![Who Wrote a Short Story That Seriously Disturbed a Teacher? | Dirty Laundry x Smosh [Full Episode]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/bvHAy_rKoEI/mqdefault.jpg)
Togashi takes chances. He has an idea for an arc and he goes through with it without worrying about pandering like most other authors. After the final arc of the 2011 anime, the manga is still super interesting and different than any other series. The hiatuses may be a pain, but there is no way he thinks up these arcs or chapters in a week.. He's a genius, but he's also a hard worker. One of the best authors ever, I'm glad Shueisha lets him do what he wants
Dorohedoro PREACH !!!
This! More people need to understand that you cant just pop out quality story on a weekly basis.
It's less pandering and more being scared of audience reception and your manga being canned so people take the safe rout, it's understandable. Not everyone can throw dice to decide whether to kill off the main character like Wildbow.
I think a big reason is that HxH never reached any sort of top. While the series is beloved and respected it never threatened the big 3 or anything like that. So it doesn't have to deal with the weight of expectations that something like One Piece does.
Coudn't they have changed it? If he's ill and he's too much of an a perfectionist when it comes to drawning, coudn't they have continued the series as novels or audio dramas or something? Togashi could have even wrote something like that from his bed - or could have dictated it. But I agree: That weekly jump schedule is inhuman and disgusting and only takes away from the mangaka's ability to have a private life and time to think ideas through good enough.
The fact that this arc somehow even works is dumbfounding. It's honestly a miracle. Imagine the pitch for this story. "Hey, I'm gonna write an arc where an hour of in-universe time goes by across 25 episodes." Literally the entire length of most other animes, dedicated to AN HOUR. That sounds absolutely horrendous on paper, but it somehow all came together and totally worked in the end. Incredibly impressive from a writing standpoint.
Ryan ‘most’ good anime are longer than 25 episodes...
To be fair Goku vs Frieza fight was 5 minutes and Akira Toriyama managed to flesh out 30 episodes
mikegatt76 well that was toei animation not him
And that's why Hunter x Hunter is a masterpiece. xD
Dragon ball z and 10 minutes popped up in my mind
like I need any more reason to love hunter x hunter
Joy Yonque WE ALWAYS DO
Hunter X Hunter is a gift from the Gods
Epic Shonen Guy All hail the god of hiatus

The anime god so rarely blesses us lowly humans

Gods? Nah, from Titans, the godfathers of Gods!!!
1 whole episode if killua on if he should turn around or not... Well.. Shit i guess you are right about that episode lol...
1 whole episode about how Netero pimp-smacks Pitou.
i loved that episode
TBF, only about 1/3 the episode was about Killua in the corridor.
The first 6 minutes focused on Knuckle, Meloreon, Shoot and Morel vs. Youpi. Only the next 6 minutes was about Killua and the next 2 minutes was about Welfin's thoughts on the situation. The succeeding 4.5 minutes was about Pouf's mental breakdown and the begining of Morel vs. Pouf. The final 1.5 minutes was about Gon seeing Netero, Zeno and Meruem.
that episode had me jizzing my shorts 4 more
1 whole episode of Pouf having an orgasm.
are people really not liking this arc? when i read the manga i was holding my breath and are very tense and i even perspire a little bit. its pure genius, i cant even find a comparable manga with this style of writing.
AnimeForYou アニメ帝国
yep, following it week by week was painful
The abundance of narration is the Chimera Ant arc’s only real criticism, but it’s a stupid one IMO.
My problem is that it felt a bit long. If it had been 4-5 episodes shorter I'd have loved it a lot more than I did. Not to say that I dislike it, I just think it could've benefited from just a bit of pruning
Andrew people don't like this arc cause it was overdrawn and many uninteresting characters were added like shoot and knuckle. personally I got so bored with gon and killuas progression I skipped it to see the ants because it was too boring.
Ninja Dynasty Jesus Christ your attention span must be the size of an ant.
