Come on guys! You misunderstand the spirit of Kubo! Kubo day isn't about the avatars, signatures or group celebratory events. Kubo day is about…

Hunter x Hunter II

DID IT WORK
Sick

Togashi day sounds as good as any other reason for returning from a forum hiatus, doing a few scribbles, and then going out on an even longer hiatus.
-
Thank you Nobodyman

oh wow this thread is hilarious XD.
So if we have a Murata day do we have to do the complete opposite of this and have highly detailed animatable drawings of everything?
-
This is the greatest thing to happen to this thread since it began. Seriously this was awesome and I'm kinda down that I missed out on the festivities.
Anyways I came here to post something I didn't see in the thread and that I thought was interesting http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-03-03/japan-animation-tv-ranking-february-18-24
Hunter x Hunter made the top 10 anime ratings list that week. I don't think they have any newer updates on their yet but it's really nice to see Hunter x Hunter getting up there in the ratings even if it's not inspiring Togashi to get of his hiatus at all.
I'm gonna reach for the stars~~~
-
I definitely have not read as many mangas and watched as many anime adaptations as you guys, but personally, HxH is my second favourite manga after One Piece, and the current anime is #1 on my list.
I hate that because Togashi is not deserving of my admiration right now >> but his story-telling ability really is quite nice. Most of the time. (Anticlimactic and series-destroying meeting of Gon and Ging >>)

Is this the first time the Madhouse HXH series has been in the top 10 ratings list? Where is it usually? I wonder if viewership with increase much once the never-before-animated material starts
-
HXHAlex,dude you missed out on some good stuff.
-

Me too.

It's not a bandwagon, it's a family holiday.
But you need to meet no family to celebrate it!

I have joined the celebration.
…even though I don't read HxH. Should I? What's it like?

Hunter x hunter is sort of like a more polished take on yuyuhakusho in terms of its fighting system and smooth transitions into other arcs. It has a lot of strategy and narrative to its plots, reminiscent to deathnote to a
degree in my opinion. The main cast for the most part all have different and defined goals that lead to a variety of plots. It has a unique overworld that provides for a variety of locales the cast explores, a bit like one piece. It's a smart series with some brilliant fights -
… and the author can't drag himself away from Dragon Quest long enough to draw any of it these days, so it's almost always on hiatus. And when we do get it, you have really badly drawn scribbles and sometimes REALLY AWESOMELY DETAILED DRAWING OF A TURKEY surrounded by said scribbles.

You must, atleast for the many good characters this manga offers.
Just go and start reading, i'm fairly sure you won't regret it.

Okay…?
That's not from the manga, right?
-
For all the shit we give it (mostly deserving) Hunter x Hunter is a fantastic, very non-standard shonen manga (to the point where it deconstructs the entire genre) and when the author actually tries the art can be pretty impressive too.
The only issue is the latter part of the previous qualifying clause.
-

Yes it is. I explained this in my post. Read my post again.

-

Lately, Togashi draws like that for Jump.
He usually fixes them for the tankobons (which we don't get to see since scanlators almost always use Jump when they can).
-
Except I cropped this picture from a tankobon scan. There was not a single panel fixed in volume 30.

Why Togashi why.
-
In the past Togashi had fixed all the scribbly bits for the volume releases in years past but that recent chapter is the sole exception.
-
There's a beginning to everything.

Okay, I guess I understand this "scribble avatar" thing now… I assume Togashi isn't very liked?
-
No. It's his attitude towards his audience and his work that is frowned upon. His manga, on the other hand, is quite exceptional in many, many ways.
I admit I don't count Hunter x Hunter among my favorites, but it's still an amazing and engrossing read.
-

Yeah. Basically, at one point during the run of HxH he just stopped caring. Nobody is quite sure why, but it's theorized that he just can't stop playing Dragon Quest long enough to want to work, and residuals from the HxH he's already done, plus Yu Yu Hakusho, PLUS his wife's money printing manga (She wrote Sailor Moon) means he doesn't HAVE to work, so he just doesn't care.

