Hunter x Hunter Hangout Thread [01]

I think you're naive to your own sake xD If you were a parent that would be something that will annoy you. Not that I'm a parent, but I can understand the feeling.

I think you are right in that way. Personally for me I am not bothered by this and find it simply funny, but a parent may not want their children to see this innuendo I suppose.

[baboysai]

I believe that's where the discussion sprang up in the first place Because it's television and is more accessible than manga, the laws are stricter and it will receive more complaints if explicit scenes may be shown for something supposedly child-friendly like HxH.

But I don't really care. They may or may not show that scene and Hisoka would still remain creepy as hell. Sure his pedophile-ish motivations would add sooooo much more characterization for people who read the manga, but it just ain't wise to show it on television- unless, like all of you seem to agree, they find a very subtle work-around for it.

So watching the new episode of the HxH anime (33), a question came into mind. How is aura able to be recorded on film? I mean I know its actually there, but the whole Gyo watching the video never made that much sense to me. How can footage secretly show up? The 1999 series added a line about a manipulation user filming the video, that made some sense to me, but still not really (and that's filler anyway). So any thoughts or possible explanations for this?

[Uriel]

Well, depends on what camera. I always thought it was due the Nen IN the camera, but now I just think that everything can be photographed and look later their Nen signature.

[Akia999]

There was the presence of nen during the fight even though the audience couldn't notice it ,but the camera is able to pick it up.But only those who learned nen are able to see it.One of the best example I can think of is how some people are able to see a ghost in photograph when there shouldn't be one.Because logically the camera shouldn't be able to capture it because it can't be seen. I have no idea what i just say...

[futurefrog]

I always thought of it as always being there but only some can see it and others can not, it's not like the camera is a human being, it films what is there and if nen is there I'm sure it captures it, but only skilled Nen users can see it. But yes I think Akia has the right idea with how cameras sometimes manage to film 'ghosts'.

[TheAmericandream]

How can a camera pick up things and digitize it, it doesn't actually make sense in the context of Nen, because well, Nen isn't real. So I think what Akia and Uriel said works for me. It's like a Ghost in a photograph, supernatural, but somehow it left its imprint. Thanks for tackling this query of mine guys.

I always saw it as something akin to a colour blind person viewing a photograph/video. The colours are there, the person simply can't see them is all.

Spot on. I think you have the right idea here.

[TheAmericandream]

That is a wonderful analogy!

First, remember this: This is a fantasy show. Anything is possible. What works in their world doesn't necessary mean it works the same as the real world and doesn't require logic.

Second: Maybe their cameras are so advanced that they can capture nen. Imagine it if it's combine the normal camera and the thermal camera. It captures the normal footage and the heat areas.



However, in order to watch the heat areas, you need to use a certain footage filter, and in this case, the filter is the gyo.

This news is a little old, but Hunter x Hunter is the third best! selling manga of the fist half of 2012.

This must have been mentioned before.

But this new world must be the equivalaent of the gourmet world in Toriko world

[Crude]

Yeah I think a lot of people thought of the Gourmet World in Toriko when reading that particular chapter (I know I did xD). I think it's less the fact that the Dark Continent is an unexplored world rather than the fact that it seems to be a continet which surrounds the regular world. Both series' tamed worlds seem to be in the middle of a giant lake belonging to a huge continent.

[SHINOBI-03]

It looks like the Japanese volume 23 has a little bit of censorship too.

I took two pictures of what Viz censored, and to be honest it's not that bad.

Looks like even the Japanese volumes are censored! I though the censorship was Viz's doing.
