He calls it "Hunter Hunter" now instead of Hunter X Hunter.
Character growth
damn right
Because the X is silent.
He didn't grow lol. didn't call it 'Hiatus Hiatus'
Ik its hunter hunter butt eye still call it hunter X hunter(sounds cooler to me)
actually the "hunter" in "hunter x hunter" is silent, its actually pronounced "x"
You mean
WHY YOU SHOULD WATCH HUNTER X HUNTER AGAIN
The video after that must and has to be
“WHY YOU SHOULD WATCH HUNTER X HUNTER AGAIN AND AGAIN.”
I honestly wants to do it right now.
yupppp
Same
YOU CAN -SMILE- WATCH HXH AGAIN
Very few pieces of media have ever made me cry.
A bug monster and a girl playing board games almost did.
Sounds like a David Lynch movie.
Bruh I cried like a bitch at the end of the chimera ark
now he should learn how to pronounce "killua" 😅
Watch assination classroom
almost??! how the fuck, i literally cried the hell out of me in this scene lol
1:17 - Because you make some of the best content on RUclips. I am a guy that hardly even watches anime, and I haven't played 90% of all the games you show on your channel, and still I watch every single video you put out, because I know that I'll get something positive out of it.
There really is no secret trick behind it, you’re just really that fucking good at making videos.
I could not explained it better
You're a cool guy or gal 😁
Mangs 💯 percent accurate
Well said man, totally agree 👏 👏 👏
Woh its Mangs, Yoo! :D
Taking a break is a great idea. I don't think that people realize sometimes how difficult making videos for a living can be on the mind (and by extension, the body). Without properly compensating in other aspects of life, it can be very unhealthy to do this as a full-time job. Breaks like this are so important if they're needed to just take a long, deep breath, realign yourself and regain some perspective. Just make sure that you're headed down a path that will benefit you in the end. Relax, have some fun. You have hundreds of thousands of people waiting for you when you come back and they aren't going anywhere. Your health takes foremost priority ahead of everything else, so have a productive and healthy break!
Aleczandxr love your vids bro
Not related to your comment, but people on HxH subreddit have been quite critical of you. Ever plan on clearing that up or ignoring them?
I'd love to see a collaboration video between you and Super Eyepatch Wolf someday.
Hey alexz
Old wolfy seems have to lifted some ideas from your video when talking about killua. Don't mind? Maybe you think you deserve it for your own "idea lifting"
Damn togashi what a legend creating two masterpiece in a lifetime.
The crazy thing is how good they are despite the obstacles he endured while writing them. Imagine he didn’t get bored of Yu Yu Hakusho or deal with mental and physical health issues when writing Hunter X Hunter. He would possibly be heavily considered the greatest mangaka of all time.
Yep, one of my favorite manga artist/writers
@@TheHaloGamer And never truly finishing either of them
YuYu isn't that good. It's good, but it's no masterpiece.
@@Melkac do you read your comment before you post it......
How can you live without knowing a character called killua
in the end he cries and fear his brother , it's not that influencing thing
you need to know a character called KENPACHI

Made it just 4 minutes into this video and wanted to start watching HxH. 11 episodes in already, just saw a 12-year old rip a serial killers heart out, and I'm already hooked.
A+ video Wolfy
How far are you now?
@@shadowfoxx4 Best be fucken finished with it after 5 months.
@Slender Man I agree, there is nothing but praise from everyone who's seen the series and it's still underrated.
“I didn’t use any special technique, I just ripped his heart out…”
Tate Amstutz bruh i finished it in a month
To go back to your initial question, I think what draws people to your content is how you bring so much humanity to your video essays. I feel like I’m getting such a personal look into your mindset when you talk about any piece of media, and that’s so engaging - but I think that makes it all the more emotionally tiring. You are an inspiration, and I am all for you taking a break if you need one bud
I liked your video on 90's LGBT representation.
two of my fav channels supporting one another
im love this
Going off of Jack, you inspire me in the way you so intimately and empathetically engage with what's important to you. I don't care for wrestling, but I heard you out just because it's something you care about.
None of us really know you, but we're all on this journey of life together and it's fulfilling to link up in arms once in a while to celebrate great storytelling.
During your break, consider spending time with people you love and celebrate them! Merry Christmas!
why do i watch because it is good quality content worth watching.

Yup
I subbed cuz of the first HXH vid

Honestly, Gon and Killua's characters and their relationship are probably my favorite thing about hxh. It always amazes me how realistic they are, both as individuals and friends. It's SO rare to see such genuine friendships and such well written child characters in media, especially if it's something darker and more mature like hxh is - and as someone who has a little brother who's their age, I can say that they do act like actual, normal 12 year olds a lot of the time, with all their banter and seemingly endless energy and all the cute lil interactions. Which just makes any bad shit that happens all the more hard hitting.
@F0rc3 M shut up, loser
@F0rc3 M you have to be really fucking soft if you call that an "attack"
@F0rc3 M it’s called desperation most kids are annoying
No bc at the end, when they split up, it’s like I lost 2 very good friends along the way
One of my favorite things about this show is the unpredictability. People who have watched so much anime that it's become second nature can not miss out on the experience of Hunter X Hunter. I'm not saying that it's filled with insane plot twists and surprise moments, like something like Deathnote for example, but it's the way the show constantly deviates from traditional/conventional anime tropes and clichés. It just throws you off guard and surprises you with it's creativity and uniqueness. I loved it. I really hope it finishes hiatus soon.
