I've just finished the '99 anime and gotten up to date on the manga and I'm sorry. You were right. Hunter x Hunter is the ascended god king of Shounen, it's so good it surpasses Shounen to be one of the best worlds of all time in all mediums. No other Shounen can compare, they're rags compared to Hunter x Hunter.
Apologize after you've watched '11 instead of being manipulated into watching a filler-ridden butchery of the manga by "old=good" mouthbreathers on Yea Forums.
Michael Bailey
Yes, it's the best. Unfortunately, like almost all anime with the exception of Dragon Ball (because if you throw something at the wall 1000 times it will stick at least a couple of times) there are no good games.
Liam Nelson
'11 is cheap looking trash, I refuse to watch it
Old IS always better
Luke Turner
Yeah also this, '11 is infinitely better than '99 (which is also still good and transcends a lot of other shounen).
Kevin Sanders
HxH is too kino for vidya, even its current arc is more about psychological warfare than fighting.
Josiah King
The manga itself looks atrocious because Togashi's talent is for writing not drawing, so clearly you have no problem with cheap looking trash. Form your own coherent opinion you robot. '11 is the objectively superior adaptation in all aspects except for a select few scenes in Yorknew which is all '99fags cling to to support their cause.
Jaxson Taylor
>No other Shounen can compare Psyren could, then it got fucking cancelled because of nips having shit taste.
>I >Are there any good Hunter x Hunter video games? Haha, no. But maybe if you buy the next JRPG adaptation of the great and almighty FAIRY TAIL by Gust, you might get a Hunter X Hunter game next. Maybe.
Why are you guys on a site that literally ends in chan if you don't like anime?
Chase Perez
I saw both and the old show is better
Jacob Cruz
You can like anime but not liking HxH, nigger
Jaxon Lee
I actually like the older series more because I enjoy the more somber and melancholy tone. But yeah 99 hxh< 11 hxh
Michael Mitchell
The first part of Naruto copies the Hunter Exam directly. Like even Itachi is just stolen.
William Green
not that guy but I liked the old show better brotherhood got boring fast I liked the sailor moon anime better than the SOULLESS original manga too
Jordan Phillips
The problem is that HxH's strengths aren't easily adaptable to a game format, it's built on constant creative and unique turns, and is focused on storytelling rather than powersets and mindless battles. Sure you could dilute everyone's powers into standard video game fare mechanics, but at that point you're just reskinning existing games rather than making a game faithful to the HxH spirit. You could have e.g. Morel as a character who uses his pipe as a melee weapon and has a Deep Purple as an assist special attack, but what made people like Morel are the creative ways he solves situations, like beating Cheetu and Leol, which aren't predictable enough to be programmed into dynamic mechanics, and if they were to be scripted then why even bother making a game when it could be a manga/anime spinoff or new story.
People see HxH classified as shonen and immediately assume it's similar to all other shonen and that it should be like all other shonen, when what makes HxH so good is all the ways it's not a typical shonen. Another way I see this manifest is through people who are bored of the Boat Arc and think it's filler in the way of the end goal which is a promised Dark Continent arc, when the Boat Arc is typical HxH storytelling and is supposed to be more of the "meat"/core of the series, with the Dark Continent only there to string you along and make you keep reading/watching like Ging was until he was "resolved". HxH was never about mindlessly fighting mindless monsters, and its culmination probably won't be either. Good thing Togashi will never finish it so we'll never know for sure.
>aren't easily adaptable to a game format, Wrong, you can make a fucking entire rpg around it. World is already established with its mechanics and how things work. You don't have to use the manga's plot for a game. Just create your own character, go do the hunter's exam, then go on adventuring. That shit is easy to make, but as we know, nips aren't capable of doing that.
Liam Foster
and it does it better
Luke Thomas
nice fallacy >World is already established with its mechanics and how things work. I know almost fucking nothing about the world.
Michael Wilson
Wait a second... this isn't video games!
Henry Harris
>i WE*
Easton Richardson
>I know almost fucking nothing about the world. Then read the manga.
Eli Myers
There is literally nothing particularly exciting or interesting about HxH's world or mechanics on their own, they gain meaning when Togashi writes them and gives them meaning. The powers are "literally anything", the world is "literally whatever is necessary", the villains are "whatever Togashi wants". With how arbitrary and undefined everything is, you could easily make the case for an unrelated series like Dragon Ball being set in the same world and there would be almost no story conflicts.
Camden Russell
don't try to reason with OP or anyone else on this board, they're all a bunch of contrarian faggots just for the sake of being contrarian faggots
Sebastian Morgan
Did you ever stop to think maybe the popular thing ISN'T good? Maybe the old thing really is better?
Not all the time, but most of the time it's true.
