Am I watching the Madoka of shonen?

No, you are watching the Evangelion of shonen.

You're watching overrated shit.

So it is like Madoka.

depression or just plain stupid

Don't make the cat girl cry.

Then can I make that ?

fuck you

This is the epitome of "Wait wait it gets good lmao", 26 fucking episodes in and it was still complete trash.

Why the fuck people worship CA arc is still a mystery to me. Maybe the shonenkids who never saw anything but shonenshit were mindblown by it or something, it's kinda embarrassing but then again this is anime, even philosophy 101 is mindblowing.

It gets good when you get to the chimera ant arc, which is unfortunately like 100 episodes in. Every other part is literally just garbage and that arc alone has made HxH legendary, it could be a standalone anime.

Go to Uni, user.

Hey guys, this guy went to uni, he's so smart.

Yeah I remember everyone talking about this Chimera arc but holy shit 100 episodes is insufferable

No, i'm watching the Dark Souls of Naruto-like series.

Post yfw it's a Killua roleplays with his family episode.

>unironically being a NEET/not having higher education
Fuck off, kiddo. Come back when you can fathom things above high school level. Anime is for intellectuals, not children like you.

I don't give a fuck where you went or your shit taste.
The fact is CA was a great arc with good themes, messages and developments.
Go back watchingCat Soup, muh elitist.

You didn't even reach yorkshin faggot

see

Kiddo? Tsk, I may look young but I've lived ten of your lifetimes, boy...

>not being a fucking shit eating child makes you Le Fedora
Enjoy eating shit, user. How's Boruto going? Is the Naruto anime finally going to end?

>Anime is for intellectuals, not children like you.
This is you

You don't eat a pile of shit just because there's a little bit of cake in it user

Does Madoka have the properties of both rubber and gum?

Don't think so friendo.

this

That's not what hunter x hunter is, but whatever, your loss.

>Why the fuck people worship CA arc is still a mystery to me

What's wrong, user? Don't you enjoy forced romance, momentum-killing training arcs, character designs from the mind of a 6-year-old child, geriatric pacing, and ham-handed attempts at philosophizing?

So is the idea supposed to be that Hisoka is gay so he jizzes on people? Because that is basically what his attacks are.

This whole thread is cringeworthy beyond no end.

The Chimera Ant arc is truly the Madoka Magica of Evangelion.

This is now a foot thread.

Oh the sweet irony.

That's exactly what it is user

fuck you there is nothing wrong with Cell. Toriyama did a good job on him.

There's nothing better in this world than derailing these threads and annoying all you pissbabies. Go to /r/anime where you belong.

Holy shit fuck off cucko
If you're going to unironically watch Shonen you might as well just go back to American cartoons where you belong, since you're obviously not subhuman manchild already.

Is that all you can post? I won, you fucking loser. If all you can post is boogymen, I won. And I killed your thread, too. Try Reddit, they'll suck your cock if you want to talk about meme anime.

Yorkshin was better than CA.

I regret having wasted so much time watching 148 episodes of this overrated trash.

Name a better arc than CA from any other shounenshit except for HxH itself.

>philosophy 101
>entry-level philosophy entry level
Typical pretentious pseudo-intellectual. I bet you shitpost on NGE threads as well.
Stay on Sup Forums.

Meruem was the pinnacle of a shonen villain. He was perfect.

Why would you watch 148 episodes of an anime you don't even like Kyle?

>AND THEN THE GIRL DIES AND THEN HE DEVELOPES EMOTIONS
Did you even watch it or is that just shit you're posting from earsay Sup Forums-kun? He died before Komugi, you're retarded.

>she will never use binky on your benis

Serious question: I'm not willing to watch an anime for 40+ episodes while waiting for it to get good. Can I just skip to the Chimera Ant part and be okay? Or do I HAVE to watch the proceeding episodes?

Because you guys keep saying that "get's good in Chimera Ants".

This has to be the only anime in history where Bromance creates a Yandere

Read Heaven's Arena arc so you know what nen is

Or don't be a faggot and read the entire thing

The only bad arcs are the Zoldyck Family arc and the Chairman Election arc and those are the shortest ones by far.

Chairman Election isn't really bad.
I'd say Zoldyck + Arena is the weakest part of the series.

I think the worst part is that some people unironically think he is a good villain. He had no personality, appeared far too late into the arc to have any kind of credibility, and then the audience is supposed to feel emotionally moved by his death despite him wantonly committing murder on innocent people.

What a shit villain.

>and read the entire thing

I forgot it was adapted from a mango. That sounds much easier. I will do that instead.

