Haha, I guess there are two camps. Gon is my favorite character and I believe he's the one best portrated in the series. I like that he doesn't have too many monologues; it really makes me pay...

Maybe it is sometimes inconsistent, but the muscles are indicative of his growth. Not only in strength, but as an adolescent. HxH is the story of boys trying to become men; their frustration with...

Possibly, but at the same time the VO makes either a very large mistake or there has been a significant change in Neferpitou's dialogue. The line in the preview is, "Ja, Atashi ga..." It's important...

Episode 75 ("The Victor and The Vanquished") has Tomoko Mori as AD (my personal favorite), so I'd assume it's either the end of G.I. or the final battle. But Mai Ishii is doing episode 74, and she's...

aaaahhhhhhhh great thread!!! After I've read through your posts, I'll interject my own opinion here.

EDIT: OK. So in this world, we have superhumans and fantastic elements--but the presence of...

Guilty. I'll remove it if you want me to (or attribute the credit to you), I just thought that it was a fantastic capture.

Hmm...so, both translations are correct, in their own ways. Crunchyroll's translation is entirely literal, but the hidden meaning behind the poem is lost because of how literal the translation.

Good fathers want their sons to catch up and then eventually surpass them. I think that Ging is sort of like Son Goku in the sense that he has baseless confidence in his son. There's no logic to it;...

Great episode. I don't mind Departure V3. In fact, it reminds me of this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHnfX1RmZX8

lol. this episode was baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad. 5/10. 6/10 at MOST.

Though, tbh, the music selections were exactly what I expected (sans TO-MO-DA-CHI).

A wild guess: we'll hear "Meimou" during Gon...

"Grief" is no excuse. Gon had no idea that Kite had died until chapter 305--only that he was altered. And he believed that Neferpitou could heal him. Regardless of the circumstances, those are...

Revenge isn't new for him either. His fight against Hisoka? That was him getting his revenge. He goes further in the Chimera Ant arc and it's somewhat hard for me to believe that you don't feel that...

Yoshihisa Hirano's soundtracks are notorious for throwing in musical references to classical pieces. I've noticed a couple in Hunter x Hunter. For instance, here's "Montagues and Capulets" (of Romeo...

Gon's behavior, if left unchanged in a hypothetical Nippon Animation adaptation of the CA arc, would be extremely inconsistent in the 1999 series. You'd be missing the gradual progression/budding...

1. Boys Be Courageous! - Prelude to Gon vs. Hisoka
2. From Whale Island - The First Episode/"That's the reason I came." - Episode 17
3. Sprint - Gon tries to give Hisoka back his badge/Gon's charge...

A quick note: episode 48's title might actually be "A Connoisseur's Impression" instead of "The Virtue of Judgment." I chose to translate it to the latter because of Madhouse's typical 2 chapter pace...

48. The Virtue of Judgment
49. Analysis Through Pursuit
50. Comrade and Sword

I wonder if Madhouse is saving the Zepile stuff for after the Phantom Troupe arc. There is a solid week wherein...

I want to mention that in the 1999 series, Leorio's plan isn't to have Gon participate in underground activity. In fact, the screenshots above prove it: for some reason, Leorio knew that he was...

That was so much better than I ever expected this episode to be. 10/10. Uvogin is beastly! His expressions are wild; he acted as though he'd been raised among bears. The voice acting was fantastic as...

I haven't written anything extensive or deep about this, but there is a big relationship between Hunters and animals. Not only in terms of interaction, but moreso...affinity.

There are some...

Given Madhouse's color schemes for the Shadow Beasts, it seems as though they're all human. They probably Transmuted their own bodies to appear as the animals they represent.

That's a reaaaaaally liberal translation. The original Japanese volume doesn't say anything about Neon having been "moved." Instead, Melody says something like: "After we found out, even though the...

That was way better than I had ever hoped. I loved how Gon vs. Shizuku was animated--I suppose that it is the prelude to the Phantom Troupe's true power.

But I love how the realm of adults is...

