    I have a sinking suspicion that people love HxH not for what it is, but moreso for what they think it says. Whenever I hear people talk about the show they don't talk often about the characters or their actions or the arcs as they are displayed in the fiction but they'll talk about the themes, it deconstructing shonen tropes, how dark it is and how it's a """"""""""""""""soft Seinan"""""""""""""". A lot of it feels genuine, but most of it is just empty air and over analysation.
    I've heard so much dialogue about Gon. About how he's a sociopath, a character lacking humanity and controlled simply by instinct and how he's a subversion of Goku from dragon Ball and all I thought while watching it was 'hes ten. He acts like a ten year old kid'. Sure, he might be somewhat unique but this isn't Travis Henderson from Paris, Texas here. We're not watching twin peaks that have obvious allusions or clues to a larger revelation in its narrative.
    I've seen this kind of overtly pretentious conversation before with other anime, the two Biggest victims being Evangelion and Cowboy Bebop. Evangelion is allowed the licence of faux intellectual ramblings because it has those allusions. There's hidden narrative cues. Cowboy bebop, however, doesn't have that. It's themes and narrative is all on the surface and doesn't need much deeper delving. I've seen videos about the themes of economics in CB, and that's dumb.
    It all just feels very very insecure.

    My problem with HxH is Togashi's work ethic.
    Everybody talks about his back pain and Togashi has been riding that excuse for decades.
    Meanwhile, Tite Kubo was on his deathbed grinding out Bleach chapters until Shonen Jump rushed him to finish the story.
    The story lacks ambition because Togashi lacks motivation to finish the story.
    And BTW he will never finish the series. He should just write the story and let a more capable artist draw the manga so we can let this series end already.

      ambition? the man wrote 2 masterpieces by the age of 60 (currently still writing).. hxh he wrote around the whole shonen mold and deconstructed it by carefully planning plotlines so they wouldnt be predictable like other mangas and anime... he planned out characters that to this day are probably some of the best developed characters in any series all that which takes place in less than 20 chapters... he invented a whole card game (greed island) and a board game (gungi) with its own rules, designs, and use that dont even exist outside of the world he created all for it to fit into the story... he basically wrote the 4 main characters just to have them not be together for the majority of the story... and to this day is on route to writing possible the most ambitious arc in manga history with that many characters and plotlines being explored all while managing to keep them intriguing all without even having the main character involved.. the man doesnt need to prove anything to anyone at this point this man is just doing extra in my opinion.. he showed his ambition by sticking to a working project for more than 20 years.. salute the legend dont discredit him by saying he lacks ambition.. thats a huge disrespect to his legacy

      Its Also Worth Noting The Times He Grieves Are Only When He's Not Around Other Troupe Members. The Fact That Half The Troupe Valued Him Over The Spider And The Other Half Valued The Spider Over Him Because That's What He Wanted. It Makes Them Intriguing At The Very Least. Pakunoda's Conundrum, Is It Betrayal To Disregard What Chrollo Said In Order To Save Him Or Is It Betrayal To Let Him Die And Follow His Orders? Interesting Isn't It? Betray Chrollo Or The Spiders? Yet With Chrollo Specifically His Identity Is Tied To The Spider Itself. Is Ut His Identity Being Tied To The Spider Than Makes His Feel Grief When It Loses A Limb Or Does He Care About Them Individually Specifically? Questions Like These Arise Because He's A Mystery Which Is Again, Apart Of His Characterisation. Meaning He Was Intentionally Written This Way. A Lot Of People Get Value From Such A Character.

    Let's just be real there are masterpieces in manga- Berserk is a masterpiece, though it is one that will that forever remain unfinished.
    One Piece might be a masterpiece depending on how it ends; the length and depth of the world gives it a chance for a unique climax arc no other manga could stage. Marineford is its best arc yet and the Final War could be even better depending on how Oda writes it.
    The most impressive aspects of manga require consistency in art story and planning. One Piece's consistency in art and storytelling over decades (same for Berserk), is not seen in works like Naruto or Bleach and that's why they're just not as influential or well regarded in literary circles (Berserk and One Piece are discussed).
    The weekly grind in getting chapters out caused crazy retcons in Naruto and a lack of cohesion and interesting plot in Bleach, while One Piece and Berserk (like it or not) have a much more coherent and well planned out plot

    I get where you’re coming from but I disagree. Hunter x Hunter is definitely ambitious - I know you mentioned you like the Chimera Ant Arc, but that is a perfect example where the protag and the main villain don’t even meet once. That’s pretty ambitious and I can’t think of a good example of this elsewhere. The phantom troupe arc gets you a bunch of unique techniques and is ambitious for really complicating intersecting interests (Zoldycks, phantom troupe, the mob - not a good group but our hero is part of the mob, etc)
    I get if you’re annoyed by people overhyping stuff - I agree with that, it’s an 8/10 in my view (so only slightly higher than you) - a 10/10 in my mind has no flaws and hxh has many (the paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacing, Palm, etc) so if you just mean it isn’t a 10/10 then I agree

    Some of the biggest cap I've ever heard Seth say. It's a damn good thing he's a power scaler first and a writing buff fourth or fifth.
    Like, 7/10 isn't even an unfair score for HxH as a whole really but its all about relativity. I legitimately could not believe he sat there and called HxH unambitious or uninspired implying this is in contrast to its peers in shonen, homeboy is on crack. I hate to bring this up but if you want to talk about unambitious Naruto part 1 bites so much of HxH's archetypes and plot beats its not even funny.
    That aside and more importantly, the messages and ideas behind the chimera ant arc alone and their execution are levels beyond anything contemporaries aside from perhaps One Piece achieve in their storytelling. Some stuff in HxH is honest to god too good to be from a shonen series. Basically all of Naruto's messaging is a shallow mud puddle by comparison and I don't even dislike most of Naruto, it's just not on the same level imho, and ironically, I don't think it tries to be.
    HxH I would argue is too ambitious for its own good especially in its discovery based storytelling style, not the opposite.
    Just a completely detached from reality take, even if you don't dig HxH much to call it unambitious of all things is just mind boggling.