I can't count how many times I got thrown off watching HxH. The more anime I watch, the more I start to see certain patterns being repeated, especially throughout shounen anime. But HxH has always kept me on my toes and forced me to turn off my brain and just watch the show instead of trying to predict what will happen next. I really appreciate coming across these rare gems such as HxH.
Its * creativity
It’s very strong of you to share your hardships with us. I don’t think people understand how grueling editing can be, and even more in such a smoothly and creative style that you have. I am no expert, but it once took me 70 hours to do a two minute video. It truly is grueling work, and I’m not even counting the time you spend in watching and analyzing the shows, writing the scripts, interacting in social media or with your patreons, etc.
I just want to tell you that what you’re doing is not only great, it’s revolutionary. In this small time in history, we have been given the opportunity to share with millions of people how much we love media, and why. Beautifully crafted videos like the ones you make dissect the true value behind many shows, something many of us could not have done, and it both informs us and confirms to us that there is so much to the media that we watch. This is more noticeable in anime, a colossal media movement that not a half decade ago was wildly misunderstood and shunned in the west, but now is not only accepted, but is becoming a part of the west mainstream culture itself. I am convinced that the reason is because channels like you give us fans an analytical leg to stand on (if that makes sense.)
It also helps creators like me find such inspired works to raise the bar on what we should create. Your videos on have led me to watch works like Berserk, Hunter x Hunter, JJBA, Perfect Blue and read some of Junji Ito’s work. I can confidently say that those works have changed me as a writer and artist.
From the bottom of my heart and from thousands of others, thank you for your hard work and your honesty. Please, please, take care.
Marycruz Villaseñor I know this is not constructive in any way, but thats also some pretty good writing, a thing not too often seen in youtube comments of all places :)
This is perfectly put and I concur every word. Especially regarding Junji Ito and how hard editing can be haha. I’m a professional and it still kills me sometimes
Omg stfu 99% of people dream of having a job as laid back as making RUclips videos. . .and hes not doing anything special hes basically a commentary channel aimed at anime instead of RUclips drama. He also doesnt have to show his face, make skits, time around other people schedules, etc. this is an easy job and I promise you if he takes a break he will be back in a month after realizing how easy he has it compared to any other job, career.
YESSS, I agree with everything you said, especially as a writer and artist! It's incredible how a person making simple content has a power to change our mind to watch and read incredible shows. Thank you, for representing the fans. :D
@@caseychapman5726 "and he's not doing anything special"
lmao what are you talking about? are you LOST?
He IS doing something special. Not going to state why, since it's pretty obvious. You just need to open your eyes a bit more, bud.
For real; unless this channel is irreplaceable for your wellbeing, just take a break or even stop if you feel like it. What do you care what I, or any other person on this comment section, thinks of your upload schedule? Your videos are awesome, and we should be thankful that we get them for free the way we do whether it's once every week or once every year. Hell, I'm still subscribed to JonTron and he uploads, like, once every other apocalypse.
Thank you for making your videos and keeping the channel going. Take care of yourself first, and don't worry too much about people on the internet.
I wholeheartedly agree
Completely agree. Please, take care of yourself and be happy. That is the most important thing for us.
Yes, please do John. Don't overexhaust yourself.
I think this is what pays his bills. He can't just stop.
Nicely put and couldn't agree more.
Why is everyone so bothered by the ending of the HxH anime? At least it has an ending unlike the '99 version. IMO HxH is an almost perfect anime. As close to perfect as any anime can be.
vtecnique24 the manga is still going
The manga
Because everyone wants it to go on, and the manga still goes
I trully like the 2011 ending version, as it closes the "story" in a beautiful, hopeful way. What I mean is that it allows viewers to hope for their own story in case they didn't ready the manga. Another interesting fact is that the anime story ends right when the world suddenly expands, which makes the story about the world we "know" kinda complete. And eventually, it has that bitter-sweet feeling of all good stories that seem too short, yet needed stoping there in order not to ruin their beauty (I know the manga is still going, but as an anime, this is a masterpiece, which is rare when compared to original mangas).
its not over
I'll never forget when I stumbled across this video for the first time. I've never watched HunterxHunter prior, nor have I seen any of your videos. When you started talking about Killua I immediately stopped this video and went on and watched the whole series. Took me a while to finish, due to life but I finished. I have to say that was the best anime I've ever seen in my life. Pure magic, just like this video. Thank you.
We are all thankful for you Eyepatch. I feel like you are one of my favorite youtubers when it comes to talking about different forms of media.
Totally get where you're coming from dude. Take some time for yourself, get some sleep, and maybe even try a new hobbie! Mine's been cooking! Also see you at Magfest dude!!
LittleVMills Its kinda out of nowhere, but I find you in the most surprising comment sections, and pretty regularly to be honest! Btw, your work is also tight as hell!
Woah! Didn't expect you here Mills! I enjoy your content! Also have fun at Magfest.
keep up the good work, and thank for the encouragement for super eyepatch wolf
SPOILER WARNING
"Dont worry Killua, there is no way Kite is dead! We need to train so we can save him".
*Cut to Neferupito holding Kite's chopped head in her laps*
Ahhhhhhhh!!!why would you bring that back up
Yeah nice move buddy, spoil that if anyone hasn't seen it yet
@Jay veeru Z force "it's their fault" do you realise how dumb that statemente is? (Not saying you're dumb) maybe someone's new to anime, or even maybe like me: I started watching anime 3 years ago, but just recently watched and finished HxH in december 2019
@Jay veeru Z force my problem with it is that this video is a "Why you should watch..." one, so...Do you get what I mean?
