![]() ![]() However, the imaginative powers I was talking about earlier tend to be more akin to throwing random shit at the wall instead of drilling down to make sense of the powers. OP has great world building, imaginative display of unique powers, and good plot structure that generally lead to satisfying payoffs in the conclusion of the arc. It's been a problem for the last few arcs and one of the reasons I feel Chimera Ant while good is incredibly overrated. Hunter x hunter chimera series#However the series gets very dialogue heavy and at a certain point the exposition becomes a distraction. The nen system is FAAAARRRRRR better wrtitten than Devil Fruit powers and Haki. HxH gets credit for taking more risks in character and plot development. Weaknesses are treatment of many female characters, too much use of offscreen to resolve important events. So yeah, main strengths are characterisation, visual design, narrative continuity and foreshadowing, sense of adventure. Also, I have confidence, baring tragedy, that Oda will finish the series. Again, I don't think it should be downplayed just how incredible some of Oda's visual design is. ![]() One Piece may have more dips in many ways, but I find it just as creative, much better progress, more attractive and probably creative visual design, it has a very strong cross age demographic appeal, and an unparalleled sense of adventure. Weaknesses are release schedule, exposition and poor integration of info dumps, pacing sometimes. Yeah, I would say main strength is conceptual and atmosphere, while characterisaton is also pretty good. But yeah, in general he is super interesting conceptually, more so than in OP I would say. The Chimera one basically managed to redeam itself with the ending and Mureams fate. Also, there have been some pretty dragging arcs. Fair play if that is related to health, and I don't begrudge him that. He also seems to have continually expanded the story while not giving any confidence that he can actually bring it together. ![]() However, the author also relies on a massive amount of exposition to communicate his elaborate ideas, which I think is a bit of a fail. There is also a sense of threat and foreboding that is very well constructed. I enjoy HXH, it is very creative and actually quite mature in a lot of areas. ![]()
