Re: Hunter x Hunter

where does everyone read this stuff? the only thing we know is that he is sick or at least too sick to draw hunter x hunter but not sick enough for a tribute thing, so i doubt he has cancer.

I read in MH and the post seemed to me serious.

Re: Hunter x Hunter

I also stopped reading HxH a while back. The anime was great. Hope it ends where it was though, because it'd be a perfect ending (unless you read the manga that is...) Not to fond of the ant saga. The drawing is not so bad (well yes it is but I can put up with it since the mangaka is ill)... as are the complications to the abilities all the ants and weird animals have. Kind of took me out of the whole thing.

I guess I might start reading it again tho. And it is pretty bold of you guys to put Togashi down when he's ill. We all know the animations bad, but he can't help it. It seems pretty impossible for him to draw up good illustrations quickly in his condition.

As for the breaks? Don't really mind them. Too much other manga out for me to be stuck on one that's on stanby. And any Vagabond fan will tell you, you haven't met lazy until you've seen Inoue Takehiko (lmao jk, he's one of my favorite artists but his breaks are pretty annoying). Hmmm... maybe I'm not kidding. Anyways, I think I'm going to catch up on good ol' HxH so when it comes back I'll be ready.

in japan, they are very evasive about illness ... "sick" can mean anything from cold to cancer, he didn't released anything since early february, and the comments on each cover of published'n'redrawn volumes are very ... "i can't no more" "i gave all i had on this volume" "i believed i will never see the end" etc.

:/

I know. I have heard the stuff on what it means to be sick in japan, but you can't just assume that he has cancer or aids or something like that. He may have those, but i doubt he would considering the work he has managed to do over the past few years. I gather that years of no assistants have finally taken their toll on him and he finally just broke some how. In any case, my point is that he is "sick". Lets not just jump to conclusions when that is the only information anyone outside of the shueisha corporation knows about that.

Re: Hunter x Hunter

yes it can also be a "standard" depression of too much personnal and professional bad events

Re: Hunter x Hunter

This anime is pretty addicting, I haven't read the manga yet though. I'm currently on episode 44. I was wondering if I should watch those 3 OVA's too or I should just go straight to where the anime left off in the manga volume 18. I don't want to watch any fillers if the 3 OVAs are filler.

 

[HumanRage]

Re: Hunter x Hunter

no filler
71 to 92 is the best part of the story, a pure pleasure, and best drawn, like said a few moments ago, it should have ended here, and it would be perfect. maybe you should just watch, and when reading the manga, stop at the end of the greed island arc

Re: Hunter x Hunter

What about this Chimera Ant Arc I've been hearing about? I heard it was pretty good.

since we will maybe never see the end (while the story halted at "ok, let's go for the final big badass battle"), i don't think it's a good idea to read

quality is terrible, chapters are redrawn for the volume edition ... and the latest scans are only shapes and drafts :/

 

[NeoShweaty]

Re: Hunter x Hunter

i am not a big fan of the ant arc. It just seems like it is never going to end (even before his "break"). Read it because it isnt that bad but it isnt the best of the series at all.

it was on the edge to the end ... that's why it hurts so much :cry:

gn8, it's 4am here ...

Re: Hunter x Hunter

This arc was pretty weird overall; but really hit its stride towards the end.... and then he took a break; which is still going now :\

Re: Hunter x Hunter

The ant arc is only good if you're looking for lots of different characters with lots of different abilities. It's also only good if you want to know what happens next. If you read it for the art, you'll be sadly disappointed. If you're in it for the story, it's pretty good. Personally, I like it more then Greed Island in term of story. GI just had too much training in it for my taste.

 

[cravenight]

Re: Hunter x Hunter

Well they need all the training in the GI, since they pretty much couldn't do crap with nen, before it, they didn't know much and they relied to much on just there natural fighting.

Re: Hunter x Hunter

I actually somewhat like the Chimera ant thing. It shows there are things out there that can top Hunters besides the Spiders.... well spiders are according to which Hunter you're talking about I guess. Hxh can go on forever cuz it's not even to the point where you feel like you know half the crap that is supposed to be Jin Freaks(or however you may spell it). I think i'm just amused by the ant king and the blind girl.... the netgear spoof 281 was so wrong yet so funny...

Did you mean that they posted the first of April? I thought it was strange only after I read half of it

Re: Hunter x Hunter

Hisoka magazine was hilarious xD It cracked me up.

Spoiler: might get spoiled if you haven’t read all released chapters

On a serious note, I can’t wait for the mangaka to continue. At least I hope he does continue. I would like to see Killua’s lightning speed technique which basically should make him move at the speed of thunder. Gon’s attack would probably be stupid... and I just can’t understand how they will be able to beat the Ant Kill (aka Cell from DBZ) when the strongest one of them (old jii-san) is most likely weaker than one of the king’s subordinates! Just when it got good, the mangaka decided to stop. And to think he wasted so many chapters on the old lady

Re: Hunter x Hunter

Strangely what I am most curious about is

Spoiler

the relationiship between the ant kning and the blind girl

 

[bakashijinsan]

Re: Hunter x Hunter

I use to read and watch this religously until the mangaka decided to stop for weeks on end, and when he DID draw it was scribbles... I know he's sick, but for some reason he gets really SICK when a new popular game comes out... something fishy about that. Plus he's married to Sailor Moon, so it's not like he needs any cash, more like a hobby or something to him now.

Anyways, my favorite character is Kirua and the Green Island arc is GENIUS

knew he was sick but didn't know the details behind it. Naoko Tekauchi (mangaka of Sailormoon) was asked if ever his husband died if she'll continue on HxH.

yeah i like HxH but as njt mentioned, the art became scribbles and all. got attracted to it because of Gon and Killua's friendship.
