| Hey all, just wanted to start a friendly discussion on your opinions and possible hidden gem manga that could get a anime adaptation that will beat HxH 2011 in terms of story, animation, and power structure. I firmly believe that there wont be any animated shounen series as good as HxH coming out anytime soon, what do you guys think? Oh btw you guys could also list some series that could get a remake like HxH, I personally believe that if One Piece was condensed and produced by a different studio it could stand a chance against HxH in terms of quality. |
| It's hard to top HxH. Story = Arguable.(Hunter don't have a great story imo, the world building however, is amazing) Animation = Yes. (With enough budget, it's not hard to top HxH in term of animation) Power Structure = Hard. (It's really hard to find a more unique, insteresting power than those in HxH imo) While Hunter may very well be one of the most interesting shounen atm, I don't find it to be totally amazing. However, I do agree, that it's hard to imagine one that's better coming out anytime soon. For this. I'm going to vote yes. I still think there's more than enough "hope" for others to beat HxH. |

| The story is lacking and has reused many things from other animes so I think something will with time. |

| Although I agree that FMA is really really good, it is not your standard shounen series as all the chars have different abilities and they dont even explain why they have those abilities whereas in hunter everyone has the same base if you get what I mean. FMA is also very plot and character driven so comparing it to standard shounen like Naruto/Bleach/One Piece is a bit unfair. |

| HxH is just so enjoyable because people die when they're killed, abilities so fucking confusing you don't even bother to complain because you don't even fucking know where to start and bad ass over powered enemies that make you hard every time they blow someones head off. |

nope cause Kurapika is too much of a bamf to let another show do that |

| It'll be really hard. Hunter X Hunter is so underrated. |
| One Piece. Nuff said. |
| Yes, it's called Rurouni Kenshin: Tsuiokuhen. |
 |
| A better shounen anime than the anime that I dropped during its Opening cause I couldnt stand the notion of an 2 feet tall kid jumping around like a rubber ball? Pretty sure it already exists and what comes to mind immediately sould be GTO, cause I prefer my mcs to be taller than 2 feet. Edit: And I guess you cant exactly choose GTO as a shounen so I would definetly go for Claymore then. Best shounen out there. |
HxHJosh said: It'll be really hard. Hunter X Hunter is so underrated. HxH is underrated? Since when? It's under-heard of since Togashi likes to play too much Dragon Quest and neglects on releasing his manga. Well, I guess it could be worse (Berserk). |

| Hunter x Hunter is an anime that runs in 1080p but looks like it was drawn in 1994. Call me a moefag or whatever, but my god is the art in HxH horrible. Its literally so bad I can't watch the show. Also if SnK anime gets a second season it will demolish all other shounen. |

Hisio said: Have you heard of different styles of animation >.> Animation is perfect, its just character designs that you haven't seen before because not the same house produces all the anime... He didn't say anything about the animation. The artstyle is truly just horrible. It should have been updated since this is a reboot, but nope, too much work for that. I like some character designs, but even the fanarts are better then actual thing. |

In terms of comparison, it's barely a toddler compared to HxH and RuroKen (which would be considered adults). And that's without taking the non-battle shonens into consideration. |

Yes because, overpowered 12 years old with one being someone who has no motive, a guy who's searching for an overpowered father while being overpowered who keep's finding the greatest people RANDOMLY in his road that will always let him live, and as he said 'they're sooo gentle!!!' is obviously wayyy better than the survival of humanity against an enemy that they have no chance against even with Eren's 'gift' and the mystery behind finding what created all of this. You could say chimera ant is a similar case. But seems like they're picking the easy way out. I'm not saying I do not enjoy HxH. It is/was one of my favourites until I read all of Shingeki who's btw written by someone who actually tries EVERY month instead of slacking. You'll see the ending of HxH, and then the ending of Shingeki, compare. The emotional moments of course are gonna be stronger on HunterHunter because of the 90 episodes. it should also be mentioned that the strategic ~moments~ on both of them are strong, they know how to handle fights in the most intelligent way possible which always reminds me of my other favourite shounen FMA. |

Shingeki has horrible twists which ruins it. HxH brings in common tropes, but the twists are handled well. Shingeki was great until that one twist which completely ruins the "survival of humanity". |
|
| Although great, I think HxH isn't quite as good as other action anime. I loved some arcs and found others a bit meh, so that's probably why I don't consider it the best battle shounen. If all the episodes were as good as the ones in the Yorknew City arc, then yes,to me it'd be almost impossible for any anime to top it. |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |

Gon is not overpowered, on the contrary he always evolves throughout the anime and this is just awesome, how many times did he lose? a lot. He is all but overpowered. If we want to compare to shingeki with a girl (mikasa) who becomes strong by "killing" someone and achieve physical improvement >.> and a guy who transforms into a titan just like that because they didn't have any other plot to counter the titans. You will be able to compare SnK with HxH when Snk will build its plot around 90 episodes, just sayin :D |

| I-I'm so confused, am I missing something here? I think the animation for HxH is just fine, is it common knowledge now that the art is bad? But yeah. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood just tops HxH in every aspect, but I'm still a huge fan of both. |
 |
| FMA or Jojo's Bizarre Adventure may be able to do it. But yeah, Hunter X Hunter is easily one of the best. |

Flume said: I-I'm so confused, am I missing something here? I think the animation for HxH is just fine, is it common knowledge now that the art is bad? The art in the original was horrible and the manga may just as well be called Doodles and Scribbles by Togashi. The 2011 one is fine though, I don't see much wrong with the art, except for when Hisoka goes into pedo mode. |
|
| If Hoshi no Samidare get an anime adaptation, I guess it could be up there with the likes of HxH and FMA. Also if One Piece gets a reboot, it could be a serious contender. And I do hope that some other great shonen will be released in the future. |

If its already at this level in the first season then HxH has no chance against it. |

Shingeki has horrible twists which ruins it. HxH brings in common tropes, but the twists are handled well. Shingeki was great until that one twist which completely ruins the "survival of humanity". The first twist of shingeki which was definitely a drawback for me did kind of bring me back from the show I'm not gonna lie, but it was definitely a way to reveal a bit of the mystery. I know it kind of did what you said, but at the same time people STILL die, characters that you might like throughout the run still get cold deaths. From then on all the twists are handled VERY well, to the point of I went HOLY shit on everything that was happening one thing after another, they used the environment, which is really a plus, since it gives you an idea of where exactly the scene is placed as well as making the action scene 10 times better. Plus the mystery drives you along the story since the fact that the titans are so overpowered and humanity stands no chance against them and will still be getting killed for years if they're not absolutely exterminated makes you want to learn more and more about them. Whereas in HunterHunter its almost obvious that even if Gon and Killua lose, they'll never be killed, because by some luck, the people they're gonna fight are gonna go lightheart mode and give them time to train. |
