Let's talk about the world first. Hunter has all the world view structure that first-class anime has, hunter association, basic four styles of Qi and six major lines. These designs bring a sense of immersion and curiosity to readers and viewers, and increase the depth and excitement of the fight on a technical level. In this regard, Gintama is actually lacking, so it is impossible to describe the fight in detail at the tactical level. Of course, this is also destined to be doomed by Soichi Hideki who has always hated skill settings. However, if an animation only focuses on fighting and takes this concept to the extreme, it is just an excellent blood fighting animation like Dragon Ball or Saint Seiya. If you can add an appropriate plot, then the quality of the entire animation can be upgraded to the level of One Piece. The setting of the greedy mainland game in the play also proves that Yoshihide Fujian has the creativity of those super-first-class cartoonists in the plot. One Piece, which is the highest expectation I could have originally had for a hunter.
But I really underestimated the name of the genius of Fu Jian and Yibo. Aside from the plot, if only in terms of combat, I personally think that the hunter's handling is better than that of One Piece and most other anime. One of the most direct examples is the difficulty of guessing the outcome of every battle. Recalling the fight of One Piece, even if the story laid out for the final battle is more exciting, the final mode must be attributed to each member of the team playing against a master under a boss, and then Luffy and the boss heads-up. The structure of Hokage is also similar. Although Gintama is not so complicated, the finale must also be the showdown between Gintoki and the villain boss. As for the hunters, from the very beginning of the final contest of the hunter exams, they did not follow such a routine. I would not have thought that Kurapika would crush Wojin with absolute strength, nor would I have thought that Kate would have his right hand removed by Pitot in an instant. , and would never have thought that Norbu turned white just because he endured Puff's aura. The oppression of the aura of both sides when the characters appear, the desire to reveal the puzzles on the eve of the battle, and the victory or defeat in a few minutes, this kind of extreme way of describing the strength of both sides before the confrontation and showing it in an almost one-sided form during the battle The way of expression reminds me of another animation, and only this one---Jianhao's life and death fight. The Hunter's exaggerated depictions of some characters on the deathbed (such as the exhausted Nitro) also touch the audience's fear of death like the latter.
Let's talk about the plot and characters. Pang Mu is the representative of a unique character design. While Fu Jian Yibo boldly expressed the side of Pang Mu Sadako to the extreme with a dark style of painting, he immediately reversed it to the representative of a girl's heart, and finally Pum, who was transformed into an ant, expressed Surprisingly calm and rational, a character with three sides has already surprised readers enough. And almost all other important characters have at least two settings, Xiaojie is active and impulsive, Qiyi is calm and suspicious, and the others are not listed one by one. The following paragraphs will talk about the two most important characters in the ant chapter: Wang and Wheat. After watching so many animations, the scene where the king was born was the first time when I watched an animation and felt a sense of fear that only appeared when I watched a horror movie for a character, even if the shock was as if Griffith was reincarnated and sacrificed to the eagle in the Legend of Sword and Wind The group's scene also can't reach that level. If the setting of the cruel side of the king can be done by a first-class cartoonist, then the addition of wheat can only be done by a genius like Tomikin Yoshihiro. The scene of Mai holding Wang's hand and falling asleep, I couldn't get rid of it for a long time in my mind. And at that time, would you remember the cruelty of President Nitro? The combination of good and evil is also the uniqueness of the hunter in terms of character design. Please forgive me for having to compare other works. In fact, other comics also have such descriptions and reflections on characters, such as the navy and pirates in One Piece, Orochimaru, Sasuke, Nagato in Hokage, or Kurosaki Ichigo in Death. However, we can see from other places that some positive characters show their dark side after being bewitched by the darkness or the blows of life, but rarely see absolute positive representatives cross a line that we can tolerate and make us disgusted, and in I felt it when Xiaojie faced Peto who healed wheat; we can see some villains elsewhere become positives, but we never see them transcending the positives and becoming representatives of the good, and I In my heart, the king is such a being.
It would be great if time could stop at that moment forever.
