| Nah, it won't. There is way too much information in the arc for it to be communicated in other ways imo. So they resort to narration. Hopefully you'll get used to it through the episodes |
| I don't speak English that much, so please cut me some slack |
| Off topic but when characters try to explain stuff ....it always looks very unnatural ngl |
| . |
| There is too much dialogue in the HxH manga that wouldn't be able to transition well in the anime without the narration. Simply too much info, it did bother me a bit as well but you just gotta deal with it. |
| You're basically in the grinding part of the anime lmao so no it doesn't get better but you get used to it as it goes on.. I would suggest keeping an open mind about it! Without the narration, you'd lose a lot of the context and understanding of the characters and abilities and scene etc which imo are necessary. Yes it is OTT at some points but worth it imo :3  |
rAFKEY said: The story tries to explain everything that happened within 10-20 seconds of real time. It tried to show you the mindset of all the characters and how they develop throughout their encounter. The only way to do that is through narration, if that bores you then thats purely subjective. You definitely can show mindset and emotions without the use of a narrator. Excessive narration is a sign of bad story telling. |

No the actual encounters themselves are highlighted through the narrator. It constantly gave us answers to questions which otherwise would be left unanswered. And dont come at me with 'the audience should figure it out by themselves' crap. The palace invasion encounter woudlve been the most confusing part to the series, if we didnt have the narrator giving us context, to each individual's abilities, motivation and change in character. This is the literal definition of spoon feeding. Not everything requires or needs to be explained/answered to give enough context and background. Things should be balanced from what is said and what is shown which is completely not the case here. If you think the audience figuring out by themselves is crap then you're basically shitting on the basic idea of 'shows don't tell'. |

If you think the audience figuring out by themselves is crap then you're basically shitting on the basic idea of 'shows don't tell'. Ive already answered your question, during that 10 sec where 5 different storylines were occuring all of which were dedicated to stopping the royal guards from getting to the king, narration was neccesary for them to break down what exactly happened, how they reacted and why they did x, y and z. If it isnt your cup of tea then fine, but its there to show exactly how the charwcters progressed throughout the arc all the way to its ending. It was there to make even the most minute of things that happened within the arc significant. If your just there for the flashy fights and choreography then this arc isnt for you, because the writing is designed to make the story flow in a logical and concise way through the narrator. Togashi didn't half ass this project, he knew when and where to put the narrator and at which specific moment that was crucial. The narration was overwhelming through all the arc, not just during that specific scene. Also it's not that the narration = bad, no it's only when the narration was excessive to the point where it's used to to give details which could easily be conveyed without the use of a narrator. If a show fail to tell a story through its visual format, then it fails as a good audio-visual story. There's nothing wrong in wanting to detail a minute long scene, but there's a point where it's completely absurd to try to verbally decipher absolutely anything on screen because most of these things were already shown on screen so it needed not to be explained and also because a show should trust the viewer intelligence so that they can connect the dot themselves and figure things out without being hold handed by a narrator. It's also weird to think the narrator was included in crucial moments when he was basically here everytime and most of the time where he wasn't even needed. |