Who ever narrated the chimera ant arc deserves a medal.
Agreed
I hope they die in a car crash
When it happens. I want it to be narrated by himself.
XD
The narration of this show is one of the best parts in terms of fleshing out each of the characters' psychodynamics.
But considering most shounen fans are 12 year olds, none of that matters.
Thank you. Thank you for discussing the importance of the narration and the slowmo action. This arc is one of the most divisive in the HxH fandom but Chaos Theory is a perfect way to describe it's greatness.
YASSS BOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII !!!!!

I don't know how many Hunter x Hunter videos you can justify on one channel but if they keep coming I will watch them all
Penelope The gift that keeps on giving!!
Well, 14 of out Aleczandxr's 49 videos are HxH essays. So he might've set the bar. :P
Aleczanxr is my favorite person when analyzing the beauty that is Hunter x Hunter
lol he's the reason why i became intrigued in hxh. Looooved the show
I'm a simple guy. I see Hunter x Hunter I click
Same
lol I literally was about to type the same shit
yes.
I feel the same way about them Hakusho Boys!
I like the way you think
A Digibro video on Hunter x Hunter. I've been spoiled.
Mathwiz97 I know that feel bruh 😁
Mathwiz9 hey man your videos are great keep it up
Mathwiz97 ikr i watch 50 episodes
Mathwiz97 you never watched Hunter x Hunter??????
yes.
Next: A breakdown of the differences in characters interpretation, world atmosphere and cinematography of HxH 1999 and HxH 2011
HxH will always be my favorite shonen anime
same
The Chimera Ant arc is literally the greatest thing that's ever happened.
Jake Port Completely agree
Jake Port The one of the greatest thing in the history of humanity.!!!
After the Golden Age Arc
100000% agreed
nothing will ever top this arc for me for a long long time
Until you start reading seinen.
I'm glad there are more people that appreciate the narrator's presence in this arc of HxH.
Sakamoto Same
It’s fire to me “this is the first time the king felt fear “🤭🤭🤭
Silva killing Cheetu wasn't an accident.
But, thank you for a HxH vid.
That kill caught me by surprise so bad. XD It was such a giant "FUCK YOU!"
I god damn loved the CA arc. I watched it in 2 sittings as I was binging the show and while I liked the show as a whole it was the Palace Invasion part of the CA arc that cemented Hunter x Hunter as my favorite anime ever. It's just amazing.
Talix You said it
Same xD I never thought anything would be able to beat Steins;Gate as my favourite anime, but then the Palace Invasion happened.
Digibro talking about one of my favorite anime AND my favorite part of the series? I'm full SCHWING.
ShaKing807 SAAAAAAAAME
WE IN THIS FAM!
Yeah, when shit hit the fan, one 25 minute long episode described like 10 seconds of real time. Pure awesomeness.
finished hxh today after marathoning it for 5 days =) My favorite anime now.
HenriqueRJchiki great
HOLY FUCKING SHIT FUCK BLESSSSS!!!!!!!!!

The Hunter x Hunter 2011 Dickriding Association Hey it's you again. Guess your name is accurate. Still waiting on where to sign up...
Dude... the "account name"
Dude... the "account name"
i want to put pitou's ears in my mouth MY DUDE!
This is my all time favorite anime. I love the manga aswell. Hope it comes back soon.
I literally just finished rewatching Hunter X Hunter this is perfect.
mythousandfaces Marvelous
I've watched hxh 6 times and if i feel like it i'll watch it again that's how good this series is.
I just finished watching it for the first time a few weeks ago after putting it off for a long time. I tried it once before but never got through the first episode, lol. Second time I binged it in about 4 days and an extra day to catch up on the manga. Guess you could say Im a fan of it.
holy shit 6 times? now i'm encouraged to watch it the third time.