Oof-
HxH is the golden shounen.
YES,One piece Is the prime example of a shounen and for that reason it took its throne as the king of Shonen.
But the way Tagashi handles the series is complete master class
and no series has ever come to this level before. Characters backstories, intent and mysteries behind them what makes HxH
I Love hxh myself as you can see by my Profile picture , but i have to disagree about the backstory part.
I mean there is a little bit of backstory to some Characters but overall hxh is pretty weak in this one section i have to admit
If u compare it with Naruto for example you will see why i say so.
But still hxh is a great shonen
@@havoc1426 I actually disagree, sometimes less is more and HxH gives the characters just as much backstory as they need. We don't need Melody to have a some super deep backstory, it's a simple one and yet tells us just enough about her and fills us in more when we see how she acts. And same can be said about alot of the characters in HxH, their actions tell more about who they are and why they are that way than telling some boring sad backstory of them. In fact when you think about it, the Chimera ants literally don't even have a background aside from some of the human memories they keep, it's a proof that characters don't need much and often less is more.
That being said, does Naruto really handle backstories that well? Kisame, Deidara, Temari, Tenten, Ino... I can't recall these characters having a very intuitive and good backstory and they're more major characters than someone like Melody and just a fraction of other Naruto characters I could've listed here. The only times Naruto executes backstories "better" is when a whole arc is about the characters for example with Pain and Obito, Itachi etc. I still wouldn't call that superior story telling to HxH though.. Especially since alot of the time the backstories and flashbacks drag on forever in Naruto and tell us more than we need to know about the characters most of the time without really telling us anything that important. Less.. Is more.
@@havoc1426 the reason that's true is mostly because Hunter x Hunter doesn't burden the viewer with overblown dramatic backstories. Naruto is bloated as hell with overdone backstories and the story suffers a lot for it. Hunter x Hunter gives you all you really need and leaves the rest to imagination.
Backstories and flashbacks in Naruto stop everything that's happening so they can tell you this shit that happened previously and happens to be relevant now. The fact that Hunter x Hunter does not do this is reason 1 of like 10 million I think it's better than Naruto. Naruto has a very stop and start story due to the excessive backstories and flashbacks. Hunter x Hunter's flows seamlessly because it rarely drops everything to tell you some random crop from 20 years ago or whatever.
Hunter x Hunter treats its characters more like people, where usually all you get from them is what they do and what they say. That's what being around people is like. I don't need to know Chrollo's backstory. He's more interesting without it. It's the principle of leaving some elements of the story to mystery to keep the audience's mind wandering after its over. Naruto doesn't really have that as it gives you every possible piece of information you could want. And while there's nothing wrong with that, I prefer shows that leave a little to the imagination and don't fill out every piece of their world just because they can.
What makes it master class?
@@horsemask uhhhmmm... what about that full episode that dealt with the entire life of the underground leader of NGL, who by the time the story comes back to the present is (seemingly?) dead and only gets mentioned again twice
Still only one exception, that's pretty awesome
Unfortunately HxH and Berserk some of the greatest series of all time have to be afflicted with the curse of hiatus.
It's like press the button. "You make a critically successful series that everybody loves..... but you can never finish it"
@Daniel Herre truee ,lol
Yh ikr, but that's why every day I get more and more impressed out how oda has been keeping one piece going on for such a long time with limited hiatuses. He has all my respect.
Damn that was Togashi's and Miura's condition the whole time!
i think eichiro oda pressed that button
HxH and Berserk can be joined by Vagabond and REAL. And outside manga, plenty of the best works were never finished. Tolkien's Middle-Earth stuff, for example. Jack Kirby's big plans for the 4th World books. Alan Moore's Big Numbers. Jodorowsky's Dune, Stanley Kubrick's Napoleon... the most wonderful things keep eluding us for some reason.
The Dark Continent Expedition arc is already goddamn incredible, I cant imagine how nuts it's gonna get. It's just getting started.
Man, I really hope one day it gets animated, more people need to see it.
Tserriednich FTW
EDIT: please do take a break, burnout is a real thing and it sucks, especially for content creators. Take some time, figure stuff out, do other stuff, never feel like you need to put out videos about stuff you dont care about. And just go with the flow.
Dude I cant even begin to comprehend how much togashi is expanding the base of the arc, it's unlike anything i've ever seen in any anime ever. I find that i have to study what happened to even keep track.
If he doesn't die before he finishes it, this is going to be the greatest thing ever made imo.
Won't get animated he'll die before he finishes the manga
Togashi still needs to cut down on the excessive amount of exposition. No matter how good a story is, if it's not enjoyable or interesting then readers get bored
@Amer g. Otok All of it is translated and up to date. I usually use mangadex, but it doesnt have all of the HxH chapters, so for this I use is kissmanga, be sure to use ublock origin or some other adblock since it has a lot of pesky ads and sometimes popups
@@SparkZ009 It really is insane. Most stories dont even approach the complexity of pre-expedition NEN, and he built on top of it with what we've learned in the expedition.
I cant even imagine what a Dark Continent arc would entail. I really hope he figures his shit out and doesnt die before finishing it
Gon,
but not forgotten...
Charninja 1 - Badump tsst
Hunter X Hunter is one of the best anime’s out here
Easily would say top 3🤷🏾♂️💯
pretty bold claim, have you seen even 10% of all anime ever made?
@@comprehendsirlgarbagedispo1495 he still is right?
