FORTNITE FORTNITE
the narrator isn't there to explain anything he adds feeling and makes it a true epic. All the best classic epic, the Iliad, Odyssey, The Lusiads, Gilgamesh works that changed the scope of art and that had the job to make a nation glorious all
feature a narrator, omniscient and that gives commentary to what is happening. Helps setting stage, understanding the themes of the action more clearly and just makes CA a epic. Of course, not sharing the glorification of the main group, this time making it a ambiguous epic that recognizes good and bad in both sides. Making it even better than an epic. Togashi is truly a cultured person and one that has the ability to give fruits from his massive knowledge. Most mangaka don't even know who Francisco de Goya is. But he knows when to stop the narration too, and not overbloat the work with it. Masterpiece.

In using this to poke fun at Togashi, anons have conceded his superiority.
Yes, Togashi is free: free of tropes, cliches, and
shounen narratives; free of boredom, stupidity, and laziness; free of drudgery and obligation; free of everything but genius.
Because Togashi creates from desire, waiting itself becomes beautiful, for we know that pure quality gestates within him. The Hunterchad is not a consumerist slave: he loves what is already existing, and knows it as the greatest work of the Eastern canon; if more chapters release, tis a boon, but it is not requisite for our love. This is why threads consistently hit bump limits two years after a chapter release. No other mangakaka could hope to achieve this.
Hunterchads have long since understood that Hunter x Hunter is philosophy first, poetry second, and in the history of both you find that many masterworks take many years. (Goethe took 57 to complete Faust.) Readers at our level have long since overcome time: this is why the insults of the anons strike us like a candle does the sun.
Part of the reason why the Chimera Ant arc has this air of literary splendor is due to its narrative style. It shares similarities to the epics of old, the Beowulfs and Odysseys. Hunter x Hunter’s narrator acts as a medium for literary devices,
almost as if his words were actually text read aloud. At one point he sets up an obvious Chekhov’s Gun that is fired to great effect a bit later, and he utilizes poignant metaphors and sets up more foreshadowing throughout the arc. Some of the passages spoken by the narrator were so beautiful and memorable (e.g. the humans in the sky line), and the narration served to create the feeling that I was reading some intricate tapestry of prose. Friedrich Spielhagen, German novelist, argued that “[only] a detailed description of characters, events, and actions…is in accordance with the ‘laws of the epic’ (‘epische Gesetze’), and hence must be rated superior…” (Spielhagen 1883). Togashi adheres to Spielhagen's thesis.