Do it
Am I the only person who thought it was really cool that that dumb little hand-binocular thing hisoka did before we knew what any of this shit was way the fuck back in the hunter exam arc was just casually revealed to be an actual nen power in that scene with netero
Wait what, I need an episode reference now. I have to rewatch that!
Holy shit this anime is a masterpiece. I cant believe i want to rewatch a 148 episode series when im too lazy to watch normal feature lenght films.
Oh shit! That's awesome.
Now that you've mentioned it.
The mere fact this arc exists is art. The amount of work and things that fell into place so it could exist is art. The arc itself is art.
Fuck I know what I am rewatching once college break starts
And remember:
If you don't like Chimera Ant. You're wrong.
Don't @ me.
@CherryBoyWriter
Solis I see what you did there ;)
CherryBoyWriter You right
Probably, if you watched this arc waiting for one episode a week, it will be boring but watching it in one sitting is one hell of an experience.
Chimera ant arc is a masterpiece. Yorknew is still my favorite arc but chimera is just incredible. I often see people say they hated the narration but the narration definitely made it 100% better to me.
youngdefiant Agree
THANK YOU!!!! It's so tiring always seeing a bunch of impatient kids on the internet completely missing the point of the narration.
This is the kind of digibro content I want to see.
The chimera ant arc is the best anything
For real. The greatest arc in the history of fiction in my opinion.
Chaos is Togashi's last name
I thought it was Togashi
Pablo360able WRONG! It's ToGODshi!
I adored Hunter X Hunter, I miss Gon and Killua dearly
Meruem x Komugi is the best ship of all time
JTricks Reviews #Truefacts #Thisguygetsit
Just facts. Don't @ me.
She's a child. You're shipping a child with a grown "creature". Sure she may technically be older than him, but that doesn't change the fact that he's physically matured and she is not. So the best ship of all time contains pedophilia and bestiality? You should probably think before declaring a ship.
TJ Hooker - She's actually a woman. It was specifically stated she was Gungi champion for a decade, so yh.
TJ Hooker Komugi is older than Meruem . Meruem is only 9 days old
holy shit thank you so much for this video Digi, i LOVED the narration in the HXH chimera arc and i agree it was the PERFECT way to handle such intense narrative, rushing things out just wouldn't have worked as well, i simply cannot understand people who dont have the patience to truly understand the beauty of this arc
Sort of agree. but also disagree.
Did we really have to be told Pitou cant fly so Pitou would fall straight down and charge up a jump more than the time she jumped at Kite?
Fuck yes!!! These last 3 videos have been some of my favorite of all time. Before them, I was paying way more attention to your other channels and the PCP, thinking there was something lacking in your videos.
But this series of videos explaining why you love your favorite anime show the exact amount of quality and passion that make you my favorite content creator.
Narrator-san was my favorite character in the CA arc
Narrator-san had the best character development
Honestly one of my favourite videos you've made
ikr? I watched it like 5 times the day it came out and translated the entire thing to portuguese. I still keep comming back to rewatch it.
What always struck me about HxH is how the seemingly kid-oriented world and art style is juxtaposed with such horrific events and characters who casually commit mass murder. Just think about the world. On one hand it's presented in a rather lighthearted way, but beneath the surface, assassination normal and commonplace as is nuclear war. There's no lesson in all of it, and the characters barely bat an eye to a lot of the world's brutality. It's a very bright and colorful world full of mystery and adventure which has zero regard for human life.
that`s what i love about it too. it just seem so unique to me
HunterxHunter 2011 is one of the all time greats and this arc was what really sold me on that. The amount of detail and unexpectedness is just... completely unparalleled. Thank you for the video Digi
HxH, otherwise known as fucking perfection.

It really is far from perfect, if it was perfect it wouldn't be as great as it is.

This is my favorite arc in Hunter x Hunter and I'm always a bit let down when other people say they don't like it or describe it as a slog. I mean, it's fucking great and intense. The palace assault is the best part!
