Hunter x Hunter is by far my favorite shounen series and it is really depressing that it will likely never end or even resolve a bunch of major character arcs. At least Gon found his dad.

Asuron posted:No you're thinking of the second part of his ability. Kanmaru has two forms , the one where he just moves really fast and the one where he he can move faster than what his body allows. So against the dartboard ants, he knew what was coming so he does what you said and is able to stop it. He never uses the first part in combat though, which was the point I was making. He fights Youpi using the reflex stuff because that's the half of the ability that's oriented towards fighting. He can't just speed blitz whatever he wants, he has to turn his body onto autopilot in order to keep up with his own speed.

Boogaleeboo posted:I don't, she was a cool person and I liked that moment where she told Leorio his heartbeat was comforting and nice and he'd make a much better doctor or professor. Leorio x Melody IMO They never really made clear how much her music ability is able to heal people, since it wouldn't be that useful if the only thing it could do is calm them down, but her hearing ability alone is super powerful and basically turns her into some kind of radar that is able to track people within a pretty large radius and do other stuff like tell if they're lying as well. edit: I've been rewatching the Chimera Ant arc from the anime (I think that I only ever read the manga I never actually watched it) and I forgot how well the King's relationship with Komugi is developed. The end of episode 108 (where he obviously comes to realize he cares for her in some capacity) is really moving. The idea of evil people finding love and becoming good isn't exactly novel, but it is executed extremely well and convincingly here. Ytlaya fucked around with this message at 09:20 on Jan 10, 2016 |

You know as much as the hiatuses suck the chimera ant arc would probably not have been the masterpiece it was if it was being written week to week. If Togashi comes back he should switch to a monthly schedule.

Is HxH one of the few shounen that does NOT have any romance? I guess you can say Gon x Palm but otherwise it's pretty much let's go and travel around the world theme. Let's ignore the Chimeras and that one guy in Yorknew arc. Reminds me I'd like to read a series where romance is not a big factor with a female main character too.

Woof, that's a pretty tough request. As television and movies have proven, if you put a male and female of roughly the same age together for about ten minutes they'll end up making out with each other.

e X posted:One Piece? Yeah, there's no actual romance involving main characters in One Piece. Hancock's feelings toward Luffy are completely unrequited, and Sanji flirting with every reasonably attractive woman he meets is treated as a joke. Sai and Baby 5 fall in love in the Dressrosa arc, but they're minor characters. Edit: Unless "with a female main character" means that the main character is female, which is rare in shonen to begin with. The only shounen that comes to mind is Soul Eater, which has plenty of shippy stuff, although I don't think Maka ever actually has an unambiguous romantic relationship.

I'm going to watch the 1999 HxH & OVAs and read the manga  Hopefully that'll keep me entertained for a bit. Also curious to see the differences b/t this and the reboot.

It should. A lot of people here said they would be fine with Togashi just writing scripts for anime, but honestly, while I like the anime as a companion piece to the original, I think the manga is a lot better. The color and music in the anime massively changes the tone of scenes and not always for the better. It's kind of hard to put in words, but the feel of the manga and the anime are very different. It might not even be any specific changes, but more the strength and weaknesses of the media themselves. Togashi works with a lot unusual panel layouts and a lot of white space and that creates a very alienating feeling, like being of being lost, due to the lack of backgrounds. That gives the entire story a very mysterious, almost sinister atmosphere that the anime just can't recreate. e X fucked around with this message at 20:59 on Jan 11, 2016 |

I generally agree, but the 2011 anime (I haven't seen the other one) has some pretty good tracks. I like a couple of the "something really dramatic and/or sad is happening" themes. My only issue with the way the music is used is that there are certain themes that seem to always be used in certain situations. Like, pretty much any time a Zoldyck is on the screen, they'll play what I'm assuming is the Zoldyck theme. Same goes for Phantom Troupe members. Neither of those themes are bad at all, but they don't always fit the scene and the anime seems to just religiously play them any time a relevant character is around.

For whatever reason I have a real fondness for that moment Shoot starts using his hands as platforms and ties his collar over his eye, which the Narrator says "he had no clear reason to do so." Something about that part gets to me.
