen, completely surpassed experienced users without showing any sort of struggle.
i wouldn't necessarily say that they were "far stronger" than anyone by the end of the greed island arc, they would have struggled with a lot of guys without an elaborate plan that utilizes greed island abilities.
knuckle himself was seen as a hunter with very high potential and was a veteran of over 5000 battles.
yeah people talk about it like it's this epic elevated shounen but if anything that just goes to show how shit shounen is rather than how good hxh is, i felt like i was watching a show for babies
You're the one shitting your pants over a television program being described as a show. Sad

The problem is that they surpass experienced nen users with very little struggle, it's just that's forgotten next arc. Greed Island was considered as a place with the elite and Tzeguerra an expert and powerful veteran, but the fight with Razor showed them as far more powerful than him.

Again the fight with Razor portrayed them as far above him, and while Genthru was even stronger than them Genthru was considered an unbeatable monster, to the point even after antagonizing the entire playerbase fighting him head-on by all of them was still considered impossible.
knuckle himself was seen as a hunter with very high potential and was a veteran of over 5000 battles.
Honestly unless he counted also sparring with Morel and Shoot it seems impossible he participated in that many fights with nen, he's not that old.
Again at the end of every arc they're portrayed as really powerful and at the start of every arc they're newbies, I'm not complaining they're not OP, I'm complaining their OPness is swept under the rug the repeat the same beats. HxH generally has pretty bad scalings, with Kurapika's nonsensical growth or the numbers in Chrollo's fight with Hisoka.
give it a year
i can't recall genthru being regarded as an unbeatable monster, he was just more combat-oriented than a lot of the people on greed island. tsezguerra could have beaten him, but he was extremely cautious. bomber didn't really want to fight him either.
the stakes in the series get higher and the people they encounter are stronger, that's why it feels like they're weak at the beginning of the arc. the power difference between a knuckle and the average retarded hunter on greed island is enormous. netero wouldn't have brought in any of those guys to face the chimera threat.
but the fight with Razor showed them as far more powerful than him
Did we watch the same anime? Razor held himself pretty nicely 1v3 and they had Hisoka. Also Killua obliterated his hands just trying to give Gon a better aim.
I love how the tranny mods for some reason has these OP shitposters back
I'm of the impression Genthru was regarded as pretty much invincible, again everyone on greed island hates him but no one tries to overwhelm him and defeat him, and Genthru clearly had no problem in fighting him, considering the entire sequence during wich he hunts them down and they have to try and escape.

We clearly have different impressions on the quality of the writing and scaling because of this, creating every time an arbitrary tier of people unfathomably stronger than the previous one while invalidating all the hype they generated on them to me is a particularly bad case of it.
I was saying they were far stronger than Tzeguerra, not Razor, Razor was decisevely stronger than them.
well, i just felt like the author does a decent job portraying which guys are really strong, for example phantom troupe or hisoka or illumi who remain strong from beginning to end, and which guys are just mid (tzesguerra, the geeks in heaven's arena, even genthru). at no point did i feel like tzesguerra or genthru could stand up to someone like hisoka in a fight.
they were at the appropriate level for someone like gon to beat, provided he had the right strategy. i guess i didn't really pay attention that these were supposed to be hunter elites, i always figured they were just mid-level trash mobs for the most part.
I agree on it being evident that those aren't at the level of troupe or Hisoka, but again, after they already meet the troupe and even if they were outmatched they managed to outplay them, with surprise attack hurt a low level one and defeated at arm wrestling Shizuku who used the wrong hand, and after that trained to pass Tzeguerra's test and participate in greed island, they are completely and utterly outmatched by freaking BINOLT. Those characters should be complete shitters but they still have to spend TWO ENTIRE TRAINING ARCS to be something more than complete shitters on greed island. Same when just after having passed the hunter exam (and already broke an arm of Illumi, even if it was still clear he was still stronger) they have to spend a training arc to get stronger than a complete rando that works for the Zoldyck, not even one of the expert butlers but the guy that clean up the rest of their dog. Generally the more I think about it the more I realize how much I dislike the Zoldyck arcs.
None of this is hard to understand. Killua and Gon are very talented in aura amount and speed of elating. Aura amount heavily favored basic things like base attack and defense.
That is good and all, but only gets you so far without battle experience, nen abilities, etc. Genthru is adept in that. His ability was perfect for greed island because he was an inconspicuous terrorist with a bombing ability, not because he’s some ultra high tier combatant. Tsuzegera is an experienced hunter, but that doesn’t mean he has better aura output than Gon and Killua, which mattered a lot to the dodgeball battle. I don’t even think we learned his nen ability, which could maybe make him completely outpace Gon and Killua.
Also, there’s no Nen “always on” thing going on. Illumi and oakunods both got hurt because they weren’t protecting themselves with Nen, Illumi because he’s an autist (or Togashi hadn’t thought of Nen yet) Pakunoda because of getting surprise attacked.
Binolt had more battle experience, and he QUICKLY got outpaced by Gon and Killua. You’re acting like he shifted on them the tenure time. The whole point about Binolt is that his experience waned enough to keep up with talent and hardwork.
Not to mention, Gon and Killua only learned the nen basics through greed island, of course they were still shitters for most of the story. They just were talented shitters and that showed in their aura amount and nen abilities.
It’s a very natural progression, I genuinely don’t see what’s so hard to understand.
