Why is it so common among Whisper x Whisper fans to think that good writing boils down to having a lot of references? Togashi is a very skilled man, don't reduce his work to the trivia he read up on wikipedia beforehand.

Cringe

Intertextuality =/= references, brainlet. Perhaps if you spent less time regurgitating memes and more reading you would kjow of the literary concepts required to fully understand HxH.

Attached: 1543322811082.png (388x360, 128K)

I am studying literature and philosophy. I understand most of that jazz without someone pointing it out to me. Doesn't change the fact that most of this stuff is surface level referencing, that people buy into to feel intellectual. Last time I asked about this, some retard try to sell me on the bullshit that Komugi is a fulfillment of the Gretchen-Motiv. Again, I enjoy HxH, but there is no need to feel this damn insecure about reading a manga that goes a bit deeper below the surface than your average battle shounen.

I did a 4-year BA in philosophy. Never went in Hunter threads on Yea Forums because I didn't want to spoil myself on the series. A friend of mine convinced me to read it and during the Chimera arc I kept telling him how much it reminded me of Hegel's theory of consciousness. Lo and behold I come to discuss HxH on Yea Forums and there's a running consensus about Hegel being relevant to the themes. It was curious because someone other than me must have picked up on what I was seeing in it. I'm not saying the show is "on par with" Hegel's writing, just that it's strongly reminiscent of it and inspired by it and Kierkegaard, among others. Not to mention the themes of nuclear weaponry, phagogenesis, evolution, war, classism, human nature on a fundamental level, unconditional love, and more. But yeah there's a lot of philosophical nuance in the story, which is why HxH is considered one of the deepest works the medium has seen.

Yeah, is basically not your braindead shonen. It's very different. And this somehow rape Yea Forums butthole and make them so fucking mad.

Yeah, the Hegel thing is certainly there. But the fuck kind of statement is HxH making about "evolution" that isn't being made by fucking Dragonball Z? What does one get out of HxH when asking what it says about nukes? How does it interweave a theme of "unconditional love" into its story that is in any way special or different from other run of the mill shounen manga?
Again, Togashi certainly can write. He knows how to keep plot threads going that seem pointless only to have them come full circle and become the most relevant and then have a conclusive and whole end. But stuff like that is cast aside when talking about HxH because people want to throw in more buzzwords about stuff that sounds intellectual and sophisticated.

People are mad at HxHfags because a group of dedicated shitposters has been shitting up a bunch of threads in their name for a few years now.

>which is why HxH is considered one of the deepest works the medium has seen
by who? And by medium you mean manga as a whole? Because just Pluto alone mogs the fuck out of HxH on the "deep" aspect.
What makes us mad isn't the story, it's the huntards who shit up every thread on the board by sniffing their own farts. I literally cannot think of a worse fanbase on Yea Forums right now. I myself enjoy hxh a lot and think it develop its themes way better than other battle shounen butI never want to associate myself with the Yea Forums fanbase.

>half of the third panel is verbal information
Is this the power of the hunterchads?

So the fedora version of Naruto, got it.

This. HxH seems like a different series but it really gets annoying seeing people shill it at every opportunity and act like it's the best piece of literature since Shakespeare

>Oppenheimer = Rose Bomb
So any bomb in media is a reference to Oppenheimer?

>While the series as a whole has received widespread praise,[134][135] the Chimera Ant arc in particular has been often singled out. In addition to being met with rave reviews, the arc has generated considerable discussion and analysis of its themes, symbols, characters and structure throughout and in the aftermath of its run. The arc is commonly viewed as a deconstruction of sh?nen and action anime;[136][137] other readings have focused on supposed symbolic parallels with Buddhism[138][139] and nuclear war. Nick Creamer compared the arc to a “war drama”. In a lengthy essay, Creamer read the arc as a study of, and in the end a simultaneous critique and defense of human nature.[140]

>Much of the writing surrounding the arc focuses on its villain, the Chimera Ant King. Largely echoing Creamer’s conclusion, Luke Halliday, in an examination of the character, describes his story as “an exploration into what it means to be human.”[141] In the piece, Halliday describes the King's development as “one of the most interesting and captivating in anime . . . [the King's] journey is simply unforgettable” and states his own belief that the arc “will go down as one of the greatest stories told in anime”.
