“It's cool when watching but absolutely retarded when reflecting over it.” I believe this describes HxH perfectly. Although after a while it stopped being cool for me. Now that I think about it Yorknew really was beginning of the end. Troupe was made to be too nice, so that in one point you start cheering for them. I was interested to see more about them, but was unsure what their role is. I thought maybe they will at some point join the main crew in fighting against some overpowered enemy, like it usually happens. I couldn’t really see how they can become some big enemy of the group again. Ants were the chance for joining forces. It would be really idiotic way of continuing but at least I would be entertained.
It is a shame that the show went this way. It could have been pretty good given how vast the world is and how different everyone’s powers can be.
It was nice talking to you, glad that there are people willing to share their unique opinion. The fact that it is same as mine is a bonus :D
Everything you said about pre-Chimera arcs was true, although I still liked it. With this type of Anime I don’t need everything to make sense and there were a lot of interesting characters. All in all I felt like the great potential was there. Then Chimera arc came and everything was destroyed. My favorite thing you said isn’t in your review but in comment section, it is: “I read a lot of 10/10 reviews for HxH and most describe it as "It's awesome and has amazing writing" without anything specific.” Exactly what I was thinking. When show suddenly decided to become serious all the things you mentioned cannot be overlooked. I don’t see great writing anywhere, but I see a lot of lazy one. Nothing really made sense to me in this arc. I tried to write a post in some forum thread about many things that were bothering me but I am not that skilled writer as you.
At the end even the characters I liked the most became annoying to me. It felt like the writer had no idea how strong he will make his characters to be.
Again thank you for writing such a well-written review.
- Why do you drop Anime while giving them a positive score?
- You gave HxH a 4 and yet you gave other shows that had the same issues (like FT or Naruto) a high score, why?
I am just Curious.
