Topic	Anime/Stuff General V182: "Stop reflecting me in your disgusting eyes"
legendarylemur 06/24/19 5:55:20 PM #170:	It's difficult to say a less disjointed plot is necessarily better though. In cases like Naruto, basically almost nothing happens except whatever's happening to the main characters, or important events between two minor characters happen because the next plot for the main characters needed it to happen. Or in Jojo where people essentially exist to be the next monster of the day for the main cast to face. Even though a lot of the opponents are supposed to have a life of their own, it's honestly really difficult to think of them as such. Things very rarely happen outside the combatants unless the story needed there to be a next thing as fast as possible. Meanwhile, HxH is what happens when an actual world of Nen and the politics and history of people with Nen constantly clash and converge. Gon and friends are not the focal point of the world. They're powerful, but the world is just so much bigger than they are. They're usually not the cause nor the end of major conflicts, and even in something like Greed Island, Biske included, people are constantly trying to game the system, while Gon and Killua simply decide to enjoy it thus just happening to be the only 2 people who are not actively in it for the greed. They only finish it because they happen to be kids when there were people within the island that were significantly stronger than they ever were. Not to mention the people who made Greed Island are presumed to be mind bogglingly stronger and more knowledgable. In fact we later see several creators of Greed Island (mostly Gon's dad) be a significant part of a very vast and complex society of Nen users. To me, those small aspects made the world so believable. But it's also in a sense that there are way too many underlying things just constantly happening in between and underneath the arcs and so much information being passed around that it can be a slog or even unnatural to the standard shounen flow. However, as a guy who's long been tired of the shounen genre, HxH is a breath of fresh air --- "Iwata was awesome" - Mr. Nintendo https://i.imgtc.com/7dRrfE1.jpg <cite>legendarylemur posted [p:923789422] in Anime/Stuf...
