boredxxx said: Qans said: Yeah if you've gotten to episode 102 and still don't like the anime it's definitely not for you. And about you liking Killua more than the main character, I think everyone pretty much feels that way. Gon is kind of annoying and irrelevant most of the story except for what happens to him near the end of the anime which i won't spoil I didnt say i didnt like it. I'm just currently bored at this bard of the chimera ant arc. You're at the point where it actually starts getting good. |

boredxxx said: Yes so ill clear everything up. His oak is cool but hes kind of an odd duck. Hes evil and then hes helping them and it really confuses the way im meant to feel about him. I did enjoy previous arcs (mostly killuas fights) like the heavens arena or whatever was enjoyable but so far chimera arc has kinda been lame for me. I thought kite was gonna be all badass and then he dies and i feel the main char is just not strong enough. I thought it's pretty clear right now as to why Hisoka spared or even helped the MCs. Well, I guess it's as simple as he WANTS to fight them(Gon,Killua) in their full potential. He's even willing to help them reach that. He also spared Kastro for that same reason. So it's all about fighting/killing a strong opponent for his own reasons. If you're a weakling without potential, you'll be killed just like that. That's why I think his actions justified his personality. And yes, he's always been odd. (Still like him though.) About Gon. Of course, he'd be weak compared to those veterans. I mean, he's only 12(13) years old without so much experience in battle for pete's sake lol. He has the potential and based on that word he still needs to develop so imo, that's understandable. CA arc is a bit more controversial than what I've expected. It divided its viewers and it's interesting. I think it added spice to discussion threads. |

| @boredxxx hxh isn't as exciting as most battle shounen, except the yorknew city arc. If you say the chimera ant arc is boring some people will use the generic excuse that it's either too deep for you, or it's just not for you, oh and also " hxh is not all about action! it doesn't follow the cliche formula like other battle shounen!" News flash, not because a series is different than the rest, doesn't make it automatically better than all shounen anime that use clcihe in them. No hxh fan can talk down at me, I've watch/read plenty of deep/ intellectual anime/manga that's 10x more unique than hxh. Mod Edit: Removed baiting. |

boredxxx said: Your on point i the Gon explanation which is why I'm having trouble enjoying the show. The main protagonist is not really the hero of the series and his development is odd and confusing to me at times. I think thats one of my issues with getting into this. I like his comedy side and confusion of information but the scissors paper rock thing is kinda wierd. Also I'm reading dragon ball right now where goku does like the same thing i think. I see. Now I might agree with those who commented that, "this show might not be for you." Cause yeah, Gon is no hero and he doesn't intend to be one. In fact, he loses almost all the time. And that's part of his development. After all, the show (as I interpreted it) is all about the MCs' development and their adventures that go through with it. That's what differs him to other shounen MCs out there imo. He's not there to save mankind. He has no power for others to drool over(yet). Gon's just there, motivated and fighting for his own reasons. And I think that's a realistic approach in development. But then again yeah, maybe the show just didn't meet up with what you expect of it, if you know what I mean. And I respect that. |
| You're actually watch Hunter x Hunter and expect to see more fast-paced action? ^_^ Come to think about it, Hunter x Hunter lacks the visual fanservice that the other Shounen Series have. Well, except for Hisoka being buttnaked, of course. Well what do you expect? Not enough fast-paced action Not enough boobs and butts Not enough evil villains with rape-faces oppressing innocent people and insulting the protagonist and his friends. Enough reason for us to hate the said villains that we cheer and celebrate after they get a good beating. It has a lot of talks though ^_^ Hunter x Hunter is indeed boring |

| Can't believe I'm saying this, but I suggest that you get into JoJo's Bizarre Adventure instead. I think that might be more of what you're looking for. |
  |
| That can be explained easily: some people just prefer the generic parts of shonen, the formula, the excessice action, I understand the depth of HxH can be overwhelming to those who come from the big 3. It's perfectly natural for some people to want someone more like Lucci or Pain with no development who just blow things up and calls it war, but hunter x hunter is much more than that. |

boredxxx said: Im with turtle regarding Naruto, I enjoy it a lot. And i had no idea that there was the 2 opinion system with the arcs. I thought it was #chimeraantarcmasterrace type of deal. I think the phantom troupe were much more interesting the the chimera king and guards. I also didnt get too into the Greed Island arc, what do people think about that one? Well the group that thinks the CA arc is the worst, or terrible is a minority. |

