You need to be careful not to go overboard with your desire to not look racist. You sounded extremely racist there. Extremely? Did you misread me as saying 'niggers are rapists'? That would be pretty racist, wouldn't it? That's not what I said though. Don't you want to leave room for genuinely racist things in your spectrum of racism? Extremely. Hahahaha! |

Chelizzle said: Higashi_no_Kaze said: As for me personally probably Shigatsu wa Kimi Uso since it advocates abusing traumatized people with psychological issues and makes it seem like that actually helps them solely based on the fact that it's a cute girl doing the abuse. I was mildly offended that someone with no clue about psychological problems and their consequences or treatment gets probs for 'handling the topic well' in this cringe-fest of a show. This I also felt a bit offended by HxH during the CA arc.The narrator explained everything as if the normal hxh watcher is an idiot... QFT, Jesus Christ I'm glad I'm not the only one that felt this way. I tried to argue that a while back in the HxH forums on this site and people lambasted me over it. Apparently HxH was written by God and is by definition exempt of criticism. Definitely agree that Togashi overused narration heavily in that arc. It got ridiculous during the post-palace infiltration phase of the arc. One of the many reasons I preferred York New over Chimera Ant. |

The alternative is usually that the characters themselves spell out all that information in awkward ways during their battles so I'd take the HxH approach over that any day of the week. It was refreshing and allowed the characters to shut up and focus on their actions. |

| How does one get offended by narration that is giving him/her the situation at hand with a clear and concise information? There was a lot of different things happening in the arc, from different nen techniques, to human being survival rate in certain situations, to the political climate of the Republic of East Gorteau and Chimera Ants themselves. Give me this "overuses narration" than when people have to go online to understand what happened in the episode. Everyone who watched the arc more or less got 100% of what happened in the arc to a tee. |

I felt like Togashi lost confidence in his ability to convey what was going on in a fight through his art work. So he felt like narrating the entire thing step by step was a good idea. In my opinion, it wasn't. It was unnecessary for many of the fights and needlessly slowed pacing. I agree there are a few battles that required it, like when he had to explain Knuckle's ability. I understood exactly what was going on when I read it in the manga, and saw it in the anime. I didn't need a play-by-play. I think that is a point worthy of criticism. |

The narrator added tension and suspense to the scene he was in, using him was a good move. At least thats how it was 4 me and other fans. to each his own.... |

No it was unnecessary to you, not to the general audience at hand. The reason why so many people loved HunterxHunter is because they could follow the story with ease and not have be lost half the time. The criticism is needless at best. Togashi wasn't even responsible for the narration for the episodes, only the story and rights for the studio to adapt the anime. |

But if u look closely 2 each scene, you will realize that the narrator was not stating obvious facts like a machine, he was truly narrating it in a way to add suspense, listen closely 2 "the way" he describes the scene .... in summation : The narration here WAS NOT a tool to JUST SIMPLY describe the current scene, the narration itself was A GOAL. In fact he gets extra credit from me 4 BAD ASS SCRIPTING !!! Scripting is NOT easy, seriously, i have seen some conversations and narrations in anime that made NO freaking sense whatsoever. But that is just my opinion. |

Togashi wasn't even responsible for the narration for the episodes, only the story and rights for the studio to adapt the anime. I'm not actually talking specifically about the anime by the way. I was referring more to the manga. When I was reading the Chimera Ant arc I saw a dip in quality in terms of art work and then the huge hiatus he took right after the climax. I actually like Hunter x Hunter, the series, I just think the Chimera Ant arc isn't anywhere near as good as it's praised to be. It's got it's high points like the flat out amazing character development of Meruem. Easily one of the greatest achievements in character growth in a manga. It's also got a lot of issues with it's pacing. Yes, that's my opinion. The point I was trying to make with the narration is that it was overused in that arc specifically. He didn't use it as much in the previous arcs. |

| Your favorite anime triggered me. |
| It's natural for a person to deny he's a failure as a human being. That's why he searches for somebody who is more miserable than himself. That's why so much animosity exists on the internet. Those who aren't able to find a more miserable person, turn to the internet and call other people losers, even though they've never met. Just to make themselves feel superior. isn't that pathetic? There's a sense of security that comes from speaking badly of someone else. But that isn't true salvation. — Tatsuhiro Satou YandereTheEmo said: The only thing more pathetic than quoting someone you know nothing about, is quoting yourself. |

| I liked the use of Narration in Hunter X Hunter especially in scenes that had to do with Meruem. OT: AKG offended me by treating a serious issue like revolution as a joke. I mean, between the awkward transitions between slapstick comedy to serious moments to the episodic deaths which rapidly became a weekly gag, you ask yourself why they took such a potentially complex theme in the first place. What was the message? It really is a good example of why the term "edgy" now has a negative connotation. Well, I guess it's more like it fustrated me rather than offended. +1 To the anime with Jesus in it. Any anime involving blasphemy offends me even without watching it. +1 Terra Formars (kinda?) |

| I don't think Welcome to the NHK advocates a specific treatment for the issue it deals with. |
| Diabolik Lovers - it's basically just a torture rape fantasy for masochistic girls. Which there's nothing wrong with. However, the MC clearly indicates that she wants no part of it throughout the series yet simultaneously forwards her development with Stockholm Syndrome. It's constantly a back and forth of "They're treating me bad, I hate this" to "I want to help them somehow" with 0 transition or plausibility other than the fact that Pancake-bitchu-submissive-beta-bitchu-chan has lost every ounce of sanity as a result of her mistreatment. |

I am curious why you rated Welcome to the N.H.K. a 9 if don't mind me asking. Because it establishes just how fucked up Misaki is as well and that her motives are far from benevolent, she just wants to feel good about herself and this also leads to a lot of conflict in the show. And whatever she does also doesn't always have the desired positive effect. In Shigatsu the egotism that motivates the cute girl was played down to the point where they made the guy look like the bad guy for having a trauma and not getting over it instantly when a cute girl tells him to do so. In NHK nobody really got over anything, it was depressing on purpose and not unintentionally. Also the comedy was a lot better and I enjoyed the side characters etc... I might be mixing up things from the manga and anime for NHK since I more recently read the manga, but I'm still pretty sure it's very different and more critical/less preachy than Shigatsu. Still, I'd probably give it 8/10 nowadays instead of 9/10 if I rewatched it, I saw it fairly early in my anime career. Shigatsu was a 3-4 when I dropped it though. |