>forced romance
Romance was barely implied, that's the opposite of forced romance you stupid faggot.
>momentum-killing training arcs
The only training part happened after the climax of NGL and the vast majority of it was skipped. It also was very short, wasn't the focus and there were other things going on. It didn't kill any momentum.
>character designs from the mind of a 6-year-old child
I didn't like them much either except for the RG and the other hunters introduced.
>geriatric pacing
Absolutely nothing wrong with the pacing if you're reading the manga, Kite dies 15 chapters in and Meruem vs Netero was over 20 chapters after the start of the invasion.
>ham-handed attempts at philosophizing
Elaborate.

The Chimera Ant Arc is truly the pinnacle saga that all anime, not just shonen arcs strive to be. Not only is the story telling prodigious, the pacing and character development is top notch. The level of depth that Togashi created is on another level. The exquisite and subtle use of narration at only times of importance delivers an amazing story telling experience.Of the various themes present in this work, his theme of ethics and value theory incorporated with various interactions between the characters appeal to logos, ethos and pathos, and this amalgamation of techniques once again prove his acuity and status as the smartest and wisest writer ever. His profound messages regarding anthropology and the juxtaposition of insects and animals with introspection as a species delivers an amazing tale of tragedy and loss. The fact that he delves into the more psychological aspects of human nature,morality, structuralism, existentialism, meta cognition and phenomenology show that he is the Shakespeare of writing and that he truly understands philosophy, proving that this epic is the most intelligent tale ever crafted. Togashi demonstrates his ken of the human race as a hole through the Chimera Ant Arc, his magnum opus.

It's always good, don't listen to the retarded shitposter. Yorkshin and CA are just excellent.
Who the fuck skips arcs anyway you fucking ADD autismo?

>ADD
I'm not a NEET and I hate wasting time with shonen that take forever to go anywhere.

Am I the only one that really liked Greed Island?

It was fun

>He had no personality
What? That's factually and objectively wrong.
>appeared far too late into the arc
Less than 20 chapters in.
>and then the audience is supposed to feel emotionally moved by his death
You're not "supposed" to feel anything. You have to form your opinions yourself unless you are completely retarded and need panels of characters reacting to something to tell you what you should feel.

I liked it

GI is great. All those video game references make me hard.

Pretty sure a lot of it is made for kids...

I hope one day someone makes an anime that is basically the Chimera Ant arc by itself. HxH is great fun what with the bungee gum aspects and whatnot, but that storyline would thrive in a more realistic tone.

Better than chimera ant arc, seriously fuck chimera ant arc

>election arc
>bad

Read the manga you filthy frog poster.

>Anime is for intellectuals, not children like you.
Stay on r/anime.

>You're not "supposed" to feel anything. You have to form your opinions yourself unless you are completely retarded and need panels of characters reacting to something to tell you what you should feel.

The attempt at emotional manipulation was pretty obvious.

>let's just skype casually 100 episode lol i don't know what could change my vision on the subject

Sup Forums is leaking out.

How exactly? The chapter where he dies is just him asking Komugi to hold him. There's nothing forcing you to feel anything, most people just happen to find it sad because it's a humanizing moment for him showing he's afraid of death.

>manlet

>WUUUH LOOK GUIZE HE IS GOING TO DIE AND HE IS AFRAID OF DEATH WUUUH SO SAD RITE? AND HE IS HOLDING HANDS WITH BLIND GIRL

just stop

Maybe if you didn't type like an asshurt retard you could try to form a coherent opinion.

...

>Sup Forums is leaking out

What did user mean by this?

>most people just happen to find it sad because it's a humanizing moment for him showing he's afraid of death.

This is exactly the problem. It's a cheap attempt to "humanize" a character that there is little reason to care for. You'd have to have a pretty low level of emotional maturity to find his death sad. Which isn't surprising, when you look at the level of discussion in most HxH threads.

>just stop

>It's a cheap attempt to "humanize" a character
Elaborate, i don't see how it's cheap or why you put it between quotes.
>that there is little reason to care for
How do you mean? He's introduced as a character who follows what he's biologically programmed to do, but is also shown to re-think his motivations. He legitimately wants to do the right thing, his end goal is to erase inequality and create a world as fair as possible. He's also shown to be merciful and forgiving on top of that but there's a level of nuance to him as well, as yourself and even Netero pointed out.
If you believe a character has to be 100% good and literally Jesus to care about them i'd have to question your level of emotional maturity instead.

Yeah for me CA arc was the worst arc in HxH Togashi taking so many breaks during it proves it.

Both Yorkshin and GI are vastly superior to CA.

CA > Yorkshin > GI
What does the author taking breaks have to do with your enjoyment of the story?

It means even the author knew he had fucked up in this arc and spent 6 years on an arc that should of taken 2 years just to prevent it from being a complete clusterfuck

That doesn't make any sense, the hiatus started getting bad around chapter 250 and there wasn't too much going on at that point.