BlueXRam said: IntroverTurtle said: It's a very good series but it's no One Piece or Naruto. Don't expect it to surpass them. The next part is mixed, some people love it, some people hate it. And if I'm understanding the title and your post right. It would be better to take extremist out if you really don't hate the series. Did you just say Naruto outclasses Hunter X Hunter? Talk about bad opinions. Please don't give me a lecture like you do when anyone disagrees with you. I thought the exact same thing. In my opinion Naruto doesn't even come close to Hunter x Hunter. One Piece I vastly prefer over Naruto, but still doesn't match up with HxH. Saying it like it is an established fact actually kind of annoys me. I know people have different opinions, but at least don't say it like it is an unbreakable truth. And before anybody mentions Bleach, that scores about the same or even lower than Naruto for me, so no, Hunter x Hunter is so much better than the big three. But as people already said, if you are at episode 102 and find it to be boring, don't bother to continue, I suppose. |

| Did you make this thread for discussion or out of want for people to reassure you you're not the only one who dislikes it? Because I can just name the people for you and you guys can talk about this somewhere else. If you're not into these types of intellectual anime then like many said, this is not for you. Although I doubt you didn't already know that. |

boredxxx said: Qans said: Naruto=/>HunterxHunter>Bleach>One Piece Do you watch all of them? For me it would be Bleach=One piece>Naruto>Fairy Tail>Hunter Fairy Tail is not better than Hunter x Hunter in any universe, though ill give you bleach/one piece over naruto and hunter x hunter even though im not really a fan of one piece. |
| The trolling started with post #3 so I have no idea where the nice discussion was, and then come the other folk who just try to insult the fanbase using your thread as an excuse, which is why I think it was a bad idea. It's not on you if unintentional but this thread can't work well when there are haters. Anyway, to me thr CA is the best arc in the show, and even anime overall. I'm not the only one who shares the sentimenr though. One of the reasons, is that the arc had an extremely solid foundation, which took 1/3 of the entire arc. The second third was setting up everything neatly for the ending. Seriously, I suggest putting the show on hold and watching it from the start with a different approach than you would expect from the other shonen, since it doesn't follow the DBZ... Or to sound more modern, big 3 formula of anime. |

| It took me a lil while to adjust to Hunter too but halfway through Yorknew i was pretty hooked especially with some of the phantom troupe chars. Naruto i liked but shippuden is when i started really marathoning. Fairy tail isnt a bad anime i actually like it on the latest episode but its not on Naruto/One Piece/Bleach level imo cus it feels like the show where the good guy always wins and nobody ever dies and nothing goes wrong just kinda getting old at least in the other animes they go through real adversity and dont always feel like you know whats going to happen in the end Mod Edit: Removed quote of deleted posts. |

| Hate = criticism. Still no one actually made a case of criticism constructively... if at all. And really? Insulting people just because they are fans did not happen? Read previous pages. Okay then, sounds good. |

