It has a fun and adventurous side and a serious and depressing one and manages to balance both very well.

HXH isn't "different." It's like every other damn shonen out there.

Genocyber is a masterpiece everyone has to experience.

Please do me a favor and watch Genocyber.

It's pretty all around perfect from the very start to end imo.

It's one of the most consistent long runners out there in terms of both story and animation and never goes to a low level or hits rough moments that a lot of shounen fall into.

Good soundtracks, good characters, good everything

Because the main characters don't want to become Hunter Hokage, nor they want to become Hunter king, they don't want to destroy the world, neither they want to establish piece in world , they are not "justice" . Overall their goals and their approach to the goals is grounded which make it different from other battle shonen.

Also the battle system is 100 times more creative compared to other shonen.

It never gets repetitive , every Arc is unique and filled with new ideas and charcters.

Exam -> Battle royal -> Suspension thriller -> VR -> Dark seinen type - election and politics. And many more. It might feels a bit inconsistent , but still enjoyable.

It goes more deep into the themes exploring many things like selfishness , human hypocrisy, regret , guilt,life and it's value , survival of spices.

However, what sets the series apart from other battle anime is its unorthodoxy and unpredictability. Shonen tropes and storytelling methods are undermined throughout the series. The main character for example, Gon, fails more than he succeeds. Power-ups based on emotion or willpower are non-existent and fighting in the series is radically different from other battle anime. The main protagonist is not the main focus of every arc either. At certain points in the series, you could even say that Gon has taken a supporting role, especially during the later portions of the CA arc where he isn't given as much focus due to the grand scope of the story. The standard battle anime formula of “lose-train-win” is also undermined. Although there is training, it does not always translate to a victory, nor does it propel the protagonists over or to the same level as their main adversaries in terms of strength. For the most part, the protagonists assume the underdog role. Although they have incredible potential, they are still kids who have a lot to learn. In terms of storytelling, unpredictable developments are commonplace. One thing that continues to amaze me with this show is how it leads viewers into thinking that the story will progress in this direction, only to change course and arrive at a completely different outcome. A good example of this would be the series' arcs which often end in an anti-climatic manner. Basically, there are a lot of scenes and story developments that you won’t see coming because they defy conventional shonen storytelling or are unpredictable in their own right.

The series' unorthodoxy can also be seen in its fights which are primarily cerebral. In addition to being well-executed, HxH fights are smart and involve a lot of strategy. Raw power is a factor but it is not the factor that decides battle outcomes, actual power (nen abilities), experience and strategy are all taken into account. If a main character is outclassed by an opponent in all or most categories, he is likely to lose. Moreover, main characters are not given any special treatment in combat. This smart approach to fighting is further enhanced by nen, a unique and complex power system held by defined rules. The concept of nen, its principles, aura types and many applications on the battlefield reveal the huge amount of thought that was put into it. I still remember having to pause episodes, even research a bit during its introduction, just to digest it in its entirety.

also there's a trend going on on this site to only like hunter x hunter, gintama and one piece and dislike every other shonen out there.

I don't think so, I dislike gintama and I ain't seen a piece

Honestly speaking,
Gon literally said he wants to become the best hunter, is that really different from hokage , pirate king and co what is so grounded about that and personally I prefer if a main character has a goal or it'll end up like bleach
Moreover, "selfishness , human hypocrisy, regret , guilt,life and it's value , survival of spices." Are all in One Piece so hxh isn't unique in that regard

Gon isn't the only mc that loses too,
And all Shonen characters are giving the underdog roll
Bottom line is the main thing that hxh is unique is It's power system

Ok then tell me which action of gon shows he wants to become Best Hunter in the world ? And when did he said tha? Also their is 3 more MC.

Give me examples , when and how these themes explored in one piece.

Give me examples , when and how these themes explored in one piece.

He said that in Episode 1 that he wants to become the best hunter because his dad was a hunter quote me on that

Well for the one piece world the world government is corrupt, there's is massive slavery and greed among the nobles ,There is also a lot of discrimination and racism covered in the Fishman island arc were the fishmen are persecuted on land by the humans for being different

In the post Marineford arc the difference in wealth and greed were portrayed showing how the rich get and the poor get poorer

Human hypocrisy is shown in One Piece during the Enies Lobby arc how The government commited mass genocide of Robin's hometown and called it necessary justice but when pirates do it is seen as evil
Etc

His main goal was to find his father and learn about the hunters and Hunter world, which we often saw him doing. We never saw him trying to do what you said.

When did I talked about corruption , discrimination and racism ,all these themes are explored in many battle shonen Aot , FMAB, Naruto.....what you are mentioning has nothing to do with my previous reply. Answer me what I asked.

It's been long since i read one piece so i don't remember much things.
Why did The government commited mass genocide of Robin's hometown ? And why did pirates do evil? How both the 'evil' same.

Why did The government commited mass genocide of Robin's hometown ? And why did pirates do evil? How both the 'evil' same.

Gon thought to himself at the beginning in order to find his dad he had to become a great hunter which is why he trains and improves himself a lot
And (selfishness , human hypocrisy, regret , guilt,life and it's value , survival of spices.) Selfishness is typical greed and corruption right? Regret? Isn't that also normal a character regretting his/her previous actions. Like Luffy regrets facing and losing to Magellan which caused him to lose 10 years of his life,( Guilt that's also normal. Jimbei feeling guilty that he released Arlong from prison which ended up terrorising Nani's village. Life and it's value, during the Marineford war, Coby's speech, and the latest Wano Chapter with Ussop speaking on how there's no shame in struggling for ur life no matter how pathetic it seems.

As for the Robin thing because her island is filled with archeologists which were trying to uncover the mysteries of the government and the world so they were annihilated.

You're just making random assumption about Gon, to prove yourself right .Gon thought this gon thought that....If he really want to become Hunter King then why he was not trying to do so.

Now you are just nitpicking , you can't bring the certain events or character trait and call it the theme of the story. If you really want to call something 'theme' in one piece, then it is - Friendship, Discrimination, Pirates and their hardships.....

About Robin -

By you'r logic government of any country is hypocratic , because they punish the criminals and stop others to do crime.
I am not saying Robin and her hometown people are completely criminals , but still what they were doing was forbidden by the government (as far as i remember). So they were not being hypocratic.
