They magicked production value out of thin fucking air. I still don't understand how it looks as good as it does.

I'm 4 episodes into it so far and it's enjoyable. Definitely more enjoyable than One Piece so far.

Yeah seriously.

Naturally being a 140ish episode anime it does have its occasional moments of weak art/animation but in general its animaiton and art is well above its peers.

Big agree with this. Some of the one piece movies are as good as the last HxH anime though.

I wouldn't carry any preconceptions about how the show will play out. The author likes to change up themes and use tropes unconventionally a lot. It's a big reason why the show is as good as it is (Which is to say, exceptionally good).

Yes, it's kinda funny how entertaining the series makes anti-climactic endings purely on merit of them being unexpected.

It's a really fantastic show, assuming you mean the 2011. I watched it for the first time earlier this year and it's a damn fantastic ride.

That's dumb advice, imo. Part of the fun of media is having your preconceptions thrown off a cliff and reacting to that.

I like it, but the pacing is p crap after a while. But then, I only watch it one episode a week so if you're marathoning it you prob won't care.

How can you enjoy something when it's literally impossible to tell what's going on in 90% of the panels?

Gee, that's a great point. I guess my subjective opinion has been objectively wrong this whole time, thanks for opening my eyes! The (good but still) manga that has quite poor balance between action and massive info dumps, has chapters that are literally sketches and takes frequent year-long breaks definitely is objectively superior. What was I thinking?

Just think of all the other manga that you have erroneously been able to tell what is going on in the panels. Frightening thought.

I agree that the later arcs are better than the beginning by a decent disparity.

Personally, if a manga is not just characters drawn over a blank backgrounds like Bleach then I can't even understand what's going on. Like, what's the point of drawing things other than characters firing beam attacks at each and close-up reaction shots?

He probably means how Gon is at base so ridiculously strong physically.

It is good. The Chimera Ant Arc is wonderful.

It is not the best shonen ever though. People built it up so much to me that it disappointed me a little bit.

I guess? It's hardly much of an asspull if it's established in literally the first episode that he has prodigal strength. At that point it's just basic suspension of disbelief, and considering most shounen have a child/teenager with super-human strength and durability I still don't exactly understand the criticism.

And even then, it isn't like Gon is the strongest around, even at the end. he has to train a lot, he just learns things quickly and has a lot of raw power. He's pretty well developed imo

If there's any ass-pully character it's Kurapika, and arguably Hisoka.
