But what constitutes for slow is subjective. Break down the way the characters fall flat. How are they written poorly? What makes them uninteresting? You're using the vaguest terms possible because you're adamently opposed to putting an ounce of thought into your position. You'd rather bitch and moan over buzzwords than really dive into a character to expose how bland they are. Take for instance if I were to criticize Kirito for being bland: he lacks any personality of his own. The progress of Kirito's character is entirely incoherent. One way he lacks cogerence is how he insists on being a 'loner' but only becomes one when the plot necessitates it. He manages to join another person or group every single episode. His entire existence exemplifies this need to be adjusted to meet the plot's demands. For example, he has a melodramatic arc over his guild after they're all killed early on, he spends all of half an episode knowing them, the next half mourning and hoping to revive one, an eventual failure, then it's largely unimportant after the fact. There's no time to develop a connection to the situation and acts as a cheap way to create attachment to a character (Kirito) who will be a completely different character the next time you see him becsuse, apparently, the writer omitted multiple character arcs that take place in-betweeen each of thise side stories. So we end up with a horribly unliksble, largely unrelatable character that's rushed and underdeveloped. I think we can both agree Kirito is s bad character. But where you would simply say "Kirito is a terrible character" I would take the time to explain why he's a terrible character. The former isn't very persuasive. I won't say the latter will necessarily be persuasive, but at minimum cues into the logic behind the statement and thusly has potential to becone persuasive. So, in conclusion: How? In what way is Gon a poorly written character? Break down how my (somewhat rudimentary) analysis of the progression is wrong and address it point-by-point. "Boring" and "slow" isn't good enough to justify your incessant bitching.

I liked all the screaming and crying. 9/10

I don't know what area you're in and you've said before it's not too friendly to gay folk, but it would surprise me if there's absolutely no gay bars or the like. Unless it's a super rural area. Perhaps more tucked away and whatnot. Just try Googling gay bars in your area. You might actually find some, even if the area isn't as LGBT-friendly as it should. Then again, I'm in a fairly accepting area, so we have quite a few.

I listened to maybe 10-15 different shows (skipping arounfmd to different places) and I swear 90% of his complaints are "It has.....INCEST!" *thunderclap* I don't think he's capable of watching shows with contentbhe finds objectable, such as anything sexual or violence [with Ninja Scroll as an exception]. It made nearly every single segment I listened to ultra-cringey.

You haven't rebutted my points about the progress made. Simply say, "No it didn't happen!" doesn't mean it suddenly didn't happen. And while Gon may follow a simple archetype, he does have an imdividualized personality with growth not necessarily in the expected direction. Yet again, "I don't like it" isn't interchangeable with "There is none".

Maybe if you want to exclusively appeal to 12-year-olds who don't know how to look up real porn yet.

Are you talking about the OwlChemist post at the top of the page 31? The wording of the post appears to be speculation. I don't know what they were basing it on, but According to the site he said he was waiting for results on, HxH got 679,000 viewers..... and Naruto got 675,000. http://programminginsider.com/ratings/final-nationals/saturday-final-nationals-lions-seahawks-nbc-dips-9-year-viewership-low-saturday-night-nfl-wild-card/ So it literally did not lose out to Naruto.

You like Fairy Tail. Your opinion is invalid.

This guy fucking sucks.

Jman's default setting is pants-shitting rage.

Because shonens are so known for those fantastic training episodes. Wait... no, the training episodes in basically every shonen are the most boring shit imaginable. "Hurr punch durr no harder" [20 minutes later] "hurrdurr dats gud!" At least this made some level of sense and tried something new. And you severely exaggerate the phone thing. It was like, 3-4 minutes (protip: that's not half of a 22 minute episode) that are mostly there to establish how isolated the family forces Killua to be. So not only was it relevant to who Killua is as a person, but also not even close to the duration you inflate it to. I like that you just harp on 2-3 points about very specific instances and are universally wrong about them. Dao, is being wrong your default setting?

Gon sets out to become a Hunter to find dad. Gon becomes a Hunter. Gon feels cheated by not earning the license, and thus not deserving of the help the license provides. Gon works to meet his standards and to become deserving of the license, which only takes "Not done a lot to progress plot". Any other long running shonen, they'd still have the protagonist trying to get the license. And if the protagonist gets the reward through cheap bullshit, they wouldn't think twice about getting an easy out. That's a lot more progress and characterization than basically any other shonen, with few exceptions like FMA.