    I much prefer yu yu hakusho. Hxh is more complex but yyh is easier to take in. I’m not referring to the power system or the literary themes but the aesthetics. Yyh has more of what makes shonen good which is nostalgia and high quality aesthetics. Also yu yu hakusho is more grounded and actually more positive and less nihilistic than hunter x hunter. Either show could’ve been a 10 out of 10 but both series tried to take on more than Togashi could handle in my opinion. I like to imagine hunter x hunter is just the end result of what togashi would’ve come up with if the oppressive manga industry let him continue his run of yu yu hakusho back in the 90’s.

    I think Seth's criticism of the training arc can be extended to the unnecessarily complicated battle system. HxH battle system has an extreme abundance of rules, and it becomes a giant cluster f**k in Succession war arc that is unenjoyable to read or to keep up with. Sometimes simpler battle systems are better than complicated one, turning pages into giant walls of text on how a characters ability work isn't what I would call the best battle system in shonen actions series, but so many people believe it to be.

    Oh also, I think that “random murderer” is a great character to show Gon’s moral compass. It’s a perfect demonstration of how he sees good and evil as black and white with no grey area. Gon is furious at the phantom troupe because they do atrocious things and then cry for their fallen comrades but accepts this guy who has also done atrocious things with open arms. The only difference between them is that gon directly benefited from one and not the other. At the end of the training he even thanks him and says something about how he’s a good person because they helped him.
    Also roshi is easily as random as bisky, and bisky being their first masters teacher makes her less random than him.

    The guy in the pit is a nen user who’s stated to be stronger than gon and killua. It lasted 1-2 episodes and it was endurance training set by bisky. The rest of the training was enhancing basic nen techniques and time of use so endurance nen training also.
    Bisky followed them and decided to train them, you was in the nen entrance exam. It’s definitely above 7/10 your opinion is irrelevant, jk.
    Stating it lacks ambition is disingenuous, the ambition is prevalent throughout the entire series, the ambition in the greed island arc is to find more clues related to gons dad in the game hence the entire previous arc trying to obtain the console, become better nen users was also naturally part of it, defeat the bombers was the sub-plot around the arc and finishing greed island to again further the point of the arc which incidentally only took them to kite. It definitely didn’t lack ambition as you say. As for the other arcs, hunter exam was filled with ambition especially expressed for gon when he wanted both him and the assassin to pass in their fight, heavens arena was a training arc and they discovered nen (very ambitious character arc and world building), the mafia auction was centred around kurapikas ambition and desire to kill the troupe, I already went over greed island, the chimera ant arc had the most ambition considering the stakes the hunter association faced, gons rage to revenge kite was his ambition (definitely was not lacking), the desire/ambition was evident on the ants side wanting to birth the king take over the world which slowly dwindled into the kings love for komugi and respect for humans. I don’t really need to specify gons ambition in this arc, his desire to revenge kite was something spectacular and his character profile slowly changing after kites abduction/death was brilliant. Killuas personality had a deep change due to gon which was constantly expressed in narrator exposition as was gons. It was kinda lacking in like-ability and wasn’t very interesting with the whole episodes revolving around taking out pitous puppets and waiting for the attack. Other than those episodes being boring all the others I can say were pretty much good/amazing.
    It’s good, easily 8/10 imo.

I get he’s a naive kid and probably doesn’t understand that his father was a POS but I was just cringing at the fact that he wanted to be a hunter cause his father abandoned him to become one. That’s not someone to look up to. Like…At all. I know he wants to understand why being a hunter was more important than raising him. But some people have left their kids for no reason at all, so Ging probably would’ve left Gon regardless. So there was nothing to understand. Ging Quote on Quote; was a huge jerk. That’s it.

I get it aims to be unique but it forfeits literally so much of the hype it builds. Thematically, HXH is strong, but overhyped to oblivion. My biggest issues are I think the hunter association is too decentralized at this point to feel like they actually have any tangible impact on the world. I also think it ignored Leorio too much and as a huge fan, I prefer how Togashi handled the main characters in YYH. Lastly, the "secret" chest thing with Netero.. Dude.

    Seth’s “ambition” argument is fucking terrible. Togashi wanted Hunter X Hunter to be incredibly long. It’s unfair to compare it to finished works like Naruto. Also his arguments are just terrible. It’s logical to assume there would be Nen users at the island. And it’s even more obvious that people would like to train Gon and Killua because of their obviously insane potential at such a young age. Also, Hunter X Hunter takes place in a world where people are brutal and ruthless. Seeing a 12 year old boy with the courage to protect his friends against a serious threat stronger than him is extremely rare. Is Naruto defending Tsunade against Kabuto not heroic?
