To me, Hunter x Hunter seems to be strongly about the psychology of the characters. I'd say there's more of that than action.

Would you agree? Would you pin the tag on Hunter x Hunter?

I would bring up examples but the most recent episodes could stand perfectly as examples.

Refrain from posting Manga spoilers, please. I won't be adding a poll because I feel there's more to this than just a yes or no answer.

It should have a inner monologue tag as well. But seriously, Yea I guess it does have some Psychological stuff in it. But it's not a big deal to be honest.

When exactly someone puts a psychological tag to an anime? What are the criteria for that?

Nothing, you can tag whatever.

But yes I strongly agree.

I don't think there is enough psychological elements to warrant a tag genre. It's a sub genre at best, and it's certainly not more than the action, unless you have a very loose and broad definition of what constitutes and falls under the word ''psychological''.

There are a lot of psychological components in the hxh, but I wouldn't tag it as psychological... Since battles can still be won by brute force or surprise attacks, and our main character (Gon) often acts in a rash, unpredictable manner without really thinking things through.

Problem is that it can be quite subtle for some, so psychological might refer to anime blatantly screaming im psychological.

I think the Chimera Ant arc incorporates a lot of psychological elements, I think that's a large part of why I like the arc. But, the show as a whole? I'm not really sure. I wouldn't really argue if the tag was added really.

Personally, I wouldn't really mind adding psychological in the tag as Togashi most of time incorporates psychological elements in almost every arc. But this element is extremely prominent in the Chimera ants where we can see characters fight with their inner selves and have psychological battles as well. =)

Reading the comments of people, the psychological aspect of this anime is a huge reason as to why they're loving the show. It should be added!
