  • There has been a lot of disappointing news, or lack thereof about Hunter X Hunter these past few months. So let's have a change of pace and talk about the GOOD things about Hunter X Hunter, Yu Yu Hakusho, and why Togashi is the best.

      Hisoka doesn't really do anything truly villainous. By definition, he is not a villain. That man is just a buff weirdo who likes to fight strong people. A villain is Meruem, the Phantom Troupe, etc. Hisoka has only killed minor characters with no relevance to plot, he has yet to kill someone of real importance for is own personal gain, if you don't count Gotoh. At the same time, I'm not saying he's a good guy. But if he you look at his feats, his thoughts, and personality. He's not a villain, just evil.

      The Ending of Aot never destroyed Eren’s character he did what he thought was best for Eldia but was self aware that any man who kills billions of innocents can’t have any sort of redemption. In the last chapter his rant to Armin was just him getting all his feelings off his chest and we knew since the rumbling started that Eren gave up on his childhood dreams after touching Historia. Eren was never some cold hearted stoic badass who had his heart behind ever action that’s just what the fan base thought he had become over the time skip. He is an emotional dimwit and has always been one. End of series Eren and beginning of series Eren is the same person just one lost hope and gave up on the dreams that originally kept he moving forward. Isayama even stated in an interview back when season 2 was airing that Eren’s voice actor heavily influenced his writing because of how his voice sounded confident and loud but always had a shakiness to it as if he was bluffing or full of himself.

      Oda has been writing one piece non stop for 20+ years and his work is considered by many one of the best stories of all time, not only in japan.
      Now imagine if Oda had put one piece to hiatus every now and then...
      I think one piece is better than hxh as is, but if oda had the time to perfect his work like Togashi there is no way people would consider hxh better, of course, in my opinion, but if you have hiatuses of 3~8 years to plan your story i wouldnt consider you a genius...

      While I can agree with this sentiment for the 5 - 10 villains that are great there are 20-25 not as good villains because of the sheer amount of villains he uses so to be fair his track record would look like at lowest 5/30 great villains and at highest 10/30 and I feel like there are authors that introduce good not necessarily great villains and introduce less villains and would have technically a better track record as track records imply numbers while I’ll agree the togashi villains are the highest of echelons some of his weaker villains are pretty low tier examples being some of the lesser cimera ant commanders such as cheetor (the only real one I can remember that’s how bad they are and one noted they are) if we are talking antagonists I also think the territorial antagonists that become allies def are very low tier. I’m not saying that he’s a bad writer in fact I think some of his villains are some of the best in manga or at the very least up there but with track records you have to take into account the lesser villains too and togashi has a butt load of them

As for looking at them independently of their manga, meaning looking at them as anime vs “anime adaptations” I still like HxH more, with characters, world building and nen power system.

      @@Steelersrg8 I've read succession war and dark continent and I've found the togashi includes far too many words. I believe togashi would've been better as a light novel writer

    Before I really hate it when I see the " hiatus " on the chapter's/news I'd be pissed on Togashi, after what has transpired with Miura, Rest in peace,
    I am totally fine him having a hiatus he still human especially his health condition and to be with his family. Hope he lives longer