I mean, maybe? Legend of the Galactic Heroes is better than it definitely. As for that, it's hard to give solid points for why it isn't in the next two. HxH is definitely the best shonen in my opinion. How FMAB got half the popularity it did, I will never know. I mean, it's good, but it didn't actually wow me or anything. It really depends on my mood. Koe no Katachi probably had better emotional weight, Sword of the Stranger has the best choreographed fight scene, Code Geass and Deathnote both do good work with the 'strategy' of the show and AoT is one of the best structured shows I have ever scene and it does a good job of being badass. Despite all that, I honestly can't say they are better or worse that HxH simply because I cannot put my finger on what I found so intriguing about the story. I mean, it's a deconstruction of the shonen genre, so maybe that's what did it, but the characters aren't the best I have ever seen (the villains might be though), the animation isn't spectacular, the fights are great but not spectacular and the background of the show isn't exactly well developed either. Still love it, just can't say why I love it so much.
@Timz Tv believe me I've watched a lot more than 20 shows and HxH is still my favorite.Theres some that come close like one piece,jojo,aot,death note,code gueass,vinland saga or haikyuu but none that I've seen surpass it in my opinion
@@rodrigolopezvillegas4272 I never thought I would say this but having read the aot manga (hopefully season 4 lives up to it) it has become imo the best manga of all time surpassing fmab and hxh (but not by a lot) because the story has changed so much and become way more complex with so many twists. Also Eren Yeager probably has the best character development ever (seriously manga readers will understand)
Every time i watch your video I can feel the love you have for the work you are talking about and that feeling is what makes us as a viewer coming back to your channel for more!
Aap yaha ?

Dont they literally have to drag Oda out of the studio to let him rest?
Yes, his breaks are mandatory
Its because Oda really is something else. I'll think understand how he does it, he's been doing this for so long and keeps going without feeling tired. I think he and Luffy, the main character, are similar in that regard, they love what they do because it's fun to them, its an adventure for them. There is always something new to be introduced and explored.
@@chinuaalibatya7345 amazing comment, reminded me of how sui ishida said in his letter to the reader how he wrote that food was losing its taste to him as we was writing tokyo ghoul and in a sense he was becoming a a ghoul himself immersing himself int he story. i'd like to think that what you say is true about oda, lufffy never gives up so why should oda
Ozen the Immovable Making around a million dollars per volume would also help.(5 billion usd per year industry).
Oda is a legend in terms of sheer workmanship and craft What he created will soon surpass Batman and Superman as the most sold comic/Manga and he did it alone over half his life while they needed 50+ years with hundreds of writers and artists to do so.
I've found the only cure for this for me is to take the "Brandon Sanderson" approach and work on something different at the same time. It slows down the channel, but it keeps me sane. I've said this before, but I'd buy anything you made; Comic, documentary, whatever. Best of luck, and remember, you've already contributed so much, you don't owe anyone anything.
Dave! What's up man? I'm one of ur biggest fans bud, love ur work!

Your videos feel like they are coming from the depth of your heart and that sincerity is endearing.
Q: What is the best thing about Hunter X Hunter?
A: You start exercising, keep a healthy diet, taking good care of yourself....
because if togashi out live you, you will never know Hunter X Hunter's ending 😂
This is the Sequel I didn't expected but I needed so much!
Thank you for everything & Merry Christmas 😀
Hey, it's okay to be selfish. You've no obligation to continue this for anyone's sake but your own, and that's okay. Just know that what you've done is something really, really great and special for a lot of people. In a sea of cynical critics, you have the ability to take a really human look at why we love the things we do without placing them on an unreachable pedestal, so that people without a basis in film, animation or fiction of any kind can understand what makes a great work of fiction and how absolutely anybody can learn to tell a good story.
Take your time for yourself, and don't feel ashamed about it. You don't owe us anything, but we owe you so much more than you might understand.

Selfishness is good. When people fail to take care of their own selfish needs, they become a burden on others. You cause more harm to others by constantly putting them first and refusing to treat yourself as kindly as you'd tread others.
Hey speaking as a person dealing with anxiety and depression, you deserve however long of break you need. Your videos got me through rough parts of my life. and if this is your last, thank you for sharing you opinions and hard work. Know that all of us appreciate it!
i cried so many times during Hunter X hunter (i've watched it multiple times)
Finished my 6th run today -cried 6 times during the 148 episodes.
I cried on the last episode because I was sad that such an amazing, fulfilling journey had come to an end...
Crying over a cartoon 🤡
'I guess I don't know why you've taken time out of your day to watch'. Aw, Eyepatch, don't sell yourself short like that. It's your passion, your skill at making your opinion known while neither talking down to or being disdainful to your audience, the gravitas you give to statements on something as fleeting as 'this animated tv show I like', and the editing ability of the backing footage. Never quit, man.
Edit: OH NO I DIDN'T WATCH UNTIL THE END I WORDED THAT LAST SENTENCE EXTREMELY BADLY
I dont understand why he doesnt understand why well made video essays on extremely popular and well loved anime are loved. There isnt good literature discussion when it comes to most anime. Only guys like semblance of sanity do a good job with that. Even the terrible My mothers basement got super popular because he used to do that.
@@djKILLER_ It doesnt even matter if its super high quality. My mothers basement has seen success despite the fact hes terrible at it. I mean the dude currently has 70 dislikes out of 30k views. Thats like getting a 99.999 on a test and saying its not good. And Ive had imposter syndrome at my job (lied on my resume and actually was an imposter) and that doesnt matter as long as the people you serve are happy. And Ill tell you I wasnt getting 99.999% approval. All you need is 51% to be net positive.
