Compared to Dragon Ball that essentially became trope fodder, HxH executed creatively enough that other manga's simply choose not to follow its lead despite it being a Top 5 manga of all times (Popularity wise). Anyways, as far as Battle Shounen's go it's top-tier, maybe even the best. People are ruthless and underhanded as a rule of thumb, so you never get the feeling you have to handwave common stupidity like "Calling your attack" or "letting your opponent charge their super attack". The protags are fully willing to trick stronger opponents into an ambush and drop a rock on them instead of fighting head on. Fights are about tactics as much as they are about strength, which means when hype builds it comes from a natural and intriguing place. Top notch anime, both the original and the 2011. The manga is... Inconsistent, but phenomenal source material. --- // BEAUTY IS NOT LOVE - LOVE IS NOT MUSIC - MUSIC IS THE BEST - WISDOM IS THE DOMAIN OF THE WIZ--WHICH IS EXTINCT // http://www.last.fm/user/Pogo92 ...
