Discussion Hiatus X Hiatus

[Totsch]

Re: Hiatus

Best solution for me was to just move on from this manga altogether. I'm not saying I won't read it if it comes out, but I removed my thinking of it being in the top of my list. The manga started in 1998. That's 13 years (676 weeks minimum when counting March 1998 to March 2011) and only 310 chapters to show for it. It'd be one thing if it were larger chapters, but this was a weekly shounen manga.

The man is good at what he does, but is clearly busy. Since that's the case, I had to look at it realistically and just left it alone. The hiatus is now more expected than chapter releases, so no point in stressing over it.

Re: Hiatus

HxH isn't going to continue for another year or so based on what's happening in Japan. With the entire nuclear disaster that's still going on, other manga with story lines involving nuclear matter has been put on hiatus / storyline forcibly changed.

I doubt it's going to be any different for HxH.

On a side note, I just realized that Berserk has more chapters published than HxH.

Re: Hiatus

maybe togashi worked at his drawing style even i like it could be a little bit better
What I really love at most at hunter x hunter drawing are the emotion

btw i think there will be just 1 hunter who just be able to beat the king Gin Freecs maybe he finishs the king and then dissappears again ,there while gon is recovering so he couldnt see him
this would make for me sense

The whole nuclear bomb thing was a one chapter thing. I would think that matter is resolved. Even then the rose was not specifically said to be a nuclear bomb.

Anyways, the earthquake is not even remotely a good excuse for this manga to not continue. If it does not then it will be for whatever reason it did not go on before, not because of the earthquake.

Re: Hiatus

i think best solution is to hope the mangaka run out of money so he has to go back to work?

Re: Hiatus

^ unfortunately, since he got gazillions of cash from yuyu, and married a mangaka as rich as him, i don't think that can happen.

some artists care about the essence of Arts, some are just regular employees. togashi couldn't care less about his readers, most of the time, hiatuses were because of console RPGs getting retail.

Re: Hiatus

Even if it comes back, will it be as good as before?

I doubt it. The chimera arc is a mistake itself. A power up that high leaves very little scope for interesting development in the future. Its sad cos this manga had the potential to compete with the big 3.

Oh, I also think that. I liked it at first...But it somehow went too far. TOO FAR.

I somehow can understand you but seriously the chimera arc isn't a complete mistake. But it leaves a bitter taste compared to the previous arcs in my opinion. Well if Togashi puts some efforts into it then he could definetly make that power up an excuse to let Leorio (who aims to become a Nen doctor) into the main storyline again. But the fact that he didn't write off the King after he got nuked at point blank range and even made him more powerful then at the beginning..... to be honest only Togahsi knows how to resolve this.

Its pretty obvious the elder wasn't the strongest person/human, it was hinted countless times, and the mention of silent type hunters whom don't interact with other much leaves the the option of having plenty of people who could be stronger. Meaning, there is still plenty room for growth if the young cast is intended to become the strongest.

Re: Hiatus

The chimera arc is a mistake mainly because it is been in hiatus for over this past few years... If the chimera arc is drawn weekly like the OP,Naruto, Bleach I doubt you can say it is a mistake... The hiatus makes us believe that this arc is a mistake ^^..

Re: Hiatus

The first time i read an article about him going on hiatus was about his illnes or generally his health. I felt sorry for him, but as someone else here said: I had to erase HxH from my thoughts because i endured 2 hiatus(es?) before. Okay in other, more simple words, i thought everyday about HxH and was happy when it returns, but got even more desperate when he went on Hiatus after his normal work amount of 10 Chaps.
Now i only read my all-time favorites like Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Fairy Tail, Claymore(sometimes) and my new favorite Toriko, which i startet to read 2009/2010. It's kinda taking HxH place., Toriko is something like a HxHhunter too, is it just me or are the two mangas similar in a few ways?

Re: Hiatus

Some crazy muscled bodies, "strange"^^ characters, a world with odd monsters and enemies. They certainly have something in common.

I read about him being ill too some years back, but with his history of breaks, it may be just an excuse from Shueisha. He's free to draw how much he ever wants and can easily live of his past works/wife. I would love to see it continued, an assistent did post that it would come back this fall, but deleted it afterwards. Hope is all I got left for the series.

Re: Hiatus

Meh, I don't bite Toriko. I'm all up with strange characters, but what really got me into HxH was Nen and how complex and simple is in the same time. A system that beats any other manga power system.

Odd monsters and enemies it's something I'm actually seeing more and more often.

Yes, thats a good point, showing Kurapica and Leorio's growth would be important aspects, but I doubt if even togashi could resolve the current arc. If he does, he is amazing.