Josiah Rodriguez
I always thought that Yea Forums & Yea Forums hated each other? Why is there an anime thread in Yea Forums? Strange times I guess.
Chase Morris
>11 >muh accurate adaption
Noah Young
>dude, it gets better after 200 chapters, lmao yeah, no, fuck that
Wyatt Gray
Based and true, I'd literally trade all other series just to have more hxh
Evan Myers
HXH fags are so fucking insufferable.
Jose Bennett
>I always thought that Yea Forums & Yea Forums hated each other? Crawl back into your mothers womb, you fucking fetus
Andrew Reed
Did you ever stop to think maybe the popular thing IS good? Maybe the old thing really is worse?
Not all the time, but most of the time it's true.
Gabriel Walker
Yorknew is better in 99 but everything is better in 2011 except for the artstyle.
Jaxson Mitchell
Hunter X Hunter isn't one such case, however.
Jayden Adams
I got up to the characters just learning about that nen or whatever in that battle tower in the '11 anime. When does this get good?
Eli Walker
Before that and after that. Each arc is very distinct. Yorknew City is the next arc and it's got a lot more intrigue and introduces some interesting new characters. Following that is a great adventure arc, followed by a conflict with nature turned on its head, then a training arc, then a bunch of madcap fighting with crazy rules.
Elijah Smith
O-posting was my favorite thing to come out from that debacle.
Luke Edwards
FPBP
Austin Harris
>Did you ever stop to think maybe the popular thing IS good? Yes, and then I compare it to the old thing and 99 times out of 100 the new thing is trash.
I know you're a room temperature iq, limp wristed faggot but "lots of people like it = it's good" is NEVER true.
Dominic Thomas
Literally die Fake hunterchad
Caleb Gutierrez
>I-It’s a deconstruction of the Yea Forums sings genre!!
Nolan Morgan
You just outed yourself as a contrarian. The 2011 series is what the 99 series wanted to be but couldn't due to animation and budget limitations and being forced to use filler to not pass the manga. You might prefer the older style animation but it looked like it did not out of choice but out of necessity. The newer adaptation is a truer adaptation, the animation is almost always superior, the voice acting is better and the story is more streamlined.
Charles Perez
>is NEVER true But that's wrong. That's definitively wrong. If it wasn't good, lots of people wouldn't like it. What you're talking about is called "Personal preference" and "contrarian".
Chase Thomas
>contrarian! contrarian! Popularity never correlates with quality. It's not a measure of how good something is. I'm not a contrarian, you're just a retard in the company of retards.
Isaiah Foster
>If it wasn't good, lots of people wouldn't like it Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, Avengers, Star Wars etc.
Shut the fuck up you fucking sheep.
Nathan Jenkins
Yeah it's exactly why I wasn't too keen on the Jojo games we got. Most Jojo fights were about how creatively they used they're stands to get out of a shit situation. There were a few times where they just punched their way out but a lot of times they just ran for their lives. HXH was similar. You can just apply typical fighting game rules to a few of the characters but most of them have abilities beyond a punch or a sword.
Gavin Rogers
I like how you didn't address anything else he said.
Caleb Young
why did you watch 99 instead of 2011 you absolute retard
Colton Anderson
fuck yeah, Psyren was great and cancelled far too soon
Benjamin Cook
Unironically why would anyone would want to watch virgin '99 version instead of chad 20011 one?
Aaron Smith
Because it's not even worth a response
Matthew Price
2011>1999 because 2011 has one of the greatest stories told in the entire anime and manga medium
It isn't. Its boring as shit painfully slowpaced and the villain is a child turned socialist. Ends with 2 asspulls and then followed by an arc with 2 asspulls just to revert one asspull. The other asspull introduces something that makes no sense to the world and is quickly ignored. Its a dogshit arc and anyone singing any praise of this dogshit series should be taken out back and shot.
>shitty DBZ clone arc >better than hunter exams, yorkshin or greed island peak shit taste
Nicholas Brown
yorkshin is the only acceptable arc in this whole manga the others you mentioned are also shit especially isekai training arc
Nathaniel Thompson
HxH autismos are unironically the MLPfags of this age. Kill yourselves.
Jose Hughes
>Guy punches air for a whole year >Somehow ends up the world's strongest nen user and leader of some organization How does this make sense
Adam Powell
Well at least you acknowledge it now.
You are forgiv-
Nevermind. You're a filthy fucking casual who has no idea what they're missing. I don't even care about spoiling anything for you because you're such a fucking idiot.
Last quarter of chimera ant arc deadass most REAL SHIT I've ever seen
GOT DAYUM YOU JUST FUCKED UP
that feeling but then the next scene escalated it to the Fucking moon.