Or, if you put it another way, Togashi Yoshihiro just doesn't have a need to work on a constant tiresome weekly schedule. Understand that he is among the top ten most demanded authors in the industry. Every book he puts out sells almost a million copies in the first week alone. So naturally every publisher in Japan wouldn't stop at anything to sign a contract with Togashi. Shueisha, his current employer, perfectly understands this fact, and to prevent losing Togashi and the income he brings, offers him such conditions that would be most comfortable for him to remain with his current business partner. As long as there is the demand and Togashi can - not necessarily will - answer it, he will keep working at the pace that suits him and not anyone else.

I'm sorry, but even when Oda was working on Strong World, we never got more than a week break from OP, and the art never suffered….
Also, I LOVE Hellsing, it's my favorite manga, but Kouta Hirano is NOTORIOUSLY lazy and had lots of problems during Hellsing's publication... but he never missed more than the usual one-month break, and even if the chapters were sometimes short, every chapter was very well drawn.
There are plenty of other Manga authors with a much better work ethic than Togashi. Togashi is literally the only author I can think of who basically does manga whenever he feels like it and turns it in so poorly drawn. You'd think with a HUGE hiatus, he'd have time to devote to the art.

I wonder how much of his time's taken up by his kids.
Given the normal schedule of a Jump author (and mangaka in general, though I'm guessing it's not as extreme), they're lucky their parents are able to be around to raise them.
-

We have a love-hate relationship with him. He made a really great series, but he's just totally neglected it over the last few years.
-
I'm not defending Togashi, all of you feel free to keep the cricitisms and jokes coming. He deserves it
HAVING SAID THAT
The Chimera Ant arc easily has some of the most beautiful work for the series. And during the last uninterrupted 30 chapters the art didn't get lazy till around Gon meeting Ging
I get the jokes, I know they are deserving. But I don't get the "He just stopped caring about the art" argument. Chapter for chapter Chimera Ant's art looks exactly like Yorkshin's outside of the early-early CA chapters and this last volume release where for some reason he didn't clean up the art
I'm really not defending Togashi. I just dont get this growing mentality that the art went to hell. It didn't. Outside of the examples I listed (the uncleaned up last volume and a few sketchy early CA chapters) the Chimera Ant arc and the Election arc (except for the last few chapters) looked like the rest of the series:
CA arc easily has the most impressive art in the series -
I agree. Togashi's art troubles are once in a blue moon, not a common occurrence.
-

Exactly. I'm not saying the jokes should stop. I know some times he turns in scribbles for his weekly releases. I know recently he didn't clean up the rough last few chapters he put out. I have absolutely no idea why he's allowed to pull the things he pulls. But as far as the tankobon releases go, outside of the ending of GI and the beginning of CA, the series looks virtually the same from beginning to end with some beautiful stuff in the CA arc

I gotta get in on this avatar action. You guys are hilarious.

He gets so much flack because, to my knowledge, Togashi is the only author who does this. He's actually a good artist, I love when his art is good, but it's the fact that he's like, the ONLY mangaka anyone has ever heard of who turns in scribbles for the weekly release that's laughable. Yeah, he cleans it up later usually, but name me a single other manga author who has ever done that… Some have fixed art mistakes in volume later (Like Oda fixing Crocodile's lack of Hook in the BW Cover story, or Hirano making the fight a little easier to comprehend during the Aluicard Vs. Walter fight) but the art always looks good to begin with. It never looks... unfinished and scribbly in any official released form when anyone else does it.
It'd be like if Hirohiko Araki suddenly made his entire manga look like those charming bits of scribbles he puts at the end of every chapter of the Tankobon.

Alright time for some defence. Give me a shounen currently running in jump, NOT One Piece, that has the emotional impact and originality of Hunter X Hunter. Go.
I want to believe too big guy3ds code friend:0404-6254-1866