43. The Shocking Tragedy
44. Preparation for Battle

When Kurapika first appeared, he said that he wanted to "arrest" the Phantom Troupe. He probably believed this himself. He fashions himself as "just" and a paragon of the law (hence the judicial puns...

Gon was too young to truly understand the implications behind death (which is largely what he has to learn in the Chimera Ant arc--what death truly means and how to cope with it [though I'm...

Well, Masashi Kishimoto has also openly admitted that Sasuke was based upon Kurapika. Sasuke was never intended to exist in the Naruto series to begin with; he was a character added at the behest of...

I think that we might be jumping the gun over whether or not this story deals with the Kurta massacre, though. Togashi may have commented that he wanted to write the story, but the news blurb itself...

This is the gist of it. The English title of the film is "Phantom Rouge," while the Kanji above literally mean "The Scarlet Phantom."

The subtitle of the film is "Phantom Rouge." The kanji literally means "The Scarlet Phantom."

Gon - ISFp
Killua - ENFj
Kurapika - INTj (except when angered... then he's totally ISFj)
Leorio - ESFj
Hisoka - ENTp (maybe ESTp?)


While true, in the context of Jung's theory, Introversion...

There is the possibility that much of the material in the first chapter will be moved to Gon's Whale Island visit. The manga never shows him depart from Mito, but as readers of the manga know, Gon...

My apologies. I never tried to insinuate that you were. My post was intended to be more "speaking of layers, here's something I noticed" type deal for anyone whom has an interest in Madhouse's...

Ah. Now I see my mistake. I was under the impression that Ko = focusing Ren instead of being a combination of the four major principles.

However, what about the Ren belonging to the Chimera Ants?...

Isn't Water Divination the proof that Ren = Hatsu? Whenever someone exerts s strong Ren in the manga, it always seems like they're surrounded in a bright light (and the same thing happened with...

He was, but Hatsu is contingent on Ren. Basically, strong Ren should look like Hatsu all of the time.

Madhouse has been using a lot of interesting animation techniques when it comes to HxH. I don't know how good your vision is, but the layers are really well done--far better than I'm used to seeing...

But this was done for thematic reasons. Death and rebirth are central not only to the existence of the ants, but is ground retread across all fourteen volumes of the Chimera Ant arc.

And...

1. "Requiem Aranea"
2. "The Man of the Reversed Cross"
3. "The Mad Bailaor"
4. "Chain Bastard"
5. "Latent Power"
6. "Spring Prairie"
7. "The Assassin Family's Estate"
8. "Try Your Luck"

Fantastic. I can't wait to hear the entire thing--so many tracks are great. "Death Agony" in particular.

There's too much victimization and not enough fight. Characters remain haunted by demons from their past their entire lives, with these scnes effectively written in pointless flashback scenes sopping...

The song you posted is not unique to Hisoka vs. Kastro in the 1999 series. In fact, it's used fairly frequently. Remember when Gittarackur encounters Gozu during that filler scene in the Fourth...

No, it's actually a very sound analysis. Gon does want to be feared. And in fact, he admires the enemies that give him chills. Hisoka, Razor, Genthru, etc. Despite the fact that all of these men have...

So HxH is a very expressive manga. Characters' faces distort and change all of the time. But Genthru is one of the few in the manga who largely remains expressionless, sans a few instances of delight...

They always do include both. I'll say it as many times as possible, but English speakers should definitely be following along with the Viz version. You'll pick up on so many more things than if you...

Thanks for the images--I don't have the RAWs in front of me, so I was working from my memory. Scratch the heart thing then. The innuendo is still there, though. The verb "yaru" is used pretty...

CR mistranslated Hisoka's last line (the infamous arm-eating scene) by missing the sexual innuendo. It's a homophone--when Hisoka says "I think I have a little motivation now," in Japanese, it sounds...

Oh, I should probably clarify something regarding the censorship. I'm fairly certain that Nexgear decensored those panels themselves. I haven't taken a look at the Japanese version of volume 23 in a...

I like to translate that line as: "I may have unfortunately created an outrageous monster."

The key words in setting the tone are the "te-shimatta," which is used to indicate regret. Wing is...
