I think the fact that you're trying to argue what to call an arc says it all lol

Yes, right but so what? It's an arc that has a voyage. Continue your argument lol.

 

[XtrnlArdent]

Some men just want to watch the world burn.

 

[AllEyez]

Why are we arguing about the term 'voyage'?

I'm actually in the same boat, just as of the latest chapter. I finally feel like I'm becoming interested in the world of TPN, due to Shirai's world building as of late, and Demizu's amazing artwork which compliments that world.

Cause someone said HXH has a better start off to there voyage(post timeskip) than OP

Bigivel says it isnt a voyage(which he has made a good argument to prove his point).

Ah I see. Well I mean, I'd personally count the current arc in HxH as a voyage. A voyage can be described as a long journey by boat, can it not?

P.S. I'm not getting into an argument full of walls of text over a definition. I don't care that much.

 

[Bigivelfhq]

Has nothing to do with this argument.

Yep, because Don Quixote isn't a story, or is One Piece that isn't a story? Now I'm confused!

Are you speaking for yourself here? Because from what I've seen, not a lot of people are fans of Fishman Island. If you looked around, you would find that arcs with big hype battles and impactful moments are the ones that people like the most. Ennies Lobby, Marineford, Alabasta, etc.

What is the arc with the biggest average of manga sales? OH, It is Fishman Island. And what arc kept a good TV rating? OH, it is Fishman Island.
Just because some people don't appreciate adventure nor "voyages", drama, comedy and other stuff, in just are limited with the "Villain was weak" and "Big hype battles", doesn't mean that most people are like this.

So the Sea Train is a Voyage, right? And Krilling-Gohan-Bulma and Goku going to Namek as well? Right, Right?

While they are on a Journey, the arc is not about the Journey. How is that hard to grasp? Can't you see the difference between the travel to Fishman Island and the experience they got there, with the people in the Whale ship, battling for the place as King? What about that battle as anything to do with the Journey?

Is Battle Royale also a Voyage? Ah, no, it misses the boat. They aren't in a Boat but in an Island so it doesn't count. But not for that little detail I would totally compare it with Fishman Island Arc. And how atypical and how bette as a voyage arc it is in comparison.

Oh, you're such a smart boy. You're not!

Is not about calling the arc a Voyage. But what that implicates. It implicates the comparison with One Piece Arcs(this was the main point of the conversation), and also that a lot of arcs of other mangas and even other arcs in those manga are comparable by the label of the Voyage.

Gonna go ahead and speak a Galaxy Gangs serialization into existence for next batch. Throw Golem Hearts in there while I'm at it.

I'm expecting Iwamoto...

 

[Leoat12]

I don't know what happened with Iwamoto, really... It is a complete mystery because Magico was not short, it last more than a year, half ot the magazine now is made of authors who had excruciatingly bad first series and then returned to a success. Why are they not giving Iwamoto another chance? His stories are so bad that are not worth trying? It is the only explanation.

Golem hearts aside, galaxy gangs needs a huge amount of refinement in order to not only succeed but also distinguish itself from Reborn. The characters also need more quirks, though granted this is a oneshot so there might not be enough space to show all of them. Its still a wonder why the mangaka decided to run Ole Golazo instead of this.

 

[G_I_A]

Do we even have examples of mangakas that published one shots, serialized completely different series then came back with the serialization of the one shot?

I never heard of that... Aren't you guys just delusional about that?

Maybe Bamba the MAN was too much.

He seemed to be a big fan of football judging by his author comments. I hope he does return with a battle shounen though, Galaxy Gangs or not.

 

[Scruffy8642]

Am I the only one who's not feeling this HxH arc? I'm all for for more Kurapika, but I just don't care, get to the Dark Continent already. The stuff before the boat and Chrollo vs Hisoka were great, but all this prince nonsense just came about out of nowhere and isn't where my interests in the series lie. So many people seem to be loving it, and here I am having the force myself to read the new chapters.

Eh, I'm loving it. The fact that the "arc plot" is seemingly unconnected to the past events is classic Hunter x Hunter anyway. Every arc feels dramatically different from the one before it. And I think it's still very well written and compelling. Even though One Piece is killing it lately, I still get more excited to read Hunter x Hunter each week.

I'm not even sure they'll get to the dark continent. We're maybe two days into a two month voyage and all of Kurapika's interests are on the boat: eyeballs, spiders, employment. This slow burn is going to payoff in a violent way. I'd be more excited if there weren't a hiatus lurking around the corner.

I blocked your speaking, no Galaxy Gangs 4 you!

on a serious note, I reckon last year GFC winner will be one of the new series, unless another Poro/Toteku situation happens

 

[jagman1x3]

I want Toteku to be the next "author was just waiting a bit before starting it to make it less likely he'll get 10-weeked" series, I really liked the oneshot for some reason.

Toteku was a better concept than Puro, which was bottom of Shounen Champion quality. He just didn't have the imagination to make a compelling world, which Toteku would've needed to thrive. Hopefully he comes back with confidence.

 

[razerxs]

I actually thought Poro had the best pilot chapter of the batch. I figured it'd be a Angel Densetsu ripoff with his attitude and the bullies hanging around. Instead he just kept adding characters and doing cliche gags. It was such a waste.