"I don't like how characters develop or the plot progression"=/=There is no character development or forward progress You don't seem to understand that you not liking the way something plays out doesn't equate to it not having those things.

Yakshemash review Sucks 1/10

STAAAAAAAAAAAAAHP.

STAHP.

Zeni... Zendog.... Zenireno.... Stahp.

"Boring" isn't a remotely valid criticism of.... really anything. Different things interest different people. You think it's boring, not everyone does.

You call that escalation? The closest this was to escalating was the douchenozzle "Do you ever get tired of being wrong?" comment you needlessly tacked on to a failure of a rebuttal.

I wish you the best of luck.

It's also a fantasy world with looser laws. Just because it doesn't match 100% with reality (which even most courtroom shows don't typically manage) doesn't mean the point is moot. We have laws that take into consideration manipulation, to which you laughed off as illogical. Frankly, in a world with hypnosis and Manipulator Nen abilities (which includes the power to take control over living things), being inclusive of murder is MORE logical, not less. Give me a good reason why murder should not be included in a world where someone could literally stick a needle in your neck and use a remote control to force you to kill someone? That's not even an exaggeration. It happens in the show.

You broke up with Phillies? I guess he'll just have to have sex with a pillow. No big loss, basically the same anyway.

*facepalm* You know, there are legal clauses to protect those who commit crimes out of fear for their own safety, right? Laws there because if someone is coerced into committing homicide, typically through threats, then the act is considered an act by the manipulator, not the perpetrator because it was not an action made on their own volition but of the one who made the threat. This is an actual thing. In the real world. In fucking America, no less. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duress_in_American_law "In jurisprudence, duress or coercion refers to a situation whereby a person performs an act as a result of violence, threat or other pressure against the person. Black's Law Dictionary (6th ed.) defines duress as "any unlawful threat or coercion used... to induce another to act [or not act] in a manner [they] otherwise would not [or would]". Duress is pressure exerted upon a person to coerce that person to perform an act that he or she ordinarily would not perform. The notion of duress must be distinguished both from undue influence in the civil law. In criminal law, duress and necessity are different defenses.[1][2] Duress has two aspects. One is that it negates the person's consent to an act, such as sexual activity or the entering into a contract; or, secondly, as a possible legal defense or justification to an otherwise unlawful act.[3] A defendant utilizing the duress defense admits to breaking the law, but claims that he/she is not liable because, even though the act broke the law, it was only performed because of extreme unlawful pressure.[4] In criminal law, a duress defense is similar to a plea of guilty, admitting partial culpability, so that if the defense is not accepted then the criminal act is admitted. Duress or coercion can also be raised in an allegation of rape or other sexual assault to negate a defense of consent on the part of the person making the allegation." If this is "illogical", take it up with the American Judicial system, not me or HxH. It is a legitimate defense to be made. Illumi told Killua he would kill Gon unless Killua forfeits by committing murder. Even if Illumi claims to have been teasing, chances are the only reason he had no intention of following through was because Hisoka would kill him if he did - a relationship Killua had no knowledge of - and it's doubtful Killua would trust the "just teasing" sentiment regardless. Gon is mad that Killua was forced to kill against his will, especially having been used as a pawn to force it. That makes sense, even if you don't want to admit it does. Did you finish Heaven's Arena? I'd suggest watching the Yorknew arc, but it does require some knowledge set up in Heaven's Arena, in large part due to the different Nen classes. Where Toonami's at, the arc is only a small handful of episodes away.

It's also known that Killua was manipulated into doing it, potentially out of fear (submitting to Illumi's request to save Gon), but also potentially out of hypnosis. And the "no one even talks about it" part is an outright lie, for that matter. Gon walks in tot he meeting late and gets mad at Illumi for manipulating his friend into killing, Netero (the chairman)'s literal first line in response to Gon's objections is "Oh, we were just talking about that." Then they go on to have a brief discussion about whether or not Killua should be disqualified if his murder was involuntary. There's a DISCUSSION ABOUT IT, so no, they don't simply "not talk about it". Just because nobody goes, "I feel so bad about losing the old guy I didn't know, his death is so sad" doesn't mean the characters weren't clearly and blatantly pissed off about the unnecessary killing and the circumstances surrounding it.
