Literal manchild. Are you hxhfags like this? Yikes

I have never heard of a high school that discussed Nietzche. Stop making shit up.
Noah Adams
Ah, I see you're American.

based and nenpilled
cringe and quirkpilled
Oliver Richardson
This idea is used in tons of shit, HxH isn't profound for using it, in fact Togashi probably got the inspiration from some other media where it was mentioned rather than Nietzsche himself
Angel Myers
Rude. Nietzsche's work is very valuable and respected among scholars. It's just that he's very quotable and lends himself well to being mis-read and memefied by teenagers and/or nazis.
William Wilson
Eli Jenkins

>Are you hxhfags like this?
Yes sadly. They're a few fedora retards who shit up every single shounen thread to feel like their shitty series isn't irrelevant crap.
Mason Hill
Dude did it to himself.
His whole "philosophiling with a hammer" schtick made all his work extremely memeable.
Hell his magnum opus had a whole section comprised entirely of only aphorisms.
Aiden James
The absolute state of american education
Lincoln Robinson
You aren't actually discussing Nietzche though.
This. Nietzche is an excellent philosopher not your personal quotemaker.
Thomas Davis
I really like how Netero and Gon parallel each other while representing malice and self-destructiveness of human race
Jordan Green
Kino.
William Torres

>"lmao look at my philosophy!"
Yuyu Hakusho was his best work.
Noah Perez
That's true. Another thing is that the surface-level reading of his work is very appealing and lends itself well to modern myth: "dude just be ur own marster! cr8 your own values! be urself". It's perfect for every teen/young adult who thinks that he's very smart and not like everyone else.
Connor Jackson
What about it was monstrous? Pitou wasn't redeemed. If Gon was bad for getting revenge on a killer, what makes Kurapika just?
The thing is, the quote doesn't even fit here. Gon killed the murderous follower of a murderer, the latter was still talking about using people as cattle until he got nuked.

YYH was held back because Jump wouldn't let Togashi do what we wanted to do
>It saddens me to say this, but I had explored every possible direction for the YYH characters that I could in the context of a professional publication. All I could do at this point was to start deconstructing the characters, or go on repeating the same storylines over and over until the readers got bored. My attempts to deconstruct the characters were, of course, turned down by Jump. I didn't have the strength, physically and mentally, to keep doing the same thing over and over.
Level E and Hunter x Hunter are masterpieces.

This really is the Rick and Morty of anime, isn't it?

Rick and Morty is at least consistent compared to this piece of shit.

Man how do you fucking move from this masterpiece to the snoozefest that is Succession War?
What the fuck Togashi.
Parker Flores
Daily reminder that people were saying that Chimera Ant arc was a snoozefest too at time of publishing
Jaxson Brooks
Is there a good scene for Seneca the Younger's quote on dying well?
"The present letter is written to you with this in mind as if death were about to call me away in the very act of writing. I am ready to depart, and I shall enjoy life just because I am not over-anxious as to the future date of my departure. Before I became old I tried to live well; now that I am old, I shall try to die well; but dying well means dying gladly. See to it that you never do anything unwillingly."