No two people have the exact same outlook on a particular situation. To us he is a pinnacle of his niche on this platform, but to him. he is just another person making things.
He may see our love for what he does but can never feel it as we do. it must be translated or converted in some way.
Stefen's point regarding 'Imposter Syndrom' could be a solid point as well, I was thinking the same thing whilst going through the video.
Take a break eyepatch. It's ok to take a break. It's ok to let yourself have room to breath and take the time to figure out what you want. If you decide to stop so be it, we appreciate the videos you did make. If you want to keep going, all the better, I'll still watch as will the rest of the subscribers. But overworking yourself into quitting when you don't want to quit is something you will probably regret. Take that break
The reason I come back to your videos is because each video you put out is a love letter dedicated to a work of art. In an unexplainable way, it brings me such relief knowing that there are others out there that can feel so deeply for something so abstract- and that's at the core of what we desire- to feel understood and completely free to feel what we do. So thank you Eyepatch. Merry Christmas.

Hey I just wanted to say Eyepatch. That first video got me to watch Hunter X Hunter, so thank you. Never would have watched something that long by myself.
The bit in the beginning made me sad. I don’t know about anyone else, but I watch your videos because you have great taste and are great at what you do.
You’ve recommended so much GOLD, and the quality of your editorials are so tops I find myself watching even when I have zero interest in the subject.
You should be super proud of this channel! I hope you always enjoy making content, we love watching ❤️
This video made me cry. You not only captured on a deeper level what this anime conveys, but also how it reflects personal struggle we as creators have in relationship to our creations. This mirrored my own experience as a tattoo artist and I just want to say thank you for making this.
"the person you put all your hope into and just wished to stay beside, ends up being just as capable of evil as the family you ran away from."
i had to pause and physically get up and take a few laps around my neighborhood to just process and take in that sentence, idk why, but it just struck something within me
I feel so powerless. I want to do something, ANYTHING to properly say "thank you" for the work and time you've put into these videos. I'm compelled to. We're human beings, and we take care of each-other. But I guess it's different for you. Your world is much bigger than mine, and I'm just a small part of it. While I'm emotionally invested in you and the ways your words have expanded my views and ideas, there's no way you could possibly be invested in me. Still, however small the gesture might be, keep your eyes open for a dorky guy with collar bone length hair and a shirt with my profile picture. If I ever see you at a convention, I'll buy you a beer. You deserve it.
You got a world just as big--or at the very least, capable of getting just as big, man. But your words are beautiful, and said a lot of what I wanted to say. You get one fat 'like' from me :)
why you should keep on watching super eyepatch wolf no matter what.
thanks for the videos
That first video you posted came to me at the most needed time in my life. I was struggling a lot then and you introducing me to Hunterxhunter just helped so much through the pain.
1:38 "Why You Should Watch Cory in the House"
Rewatch it 10 times cause it was too good.
Eww
Stfu please
If only madhouse make the fight between hisoka vs chrollo ...
ProSuper unfortunately they don’t make sequels. Or so I’ve heard.
@@ripbozo6780 Please , PLEASE TELL ME IT'S NOT TRUE
@alvi syahri yeah
@alvi syahri yup , but don't look it up , spoilers , spoilers everywhere
its very possible that they'll animate more, once a substantial amount of it is completed right?
No, thank YOU for everything you've done. I wouldn't be making content if weren't for people like you, Raycevick and Writing on Games.
I've gotten burnt out myself and my personal relationships have taken a hit, so I understand what you're going through. Please do not feel like you're letting us down because you're not.
You didn't have to keep going but you did and we are forever thankful for that.
Core Ideas you got good videos keep up the good work! Inspiring to see people inspired.
I know this video is a year but I always find myself going back to it, because I feel like no one has embodied the way I feel about HxH like you do. It's been 4 years since I first watched HxH and I've never felt the same about anything ever since. HxH hit me hard, I still wonder why I feel so personally attached to it, but I still can't find the answer, and to be honest I don't think I'll ever know it. But it doesn't matter, I'm just very glad that someone else experienced HxH like I did.
You knew this video was a year?
I'm currently going through college for an art degree at a very tough place with tough professors and instructors. I have fallen apart multiple times trying to hang onto dear life with having to redo assignments many times. All for the sake of having a passion to make what I think are great things I want to share with people, that as of right now, I dont have the skill for. I most likely will be in a lot of student debt at the end of this journey and with all these eating at me constantly. I've been pushed to very dangerous places in my life because of this and nearly let myself go, regardless of what would happen after.
But, then I saw a video pop up on my feed, it was "why you should play Silent Hill 2" and as a fan of the game that had managed to get his hands on each game brand new before the price increase, I watched it for the interest of checking it out. That video was, amazing and well put, eloquent and most of all, passionate. I listened to it while working on an animation that I didnt think I would be able to make. After hearing it I started listening to more videos and eventually found myself anticipating the next video, because at that point all the anxieties that i had on overdrive finally calmed down, and I could focus my work. While I didnt pass I got a better grade and later assignments started to improve. I managed to stay alive for another semester and continued to the following tougher semester. That video most likely saved my semester and probably saved my life given how terrible my mental state was and kinda still is.
Your videos are something I look forward to, I won't lie about that, but I always come back and listen to them while working on my artwork and assignments. And i want to thank you, so very much for saving me from a very dark place. Even if you stop making videos, even if you never return I want you to know that I'm thankful for what you've made. And I want you to know that I'm happy with whatever you do with your channel, if you want to take a break or stop, dont feel ashamed or bad about it you've already have done more than enough for me at least.
