I just finished HxH, and wow, I was completely blown away. It blew every other anime I've ever watched out of the water in terms of storytelling, characters and themes. When are they going to continue it?

Welcome to the family hunterchad and just read the manga if u want to know what happens after.

I would call HxH's storytelling, particularly in CA, a pretty unique approach that I really enjoyed, but not something I'd want to see emulated by others. It deliberately challenged storytelling convention and was mostly successful in doing so, but it needs something else to stand in contrast with in order for its value to be fully appreciated.

Time to watch your second anime now.
Lincoln Ward
This was actually my 25th anime, and I've watched all the best.
Isaac Johnson
bad move kid, let's go boys

Hoped you learned a lot and caught the references to famous works of art/literature. Its sad that most people turn their brain off while reading/watching hxh.
Christian Stewart
nanika a shit
also read the manga
the chapters that take place immediately after the last episode are fucking amazing
Christopher Campbell
I slogged through Yorknew and then I couldn't continue. There are so many subplots that never go anywhere, and the series seems to have no direction or goal.
I did go to the Ant arc and watch all the scenes with Komugi so I could experience the kino without the shitty other 95% of the plot

Hopefully never, why would they want to continue the dullest manga franchise in the history of manga franchises? Seriously each episode following the boy hunter and his boyfriend Killua as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the not so subtle allegories to the real world, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and over-use of exposition, all to make power systems uninteresting, to make action seem inert.
Perhaps the die was cast when Togashi rushed to finish Yu Yu Hakusho with the atrocity that was the Three Kings Arc and the latter half of Chapter Black; he made sure whatever he made from then on would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody. Just ridiculously profitable crap to shit out for whenever he needs a quick paycheck. The Hunter x Hunter series might be anti-humanist (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-Dragon Quest series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.
>a-at least the fights were good though
"No!" The fights were dreadful; the paneling was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time characters were about to fight, Togashi wrote instead that the character explained how their ability works for several pages straight.
I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that happened. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Togashi's mind is so governed by cliches and unneeded exposition that he has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Hunter x Hunter by Kōhei Horikoshi. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Hunter x Hunter at 15 or 16, then when they get older they will go on to read My Hero Academia." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Hunter x Hunter" you are, in fact, trained to read My Hero Academia.

Truly the pinnacle of art.

woah sasuga, how deconstructive

I don't know if I should respond at all but I don't think you understand what I mean by storytelling convention. I literally mean how stories are told, retard, not what the contents of the stories might be.
Brody Smith
I'm curious, I watched this show like 4 years ago, and it was okay. I don't remember the storytelling being that good; could you remind me of the highlights?
Christopher Thompson
I still can't believe all the hunterchad shitposting came from that one granny post. Imagine btfo someone so hard that it ripples out and lobatamizes the entire fandom
Josiah Diaz
Well, see the Chimera Ant arc for example. To say that it gets everything right would be a huge understatement. What this masterpiece about human history and the ways that people create their own destiny and mistakes makes for some truly compelling storytelling. Working in so many ways, as an allegorical story, as a monster story, as an epic, as a character study especially, and as a war drama, this Arc was near constantly engaging and thought provoking in so many ways. You could spend hours dissecting things like how it draws on real life parallels, most notably with the use of this universe's equivalent of North Korea to illustrate its point about humanity, the series' heavy use of symbolism with the parallels between characters, the minor tragedies characters each face inn what they don't achieve, the incredibly grey morality of the compelling antagonists which most impressively starts them off as extremely intimidating monsters to be stopped only to then bring us into their perspective and impossibly manage to make the audience feel sympathetic for them.

Is this bait

I really liked the huge clash that only lasted few seconds, reminded me of Fukumoto.
It's a pasta.
Gavin Edwards
If you see any of these essay-type posts, they're always copypastas that these retards like to repost over and over again.
Jason Sullivan
I can guarantee that these posts are made by same person.

I dropped it at the start of Yorknew after fighting through that awful video game battle coliseum they went to where they fought spinning top guy. There is not a single glimmer of anything interesting up to whatever volume that is and then calling it "Yorknew" plus setting up some retarded plot with a super secret video game was too much worldbuilding for 10 year olds and I had to eject
Jeremiah Murphy
I'm at about episode 30? Does it get better? It's a solid show, but not this holy grail I've heard everyone make it out to be.
Andrew Hall
Nathan Adams
the people saying it's the holy grail watched past the first few arcs.
the first few arcs are all pretty good as is though.

Neck yourself underage shitstain
Parker Baker
The fanbase has been without content for years so they spent their time shitposting bait posts and threads in an attempt to get people to talk to them about their favorite gateway anime shonen

Hello falseflagger-kun, you forgot your Hisoka avatar.