I saw naruto on tv and watched a few eps then bought 295 eps in 2008 (in ukraine they sold pirated anime in legit stores) and marathoned part 1 and 75 of part 2 then finished rest when i came back to aus). Things go wrong for big 3 chars a lot too. They all lose fights and need to overcome strong enemies like before time skip luffy got owned, so did ichigo but in naruto, kyubi saves him a lot i guess. Fairy tail is awsome and i love friendship powerups haha. The only issue i have with it is the sting vs fairy tail fight which was pure bs. Other than that i even liked the filler cuz it didnt feel like filler.[/quote] How though? It's all plot armor for everyone mostly. Gon for example is the only one Mc whose show doesn't center around or glorify or force to win. Sure some Mcs lose too but only long enough to beat their enemies in round 2. Nothing really went wrong in these shows for quite a while. Mod Edit: Removed quote of deleted post. |

| Except it wasn't the same. Gon actually won the first time but never again. 29 losses. Conclusive. Same with Hanzo. He was weaker than Genthru despite the plan to best him. Sometimes, he never even tries, he just accepts that he has no chance lol |

Hes more of a minor char tho |
PoeticJustice said: Yorknew is overrated. I don't know why people like it so much. The worst character out of the whole group, Kurapika, gets too much focus. He is too OP, his fights were boring. Chrollo was the best thing about that arc. Because it wasn't majorly boring like a lot of the Chimera Ant arc. Kurapika is boring.....if the only relevant thing about a character is how strong they are. Kurapika is certainly more interesting than the other 3....except maybe Leorio (sarcastic). |

Qans said: @Grunbeld Still trying to figure out what parfaited means. And Gon to me is the strangest MC in a shonen series. It doesnt even feel like hes the main character sometimes. Most of the main action revolves around Killua or other characters The world doesn't forcefully bend toward Gon, something happens in the world then Gon is there and it's affecting him and he act to it. It different where Naruto became the center of the war or straw hat became the center figure on every island they goes or Ichigo become such important figure on SS. Like in Yorknew, it was Kurapika's story. Gon just there and it affecting him, but it still Kurapika's story. |
| I suggest you continue watching because you are about to see some epic episodes with a lot of tension and suspense. I am sure you will like them regardless if you don't enjoy this arc so much. Personally, I enjoyed the chimera ant arc from the beginning, even though I felt it dragged at the part with the queen. Tbh, during the fights of some chimera ants(the lion guy and such) the narration bored me a bit so if you are at these episodes be sure it will definitely get better. On a side note, since you like Killua know that he will undergo even more development in this and the next arc. |
| Why you have to like HxH? because people say is the best shounen? It a simply another anime that you dont like and you should dropped it and see an anime that u might like. |

boredxxx said: ESA503 said: Kurapika is mostly about revenge but I consider Gon and Killua to be a lot more interesting.

| Every time I see people insult HXH it's always about there not being enough action or fights. HXH 2011 really isn't your average shounen. Sometimes it dives further than just fights, like the election arc. It's not about crazy shit every second like Naruto, which is why I love the show. |

boredxxx said: jreginald said: CA arc was pretty good from the beginning, imo. I agree with that, at the start it was dark and mysterious and i thought this is it, Killua and Gon going in, theyre gonna tear shit up. But then the stuff with. Knuckle and the other guy was lame, i still dont really get knuckles power and the board games are getting annoying. But isn't this exactly why this series is good? Because it is realistic. Main chars are kids. What do we expect to see a power boost of Fairy Tail proportions, friendship power up? And they beat the main villains? Too cliche, too unrealistic and predictable. I think you aint gonna like what's going to happen, especially the narration. But see for yourself. |

IntroverTurtle said: It's a very good series but it's no One Piece or Naruto. Don't expect it to surpass them. Ummm,, that is more of an opinion, you shouldn't come stating it like it was a fact. I see you a lot around these forums anyways, always bringing up Naruto or OP. Is it really that hard to understand that some people like HxH more than naruto or OP, and vice versa? Secondly, this is a HxH board, I don't think people want to be talking about anything else here. I mean like, I'm not going to naruto chapter threads to tell people that the chapter was "OK, but HxH is better"? Why can't we just instead, talk about the topic instead of fighting over which series is "better", it's completely pointless and I'm sure no one will change their mind about which series they prefer no matter how much you try.