Sorry about the long post, hope you continue to do well.
-RealCharacter
Don't make videos because you have to, make them because you want to. Your well-being is of greater importance than our monthly instant gratification. But I won't lie I would prefer your videos every week if it was possible.
Also, should've mentioned what that third favorite show is. Now I can't wait for that video.
It's fine when there's not a unicorns-and-rainbows ending.
But I don't know what to say when the journey is awful, too. That's where I've been for the last decade.
Take a break, Wolf. You're right that you shouldn't work yourself to death; you're wrong that you ever let us down. You have no quotas and no commitments, do your job as much as you want and as much as is healthy, no more and no less. Don't let this enormous privilege go to waste because of that voice on your shoulder telling yourself to work into the dirt or not work at all.
I appreciate you and everything you put into your channel.
Your passion shines through all the work you do.
Never change.
Thanks for providing great content and I ll always look forward to these.
Take care of your self and stay strong!
Hunter x Hunter in a nutshell:
This video from almost a year ago is still up to date.
Seriously, I decided to stop reading till Togashi gets to the Dark Continent.
The pace is so slow it hurts.
Give it a year and they’ll turn the official name to HiatusxHiatus
@@matteoar at this point I wonder what will finish first, hunter x hunter managa, or the last two game of throne books 🤣
Is the third series Initial D? It's cool man, go for it.
what'd make you think it's initial d?
I don't think it's Eva nor cowboy bebop... Nobody would feel ashamed to say out loud that they put one of those two in his personal top3...
@@katisteven3642 me too dude
Nah, it's definitely Neo Yokio.
@@AuraStUrm definitely sao
People are reactionary on RUclips don’t let things get to you dude.
Reactionary is just an insult
Who says the negativity is external?
@Typed Scroll Anybody else heard Typed Scroll's comment in the voice of the Polar Express kid from the meme?
You mean "reactive"
That was such a profound way to end this video. Thank you for sharing what you're going through. It's easy to forget all of the hard work that goes into the videos you're watching on RUclips but there's always someone behind that work and it's not always easy for them.
What I love about your videos, beyond the great insight, is the way you talk about the series you enjoy. It feels real and personal and inspiring.
Please do take a nice break to find what you want, you deserve it.
You are my favorite anime youtuber and I feel we have the same taste in anime and video games, Hunter x Hunter and Yu Yu Hakusho are both my favorite anime of all time with Kaiji and Claymore following up, and you have made videos about most of the shows that I've grown watching and loving like Hajime no Ippo, One Piece, even amazing criticizing videos of shows I also felt the same way as Bleach and Naruto, same opinion on how unfair animation has been to amazing stories like Berserk. Even the same kind of opinions on games like Final Fantasy XV and Silent Hill games seriously man, I simply love your channel even if you take a break for a long time or whatever I'll always be subscribed and watch every video you upload.
I watched your original video about three times even though I already watched all of Hunter X Hunter at that point.
I can always find new love for a show I already liked by watching your recommendations.
Not sure how to convey this in proper english but I appreciate you taking a break to take care of yourself.
Hopefully you'll feel better in the future.
Thank you man! I really love your videos, but more than that, I really needed to hear that message. It made me cry, really.
Rest as much as you need man. Life is a lot more that work, even outstanding work like HxH or your channel, deserve a good rest.
Cya
This is such a touching video, the connections between the message you've taken from Hunter x Hunter and your own personal life exemplify what art does to and for us. Hope you had a good break!
My God, I'm early.
I love you, Super Eyepatch Wolf! You showed me the light that is Baki and HxH!
Hunter x Hunter stands out to me as a purely character-driven story. Which is rare in any medium or genre, not just in shounen action animanga. What keeps it so fresh and exciting and utterly heartbreaking is that the plot is shaped completely by the decisions of every character, rather than characters feeling as though they were created to serve some purpose in the plot. There's nothing wrong with the latter approach, but it leads to storytelling that can feel formulaic and predictable. Which is a problem that plagues shounen especially.
By putting the impetus of plot progression purely in the hands of characters and their organic decisions, Togashi manages to keep his audience on their toes, but without sacrificing a cohesive whole. Because if you go back and examine how the story ended up where it did, you see the dominoes of the decisions each character made, and understand -- based on their personality and motivation --exactly why they made them.
It requires a level of skill as a storyteller that I've seen only a handful of times. I don't say this lightly: Togashi is a genius.
Play Mass Effect if you want another character-driven masterpiece
I don't think Hunter X Hunter is the most character-driven in any media. I think is just a good show and manga. I feel Watchmen the comic book is most character-driven because is examines the characters.
@@brucebanana4486 I mean, I haven't seen or read all the fiction out there. I'm sure there are others that rival it. But the only one I know of that comes close is aSoIaF (the novels, not the show). I haven't read Watchmen and so I can't comment on it. I'm sure it's earned its acclaim.
Dear Santa;
All i want for Christmas is for Netflix to get their act together and release the rest of HunterXHunter.
Seven Deadly Sins or Attack On Titan will suffice.
Happy New Year
- A Recovering Pirate
You could literally jus use a anime streaming website instead 🤨
After being switched to permanently working from home as a result of COVID, I got the chance to watch 2 episodes of anime on Netflix during my lunch. It was the first time I saw some very well-known series like Ouran High School Host Club, Death Note, and even Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.
I can't believe how insanely lucky the timing was when I started watching Hunter x Hunter. By the time I reach the end of S4, it will be June 30th. Seasons 5 & 6 will arrive July 1.
