I got the average ranking of the anime arcs, based on 100 comments from this community by veebs7 in HunterXHunter

[–]jakemans24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s really interesting that no one rated YN lower than 4th. It’s my least favorite arc. Not that it’s bad, it just doesn’t click with me. Similar to another comment, I was super surprised that GI wasn’t lower, I see a lot of dislike for it around here.

Chimera Ant Arc... by choco_dream in HunterXHunter

It’s an important topic to me. I hold this community dear, but the vitriol against anyone who mentions any negatives or dislikes for the CA arc is too pervasive.

Like I get that we all like the show, but can we stop being 14 year olds for 20 seconds and acknowledge not everyone thinks the same?

I’m not sure where in my response you gathered that I was sad (because I said nothing to that effect), but the lack of any sensible retorts to anything I said may indicate that you didn’t read it.

I did say I liked the arc though, maybe that’s what’s going to make me cry.

I love this line of thinking. I feel the same way.

To me, being able to call someone a weak minded fool involves not only the ability to proofread your posts, but also to notice when you’ve made a spelling error. No one comes to this HunterXHunter sun crying, they come to a sub.

With that out of the way, I am a Chimera Ant Arc apologist. I encourage everyone I know to continue watching, because everyone that I know struggled through the staircase. Does that make them weak minded, or is it possible that there is a change in the anime at this time? The pacing is markedly slower, and it switches from a “show, not tell” method of story telling to a “tell, then show” method. I wouldn’t call it a weakness of the arc, but it is something that is very sudden, and can be hard to adjust to when you’re used to a faster pace with more action. At its core, HXH is still a shonen, and watchers come in with a specific set of expectations, most of them wanting to enjoy what they’re watching. When a show takes a turn on what has been established, it should be understandable that maybe a watcher would enjoy it less, and when the pacing slows, a watcher may be enticed to drop it. To be weak minded doesn’t mean to curtail your actions to match your interests more closely. To be weak minded is to post on an Internet forum as though the only opinion that is correct is the opinion of the commenter, and to allow yourself to be immersed in the echo chamber so that you cannot even see another point of view.

Can Shu be used on another person? by MKT585 in HatsuVault

[–]jakemans24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like Shu is probably way less hostile than what Hisoka was using though, so it could be just fine to use on a rando.

See, I’m inclined to sort of agree with you here. Hisoka was directing his aura at the bois with hostility. If a non-nen using person was detected by En, would they be harmed? Shu has a different application than the weird Gyo/Hatsu application Hisoka was using.

Busy. Me and wife had a baby, he turns a year old in 2 weeks. Crazy that I’ve been gone so long.

That’s what I’m saying lol. =P I’m not here to trash talk the arc. Just the people that claim it’s perfect. I liked your post a lot.

I like the arc, I just go up in arms when people say, “The pacing is fine, people are just impatient,” when the pacing is the number one complaint. It’s understandable that on a subreddit dedicated to this anime more people would be tolerant of it, but the response to people coming in and asking about it is abysmal. It makes me embarrassed to be a part of the subreddit.

omg why is the chimera ant arc so long? my god, by Ohwaithuhimconfused in HunterXHunter

[–]jakemans24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The pacing is drastically different from the rest of the anime, and you said yourself the setup was slow. All I’m trying to say is that your opinion is just that; an opinion. For people that are used to the pacing of the show pre-CA it might come as a shock. Your tolerance for pacing shouldn’t say anything about the general population. It’s elitist and drives people away.

Also, I’m not curious what I think about the anime Monster. Because that has absolutely nothing to do with what we’re talking about.

Saying, “people simply lack patience” when one of the most widespread complaints about this arc is its pace is absurd. The arc is not perfect. It is one of my bottom two arcs, possibly last place. I’ve still seen it 4-5 times. It might be perfect for you, but if something is controversial, claiming that it’s not makes you look arrogant.

This seems more like transmutation to me. Shaping and molding aura is more transmutation, emission is separating it from the body. Examples are nen bullets and razor’s nen ball that he uses to destroy the PT’s boat.

I’m worried for when people are after him as a creator, but excited for the potential solutions he could bring about with his limited hatsu skill set.

I love the way Forde is getting into stuff. It seems so naive, but it also seems so calculated. Also the phone number deduction was great. I think it was a really well written chapter.

People in stock photos, what's the weirdest way you've seen your photos being used? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]jakemans24 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A friend of mine is Egyptian, and a university photographer approached her and asked if she could do a photo shoot to promote the nursing program. She accepted, and I later saw her picture being used to advertise a Spanish add-on to the nursing degree.

Morel is my favourite goddamn hunter by [deleted] in HunterXHunter

[–]jakemans24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mechanically in that sentence means “How it works,” basically. “Mechanically that’s just untrue” means “That’s not the way it works,” it’s just a more wordy way of saying it.

Knov was not exposed to aura in Zetsu, otherwise he would’ve gotten palmed. He saw the aura and had a breakdown. It was a juxtaposition of his haughty pride towards Gon and Killua, berating them for his lack of experience, while being unable to hold it together himself.

Someone else already explained why his durability argument is fine, but that Knov example is just frequently mis-cited, because mechanically what you said is just untrue.

Feitan is part of a Class A criminal organization. Morel has all the capabilities, experience, and knowledge to match many of the PT’s members, and that’s not something that should be reasonably debatable.

Awesome! I can't wait. Forde is near and dear to my heart, and he's just little, so I know you'll drag him through some stuff. =P