The Hamster Alliance Ikr!! Those guys just have no taste
How can you not understand that using FOUR entire episodes to get past a flight of STAIRS starts to feel dragging :/
@@MrWilbert7 Summing up the beginning of the palace invasion as the extermination team going up stairs for 4 episodes, is a disservice to character moments and events happening around it. To be fair, it only takes two episodes, 112 and 113, for Gon, Killua, and Morel to get past the stairway. Technically, Morel was the only one who got past the staircase, since Gon and Killua took a detour when it was destroyed.
Ep.112 is split in between the stairway scene, Pitou realizing the situation, and Komugi getting injured. This episode primarily focuses on the character's thoughts and reactions allowing the episode to not feel too chaotic. By the beginning half of Ep.113, Gon, Killua, Ikalgo, and Morel are already heading to their respective missions, since Knuckle, Shoot, and Meleoron are already facing Youpi.
I can understand that the narrator can be a problem, but at the very least there is a clear progression of events.
honestly? when there was super drawn out episodes and stuff it made me so tense and when an entire episode was about killua running i was like "oh jesus I GOTTA WATCH THE NEXT ONE!" and thats how i ended up binging the entire arc in four days.
Hunter X Hunter the beauty of the greatest Shonen in history
This whole new project you started where you tell us what your favorite shows are, and why they are your favorite seems like a crazy new level to this channel and to you as a content creator, every video ive seem in this series has been well thought out and explained with certainty and thoroughly. Really loving the recent content is what i’m getting at. I love this channel even more than i did before.

why do people still find this joke funny
Daymaster Still? That implies this string of words that cause unusual exhale of breath due to a inconsistency of what our minds expect has saturated the Information highway before I've heard about it.
The joke has been around since Digi switched his Patreon to monthly back in like May and no one has ever done anything to vary it. I guess it could still be funny if you haven't seen it before, but the original context has been so far burred under the meme at this point that I just find it annoying. I'm probably the only weirdo who thinks that way, though.
8:00 this section exactly describes what lands Togashi on my favorites as well.
inconclusion, Togashi is a genius
The arc feels like a step by step narrative of WW1 or 2 and what lead each army to do what. With the characters of Hxh feeling as real as the countries fighting.
If they actually spent an entire episode on why killua turned around, I never noticed
which is probably saying something great about the anime because they made the entire fight at the castle so interesting
Another series that I need to rewatch, not only because I missed the series, but to further appreciate the hype storytelling of the Chimera Ant arc.
holy shit that Barats&Bereta clip is a blast from the past
Dude... Thank you so much for making this video. I've told my friends many times that the attention to detail and the focus of narration on the chimera ant arc doesn't make the anime worse at all, in fact it's what makes it so different and so amazing. To me, this anime is definitely a masterpiece, and every time I re-watch it I end up loving it even more. Thank you so much, I will be subscribing to you and showing this video to my friends!
"every time I re-watch"
You mean all the 150 episodes?
Yep hahaha
Simply put: the narrator is like a sports commentator. It hypes what needs to be hyped and it explains things to the viewers what had happened
I love you, Digibro. Thank you for this video.
Everyone who hasn't seen HxH yet, get on that shit! Its amazing.
Thanks Zura
The whole narration thing really sold it to me. It made it sound like it was a real legend in motion. A story being told in hundreds of years from now. It's really really good.
Man your analysis are fucking mint.
Thank you so much for making this! And uploading it. My ex introduced the series to me and we watched the whole thing together. That last arc was one of the most emotionally draining and beautiful things ever
You always make me like HxH more each time you make a video on it.
I love the narration and slow motion when I watched it
The way you talk about power levels and such with the main cast being weak is part of what I enjoy about the Toriko manga; early in the series our cast (sans the straight man Komatsu) are built up to be super powerful beings, but the scale of Toriko's world starts outpacing these badass characters quite quickly. Even after their first big power-up, where the capture level system starts its bloat and city-scale destruction starts becoming the norm, it's made quite clear that they're still very much small-fry in the grand scale of things.
