@HXHAlex:
Question for a possible good discussion:
If HXH were to never come back, if Ging and Gon meeting with the promise of more adventures for everyone in the future (unresolved plot points, the dark continent, etc) was where the manga ended, what is the legacy HXH leaves to the world of manga? Where does it rank among its peers?
Not among the best if that happens. I'm still quite angry that YYH ended the way it did, he clearly stated that something big was supposed to come to the future.. and then it ends. If it didn't state that, I could be ok with it. Not to mention the last arc (tournament one) was arguably the weakest for me, but then again it's been a while and i don't remember it all that well.
He's definitely the laziest mangaka around though, which is frustrating considering what an incredibly talented writer he is.