Netero was the strongest Nen user over the past 50 years. Thats what was said about him. The only people comparable would be the Zoldycks, Gons dad and members of the spider.

Hunter x Hunter is about the chase, and the trail Gin set for Gon. After showing Netero die to the King chimera, the only thing that remains is finding Gin, I know that would be interesting, but it would be better to show surpass other HxH with each arc rather than one.

No, I think the arc is a mistake. It went on too long, togashi went overboard with the power ups.

Spoiler

Its like naruto going from chuunin exams to beating pein, in my opinion atleast.

Re: Hiatus

Netero is not the strongest nen user in the last 50 years, he was the strongest until 50 years ago from what I recall. In his prime he probably was the strongest in history but I would think there are people stronger than him due to youth alone.

The chimera ant arc is not bad, it is just too insanely dragged out. It's like bleach was made into a monthly manga without increasing the length of the chapters.... Arc is pretty good IMO, not necessarily the best but it is definitely worth it. Really wish the author would give us fans a minute of his time to continue this awesome manga though, I really want to see what happens to gon after using this insane power and to see how mereum finally gets defeated (which seems impossible right now).

Re: Hiatus

Since you're talking about Bleach: The Mangaka will pull a Ginjou Fullbring on Gon. This or the Manga simply Ends after this Arc of "endlessness"
Nah i think everyone has to look from another point of view. Hisoka, where the fuck is he, he who has lust for battle like no other person? And many other important Chars didn't show up as if they're not caring for their lives xD It's difficult to predict an arc or anything in a Manga which spits out 10chaps a year or two O_o Maybe this man has a brilliant story in mind and we all gonna be mindfucked like in LOST. Or he simply stopped caring about his manga.

About Netero-sama, i cleary am of the opinion that the so-called "silent-type" Hunters or rather Underground Hunters are indeed stronger than Netero-sama, i actually think they're a match for Gon's Dad and that gons dad stands above the most, if not all, Hunters. But that would make the HxH universe interesting and ultimatively larger, which isn't in the Mangaka's sense. coz in this case he would have to draw another 3-5 Years like Oda, but i'm loosing hope for HxH.

I really hope the Mangaka is just swimming in his pool full of money instead of being deathly ill and suffering under the fact to never be able to end or continue his Manga HxH.

I don't know anymore, i just don't know it anymore :/ Let's hope for the best and except the worst.

Re: Hiatus

If He only hires 3 artist to work on the art while He just writes the plot. If only.

At this point I couldn't care less about him drawing it (Aside the fact that its latest draws are lacking) and instead I'm dying to know why He pulled out such strength on Gon and what this will mean on the future plotline.

 

[~Andrew~]

Re: Hiatus

Okay, here's what we know.
Gon's goal was forcing Pitou to heal Kaito. And when Pitou told Gon that Kaito's long gone, his Goal changed to ultimatively take Revenge on Pitou >NO MATTER WHAT< (Common Sense. I mean come on, even Pitou was fucking scared of Gon's killing Intend, this Tiger-thingy, rember?).

So here we are, these are the informations provided to us. Now, Gon would've instantly lost to Pitou as he were, so he powered himself up to the very extreme Limits and therefore his "endless" Potential as a Shounen-Manga-Protagonist were gone. And since it's a Shounen, he will get his Powers back through a veeeery dangerous Methode, or something like that... look at Bleach for the most up to date Example.

@Uriel: I assume you knew all of this, because I only wanted to clarifying things. So tell me what exactly is bugging you about this? We got a Reason for the Power-Up, we got one, of the Strongest Enemies yet, down and in the Future he will (as said a dozen times) somehow obtain his Powers back, the only thing I'm wondering about is wether he will Obtain his Powers within this Arc or in the next (if there will be one).
There are so many other things that are bugging me, though Gon's Maturing is one of these things.

-We got the Kings Brother
-We got the probably strong Insect-Dealer. He's hinted to be some special Guy, too. He was under the first handful Chimeras which went on his own without caring for the Queen or the King.
-We got the hinted stronger than Netero Hunters walking the Underground.
-We got Gon's Dad.
-We got a list of loose ends which are certainly more Important for the Future.

They can't possibly watch the Earth/humanity crumble.

Or is it Gon's future Plotline alone that you are concerned about?


I guess i Re-Read this Manga again, this Arc is really something xD

Re: Hiatus

I don't know, at least for certain. Nen prices can be a bit extreme. See Kurapika when He intended so much power it was at the cost of his life. So for me the biggest doubt is that: The price to pay.

The rest doesn't bug me still, because they can be dragged as it's needed and learn about them when it's plot-wise. Right now I'm just focusing on the enormous hanging point that Togashi left.
