| Yes! I'm so happy to see HxH there. I'm so glad that such a masterpiece isn't overlooked by the community (^^) Ping Pong should be higher though. If only people gave it a chance. |

mayukachan said: @peeyaj: I'm not reading the manga. I heard it updates slowly ;A; And I actually felt more emotional over HxH overall, compared to SSY which had barely any characters that I could that I "loved". So yeah, that's a big point against SSY. Namikawa Daisuke is fantastic. Such a good seiyuu! y123y said: episode 8 LOL do you ever get old of this joke? Please just watch the show instead of making fun of how "gay" it is. I have seen the anime. Its a great anime. FINE ANIME!!! AND I NEVER SAID THAT ABOUT THE ANIME!!!! |

mayukachan said: y123y said: I have seen the anime. Its a great anime. FINE ANIME!!! Fine 6/10 Or Fine 10/10? Pick the right choice ;) Its an 8/10. I have never been a big fan of timeskip in anime. I can only handle one in anime. But it is a fine anime. Highly entertaining. |
| HxH,NGNL and Kill la Kill. Nice. HxH is my second favorite battle shounen after One Piece. Unfortunately, HxH author will die before the manga finish. Togashi is already 48 year old and with the manga show no sign of coming close to conclusion and still in hiatus,I'm afraid HxH(together with Berserk) will be the next Kaze no Stigma. |

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |

HxH is very good but it managed to frustrate me enough during the CA arc that I've put it on hold for nearly 2 months. Cry somewhere else. Oh and for the CA arc, "you just don't get it". mayukachan said: I don't think HxH is great at world building. In fact, that's one of the weak spots. Uhh... yeah... this conversation is only for people who get it. Don't be a fanboy. HxH worldbuilding is far better than SSY or any anime for that matter. GI alone saw to that. peeyaj said: mayukachan said: Everything is personal preference :> But yeah, let's just agree to disagree. I think HxH has depth as well, but not SSY's level. That's all. It has a fair share of problems, which is why it's not absolutely perfect in my eyes. And no, I don't think HxH is great at world building. In fact, that's one of the weak spots. I agree, let's agree to disagree. One of the strengths of SSY is that I really believe that the world it presented could happen in the future. That's why I love it. It's quite different in HxH, in which the world is like us, but more adventure-y and shounen-y. If you happen to read the manga, the DC Arc is poised to create the most WTF worldbuilding I ever read. Interestingly, I can't sing any more praises on Daiskuke Namikawa's performance as Squealer in SSY and Hisoka in HxH. Both are the opposite in the end of spectrum in terms of villainy, but the performance is phenomenal. I never connected the voices between the two! This is just to show that Namikawa-san is a great seiyuu with an awesome range. That's because Daisuke doesn't fit hisoka. Watch 1999 HxH and hear the real Hisoka voice. |

| This is the last time HxH will be in any "Best anime of 20XY" poll for a long time. :( |
| Lol at Tokyo Ghoul even making the list. Didn't that anime only have one purpose, to promote the manga? |
| Just remove aldnoahzero and everything's fine |

The pacing just got excruciatingly slow at one point that I found it extremely hard to watch. The problem is your misguided understanding of pacing, as it was with "show don't tell". Not having action for you and focusing on layering out isn't really slow pacing. Kreion said: What's with all the SSY love here - I don't get it. The series was good, interesting and had lovely animation...but the characters were very dull and the plot was pretty meh especially the ending. I would rate the series higher if the last 5 minuites made more sense within the context of the series itself but there's so much information which we aren't told that it falls flat for me. Again I think it was good...but that it mainly managed to create a world and do little of interest within that world. Most of the interesting characters were killed off and the 'twists' especially the big one felt like they made the series worse, rather than better, with how generic they were. I can't speak for HxH because I honestly just don't like the art style, so I won't watch it. By all accounts it does a better job at making interesting characters though which I would say is the main thing which I watch anime for at this point (If I expect it to be good). So good on it I guess... Characters were great. Squealer is one of the best villains in anime period. On par with Meruem. What's wrong with HxH's artstyle? |

The pacing just got excruciatingly slow at one point that I found it extremely hard to watch. There was no pacing problem, every episode was filled with tons of information, themes and on the occasion, fights. The episodes never stopped to talk about fluff, it was all directly relating the the main story and was necessary. It's hard, very hard, to write a show that's fast paced that fleshes out characters as well as HxH. Mod Edit: Removed quote of deleted post. |

What's wrong with HxH's artstyle? mikasa if ALL they have to criticise is art-style and pacing then they don't really have much to argue about. art-style is subjective and pacing seamed slow because of the build-up, if they didn't take the time to develop the characters correctly the arc wouldn't have been that enjoyable. |

Characters were great. Squealer is one of the best villains in anime period. On par with Meruem. What's wrong with HxH's artstyle? Squealer was okay, more interesting than any of the main cast who were simply uninteresting. I never cared if one of them would die except for the obvious character...they just fell flat. The problem with him was that it was always so obvious that he was treacherous that I never found him that interesting - he was just a bad character who had his reasoning, but at the end of the day I don't think I was every thrilled or put on edge by him. He served his purpose well, but I can't say he rose beyond that for me...each to their own. Nothing - I'm saying it's an entirely subjective thing. In this case it's the massive hair and large round eyes on every character that make me dislike it. Plus I don't like the main character design or the general style of the art/clothes which are used... Technically the anime looks impressive, but that's not everything after all. him being treacherous was never meant to be subtle, it was supposed to show how he always weaseled his way out of it despite suspicion. The character designs you describe only apply to Gon Killua and Zushi, think of HxH as Kingdom Heats, it's a mix of many species of artstyle, (like FF and Disney characters) together in one anime. You might hate these styles but the rest will definitely surprise you. Chrollo for example,  Also, the main character isn't always the main character. He'll mostly be on the sidelines (or even absent completely) in the large scale arcs. |

Huh, apart from the fact I also dislike Kingdom hearts that does sound interesting. I will have to give it a go since I've heard so many good things and you've told me that it has other art styles being used. No reason not to! |
