User blog comment:Foreva/HxH is rich and quite popular, why are there so few articles on Hunterpedia?/@comment-3247715-20111121211152

Actually, I can kind of see why Hunterpedia hasn't that much articles as other wikis. As a contributor to the German Reborn!-Wiki, I can say that the main difference is about what things you actually write articles. Here it is like that, that for example there aren't extra articles about each technique in detail, but they are rather described in the same article as the character who uses this technique. Don't get me wrong, I actually like it this way, but most other wikis do it exactly that way - they write new articles about things that are that minor that you could actually care less about them, just to expand the number of articles. Of course, it's not the only reason for that. I mean, it is a fact after all that there aren't too many fans of Hunter x Hunter outside of Japan compared to more recent animes. After all, the original anime is from 1999, and even if you're following the manga, the word hiatus should speak for itself, right? Add a chimera ant arc that wasn't liked by most fans due to several reasons, and it is hard to actually find fans of Hunter x Hunter. Compared to the other animes you named, well... although I don't like it, but the Dragonball Wiki kind of deserves that many articles, since it really is a famous anime (yet way too overrated in my opinion) and of course is kind of old by now, giving it quite some material to write about. Given the fact that they also add many games and remakes to the franchise, it's only natural that you can write more things about it. I haven't been following One Piece, yet from what I hear, there are also many things you could write about, since it seems to be rather creative. I also can't say anything to Fairy Tail since I've avoided it as much as I could, given the fact that it seems to be one of these overrated animes, and well, I never really wanted to read or watch Naruto after I've seen how they censored it in Germany. Of course, the dub was horrible, too. Considering Bleach, it is also overrated, yet from what I can gather, they get their articles mainly by writing about each fight and so on, which Bleach has plenty of, although the story is kind of lame after the Soul Society Arc. The current arc wasn't that bad actually until it reached a certain point, but well, now it's miserable again. About Reborn!, well, given the fact that I'm one of the editors at the German Reborn!-Wiki, it is kind of reasonable that my opinion differs a bit from yours, yet I can say that I agree at some points with you. It kind of makes me sad that Akira Amano keeps on repeating the same mistakes in the manga, eg the power-ups, the fact that the enemy of the arc always overpowers Tsuna and the rest without any effort, and this is what I currently hate about it. It has quite some potential, after all I consider the Varia Arc as one of the best Arcs I've ever read in a manga (yet still behind York Shin), but at the moment, Reborn! relies too much on the characters that are loved by the plenty of fanboys/fangirls that are living in Japan... Of course, any of these recent animes was streamed on pages like Crunchyroll when it aired, with DBZ as the exception, making even animes like Reborn! available to watchers that aren't living in Japan. So, to keep it short: Hunter x Hunter is simply underrated, while most of the rest is overrated and they are writing quite some dispensable articles in their respective wikis. Well then, thanks for reading this text, at least my fingers don't hurt for nothing now...