This may be one of my favourite videos you've put out. I think that how you relate this series that you love so much and your current feelings about being a RUclips creator really is eye opening. Thanks
Unironic that two of his three favorite shows were made by the same guy
Dude I subscribed from the first video. Watched all of them since then. Take as much time as you need, and thank you for years of thought provoking entertainment.
I love how honest and sincere in your videos. That's why I "Should Watch" Super Eyepatch Wolf. And take all the time you need to rest up. You deserve it.
I found your channel through the wrestling video and fell in love with the you present and construct your videos. My desk job leaves me always having something on while doing paper work to keep me sane or to keep me busy when its quiet. I started just picking out the videos on things I liked and soon found myself working through every single video just to take in the great and engaging media you create. Now, I find myself continuously checking in to see if you've dropped something new. You're without a doubt one of the best and I'm thankful you take the time to make the content you do!
Like in Hajime no Ippo said "Taking a break is part of the job too"
Go take a break few months, that way ideas will be booming like a fresh underwea- I mean flowers
レイ·ライト -Raylight until the hiatus is over a year
Your closing statement, your more personal thoughts... Things of that nature are why I get excited and love seeing a new video from you. Much more personal and not conforming to the illusion of false natures being a well known RUclipsr brings, that everything wonderful and they are truely happy in every way all the time and there is nothing ever wrong. Your low tone and soft voice help aswell as your analytical, critical and emotional investment and critique help your precense, but its the more human side you choose to show us and the honesty you bring.
Someday I do hope I can chat with you as not only do we share various thoughts and opinions aswell as HunterXHunter and Yu-Yu Hakusho being our all time favorite shows, but I feel we could relate enough to enjoy a good conversation. If you dicide to end your channel or take a break, I don't think anyone would reallt blame you. You're only human, you deserve to live the way you want, just live, thats all anyone can really do or ask for you.
Thank you so much for making these videos it's been a joy to watch and listen to your commentary and insights. The first video I ever saw from you was your first hunterxhunter review and it inspired me to go watch the show with my friend. Since then I've watched a lot of your videos, from the ones about One Punch Man and Mob Psycho 100 to Perfect Blue and Red Line. It's always been really interesting to hear your thoughts and analysis and you always pose a new way to think about these things that I haven't thought of before. I constantly rewatch and reference your videos when talking about anime and manga with my friends. I watch because I love talking about anime and manga and you seem to delight in it the same way I do. I connect with the thoughts and emotions you show in your videos. I relate to them even now, more than I can say. Thank you for sharing that with us. That said, I hope you never find yourself making videos about things you don't like and that this becomes a drain to you rather than a joy. The negativity on the internet is enough to bring even the strongest to their knees and if it is too much then that is totally fair to do what is best for you. Even if it means you stop. If you make videos and share them it should be because you want to and about the topics you care about and for no other reason. It's your channel and you should feel free to do whatever you want with it, whether that's experimenting with new things, or stop being active on it. You don't need to have a plan on where all of this is going. I'm sorry it has had negative impacts on your life and feel free to take whatever time you need to get to a place where you feel okay. If that means you never come back here then that is completely okay. You will be missed. Until then, I look forward to your next video. I hope you find what you're looking for.
I watch super eyepatch wolf because of his detailed analysis, but also because how passionate he is. He feels genuine, and that goes along way for me. Thank you for all the content over the years, I hope 2019 is just as good!
1:37 don't worry we all know it's boku no pico
Haha, of course! If you're actually curious though, it's Evangelion. He mentioned it in an interview.
SirAbblot I’m still waiting for the video
(Hunter x Hunter theme plays)
YOU SHOULD WAAAAAAAATCH AGAAAAAAAAIN!
YOU CAN TRY
Thank you for making these videos. I never would have watched HxH without your first video and now its one of my favorite things I've read/watched/played. I like how your videos are positive and always look forward to another upload.
Thanks so much for everything. You've brought me more joy than you could know through your work. HxH is my all time favorite anime, and one of my favorite pieces of storytelling ever. I would not have ever watched it if it weren't for that very video you had uploaded back in 2015.
I would have NEVER gave Grappler Baki a chance without you dude!
Now it's one of my favs, and im getting ready to start the Netflix anime! Thank you for your opinions and all your amazing edits. Whatever you do going forward thank you, for your time and effort, for your opinions and buttery smooth voice. Rest up bub.
Enjoy the little detours. To the fullest. Because that's where you'll find the things more important than what you want.
Been a fan since that first HxH video. It's my favorite series and your ability to put into words everything I love about it had me hooked. I know it's hard but...try not to put so much pressure on yourself. It's just like you said in the video: things may not be perfect atm but you took that first step and have gone to wild places because of it. Take care of yourself, my man.
I am also really glad that you posted that first video. As someone who has been subscribed to your channel for a while. I will just say I have never been disappointed by your output. Needless to say whatever direction you go with this channel, I'm with you all the way. Thank you for everything and I hope everything works out well for you.
I take time out of my day to watch your videos because of the quality and passion that gets put into them. It is so easy to tell how much you love the shows you talk about and the pride you put into your videos. The analysis are always in depth, though provoking and entertaining. I know I am always in for a good watch when I click on one of your videos. I would have never watched HunterxHunter (2011) if I had not stumbled across your channel. I have amassed a great respect for the work you create, the love you put into all your work. It shows and it makes my day just a little bit brighter.