Despite power creep appearing to be through the roof with a cursory glance, we're actually shown things close to the ceiling mid-story and our main cast is made out to be vulnerable well before then despite being monsters in their own right. The best part is after the second big power-up, which takes place during a several year long timeskip, our cast still can't measure up to the big men and beasts of the world. Toriko, a man who by now doesn't even need to fight creatures that could end our planet several times over and just scares them away, is less-than-casually one-shot by the literal snort of one of the strongest animals out there and only barely survives the encounter via plot and plenty of foreshadowing.
It's not perfect by any means; Toriko is a standard battle shonen for all intents and purposes, and aside from its focus on food there's few grand differences from the norm (though I do enjoy its little touches like properly adult main characters ages 25-30) but it's currently my favorite manga until One Piece ever decides to finish and as such I'd recommend it. Just don't read it while you're hungry
I watched the anime but in the last episodes it turned to garbage, at which point in the manga should I continue?
I haven't watched the anime myself, but I know the story heavily diverges at some point on top of it being a mess. A cursory check tells me the major deviations start around chapter 233, Toriko vs Starjun, but also that some minor changes in the anime may want you going as far back as the Meteor Garlic arc around chapter 156. Up to you where you approach that
Toriko manga=phenominal
Toriko anime=wtf is this garbage
I LOVE this arc. Your explanation is almost word for word my explanation to my friend (more into Fairy Tail) about how incredible this is overall and how important the pace is.
This arc could not be what it was was it in the forced week by week creation without the time away from the weekly grind to set all this up. Togashi really pushed the boat out to timeless effect.
Ayyy finally talkin about the best arc ever noice
Digibro, you just won me over with the analysis shown on this video. Keep up the work, man!
20 episode later.....
narrator : 3 minutes has passed
7 episodes not 20
I ADORED the narrator and chaos of the later half of the arc. It felt like I was sitting down at a fireplace as Togashi was reading from a story book.
Fast as fuck boys
This video is literally all I think of HxH explained in a satisfying way and ready to be shared, thank you youtubers for doing the explanation part
I'm in the chimera ant arc *AND KILLUA JUST WENT GOD SPEED OMG SOO HYPE!!!* 😵😍😏⚡️💯
Godspeed is what Super Saiyan 3 was supposed to be.
*KANMURU*
Pablo360able how? Killua didn't yell at all he just did it LIKA BOSS😍😍⚡️💯
Jun Jin huh
I meant because it's a powerful technique that makes the hero even more powerful than before in pretty much every way but that is limited by the short amount of time they can use it for
I'm so happy you made this video. HXH is a masterpiece....just fantastic.
Im like a minute into the video. Already a masterpiece
I think this might me be one of my favorite videos of yours ever
Pitou is the cutest thing of all time.
WAT UP MY DUUUUUUUUDE!!!
i want to put pitou's ears in my mouth I agree with your name but I'd agree more if it said pu$$y instead of ears
But he's a guy.
adrixshadow Unspecified gender. Most people believe they don't have a gender in the manga, but Pitou is clearly a girl in the anime.
fuck you, fuck me, fuck pitou, fuck yes
OK, dude, you just combined two of my favorite things. I saw Chaos Theory, I got hyped. I saw Hunter X Hunter, I got hyped. The fact that you actually then made a connection between the two, and used legitimate chaos theory principles to illuminate an aspect of storytelling is seriously incredible. You get all the points.
i think this is the best video you've ever made
Proxy one On this channel I'm inclined to agree!
This arc was one of the best things I've seen in terms of character progression. Truly a masterpiece
I see Hunter x Hunter I click.
Finally finished this arc and man is it exciting. It always finds newways to betray my expectations. I think its super notable that Gon only ever glimpsed the main antagonist once. An entire Shounen series arc and the mainhero never even talked to the main baddie! What other series even does that!?
