*Cough* *Cough* naruto

@@demigod5598who said anything about Naruto .-,

@@NotFanti i did

He is one of the closest to even getting to Akira Toriyama's level. Togashi is very very smart when it comes to composition and movement or displaying characters emotion.

@@demigod5598 Naruto may have a better story but hxh was executed better so is tied

Appreciate that! I spent a lot of time researching & editing for this one, wanted to make it perfect seeing as there aren't many videos talking about the art positively on KZfaq.

Facts.

Indeed!

I probably would compare him more with somebody like George R R Martin in Fantasy, because Togashis big strength is that his arc is highly subversive when it comes to battle shonen standarts, some of which having been in the process of being established while he was already going a fully different route with HxH and his narrative style of tense, character-driven plotlines which feature multiple PoVs and perspectives to a much deeper extent than other Shonen stories ever allow themselves to move away from the lead, not to forget a very "everything could happen" style of writing. I mean, the current arc is basically both a fulmination and escalation of this established style, where the plot is so thick with different characters who all have their different motivations and ambitions and are connected through a web of various histories, interests, alliances and hostilities, that it could be its own political thriller series. I'm saying this more because I kinda feel like what differents Hidetaka Miyazaki from other RPG creators is probably pretty much the opposite of what differenciates Togashi from other Shonen Mangas, Hunter x Hunter is set out in a way that you at any moment can have a clear understanding of what is going on, because it has really alot of exposition, which fits the style of the series though, which forces characters to always deeply observe and analyze their surroundings and act cautiously and tactically. Even Gon, the typical happy go lucky spontaneous shonen protagonist who just rushes into situations compared to more introverted characters has a very observational and tactical edge to him, very careful if you compare him to characters like Son Goku or Naruto. And I think it fits the core hook of what the battle shonen aspect of this series is all about, it is about hunters, not fighters. And hunters observe, they are cautious, they investigate, stalk and analyze their prey. And even in very battle intense arc, this element of the story is always present, it is always about a hunt for something.

That's really cool, thank you for sharing!

i think it serves as a great reminder of the fact that a normal human being like everybody else makes this manga. it honestly makes me much more inspired to make my own comic just knowing that i don’t need to be an absolute artistic god at everything i do lol

No worries my guy

Thank you!

Well said 👏🏽

The problem is hiding behind it or not knowing how to locate the author.

No FINISHED drawings in Hunter × Hunter is garbage (well with the exception of 337 if it wasn't purposeful minimalism), u disingenuous moron. The 5 to 10 minutes ones are ugly, but try drawing something decent in this timeframe w/ a chronic back pain, a$$hole & then u will be able to trash talk.

I read the whole manga on an app who had the shitty early drafts of early chapters, and I never felt insulted reading it. Like, some drawings were just really simple and just a few strokes, but they somehow felt charming. Chimera ant arc is a great example, it's an arc with plenty white areas, there's a lot of loose drawings and empty scenarios but that gave it a very surreal feeling I'm not sure I've seen replicated in another manga

Shut up if you call even some of his drawings "factual garbage" you don't know shit about art

Thank you for watching!

lol

Yes. I am really liking and is thankful for this channel😊

Lmfao what the hell. Hxh has plenty of panels that are berserk level. Lets be serious here

@@benakinnusi2518 Yeah man I'm literally complementing Hunter x Hunter's art with my post. When I said "overall detail" I meant "over the course of the entire manga." You cannot argue that HxH has art that is overall better than Berserk. But as I said in my post, HxH still has my favorite individual panels.

Awesome, thank you for the kind words and good luck with your own channel!

Thank you my man!

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed! I really love how you put that, it is like a sandbox both narratively and artistically and Togashi is always experimenting with new things. I think that's a big reason Hunter x Hunter is so successful, the variety and diversity. There is something for everybody in this story.

If you look closely, Pakunoda and Uvogin died at York New City Arc and their tatoo numbers were 9 and 11 and you could guess what I am referring to. And this happens in the manga before that incident.

@@rexgeorgerodriguez7620 Yes there are too many things like this in HxH manga Togashi put a lot of messages in this iconic serie The succession arc look at the black whale it's like a pyramid with etages And the 3 kakin's mafia Family Shu and Ei and Sha = Shueisha the name of shonen jump

@@rexgeorgerodriguez7620 Iam very exited to see more from Togashi and just the shared chapters still have messages that we didn't discover yet

I think he should for health.

That's cool.

I’ve always wondered what it meant, thanks!

Thank you!!

Thanks for watching!

Taking this info into account actually makes the manga even more impressive, a sign of a genius artist/writer is adding minute details that is intentionally not meant to be part of the grander narrative but still contributes in the narrative in a much smaller speculative ways, especially Togashi falls into the side of "gardener" as a writer and HxH is a sandbox of an art and narrative it is just fitting PS: I edited the gardener part so people won't be confused

Woah, thank you so much!

Awesome, thank you!

Appreciate you Steebs

There's also the 1999 version, which looks closer to the mangas older artstyle imo while also having a more natural and darker color palette which if you like older 90's anime will appeal to you more

Yeah I still have some beef with the Madhouse adaptation. The first arc is the Hunter's Exam and I still don't feel like the Madhouse adaptation did it much justice. There are so many base blocks for character building there that weren't given proper care. The 1999 anime even though York Shin is a much stronger arc, people liked the Hunter's Exam but with the Madhouse adaptation people forget that arc exists. Plus really weird choices like leaving out Gon's meeting with Kite which is Gon's main driving motivation all the way up through the Chimera Ant arc.

Dude you are my brother from another mother. I completely agree. Although I think One Piece art itself doesn't look bad it's the paneling.

One piece's paneling and art used to be very good in my opinion. It's just becoming worse and worse, and now is when oda is at his worst. I theorize that Oda is burning himself out and not consuming/taking inspiration enough of other manga material that his strenuous manga work makes his work regress

Thank you Phantom!
