Not to burst anyone's balloon, but isn't a movie revolve solely around Netero and Heaven's Arena a little unlikely? It would be an awesome movie, but I think that a lot of people who'd want to watch an HxH movie (especially kids) would want to see Gon and co. as well. I mean even with extremely popular and succesful franchises such as One Piece would never dream on having a movie revolve around a secondary character and his background. I think that the next movie is going to be similar to this one, but instead of focusing on Kurapika's story it'll focus on Netero's, with the main characters having a part in it as well.

Uhhh Bro. Netero is NO WAY IN ANYWAY! A secondary character. He's the leader of the Hunter Organization. The strongest Hunter, and the most decorated and lively character of the whole show. He's almost a main. I think he deserves some spotlight. Aside from his role in Chiemra ants. I miss him! :O

He's an important character yes, but he's still technically a secondary character. The main characters would be Gon, Killua, Kurapika and Leorio, and event then there are some people who don't even find the latter two to be main characters.

So, is that a comparison of the most money made by movies on their opening weekends? Or just a list of some random ones? Sounds awesome either way.

I know it's been a while since I've posted anything. I've just been lurking. That aside, I'm tempted to go see the Hunter x Hunter movie, despite the fact I haven't kept up with the newer anime at all. I just couldn't get into it much. I can watch it on television and I know it'd be easy to follow, seeing as how I still read its manga and watched the 1999 series (which I still love despite its flaws [especially the seiyuu and the music]). I know the movie came out last weekend. Maybe I'll try going to the movies Sunday to watch it. I read the Kurapika special mentioned a while back, and boy was I fangirling over it! It was so nice to finally read about his past. Long awaited on my part. I had many theories, of course. lol

If I don't see it...it's because I chickened out and felt too nervous to even attempt to go to a Japanese theatre to see an animated film without a kid by my side. Maybe I can talk a couple of friends into going. We'll look foolish together. ^^ lol

Actually, I heard from a lot of people who went that most of the theatre was filled with people who were at least 20 years old.

And I think any bit of new HxH material is worth checking out whether one has seen the new series or not.

I'm over the age of 20. Way over it, in fact, although, I get mistaken for being in my early 20s all the time. lol

despite being a shonen manga hxh is actually good for mature readers that why you will find less kids and more grown up viewers but i doubt it for the next movie. the theater will be filled with everyone ..i think you read the manga and you know why..the ideas that togashi bring are really mature plus his wonderful art make hxh a masterpiece 'i know sometime he f*** it up but .....''..if just he wasn't going through those hiatsu he would be number 1 in japan

Don't worry ssjup81, you will not look foolish. I was afraid of the same thing (I'm 24), that I would stand out in a cinema full of kids and since I'm a westerner it would be worse.

I went yesterday and I was so surprised. I swear there wasn't a single person that looked under 18, I even saw people that looked over 40. I guess Japanese people don't care what other people think, they like something, they go for it. It's the same thing with clothes. If I had to describe their fashion sense I would say it is "everything goes with everything". I've seen some really weird fashion styles but no one judges (unless it is too revealing, they're modest). I love this kind of mentality, and I'm really gonna miss it when I go back home.

As for the movie, well my Japanese sucks so I understood only about half of it. It was ok for a movie but definetely not at the level of Togashi. The vilain lacked debth (that could be due to my low understanding of Japanese so don't pay too much attention to it) and some of the characters felt passive, especially the Genei Ryodan. It is difficult to explain without giving anything away.

I got the free booklet too. I wasn't expecting it really because I thought that they only had them for the first screenings and the movie has been out for a week now. It is in Japanese though "sigh"

Nah, just usually busy stressing over work (this job ends in March, btw, and I'm looking forward to it, but hope I got the other job I applied for so I can stay over here). Also, the nearest theater isn't close to me. I live in a small town of the Yamagata prefecture. The closest movie theaters to me are in Yamagata city and Yonezawa city. I also don't drive, so that's an issue. I could always take the train to either place (Yamagata especially, since I used to live there when I was here my first time back in 2010 [I went home shortly after the earthquake in 2011 and returned to Japan in late March 2012]), but it's a hassle for that sole reason, unless I plan to stay overnight or something. If I drove, it'd be more convenient.

Like I said, maybe I could ask a couple of friends if they'd like to go. I saw the live-action Rurouni Kenshin movie with them (despite my not being a Kenshin fan). My Japanese sucks big time though, but I figured out what was going on, for the most part, through the scenes. I'm sure I could get the gist of a Hunter x Hunter movie. lol