Two Eyepatch Wolf videos in a about a week is a good gift around Christmas time. You’re my favorite youtuber man, and you always make me happy when I see a new upload from you!
Dude YOURE one of MY favorite RUclipsrs
I started watching HxH on TV when I was in elementary school. My biggest regret is not commiting to finish the series, but I know for sure I'd like to go back to it one day. Pre-teen me might have watched them while gushing over Killua and Kurapika, but the me right now appreciates character like Leorio and Meruem so much more. The friendship of Gon and Killua is so rare among their genre these days, where they are just friends supporting each other, and not being rivals.
I encountered your channel in the beginning of my final thesis. I binge-watched most of your videos, and aspire that I can do my thesis as fine as you do your videos. Your naration hits home, and makes me want to watch shows I wouldn't even glance at before. Thank you for your dedication for your videos. I think you changed the life of more people than you think you did. xx
I subscribed a few months ago. I think you come off as passionate and very genuine. That's what stuck out to me the most. It's clear that you care about every video and the subject presented within. So many channels try to follow a "youtube" style and in the process, they lose that personal touch. Your videos are like listening to a friend talk instead of listening to a guy trying to sell me on a product or their channel. Also, you have a great voice for narration.
I've finally gotten to Chimera ant years after seeing this video. And, under halfway through I came to realize it was doubtlessly my favorite arc in the show.
There's a fascinating complexity I adore from that arc, and I know I'm not through yet.
One thing will never change though: Gon will never get the concept of Stranger Danger. Sure Hisoka creeped him out(that is literally his nickname from me), but now Palm too? He can't be more than what? 13/14 maybe? The wiki says she's 22. That is way too big of an age gap!
Aerie Leah the video isn’t even a year old lol
@@FFeras because I'm weird and came back for some reason to rewatch this, only just seeing your reply. What does that have to do with my commment?
@@aerieleah533 the first sentence of your comment.
Regardless of your choice, thanks for your recommendations, videos, and analyses - you've helped me fall in love with the medium of animation all over again
Same here, that's the very reason I enjoy this channel. In depth anime analysis is always interesting to hear
Agreed. Every one of his videos was a unique experience that managed t both be very personal as well as a great objective analysis.
I don't want the man that poured his heart into these videos to be sad.
So just rest assured that most people here are very thankful for you putting in the effort to provide that quality.
Focus on the overwhelming positivity and don't let the pressure get the better of you.
Don't force anything. Take the time you need to rest.
@@LinkEX Well said, I like to think of these videos as treats. I don't expect them all the time but when the do appear I appreciate the hell out of it.
I can say that these videos definitely a ignited a passion for the animated medium and all the concepts that make it great.
It was you and Aleczandxr who convinced me that Hunter x Hunter was worth watching/reading and I don't regret it a single bit. It's near and dear to me now along with Berserk, a series I previously only heard about in name being a fan of the Soulsborne games, but you gave me the final push to watch/read it. It's one thing when RUclipsrs critique and explore my favorite shows and characters, but it's a spectacular talent when you can successfully encourage someone to watch something *new* and grow to be just as passionate about it as you are. Not every anime essayer here can do that, but you're one of the very few. Thank you for setting me down a path I wish I could walk for the first time all over again with Berserk and Hunter x Hunter.
thank you so much for your content - everyone who avidly, or not so avidly watches you 100% appreciates everything you've ever put out. i remember watching your initial video on HxH, and thinking, "how well spoken this is!", and this video is just as good, if not better than your first video in terms of how well you annunciate everything you need to say. this series has really been the first in all of my life i've been invested in, and your videos help me understand things that are happening in the world, too. thanks.
Your HxH vid was the first vid of yours I watched and ever since then you've propelled me back into anime. In fact, you have recommended what have become some of my favorite shows/reads of all time (Mob Psycho/Berserk/Tekkonkinkreet) while reminding me of shows I once loved (Samurai Jack).
There was a point where i had given up on anime. Too overwhelmed by a slew of underwhelming shows, only to find something special in your tastes and analysis that have given me stories that I will cherish.
Thank you Wolf. Every video you've released has been a treat to watch, even the ones regarding subject matter I have little care for, such as wrestling (which I sent to my friend who is now actually learning to wrestle himself). There has not been one that hasn't been informative and just a joy to watch. And whatever you do, whatever happens with your channel, you will always have given that to me. To all of us.
So, thank you. For everything.
This is great work. I think your videos are just a great way to look at anime.
Grab a drink and take a break. If we can wait for hxh updates, we can wait for your vids. Cheers and happy new year ♡
I love your videos because of the emotions they give me. While sometimes not the most factually accurate, the way you convey what each series or game has done for you is a powerful and important factor. Thank you for everything that you do and I’m so happy it’s been working out. Take as much time as you need and know that many if not all of us will still be here when you return. You are my favorite RUclips channel and one of my favorite creators to have ever graced this platform. You’ve really helped me get through some tough times and I can’t thank you enough.
This video was beautiful. The moment you shared the mutuality of this series with your anxieties and shortcomings really hit me. Keep up the good work!
Hunter Hunter Is My Favorite Anime
Yeah ok Yusuke..
Flynt Flossy is my favorite rapper
too bad it will never get finished, since the manga never will either (in our lifetimes)
Eyepatch, please keep making videos. We absolutely love them. If you need a break please take it, we are here for you. Sorry to hear that you've had personal difficulties. Love you man!
This is the most beautifully written and presented RUclips video I've ever seen. Rarely do videos or tv shows get to me, but this one did. Thank you for sharing
So well written! Thank you for all your creative work!
