Aeonic said: There's need to be some level of consent from the population, whether that's manufactured or shown in free and fair elections. These are just one of the problems of the series, the execution of the Sybil and contradictions that come out later becoming the biggest. The biggest slap in the face to me was that we're thrown into this established world where sybil has apparently been accepted for quite some time even though the flaws it possesses are both readily obvious and for the most part easily fixable. Simple things like not having to point what looks like a lethal weapon at civilians in order to process their crime coefficient, distinguishing between premeditated criminal behaviour and a victim's adrenalin-fueled mental anguish, not having latent criminals as enforcers, not throwing fresh recruits into missions without training, allowing police to use less lethal options on their guns when they deem necessary. Almost all of those things I just mentioned would be relatively straightforward to implement. Not only that, but implementing almost any of those things would have prevented the near-death of the victim in the first episode from ever happening. And don't tell me that the police in this show have trouble recruiting new members. It's a dystopian future with high levels of automation. Anyone with knowledge of automation knows that employers will never have trouble recruiting enough employees of almost any kind in the future. |

Humlon said: What anime do you consider to be offensive? And don't give me the "nothing offends me" crap. I pick Dragon Ball because of blatant racism (Mr. Popo is probably the most racist cartoon of all time). Really? What the hell? That goes with personality. Plain and simply. Among the stuff I watched in anime, I haven't got to the point of feeling offended yet. Maybe I am more difficult to offend, maybe I just don't overthink stuff or maybe I'm just too naive to imagine an evil intention behind mishandled topics. The closest so far has been Momotaro's divine sea warriors, which like almost any other war propaganda movie is a catalyst for questionable and repulsive morals, and even in that case, I found that stuff more laughable and stupid than actually offensive. There are some instances that got me in live action movies, though. So far, no anime has reached this limit. I can't lie and say that something offends me in anime just to fit your tastes. |

xbobx said: we’re given common archetypes—the tsundere, the cool onee-san, the kuudere—and have the show go out of its way to show that they’re not walking sex fantasies but actual three-dimensional women: human beings capable of living and operating without your penis to validate them. we’re also given the pressures of society that is placed upon people with depression, giving them little sympathy and instead berating them for not sucking it up. read more at http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1353160#xdft3cuj3q1uqim2.99 Err except those character archetypes weren't present in anime at that time or that much acknowledged by the general fanbase ,other studios just copied the hell out of them so its was more of a doubled edged sword in the long run . Also you're giving Anno way to much credit all things considered ,especially how Evangelion was already a manga series written by a different person by the time the anime version even started. |

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. |