AtticusSP Yea I noticed that too. I can't think of any other show where the main protagonist and main antagonist never even MEET once. Not even so much as eye contact.
That arc, it is in my opinion the best arc in all of anime, it has a lot of slow moments but all is worthwhile and god damn is that last 30 episode of it amazing and Pitou going from the gross vile monster they are to feeling bad about the fate they get and the backlash of it. Though I'm disappointed no permanent damage is left on Gon from the treasure island arc nor the chimera ant arc. However his recovery isn't a deus-ex-machina since the treasure island one's pre-established as a thing and while "Something" is a bit of a deus-ex-machina god damn I love the character and that arc is really good too.
Gon, is how you do Sasuke right!
Gon is not Sasuke lol
Killua is (kinda?) Sasuke. Except that the episode where they go and get Killua back isn't the entire show. :)
I meant more the revenge thing. Gon's dark and focussed the whole time but isn't going on and on and on about revenge. Only when he's face to face with his target he goes completely serious.
Jeff Cyr
Gon is more like Naruto in that regard, then. Naruto goes fucking crazy with revenge but it isn't his whole character.
Though I don't much like comparing Naruto to HxH anyway. :p
HxH is so much more with so many intricacies with the characters and comparing it to another shonen anime is a little degrading to be honest.
(Not hating on Naruto, btw. Figured I need to clear that up before I get a ton of hate, lol.)
That's true. Still I wish there had been some lasting damage to Gon, sure heal his body so he can move and such but like make him weaker as a result or something. I know why they did it this way since he's just a kid it'd be really depressing otherwise but still.
Jeff Cyr
Hehe you haven't read any of the Dark Continent arc in the manga, huh?
I won't spoil it but trust me there is _some_ permanent damage to Gon. ;)
Meruem and Komugi's final scene was absolutely heart wrenching. No other scene in the entire series compares to the simple fact that a being born with power greater than almost all creatures in the world, decided to spend his final moments playing a board game with a little blind girl.
HunterXHunter is my favorite anime of all time.
Glad you made this so soon after I heard HxH was one of your favorites and I was curious to here your thoughts as I fucking love this series.
then people is going to hate the dark continent arc, where every manga chapter is basically a wall of text explaining the situation, with some draws in it xD
Not really, it’s a different type of wall of text. It’s similar to death note where characters are thinking to themselves and weighing out options, there’s actually very VERY little narration, and when it’s used it’s only used to explain a Nen ability occasionally which was the norm in prior arcs.
this video reminded me of why hunter x hunter is my favorite anime
The narration is one of the most important facets of the show in terms of fleshing out each of the character's psychodynamics.
But considering most shounen fans have the frontal lobes of a dying squirrel, these complaints make sense.
Btw, don't claim to be a Togashi fan if you haven't read / seen Level E. That random guy who commented in the Heaven's Arc arena was actually a reference to prince baka.
Whackashit so true and it solves one of biggest problem with shounen, people explaining their powers to the enemy. I hate when they do that, why on earth would you reveal your hand. One solution to that is a third party explaining like Zetsu during the Sasuke vs Itachi.
But that would not be possible in HXH so a narrator is definitely the way the go. And the voice acting on that narrator was through the roof like Kamina's giga drill breaker
It's actually exactly the opposite. It's easy to say that other people are dumb for having a different opinion than you. You can like the narrator if you want but for a lot of fans what he said was redundant. I felt like the show thought I was too dumb to pick up on it's nuance.
Btw, I'm not saying that the narrator was never useful or never added anything to the arc. There were just a lot of scenes where he didn't add much that could've been cut out. This also would've made the scenes that the narrators makes better stick out more.
I'm a huge fan of hxh and of the CA in particular, I think the narrator was crucial to the arc, and I never watched any long shounen in my life, but your comment was the most pretentious thing I've ever read man
Not really, shonen definitely attracts 12 year olds who go in for cheap thrills. So alot of the criticism against the narrator is "I want more action!" There is valid criticism to be had, but generally trying to be original in the shonen genre will confuse the younger audience that just wants to see shit blow up every 5 seconds.