Leo Moore
>2011 >Looking better >Having better animation Kek, 2011 looks flat as fuck like painted on paint with zero effort and the animation and direction is non existant as 90% of the time they just use shitty close ups. All the animation effort is put into fights and they are full of cuts, speedlines, one colored back grounds etc. Literally zoomer tier adaptation for newfags in anime who don't know any better.
Jonathan Morales
Why pick 99 over 2011? >Amazing Direction >Beautiful landscapes >Amazing framing >Norio FUCKING Matsumoto >AESTHETICS >Actual Cinematography >Kino OST
2011 hardly has any artistic direction what's so ever. It's bland 1:1 adaptation of the manga.
Can’t handle the truth, you dumb motherless whore?
Jordan Johnson
Jesus fuck the latest arc is pure shit. Literally 5 new characters are added every chapter probably just to be killed by meaningless bullshit. I miss comfy gon killua adventures
Eli Price
I swear to God you faggots are the anime equivalent of Rick and Morty or the my little pony retards. Go jerk off about your favorite children's cartoon somewhere no one gives a shit
Brandon Hill
learn what an asspull is before you type dumb sperg
Dominic Garcia
this is an anime website fuck off
Benjamin Powell
That looks like shit
Jaxon Peterson
Everything looks like shit
Josiah Ross
Yea Forums and Yea Forums had a tsundere relationship back in the day moron, fucking kill yourself and reincarnate 15 years ago
Aaron Flores
Wrong board faggot, if we gave a damn about your stupid children's cartoon we'd be in Yea Forums
The fact that you ass eaters have to post in Yea Forums really shows how much of a basic bitch attention whore you are
Leo Young
>Wrong board faggot This is an anime video game board, non-anime related video games are not welcome. Take your western trash elsewhere.
Luis Anderson
>We
You and who else?
Gavin Reed
Until HxH gets a game prompty fuck off
Ethan Rivera
Kind of wish Togashi didn't head to the CA Ant Arc so fast
Nothing that you listed outside of Alluka is an asspull. Pay attention instead of speedreading and stop going in DBZ threads.
Andrew Moore
I watched the 2011 anime and loved everything up until the chimera ant arc. After a few episodes I was like ok the gimmick is getting old why do I care about this. Then I looked it up and saw that it was a huge portion of the rest of the show. I finished it and still fucking hate that part so much.
Luke Price
HxH is overrated as fuck. Finished the anime recently and my god, this author doesnt know what he's doing with this series. Yuyu Hakusho is truly superior.
Christian Ortiz
I only like it up until the end of greed island. the chimera ant arc is just garbage and honestly I don't care what happens after that point.
Luke Hill
>DBS niggers ruined Yea Forums >now they want to further ruin Yea Forums truly the worst of the worst
YYH is good but overrated. Every single big victory is a MUH FEEEELS asspull where they get stronger cuz they thought someone died but nope it was pretend. Everything after dark tournament was trash. OMG I SAW THIS VHS AND NOW I HATE PEOPLE get over it Yusuke being half demon was stupid, I only give them credit for foreshadowing this from the very start. It was why they kept calling him a "special case" and never explaining it, had nothing to do with him "dying unexpectedly" they just thought he would be useful so they gave him another shot.

Oliver Lopez
well done mods, for once you did good and moved this hit from Yea Forums to Yea Forums WHERE IT BELONGS
>Somehow ends up the world's strongest nen user But he wasn't, he said multiple times that there were people in the world more skilled at nen than him he was just very specialized in one area which made him nearly untouchable.
Joshua Anderson
He's the guy Bruce Lee fears
Jack Gomez
>There is literally nothing particularly exciting or interesting about HxH's world or mechanics on their own I would disagree, in this world we have a plethora of fantasy creatures, a setting steeped in the criminal elements and corruption on the highest levels as politics casually cover up their conspiracies with dirty bombs, an eccentric group of professionals all gifted with special abilities and most driven to pursue something to the excess of obsession, and a magic system that affords a lot of flexibility while having a few stated upper limits and reflecting the personalities and mindset of a character.
>The powers are "literally anything", the world is "literally whatever is necessary", the villains are "whatever Togashi wants". That's true for any story. It's all really arbitrary at the end of the day and it's up to the writer to create the illusion of coherency and consistency.
> you could easily make the case for an unrelated series like Dragon Ball being set in the same world and there would be almost no story conflicts. That doesn't really work as well because it would be a huge stretch at best to assume the kinds of powerlevels and feats in DB translate to HxH without completely breaking the setting. The actual expy for something like Cell is at the end of the day a far weaker character than even characters in DB who were blowing up mountain ranges and moons while Mereum could at best manage a mountaintop. People often make the case for how Nen could adapt a lot of different powers from other series but there's the obvious problems with matching the scale
