Review of Hunter x Hunter
I just don't understand. Every time I see people talking about hunterxhunter, or "hxh", I only hear positives things. they talk about their two favorites arcs(which btw is york new and chimera ant arc), and the fleshed-out characters, and the well thought of the power system, and so on. While I see a clusterbomb of a series, that spares us no time to throw up. Whenever I say this to my friends, they try to protect their oh so beloved show with stupid excuses. There are 3 main things that the hxh fanbase loves to talk about, and that is, character development, the stupidnen power system, and their 2 favorites arc that they just won't shut up about!! firstly, the character development is too slow and sudden, trash and fake. It's like really bad actors in an average stereotypical movie. Secondly, the nen system is trash and doesn't take its principles seriously. people say that this system is perfect because of how fair and strategy-based it is. If this were to be true, I would at least be able to understand the hype about this show just a little, but it's not. In the chimera ant arc, We experience the difference of power, between the humans and the royal ants. if the battle system is supposed to be fair and strategy-based, why are the ants so strong? Netero literally said, that one pitou was almost too much for him. If this is true, then how is anyone supposed to beat the Ant king with strategy, if the ant King SERVANT was too much for the STRONGEST human to handle? If the author was going to make such a half-assed power system, he might as well have added some more stuff into the show. Thirdly, the two arcs that everyone is talking about are trash. let me start with the york new arc. you can tell how half-hearted and uncreative this arc is, by just looking at the title of the arc. It's literally new york but the words are switched. It's actually funny how accurate this describes this arc. The author just wanted to introduce a lot of characters at the same time, so the series didn't look as bland as did before. and oh boy, was that a bad decision. Not only that, but he made Kurapika the main focus in the arc. kurapika is the most uninteresting and bland character, a person has ever created. He is just a bad copy of the already bad character, Sasuke. Now, to the chimera ant arc. this arc is just too long and is filled with the boring narrator talking about some unimportant shit. not only that, I was forced to look at the horrible character development, of this too op character called meruim. And whenever an emotional moment was supposed to happen, everything just became gibberish. So the overall rating is trash, and this show is overrated.