It's like the exact opposite. Anyone with any intelligence at all could see and tell what was going on and why things were happening how they were and what the characters were thinking without needing a guy literally just telling us. That is absolutely awful writing. Like the biggest "don't do this" in all of writing. There can be exceptions where some tell don't show can work but this arc was just literally telling us every single thought in a character's head and would go over the same thoughts and scenario redundantly time and time again for episodes on end without much actually changing as if we'd forgotten since ten minutes ago. It insults the audience's intelligence to think they need absolutely everything literally spelled out to them word by word. So not only is your comment entirely pretentious and arrogant, it's wrong too.
Overall I loved parts of the arc and how it ended especially but by god was I close to stopping like a hundred times during it because I got what was happening, I knew the circumstances, I'd been told their exact thoughts ten times over and still it repeated, again and again. It was exhausting and a complete waste of time. A good writer gets across these things without needing to go directly into explaining it all with thought or especially with narration. It's for this very reason I don't know if I could ever watch through it again nor could I wholeheartedly recommend that arc to a person to watch despite the whole of what happens being amazing, because of how it was executed. It was the equivalent of watching like 50 filler episodes in the middle of an important story arc filled with flashbacks to ram stuff we already know down our throats yet again and the whole time I was just frustrated and wanting them to move on and get to the point because we all knew the situation.
Just finished the 2011 series yesterday. One of my favorite shonen anime by far. If only they would come back from hiatus and catch up...looks like it's off to the manga.
Waiting for Digi's reaction to O MY RUBBER NEN
By the time when Neferpitou was knocked back (I forget why) and he's just falling while the narrator is talking. I just thought of everything you said about how fast this whole battle could go and would make no since at all with no narration, the fact that people may not like the narrator explaining exactly what Neferpitou is thinking while he is falling, and the fact that I fucking love it and can't wait to finish this arc
This show is perfect. I honestly don't have a single flaw with it. Except one. I didn't honestly like how kite was reborn. He would've been better of dead, that way Gon's actions would've had a better impact. I'm not sure if I should call it a major flaw though. Other than this, this show gets an easy 10/10
all in the game yo
This was so well put together
i wanted the royal guards to die and then they did and i felt empty inside.hunter x hunter is the best anime anyone will ever watch.
It's been too long since I watched this show. Time to rewatch it
I´m a simple man. I see Pitou i like.
The cholera ant arc was by far my absolute FAVORITE arc! I loved it!
One day i wish to witness the end of hunter x hunter, but that is as possible as the end of berserk.
or One Piece :D
One of my favorite anime, but I never stood back to appreciate just what Togashi accomplished in this arc. I want to give it a go again just to see how the pieces moved.
Fuck man, the Chimera Ant arc is beautiful. One of my favorite vids yet. Planted a seed in my mind that blew up and warped my perspective.
I don't think having narration to explain details is bad, but when it explains the obvious it starts getting annoying to me. In earlier episodes, the show used a fish eye lense close-up on killua's eye to show suprise and fear, but when the butterfly and red bodyguard (sorry, forgot the names its been a while) see the king's body after the fight with Netero, the narrator just slowly explains that the bodyguards are suprised instead of using the amazing creative visuals to show emotions in the show.
tl;dr: narrator explains stuff that is super obvious/doesn't need explanation and it gets old after already thoroughly narrating every second.
Agreed with those parts, but I say like 70% of the time, the Narrator was needed
Finally a counter argument that makes sense. 'Show, don't tell' is indeed compromised by this approach. However I feel that the pay-off in the end outweighs the penalties
I watch anime videos to see another world, to be figuratively transported into a foreign realm beyond my comprehension or sanity. This satisfied that longing. Thank you.
